ANNUAL NUTRIENT LIMITS - Jordan Lake [T15A NCAC 02B .0270] (a.) Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) allocations and load limits established under the Jordan Lake Nutrient Management Strategy for NPDES wastewater dischargers are annual values and apply on a calendar year basis. (The provisions of this special condition are limited to these annual limits and do not apply to seasonal limits established in the Robeson Creek TMDL.) (b.) For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit if: (i.) the Permittee's annual TN (or TP) Load is less than or equal to the effective limit, or (ii.) the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association.

If the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation. (d.) The TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the Permittee's allocations. (i.) Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN (or TP) allocation from an authorized mitigation banker, the Division of Mitigation Services, or other source allowed under applicable regulations; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. (ii.) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit to reflect allowable changes in its allocation(s). (A) Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements.

A.(9.) CALCULATION AND REPORTING OF NUTRIENT LOADS [G.S. 143-215.1 (b)] The Permittee shall calculate and report monthly and annual nutrient loads as follows: (a.) Calculation of Discharge Loads (Outfalls 001A, 001B and 002): The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual discharge loads for each outfall as follows: (i.) Monthly Discharge Load (lb/mo, TN or TP) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34 where: TN (or TP) = the average Total Nitrogen (or Total Phosphorus) concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/mo) 8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds (ii.) Annual Discharge Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for the calendar year (b.) Calculation of Delivered Loads (Outfalls CO1 and CO2): The Permittee shall calculate annual delivered loads as follows: (i.) Individual Outfalls 001A, 001B & 002: Annual Delivered Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Annual Discharge Load (lb/yr) x TF where TF = Transport Factor for each outfall, as specified in Condition A.(5.), Nutrient Allocations and Limits. (ii.) Combined Outfall C01: Annual Delivered Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Sum of the Outfalls 001A & 001B Annual Delivered TN (or TP) Loads for the calendar year (iii.) Combined Outfall CO2: Annual Delivered Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Sum of the Outfalls 001A, 001B & 002 Annual Delivered TN (or TP) Loads for the calendar year (c.) Reporting of Nutrient Discharges: The Permittee shall report monthly TN and TP discharge loads for Outfalls 001 and 002 in the appropriate discharge monitoring report. (d.) Reporting of Combined Delivered Loads: The Permittee shall: (i.) report each calendar year's combined delivered TN and TP loads for Outfalls CO1 and CO2 with the December report for that year; (ii.) report each summer season's combined TP loads for Outfall C01 (April 1 - October 31) with the November report for that year; and (iii.) if requested by the Division, provide a summary of its calculations for these loads.
