McLawhorn,Chairman The Neuse River Compliance Association PO Box 1410 Clayton,North Carolina 27528-1410 Subject: Modification of Permit No. NCC000001 Neuse River Compliance Association Dear Mr. McLawhorn: The Division has reviewed the Neuse River Compliance Association's September 27,2019, request for modification of its NPDES permit and is forwarding herewith the revised pages of the permit(cover sheet and Appendix A). Please replace the.affected pages of your current permit,issued December 12,2018,with these revised pages.This minor permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,dated October 15,2007. This permit modification includes the following changes,which become effective January 1, 2020: • The Appendix A table now includes the two new co-permittee members and their facilities,per your request: o the City of Durham and its North Water Reclamation Facility (NC0023841),and o the Town of Hillsborough and its Hillsborough Wastewater Treatment Plant (NC0026433). In each case,the facility's active TN allocation matches its active Falls Lake allocation and limit,and the remainder of its estuary allocation is held in reserve. This is consistent with the arrangements previously made for the SGWASA WWTP. All other terms and conditions of the 2018 permit are unchanged and remain in full effect. With the addition of these members,the Association's Estuary TN Active Allocation and Limit increases to 1,198,0221b/yr. If any parts of this permit modification are unacceptable to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made,this decision shall be final and binding.

Craven County is currently leasing Total Nitrogen(TN)allocation from other members of the NRCA until the proposed facility is constructed and a determination is made as to the allocation needed for its discharge. 2. Duke Energy's Lee Steam Electric Plant is allowed a baseline TN load of 3,2601b/yr at its Outfall 001 (2,2821b/yr at the estuary).Incremental loads above the baseline allowance are subject to the Neuse River Nutrient Strategy-Wastewater Rule,15A NCAC 02B.0234(proposed for renumbering as 02B.0713). 3. In 1999,Burlington Industries deeded its TN allocation(since adjusted to 24,400 lb/yr at the estuary)for use by the Association and its Co-Permittee Members.At present, the allocation is a group holding assigned to this group permit and is not associated with any individual permit.Unless noted otherwise in this Appendix A,the entire amount of the allocation is active and is included in the Association Estuary TN Allocation and Limit. 4. This allocation has been purchased by the co-permittee member and will be held in reserve until activated.Activation must be consistent with the Neuse River TMDL. 5. This allocation is being held in reserve by the co-permittee member.Due to the more stringent TN limit applied in the Falls Lake nutrient strategy,which became effective with CY2016,this portion of the allocation is not available for the permittee's use for its existing discharge. Effective:January 1,2020.
