Subject: DRAFT NPDES PERMIT NC0074772
Diamond Head WWTP
Grade II Biological WPCS [15A NCAC 08G .0302]
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Becker:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. This renewal included the
re-evaluation of metals limits based on a CORMIX model submitted by Aqua North Carolina Inc.
in January 2021.
Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and
requirements it contains.
This draft contains the following changes from the existing permit:
> Regulatory citations were added throughout the permit.
> The component list on the supplement to cover page was updated to include only one
aerator and one clarifier.
> The effluent table was split into two sections(A.(1.) and A.(2.))corresponding to the two
permitted flow phases.
➢ Limits for Copper,Fluoride, Chlorides, and Zinc were removed, since they did not
demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria.
Quarterly monitoring for these parameters will remain.
> The Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit(Quarterly)section(previously section A.(2.))
previously required Chronic wet testing without dilution credit(IWC=90%).The
appropriate dilution(now IWC=15%) has been applied(A. (3.)).
> Monthly effluent monitoring was added for Salinity, Conductivity,and Total Dissolved
Solids. Monitoring for these parameters is required for all facilities discharging treated
backwash from ion-exchange technology.
➢ The language in section A.(3.)has been updated to include methods for electronic
reporting of toxicity results.
➢ The language in section A.(6.)has been updated to be consistent with the finalization of
federal requirements for electronic reporting.
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.The latest version is available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online
or downloaded as a PDF file.

A. (6.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF 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:
