Dear Mr. Roberts:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR of the Division) has approved your application to renew the
subject permit. Accordingly, we hereby forward the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
Changes for Renewal - Changes to the Permit Draft. The Division updated your permit in accord with
permitting strategies (amended in 2009) for potable water treatment plants (WTPs) consistent with
similar permits statewide. We have also has updated your facility description and site map, adding
parameter codes to permit Section A. (1.) for your convenience. For the final, we have removed
monitoring for Total Copper inadvertently included in the permit draft. Please note that monitoring for
Total Fluoride and Total Zinc is required only if these additives are included in finish -water used to
backwash filters, thereby creating their potential to concentrate in the wastestream [see Footnote 4,
Section A (1.)].
Implementing Electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). Please be advised that the Division
will implement an electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) program, in accord with pending
requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We have included the details required
to implement the eDMR program in this permit [see permit Special Condition A. (2.)] .
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all DMRs and specify that, if North
Carolina does not establish a program to receive such submittals, Permittees must then submit eDMRs
directly to EPA. For more information on eDMRs, registering for eDMR submittal, and obtaining an
eDMR user account, please visit DWR's webpage:

discharge Monitoring Reports electronically using NCDWR's eDMR application system, or
apply for a waiver [See Special Condition A. (2.)].
2. The Division shall consider compliant all TRC effluent values reported below 50µg/L. However,
the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values detected by North Carolina -certified
test methods (including field certified), even if these values fall below 50µg/L.
3. Discharge from this facility shall not cause receiving -stream turbidity to exceed 50 NTU. If
instream background conditions exceed 50 NTU, this discharge shall not cause instream turbidity
to increase.
4. Monitoring required only if this parameter is added to finish -water used as filter -backwash,
thereby creating its potential to concentrate in the wastestream.
A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING - DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
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 (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and will begin implementing this program in 2013.

Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
Beginning on January 1, 2015 (no later than 270 days from the permit effective date), the Permittee
shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NCDWR'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,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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
mailing address above.
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://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
Page 4 of 5
NPDES Permit NC0088536
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 Requirements 'Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(a), or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(b). A person, not an assigned 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
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North
Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit
the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr

the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,
the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I
am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the
possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations."
3. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)1
The Permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR submissions. These
records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the report. This period

Facility Summary / Renewal Strategy — This WTP employs greensand filter technology to generate
potable water at a rate of 0.005472 MGD while generating wastewater (filter -backwash) at a rate
consistently reported as 0.0008 MGD for discharge to Waters of the State. According to the application,
this facility does not add fluoride or zinc orthophosphate (corrosion inhibitor). Therefore, monitoring in
accord with WTP strategy shall be required only if Fluoride and Zinc are added to finish -water used as
filter -backwash, thereby creating their potential to concentrate in the wastewater [see added Footnote 4,
Section A (1.)].
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Testing_— In accord with current WTP renewal strategy (revised 2009),
WET testing is not required of facilities employing greensand filter technology. No changes to the
permit.
Summary of Renewal Changes:
1. By January 1, 2015 (within 270-days of the permit effective date), the Permittee shall begin
electronic submittal of monthly DMRs (eDMRs), or apply for a variance.
2. Updated facility description [Supplement to Cover Sheet] and Vicinity Map.
3. Added parameter codes to table, Section A. (1.).
4. Discontinued in BIMS monitoring for Fluoride and Zinc [appears in permit as "only if."].
