PART I
Specific Conditions
1. Discharge Permit Basic Information
Control Authority: Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
Receiving Wastewater Treatment Plant: James A. Loughlin WWTP
NPDES Permit: NC0023965
Industrial Discharge Permit Number: N2012A
Federal Category: 40 CFR 437
Permit Effective Date: July 1, 2020
Permit Expiration Date: June 30, 2025
2. Discharge Permit History
January 15, 2013: This is the first permit issued to this industrial user. The permittee provides waste clean-up,
remediation, recovery, spill response, and similar waste management services. The permittee originally submitted an
application for the discharge of wastewater from the recovery of wastewater as categorized in 40 CFR 437 Sub -part 8,
Oils Treatment and Recovery. The permittee subsequently requested that the scope of the permit be expanded to
include recovery of wastewater as categorized in 40 CFR 437 Sub -part C, Organics Treatment and Recovery. The
permittee submitted the required equivalent treatment certification on June 20, 2012 dated May 31, 2012. The
permittee is planning to construct a treatment facility to treat wastewater when necessary to meet final effluent
limitations. This permit is issued in conformance with 40 CFR Part 437 Subpart D, multiple waste Streams. This permit
excludes the recovery of wastewater as categorized in 40 CFR 437 Sub -part A, Metals Treatment and Recovery.
October 31, 2013: This permit is modified to remove the chloride limit. Chloride was removed from the NC DWR
(formally DWQ) approved headworks analysis submitted by CFPUA to DWR in June 2012. The limit is replaced with a
monitoring requirement. Additionally, ambiguity in the previous version contributed to compliance issues. This
modification is being made to clarify sampling and monitoring requirements.
September 1, 2015 modification:
i. Wastewater accepted as defined in 40 CFR 437 subpart D may now include subpart A, Metals Treatment
and Recovery. New monitoring parameters were added as a result.
ii. After a thorough review of historical monitoring data and the receiving wastewater treatment plant's
current allocation table, the monitoring limits and/or sampling frequencies were modified for the
following parameters: Antimony, Arsenic, Ammonia, BOD, Cadmium, Cobalt, COD, Cyanide, Mercury,
Organics, Nickel, Silver, Tin, Titanium, Vanadium and Zinc.
iii. The "10-day apart" sampling requirement language was changed to "2 separate batches".
iv. The flow determination method was changed.
v. Added the option of electronic submittal of monitoring reports and changed the deadline of receiving the
monitoring reports from the 10th day to the 15th day of the month following the month in which the
samples were taken.
January 15, 2016 permit renewed. Indemnification was added to the Part III Special Conditions. Part 1 8.b was added
requiring that the documentation of the cleaning of transport tanks shall be maintained on site for the duration of this
permit.
June 12, 2017 permit was modified at the request of SR&R Environmental to allow them to receive leachate from Duke
Energy Progress Sutton Plant's lined coal ash landfill.
August 22, 2017 permit was modified removing the definition for Tank Composite and adding the definition for Tanker
Composite (Tanker C). The sample collection method for all parameters listed as Tank Composite was changed to Tanker
Composite. The discharge location was changed from the receiving station at the James A. Loughlin Wastewater
Treatment Plant to a manhole located at the Richardson Water Treatment Plant.
