BACKGROUND
Pharmaceutical Products Development, Inc. (PPD) constructed an office building on a 7.48-acre
tract formerly used as a chemical terminal by Almont Shipping. Following construction,
groundwater was observed seeping into the lower parking deck and the adjacent courtyard. To
receive a final Certificate of Occupancy, the City of Wilmington required PPD to recover the
seepage and discharge the wastewaters to the City's sanitary sewer under an approved Industrial
User Permit (IUP).
Wilmington issued the IUP permit under the condition that PPD investigate an alternative
disposal method, and subsequently DWR required PPD to perform an Engineering Alternatives
Analysis (EAA). The EAA concluded that a direct discharge to the Northeast Cape Fear River
was the most economically feasible disposal alternative to a sanitary sewer discharge; DWR
concurred.
PPD remains permitted as an Industrial User with Wilmington's POTW, however both parties
understand that this option is temporary and may be discontinued at Wilmington's discretion. To
date, there has been no surface discharge of wastewaters via the NPDES permit. The Permit
requires PPD to notify the Division of intent to discharge at minimum thirty (30) days in advance
to allow adequate time for treatment -facility inspection [see Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet].

Permit No. NC0088811
ASSUMED CONDITIONS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Depending on rain events 8,000 gpd to 10,500 gpd of recovered groundwater is discharged to the
POTW. The initial analysis of the ground water yielded high levels of ammonia and arsenic.
PPD's original application included an ion -exchange system proposed to reduce ammonia and
arsenic levels in extracted groundwater prior to discharge. A treatability study was conducted to
determine the optimum treatment system configuration to achieve the target treatment goals of
an arsenic human health (HH) standard of 10 ug/L and an ammonia limitation of 2 mg/L. PPD
reported study results showing the proposed treatment system would achieve effluent
concentrations of < 3 mg/L for ammonia and < 10 ug/L for arsenic.
The proposed treatment system is proposed to consist of disposable cartridge pre -filters to
remove suspended materials, a series of ion -exchange tanks to remove arsenic and ammonia,
plus a pH adjustment system. In addition, as the ion system becomes spent, a contract service
will be hired to install new units, remove spent units, and assume responsibility for proper
permitted disposal of spent units.
PPD proposes an optimum treatment design flow of 10 gpm (range 2 to 20 gpm). For permitting
purposes 20 gpm or 0.029 MGD was established to limit permitted flow. The discharge would
flow to a local storm drain [under zero -flow receiving -steam conditions], discharging via Outfall
001 approximately 1,000 feet from the site to the Northeast Cape Fear River.
The Northeast Cape Fear is a class SC; Sw [swamp] waterbody within the Cape Fear River Basin
but is simultaneously influenced by tides. This stream segment is listed on the 303(d) list, 2018
impaired for copper.
START-UP PERMITTING STRATEGY (2009)
Startup permitting (Oct2009) compared well data (untreated) to water quality standards and
Effluent Guidelines [see Ron Berry's Fact Sheet 020ct2009]. For initial startup, DWR evaluated
wastewaters discharged to the POTW (not the environment). The IUP discharges were tested for
metals: As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ba, Al, Ni, and Mo. Evaluations also included Ammonia, Chloride,
TKN, TSS, pH, Conductivity, and Temperature. Twice a year PPD also tested for the Ag, CN,
Pb, Phosphorus, and Oil & Grease.
Previous Permit Limits. DWR identified TSS, ammonia, arsenic, chromium, and pH as
pollutants of concern (POCs) requiring limits. Per Division policy, for a "tidal" receiving stream,
ammonia limits [NH3 as N] were established for summer and winter conditions with monthly and
daily average limits. Arsenic and Chromium limits were required to meet chronic class SC water
quality standards, as weekly/monthly averages. To comply with EPA guidelines Arsenic and
Chromium required monthly average and daily maximum limits.
TSS was limited to meet Effluent Guidelines and included daily / monthly average limits. pH
was limited by a range for SC waters. A Quarterly Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) test, Acute
Pass/Fail, was added to evaluate toxicity. Additional monitoring for action level toxicants
(copper, silver, and zinc) was also required, sampling concurrently with the WET test.
Page 2 of 9
Permit No. NC0088811
Because of a potential for other pollutants to emerge from extracted ground water, the Division
included a Special Condition allowing DWR to reopen the permit and request additional
analysis, as warranted. Because the flow is estimated < 30,000 gpm, all samples were stipulated
as "Grab." Because this portion of the Cape Fear is not listed as NSW, no additional TN or TP
monitoring is required. Oil and grease are addressed in the narrative.
RENEWAL PERMITTING STRATEGY
This facility has not yet discharged to surface waters, nor has the Permittee built the treatment
system described herein. Therefore, no toxicity tests or compliance inspections have been
performed on discharge to the environment. DWR considered current permit limits based on a
list of POC monitored discharge to the POTW; also considering POCs issued in the previous
permit. Again, there are no effluent data / no discharge to the environment and therefore no data
for reasonable potential analysis (RPA).
Because there are no new data, the list of POCs remains unchanged and limited at each
respective standard under receiving stream zero -flow conditions (no dilution), in deference to
EPA's anti -backsliding. For those POCs limited, renewal limits mirror, as previously, the
established standards published as NORTH CAROLINA INSTREAM TARGET VALUES
(10JuN2019). No changes Recommended.
COMPLIANCE REVIEW
I late 2019, The Permittee submitted WET -test results not required under its active reporting
waiver. These tests evaluated discharges to the POTW (not to surface waters). This error
prompted DWR to rescind the waiver, erroneously assume that PPD had resumed discharge
without notification or authorization. DWR responded with a Notice of Violation (NOV) and yet
another for "failure to submit" subsequent DMRs." Because PPD's initial reporting was
explained as a staff error, the waiver has since been resumed and DWR's assessments
withdrawn. No changes recommended.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit:
1. Language has been updated in Section A. (1) and Section A. (4) requiring electronic
submission of effluent data. Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all
discharge monitoring reports (DMRs).
2. Outfall map has been updated.
3. Language on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet has been updated.
4. The facility Classification has been updated to include citation [Section A. (1)].
5. Monitoring for Total Hardness has been added in Section A. (1) as monitoring is required
for hardness -dependent metals — effluent and upstream of the discharge.
6. Updated the footnotes in Section A. (1).
7. Toxicity language in Section A. (2) has been updated.
8. Test has been added detailing Metals Evaluation for Total Hardness.

NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards — Freshwater Standards
The NC 2007-2015 Water Quality Standard (WQS) Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA
subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore,
metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect
the new standards - as approved.

General Information on the Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The RPA process itself did not change as the result of the new metals standards. However,
application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration
in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge.
The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream)
hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge.
Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR
122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for
use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for
each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators
developed in accordance with established methodology.
Page 5 of 9
Permit No. NC0088811
RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater
The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of
concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based
on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream.
If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute),
the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in
most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e.
consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in
the reissued permit.
1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer
compiles the following information:
• Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically
calculates the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs) a993
• Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred
• Permitted flow
• Receiving stream classification
2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern
and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent
and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations.
The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for
any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for
instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge.
If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation
using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum
limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400
mg/L, respectively.
If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing
reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific
effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun
using the new data.
The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows:
Combined Hardness (chronic) =
(Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) x (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L)
(Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs)
The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1Q10 flow.
3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total
recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific
translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology.
Page 6 of 9
Permit No. NC0088811
EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for
dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream
ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients
found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable
Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the
equation:
Cdiss =
Ctotal
1
1 + { [Kpo] [ss(l+d>] [10-6] }
Where:
ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used,
and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between
dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -
dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs.
4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition
coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient
conditions.
In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie.
silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA
conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This
method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's
criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June,
1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document.
5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable
concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation:
Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) — (s7Q10) (Cb)
Qw
Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L)
Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L)
Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L
or mg/L)
Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10)
s7Q10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and
human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from
noncarcinogens (cfs)
* Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background
concentrations
Flows other than s7Q10 may be incorporated as applicable:
1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity
QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of
water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens
30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality
Page 7 of 9
Permit No. NC0088811
6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of
concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the
date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th
percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are
compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is
necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable
concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the
water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in
the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water
Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991.
7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in
accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to
Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements.
8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and
hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total
chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are
no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum
concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality
standards for chromium III and chromium VI.
9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge,
are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to
ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset.
10. Hardness and flow values used in the Reasonable Potential Analysis for this permit

Investigative Monitoring
Dear Mr. Gross,
Several emerging compounds have been found in North Carolina waters, including the chemical 1,4-
dioxane. Data reviewed as part of the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3) has
indicated elevated concentrations for 1,4-dioxane in the Cape Fear River Basin. In addition, ambient
monitoring performed by DWR's Water Sciences Section have confirmed the presence of the chemical in
the Cape Fear River Basin. See ambient monitoring study reports listed under the following link:
https://deq.nc. gov/about/divisions/water-resources/waterresources-data/water-sciences-home-page/ 1-4-
dioxane
Background
1,4-dioxane is a clear liquid that is highly miscible in water. It has historically been used as a solvent
stabilizer and is currently used for a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing purposes. The
compound can be found in industrial solvents, paint strippers, and varnishes and is often produced as a
by-product of chemical processes to manufacture soaps, plastics, and other consumer products.
The U.S. EPA has not established a maximum contaminant level for 1,4-dioxane in drinking water but
has characterized it as "likely to be carcinogenic to humans" and has established a drinking water health
advisory of 35 µg/L. North Carolina has a calculated human health surface water criterion with an
associated estimated lifetime cancer risk of one in one million at a concentration for 1,4-dioxane of 0.35
µg/L in water supplies and 80 µg/L in all other waterbodies (15A NCAC 02B .0208).
Required Actions
To assess the levels of these compounds throughout the Cape Fear and to assist DWR in developing a
Management Strategy to address and reduce levels of these emerging compounds, Industries permitted
under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) which employ processes associated
with the discharge of these compounds are hereby required to perform investigative monitoring at the
treatment plant effluent for 1,4-dioxane once per month for three consecutive months starting in October
2019. Such investigative actions can be required under 15A NCAC 02B .0508 (b)(2) and G.S. 143-
215.66.
Samples collected should be representative of the typical wastewater discharged from your facility.
Sufficiently sensitive test methods shall be used.

If your effluent samples exceed the human health surface water criteria for 1,4-dioxane pertaining to your
receiving stream classification, DWR NPDES Complex Permitting Staff will evaluate the impact on the
receiving stream based on your facility's discharge and receiving stream volume. If necessary, NPDES
staff will contact you to develop a corrective action plan to begin reducing or eliminating 1,4-dioxane
discharges from your facility.
More Information
The Department looks forward to working closely with you on this important public health issue. Data
from the Cape Fear River Basin will be evaluated to determine next steps to reduce the discharge of 1,4-
dioxane throughout the State.
Please contact any of the following DWR NPDES Complex Permitting Unit staff members if you
have any questions or concerns: Julie Grzyb 919-707-3605, Cassidy Kurtz 919-707-3613 or Nick

Facility Class I
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we
are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit 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 (or as subsequently amended).
As identified previously, the renewal permit contains the following significant changes from your
current permit:
• The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your NPDES permit. [See Special
Condition A. (4.)]
For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web
page: http://portal.ncdenr.orq/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr.
For information on EPA's proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following website:
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/proposed-npdes-electronic-reportinq-rule.
• Discharge data, collected as part of Pharmaceutical Product Development's Industrial User Permit (IUP), was
evaluated for the period of Jan. 2011 through October 2014. A Reasonable potential analysis was performed on
the data to determine what toxic parameters should continue to be limited, removed, or added to the NPDES permit
as follows:
o Effluent monitoring for silver was removed from the permit because all IUP samples were less than the
detection level.
o Bi-annual IUP sampling for cyanide showed one hit at 17 ug/L and six at <5 ug/L during the past four years
(2011-2014). Since this is a limited data set (less than 8 samples) and all samples were non -detect except

o Reasonable Potential to violate state Water Quality Standards (WQSs) was shown using IUP discharge data
for arsenic, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel. As a result, arsenic and chromium limitations and monitoring
were maintained in the permit. Limitations and monitoring were added for molybdenum and nickel.
o IUP discharge data for copper showed reasonable potential for the effluent to violate state Water Quality
Standards. IUP discharge data for Zn did not show potential to violate state WQSs; however, the predicted Zn
concentration was greater than 50% of the total allowable concentration. Copper and zinc have action level
standards which apply in conjunction with toxicity test results. Since the facility is not discharging to state
waters at this time, limitations for copper and zinc are not required but quarterly monitoring for both parameters
was maintained in the permit.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2.), Acute Toxicity Pass/Fail Limit and the testing
organism was changed to Mysid Shrimp. Per EPA guidance, the most sensitive species should be chosen when
testing only one species (USEPA 1991). Although no species is always the most sensitive to all toxicants,
Mysidopsis bahia has been documented to show a greater sensitivity to ion toxicity than other saltwater test species
(Pillard et al. 2000). Language was inserted at the bottom of this condition that describes a permittee's options for
alternative test species selection.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and 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.
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 any questions concerning this permit, please contact Julie Grzyb by email (julie.grzyb@ncdenr.gov) or

Page 3 of 7
Permit NC0088811
A. (2.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North
Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single
Effluent Concentration" (Revised December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed
as a Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no
time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). 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.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly
test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE3E.
Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1623 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623
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 until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. 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 either these monitoring requirements 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.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival 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.
Page 4 of 7
Permit NC0088811
USE OF A DIFFERENT TEST ORGANISM
The permittee may request the use of a different test organism upon documentation that the alternate test
organism would provide an equal or greater level of protection and is appropriate based on the characteristics
of the discharge and receiving stream. Such documentation would consist of one of the following:
1. For saltwater classified streams, a fathead minnow may be assigned as the acute testing species if the
salinity of the receiving stream at the point of discharge is <5 ppt throughout the tidally influenced
cycle. This determination may be based on the best professional judgment of DWR staff or data
collection provided by the permittee and approved by DWR staff. This evaluation should include
vertical profiles of salinity/conductivity measurements at both high tide and low tide over several 24
hour cycles.
2. Three consecutive "side -by -side" tests with results indicating that the alternate test organism is as or
more sensitive to the facility's effluent. Each test series would consist of two separate toxicity tests
conducted on the same sample of effluent with the length of exposure specified by the permit, the
only difference between the tests being the organism used.
3. An alternate plan developed by the permittee and approved by the Aquatic Toxicology Unit that
demonstrates an equal level of protection is offered by the test organism.
For items 2 and 3, it must also be demonstrated that viable and standardized culture techniques are available
for that organism and standardized testing methodologies have been developed and validated. This
demonstration should meet guidance provided by EPA in Section 6 of EPA-821-R-02-012, Short Term Methods
for Estimating the Acute Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Freshwater Organisms. Fifth Edition,
2002. Requests to use a different test organism and supporting documentation should be sent to NC DWR,
WSS at the address listed above.
A. (3.) ADDITIONAL EFFLUENT TESTING AND REOPENER
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
The Division of Water Quality may request further effluent characteristic evaluation by means of a written
request stating the type of analysis, a due date, and the reason for the analysis. If the analysis indicates the
applicable Effluent Guidelines or Water Quality Standards were exceeded, then the permit can be reopened
and the appropriate limits added. In the event of a new limit being added, upon request from the permittee a
compliance timetable will be established.
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 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.)
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)
• Section E. (5.)

Permit NC0088811
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)]
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit, 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 / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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 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
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)]
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
