DANIEL SMITH Director Mr. Shannon Becker Aqua North Carolina, Inc. 202 Mackenan Court Cary, NC 27511 Dear Mr. Becker: NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality 5/11/2020 Subject: Change -Page to Correct Error NPDES Permit NCO061719 Woodlake Country Club WWTP Moore County The Division of Water Resources (the Division) became aware of an error in your recently issued permit (December 16, 2019). The instream waste concentration (IWC) in Section A. (5) does not accurately reflect the IWC for a permitted flow of 0.5 MGD. In addition, all three toxicity conditions were not updated to include information regarding electronic submittal of forms. Accordingly, we hereby forward the modified permit pages to amend your permit updating the aquatic toxicity conditions in Sections A. (4), A. (5), and A. (6). Please insert these change pages into your existing permit and discard the old pages. We regret any inconvenience this causes your organization. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or any other Federal, State, or Local governmental permits that may be required. If you have questions, or if we can be of further service, please contact Brianna Young at brianna.young@ncdenr.gov or call (919) 707-3619. Respectfully, DocuSigned by: 8328644CC�E9�E B4A1... S.

(4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL MONITORING ONLY (QUARTERLY) Permitted Flow of 0.3 MGD [15A NCAC 02B. 0500 et seq.] The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," (Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions). The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 2.8 %. The testing shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during the months of February, May, August, and November. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using the Division's eDMR system for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP311. Additionally, DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1621 Or, results can be sent to the email, ATForms.ATB@ncdenr.gov. Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. 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. The report shall be submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.

A. (7) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G. S. 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. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1 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. 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, Page 12 of 15
