This permit may be reopened and modified to implement nutrient requirements in accordance with any future
TMDL and/or nutrient management strategy for High Rock Lake.
A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)and specify
that,if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will
be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
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"

Beginning no later than November 1,2014,the permittee shall begin reporting 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. 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/Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files/eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 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.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements 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 using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve(12)months
and shall thereupon expire. At such time,DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the
permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
