Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity(AT)test form indicating the facility name,permit number,pipe number, county,and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow"in the comment area of the form.

Page 4 of 6 Permit NC0027626 A. (4.) 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 1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.)(a)], 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 SerTrice Center Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 If a permitteeis 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. Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr Page 5 of 6 Permit NC0027626 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. 2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B.(11.) (b) and supersedes Section B.(11.) (d)1 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://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make the following certification [40 CFR 122.22].
