Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0025071
Mebane Bridge WWTP
Rockingham County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Corcoran:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it
contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• Based on NPDES guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies in NPDES
permits for exceptionally performing facilities, monitoring requirements for BOD5,NH3-
N,Total Suspended Solids and Fecal Coliform have been reduced to twice per week[See
A.(1)].
• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard(WQS)Triennial Review was approved by the
NC Environmental Management Committee(EMC)on November 13,2014. The US EPA
subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6,2016 with some exceptions. The NC
Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new
dissolved metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016. The new
standards for most metals include acute standards. Further, the freshwater standards for
several metals are expressed as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have
hardness-dependent equations. As a result, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-
specifc effluent hardness data and instream hardness data,upstream of the discharge, for
each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations. Effluent
hardness and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, have been added to
the permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See A.(1.)].
• The Town of Template reported Total Silver at less than detection,with detection level <
5.0 pg/L in the Effluent Pollutant Scans (or their DMR results). The Town's allowable

discharge concentration is 1.2 µg/L for Total Silver.DWR's laboratory identifies the target
Practical Quantification Limit (PQL) for Total Silver as 1.0 µg/L. 15A NCAC 2B .0505
(e)(4) requires that all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are
below the permit discharge requirements and all data generated must be reported to the
approved detection level or lower reporting level of the procedure.If no approved methods
are capable of achieving a detection level below the permit discharge requirement (or
allowable discharge concentration) the method with the lowest detection level must be
used.The Town should use sufficiently sensitive test methods for all pollutants,including
when performing Effluent Pollutant Scans.
• Based on Mercury TMDL evaluation showing mercury values reported at levels > 1 ng/L
and since the permitted flow is greater than 2 MGD, Special Condition A.(4.) Mercury
Minimization Plan has been added to the permit. Annual monitoring has been removed,
however,the permittee shall continue to sample for mercury using EPA Method 1631E in
the 3 Effluent Pollutant Scans[See A.(3.)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit, please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A. (3.)has been modified to include the specific three years in which
the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2021,2022,and 2023). In addition,at the
end of the Special Condition,2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal
permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been added.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs)and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge
monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring
Report(eDMR)internet application has been added to yourNPDES permit [See Special
Condition A. (5.)].
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements [See A. (1.)].
The NPDES standard conditions(Parts II,III,and IV)that are a part of the permit are not included
in this draft document(cover, map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your current
permit except that agency and division names have been updated.The latest version is available at
https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.

A.(2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 5.4%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised December 2010, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March,June,September and December. 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.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV
below the permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in
each of the two following months as described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-December 2010)or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,DWR Form AT-
3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: 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.ATBnancdenr.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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. 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,monitoring
will be required during the following month.Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity
testing quarter,which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which
toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that Municipal
facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are also subject to additional
toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR 122.21(j)(5). The US EPA requires four(4)
toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test species currently required in this permit. The multiple species
tests should be conducted either quarterly for a 12-month period prior to submittal of the permit renewal
application,or four tests performed at least annually in the four and one half year period prior to the application.
These tests shall be performed for acute or chronic toxicity, whichever is specified in this permit. The multiple
species toxicity test results shall be filed with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621
Or, results can be sent to the email:[e-mail].
Contact the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Branch at 919-743-8401 for guidance on conducting the additional
toxicity tests and reporting requirements. Results should also be summarized in Part E(Toxicity Testing Data)of
EPA Municipal Application Form 2A,when submitting the permit renewal application to the NPDES Permitting
Unit.
A. (4.)MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN(MMP) [G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
The permittee shall develop and implement a mercury minimization plan during this permit term. The
MMP shall be developed within 180 days of the NPDES Permit Effective Date, and shall be available
for inspection on-site.A sample MMP was developed through a stakeholder review process and has been
placed on the Division website for guidance (https://deq.nc.gov/document/nc-model-mercury-
minimization-plan-dwr-npdes-swp-20130801). The MMP should place emphasis on identification of
mercury contributors and goals for reduction. Results shall be summarized and submitted with the next
permit renewal.Performance of the Mercury Minimization Plan will meet the requirements of the TMDL
(Total Maximum Daily Load) for mercury approved by USEPA on October 12,2012,unless and until a
Waste Load Allocation specific to this facility is developed and this NPDES permit is amended to require
further actions to address the Waste Load Allocation.

A.(5.)ELECTRONIC REPORTING-DISCHARGE 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.)(ail
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. The eDMR system may be
accessed at:https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
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 following address:

date will be extended if the implementation date is extended as a final regulation change in the
federal register.
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://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-
pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the"Reporting Requirements"section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
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://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
