Notes:
1. Upstream monitoring shall be at the Permittee's Cape Fear River Water Intake; downstream shall be at the
boat ramp approximately 4500 feet downstream at Prospect Hall Landing.
As a participant in the Middle Cape Fear River Basin Association, the instream monitoring requirements for
conventional parameters (DO, temperature, and conductivity) as stated above are waived. Should your
membership in the agreement be terminated, you shall notify the Division immediately and the instream
monitoring requirements specified in your permit shall be reinstated.
Influent — influent to the Old Outfall 002 Wastewater Treatment System. Note the Outfall 003 concentration
limitations do not apply to the influent. Influent sampling is required to calculate the HFPO-DA and
PFMOAA percent removal.
Effluent — Outfall 003 (effluent from the Old Outfall 002 Wastewater Treatment System).
2. The temperature of the effluent shall be such as not to cause an increase in the temperature of the receiving
stream of more than 2.8°C and in no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 32°C.
3. The requirement for 99% removal at the treatment system for PMPA shall not become effective until Jan. 31,
2021. The monitoring and reporting requirements for PMPA are effective immediately.
4. The Permittee shall remove indicator parameters HFPO-DA, PFMOAA, and PMPA at an efficiency of 99% in
order to reduce PFAS loading to the Cape Fear River. The effluent limits listed above are Technology Based
Effluent Limits ("TBELs") calculated to ensure a minimum of 99% removal efficiency. In addition to
complying with these effluent limits the Permittee must demonstrate compliance with the 99% removal
efficiency requirement by calculating monthly removal efficiency for HFPO-DA, PFMOAA, and PMPA
pursuant to condition A. (6.). The Permittee may request revision of the 99% removal efficiency requirement
upon a demonstration that influent concentrations of PFAS have been reduced to such a level that 99% removal
Page 4 of 12
Permit NCO089915
is no longer technically feasible. However, notwithstanding any such revision, Chemours shall continue to
operate the Treatment System at optimal efficiency.
5. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F @ 12.5%; quarterly during February, May, August, November; see
condition A. (2.) of this permit.
6. Sufficiently sensitive test methods shall be used to analyze for Silver. The Division shall consider all effluent
Silver values reported below the PQL to be in compliance with the Monthly Average Silver limit. As of the
effective date of this permit, DWR recommends a target PQL of 1.0 µg/L for Silver.
7. After 12 months of sampling the facility can apply for a reduction in sampling if all the sampling results
demonstrate concentrations below detection levels. The facility shall be employing the sufficiently sensitive
test methods.
8. The permittee shall sample instream hardness upstream of the facility's discharge. The sample shall be
representative of the hardness in the stream. If the permittee is a member of the Monitoring Coalition Program,
sampling for instream hardness may be waived as long as the Monitoring Coalition agrees to sample hardness
at the nearest upstream location, at a minimum frequency of quarterly, and the permittee has obtained approval
from DWR -NPDES Permitting Unit that the upstream station being monitored by the coalition is representative
of the receiving stream for this discharge. The permittee is responsible for submitting instream hardness test
results with its DMRs as results are received from the coalition. If coalition membership is cancelled or the
Monitoring Coalition terminates instream hardness sampling at the approved station, the permittee will
immediately notify the Division and resume sampling for instream hardness, upstream of its discharge, as
required in Section A. (1.).
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF FLOATING SOLIDS OR VISIBLE FOAM IN OTHER THAN TRACE AMOUNTS.
The facility shall develop a Dam (collection system) Operation and Maintenance Plan (Plan) to ensure
maximum dry weather flow (— 610 gpm) in the channel is consistently captured and treated. Similar efforts
shall be applied at the sumps/dams or other devices that will be used to capture water from the seeps.
The Plan shall be provided to the DEQ no later than October 18, 2020 for review and approval. Upon
approval, the Plan becomes an integral part of the permit.
The facility shall complete and submit EPA Form 2C for this Outfall no later than March 30, 2021.
From time -to -time the Middle Cape Fear River has experienced flooding conditions which are documented to
cause a significant increase in water levels below Lock and Dam 93, consistent with the location of proposed
Outfall 003. During these events a backwater condition propagates upstream in the "Old Outfall 002
Stream". Historical observation indicates that the Old Outfall 002 Stream levels can rise significantly (consistent
with the flooded Cape Fear River levels) and would be expected, at times, to be equal to or significantly greater
than the invert elevation of the treatment system intake dam and associated pumping system. During these
flooded backwater conditions elevated sediment load and reduced flow velocity gradients are expected to cause
significant sediment deposition within the collection dam and pumping structure. The sediment load may cause
failure of the pumping and treatment system during the flooded backwater condition. Requirement for treatment
shall be suspended during these force majeure flooding events and be allowed 48 hours after the backwater stream
level falls below the invert of the intake collection dam to safely maintain the influent collection structure and re-
initiate collection and treatment. The triggering Cape Fear River flood elevations; event documentation and
notification requirements; and procedure for treatment cessation and safe restart shall be included in the approved
Dam Operation and Maintenance Plan. Whenever treatment is suspended under this condition, the permittee shall
document the flooding in the DMR for that month including the time of flooding above the intake invert, when
the water recedes below the intake invert, and time that treatment resumes.

Permit NCO089915
A. (2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT P/F (QUARTERLY) — OUTFALL 003
[ 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 12.5%.
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 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.
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 electronically using the
Division's eDMR system for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP313 for the
pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-3 (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.ATBgncdenr.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.
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.
Page 6 of 12
Permit NCO089915
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (3.) RE -OPENER CONDITION
[NCGS 143-215.3 (a) (2) and NCGS 143-215.66]
This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate additional limitations and monitoring
requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies indicate that detrimental effects may be expected as a
result of this discharge. Additionally, and if appropriate, after 3 years of treatment system operation the division
will evaluate effluent limits and adjust the limits if the analysis indicates an improved performance.
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[G. S. 143-215.1(b)]

Notes:
1. Monitoring for the compound is suspended until an appropriate testing methodology is established.
The facility will be notified by DWR when monitoring shall begin.
A. (6.) CALCULATION OF HFPO-DA, PFMOAA, & PMPA REMOVAL/LOADS
a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly removal efficiency for HFPO-DA, PFMOAA and PMPA as
follows:
Removal = Influent -Effluent
Influent
Where:
Influent = monthly average influent concentration
Effluent = monthly average effluent concentration
b. The Permittee shall calculate monthly load for HFPO-DA, PFMOAA, and PMPA as follows:
Monthly C Load = C x TMF x 8.34
Where:
C = monthly average concentration for each compound (mg/L)
TMF = Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
Annual C Load = Sum of the 12 Monthly Loads for each compound for the calendar year
c. The Permittee shall report monthly HFPO-DA, PFMOAA, and PMPA results [% removal (ng/L), and
Loading (pounds/month)] in the discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each calendar
year's Annual Load (pounds/year) with the December report for that year. Percent removal shall be listed
in the comment section of the eDMR since it has no parameter code. The requirement for 99% removal at
the treatment system for PMPA shall not become effective until Jan. 31, 2021.
In addition, calculations shall be submitted electronically with all PFAS data to NPDES Permitting via
email at svc_dec-npdes-ec o,ncdenr.gov, with the Facility permit number and name in the Subject
heading.
This percent removal will be reported monthly with Chemours electronic Discharge Monitoring Report
(eDMR) data. If the influent HFPO-DA or PFMOAA concentrations to the water treatment system are
equal to or less than 200 ng/L and 500 ng/L, respectively, then the water treatment system effluent
concentrations of less than the current reporting limits (2 ng/L and 5 ng/L, respectively) shall be
considered as achieving 99% removal.
