Please note that 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

NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to this
final permit. [See Special Condition A. (3.)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and

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,

following address:
NC DENR/DWR/Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files/eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permit tee 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.
Page 4 of 6
Permit NC0028941
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://Vortal.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 Reguirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1

Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part U.
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

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
For
Aqua North Carolina, Inc.
No sludge will be treated on any wastewater treatment plant site operated
by Aqua N.C., Western Division
Where practical, sludge removed from a Aqua N.C., Western Division
facility will be transported via a contract hauler to another Aqua N.C.,
Western Division facility for the purpose of"seeding" a new or under
loaded plant.
Unusable (or "dead") sludge will be removed by a contract hauler and
properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract
haulers used by Aqua N.C., Western Division will be required to report the
quantity of sludge transported and identify the location of the proposed
disposal site if the sludge is not taken to an existing plant operated by Aqua
N.C., Western Division. Aqua N.C., Western Division has not entered into
any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not owned by
them.
Aqua N.C., Western Division will keep records on the quantity of sludge
removed from each facility, the name of the contract hauler, and the
destination of the sludge (whether used in another plant or disposed of).
The information will be kept on file and will be made available to any
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over sludge treatment or disposal.
Aqua N.C., Western Division includes all of the facilities under the
jurisdiction of the Mooresville Regional Office.
