Renewal Summary - This permit reflects discharge at Outfall 001. DWR updated the following: • updated footnote 1 in Section A. (1.): The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. See Special Condition A. (3.). • Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3-N) Limits and Monitoring - In the current permit you monitor weekly for NH3-N and have and have effluent limits in place for summer and winter months. Your previous Winter ammonia limits for Phase I were a weekly average of 35 mg/L and a monthly average of 17 mg/L. Recent review by Division staff has noted that 15A NCAC 2B .0404(c) requires that winter waste load allocations for oxygen consuming waste be no less stringent than 2 times the summer waste load limit. To meet this rule requirement, winter limits for NH3-N must also be adjusted in the permit. The new winter ammonia limits based on current EPA criteria are 35.0 mg/L weekly average and 12.0 mg/L monthly average. Likewise, Phase II winter limits have been adjusted to 22.8 mg/L weekly average and 7.6 mg/L monthly average. • updated Special Condition A. (3.) for electronic reporting of monitoring reports Stream - Discharge from Newland WWTP for outfall 001 is into North Toe River [Stream Segment 7-2- (0.5)] classified WS-IV; Tr waters. The segment 7-2-(0.5) is not listed in the 2018 303(d). The stream segment was corrected from 7-2-(21.5) by GIS mapping (Figure 1) during the 2016 renewal. It seems that the permittee has not updated their application, and accidentally included the old stream segment.
