Downstream: At NCSR 1831. 3. TRC limit and monitoring requirements apply only if chlorine is used in the treatment process. See A. (4) for instructions should the facility's permitted UV disinfection system fail and an alternate means of disinfection is required. Page 3 of 9 Permit NCO049662 4. For a given wastewater sample, TN = TKN + NO2-N + NO3-N, where TN is Total Nitrogen, TKN is Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, and NO3-N and NO2-N are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively. 5. TN Load is the mass quantity of Total Nitrogen discharged in a given period of time. See also Special Condition A. (2. ), Calculation of TN Loads. 6. Annual Average = The arithmetic mean of all daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. There shall be no discharge off loafing solids or v sible foam in other than trace amounts. A. (2) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS [NCGS 143-215.1 (b)] a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Monthly Total Nitrogen (TN) Load (pounds/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34 Where TN = average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month TMF = Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month) = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds ii. Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and pounds/month) in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (pounds/year) in the December report for that year. A. (3.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN [NCGS 143-215.1 (b)] a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin apply on a calendar year basis. b. For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit in this Permit if. i. the Permittee's annual TN discharge is less than or equal to its TN Load limit, or ii. the Permittee is a co -permittee member of a TN compliance association. C. If the Permittee is not a co -permittee member of a TN compliance association and the Permittee's cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation. . d. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the Permittee's TN allocation. i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. ii. The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper Page 4 of 9 Permit NCO049662 application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. iii. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes proposed for the following calendar year. iv. Application shall be sent to: NCDEQ/DWR/NPDES Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 e. If the Permittee is a member and co -permittee of an approved TN compliance association, its TN discharge during that year is governed by that association's group NPDES permit and the TN limits therein. i. The Permittee shall be considered a Co -Permittee Member for any given calendar year in which it is identified as such in Appendix A of the association's group NPDES permit. ii. Association roster(s) and members' TN allocations will be updated annually and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. iii. If the Permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be notified of the proposed action in accordance with the procedures defined in the association's NPDES permit. (A) Upon receipt of timely and proper notification, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. (B) Membership changes in a compliance association become effective on January 1 of the year following modification of the association's permit. f. The TN monitoring and reporting requirements in this Permit remain in effect until expiration of this Permit and are not affected by the Permittee's membership in a compliance association. A. (4.) TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS [NCGS 143-215.1 (b)] a. The following table lists the Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation(s) assigned to, acquired by, or transferred to the Permittee in accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management rule (T15A NCAC 02B.0234) and the status of each as of permit issuance. For compliance purposes, this table does not supersede any TN limits) established elsewhere in this permit or in the NPDES permit of a compliance association of which the Permittee is a Co -Permittee Member. TN ALLOCATION' ALLOCATION SOURCE DATE STATUS TYPE Estuary Discharge (poundslyear) ; : (poundslyear) Base Assigned by Rule 1217/1997, 506 5,055 Active (T15A NCAC 02B .0234) 4/1/2003 TOTAL 506 5,055 1. Footnote: Transport Factor = 1 Q% b. Any addition, deletion, or modification of the listed allocation(s) (other than to correct Page 5 of 9 Permit NCO049662 typographical errors) or any change to Active status of any of the listed allocations shall be considered a major modification of this permit and shall be subject to the public review process afforded such modifications under state and federal rules. A. (5) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION [NCGS 143-215.1 (a)] a. In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail, under -perform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Raleigh Regional Office (919/791-4200) of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent. b. If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not exceed 22 pg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream. c. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 pg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50 pg/L. d. Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit. A. (6) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [NCGS 143-215.1 (b)] Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. 12.1 and Section E._(5.)fa] The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Page 6 of 9 Permit NCO049662 Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section ATTENTION: Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1. 1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance monitoring data and reports, when applicable: • Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; • Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and • Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports. The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below). 2. Electronic Submissions In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient for the electronic submission. Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)). EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: https:/Iwww.federalregister..ov/documents/2015/ 10/22/2015-24954/national- pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting rule Page 7 of 9 Permit NCO049662 Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above. 3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Re ortin The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is effective. Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the following web page: http:l Ideg.nc. gov/about/divisions/ water -resources / edmr 4. ftMatory Requirements ISupplements, Section B. 11.1 (b and Supersedes Section B. 11. d All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes. For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page: http:lldeg.nc.jZov about)divisions1water-resources edmr Certification.
