Dear Mr. Parks:

Subject: Modification of Permit No. NCC000001
Neuse River Compliance Association
Per the Association's request, please find attached a corrected copy of the permit modification issued
to the NRCA on December 21, 2021. The modification incorporated the several transfers of nitrogen
allocation and offset credits completed in 2021, and it correctly adjusted the Association's Estuary
TN Limit. However, it did not adjust the affected members' total holdings to reflect the transfers. The
attached copy includes those corrections and notes the recent renaming of Clayton's wastewater
facility.
The Association's Estuary TN Limit remains at 1,214,838 lb/yr TN.
If you have any questions concerning these corrections, please contact Mike Templeton at (919) 707-
3603 or at mike.templeton@ncdenr.gov.

PART I
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A.(1.) DEFINITIONS
(a.) Active TN Allocation: Allocation that is included in calculation of TN Load Limits. Allocation
held by a permittee is active by default but may be designated as reserve allocation by the
Division or at the request of the permittee. (See also Reserve TN Allocation.)
(b.) Allocation (or "TN Allocation"): (1) The mass quantity (as of TN) that a discharger or group of
dischargers (such as the Association) is potentially allowed to release to surface waters in
accordance with the Neuse River rule. TN Allocations may be expressed as Estuary TN Allocation
or as the equivalent Discharge TN Allocation; also as active or reserve allocation. (2) In practice,
the term can refer to a permittee's or group's allocation as a whole or to some lesser quantity.
(c.) Association: The Neuse River Compliance Association, a not -for -profit corporation comprised of
NPDES-permitted dischargers in the Neuse River Basin; established voluntarily under the Neuse
Wastewater rule to meet the aggregate Estuary TN Allocation of its Co-Permittee Members.
(d.) Co-Permittee Members: Those NPDES dischargers that for a given calendar year are members of
the Association and are listed in Appendix A of this permit.
(e.) Discharge TN Allocation: TN Allocation specified as applying at the point of discharge (or "end -
of -pipe").
(f.) Discharge TN Load: Actual TN Load measured at a Co-Permittee Member's point of discharge
(or "end -of -pipe").
(g.) Estuary: The Neuse River estuary, which extends from approximately Streets Ferry to the
Pamlico Sound.
(h.) Estuary TN Allocation: TN Allocation specified as applying at the estuary. A Co-Permittee
Member's Estuary TN Allocation is equivalent to its Discharge TN Allocation multiplied by the
applicable Transport Factor.
(i.) Estuary TN Limitation: The sum of active TN allocations held by the Association and its Co-
Permittee Members (group limit) or a Co-Permittee Member (individual limits), as listed in
Appendix A of this permit.
(j.) Estuary TN Load: TN Load estimated to be delivered to the estuary. A Co-Permittee Member's
Estuary TN Load is equivalent to its Discharge TN Load multiplied by the applicable Transport
Factor.
(k.) Limitation (or "TN Limit(ation)" or "TN Load Limit(ation)"): The mass quantity of TN specified
in an NPDES permit as the maximum that an individual discharger or group of dischargers is
authorized to discharge to surface waters. The TN Limitation is the sum of active allocations held
by an individual Co-Permittee Member (in the case of individual limitations) or held in the
aggregate by the Association and its Co-Permittee Members (in the case of the group limitation).
For the purposes of this permit, TN Load Limits are expressed in terms of Estuary TN Load.
(1.) Load (or "TN Load"): The actual mass quantity (as of TN) that a discharger or group of
dischargers releases into surface waters of the Neuse River Basin. TN Loads may be expressed as
Discharge TN Load or as the equivalent Estuary TN Load.
(m.) Neuse Wastewater Rule: The Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy:
Wastewater Discharge Requirements rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234)
(n.) Regionalization: The consolidation of wastewater collection and/or treatment systems that
results in the elimination of one or more NPDES-permitted discharges.
(o.) Reserve TN Allocation: Allocation that is not included in calculation of TN Limits. The Division
may designate allocation as reserve when water quality -based limits established to prevent
(p.)
(q.)
Permit No. NCC000001
Part I, Page 2 of 5
localized impacts render that allocation inactive; when treatment of the allocation as active would
be inconsistent with the Neuse Wastewater rule. (See also Active TN Allocation.)
Total Maximum Daily Load (of TMDL): (1) Generally, the allowable load of a pollutant that can
be discharged to a water body without causing loss of that water's designated uses. (2) In the
context of this permit, refers to Phase II of the Total Maximum Daily Load for Total Nitrogen to the
Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on
March 19, 2002, and subsequent revisions approved by the EPA.
Total Nitrogen (TN): The sum of the organic, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia species of nitrogen in
a water or wastewater.
(r.) Transport Factor: Fraction of the TN in a discharge that is predicted to reach the estuary, as
determined by the Division.
(s.) Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs): Limitations calculated specifically to
ensure that a discharge does not cause an exceedance of water quality standards either in the
vicinity of the discharge or further downstream. In the context of this permit, applies only to
Total Nitrogen.
A.(2.) CO-PERMITTEES AND TN ALLOCATIONS
(a.) Co-Permittees to this permit shall be the Neuse River Compliance Association (the "Association")
and each of its Co-Permittee Members. The Co-Permittee Members, the Transport Factors
assigned to each, the Members' individual TN allocations, and the Association Estuary TN
Allocation shall be as listed in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated into this permit in its
entirety.
(b.) Upon timely and proper notification by the Association as described elsewhere in this permit, the
Division shall revise Appendix A to incorporate changes in Association membership, allowable
changes in TN Allocations, or reapportionment by the Association.
(i.)
Changes in membership.
(A) Enrollment. In the event that a discharger is admitted to the Association, the Division
shall add the discharger and its TN Allocation to Appendix A as a Co-Permittee
Member and adjust the Association's Estuary TN Allocation accordingly.
(B) Termination. In the event that a Co-Permittee Member's membership is terminated,
the Division shall delete the departing Member and its TN Allocation from Appendix
A and adjust the Association's Estuary TN Allocation accordingly.
(ii.) For the purposes of this permit, allowable changes in TN Allocations include those resulting
from purchase of allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund or other authorized source;
purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation among the Association, its members, and non-
member dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division.
(iii.) The Association and its Co-Permittee Members may reapportion their TN Allocations
among themselves; however, the Division shall only incorporate the corresponding changes
into Appendix A when specifically requested in writing by the Association and after such
changes have been incorporated into the affected individual permits.
(c.) For the purposes of this permit, Association membership, individual or Association TN
Allocations and associated limits, and allocation status (active or reserve) are effective on a
calendar year basis, and any changes shall become effective no sooner than January 1 of the
following calendar year.
A.(3.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS
(a.) Beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting no later than the expiration date, the Co-
Permittees are authorized to discharge Total Nitrogen (TN) from the treatment facilities listed in
Appendix A subject to the following effluent limitations.
Permit No. NCC000001
Part I, Page 3 of 5
Association TN Limitation. In any calendar year, the Association's Estuary TN Load shall
not exceed its Estuary TN Limitation as specified in Appendix A.
Association TN Limitation: For any calendar year,
Association Estuary TN Load < Association Estuary TN Limitation
where
Association Estuary TN Load (or Limitation) = Sum of Estuary TN Loads (or Limitations)
for All Co-Permittee Members and the
Association
(ii.) Co-Permittee Member TN Limitations. In any calendar year, a Co-Permittee Member shall
be in compliance with its Estuary TN Limitation in Appendix A if:
(A) the Association Estuary TN Load complies with the Association Estuary TN
Limitation in Appendix A, or
(B) in the event that the Association Estuary TN Load exceeds its Estuary TN Limitation,
the Co-Permittee Member's Estuary TN Load does not exceed that Member's Estuary
TN Limitation in Appendix A.
(b.) Individual WQBELs: If the Division determines that a Co-Permittee Member's TN discharge has
reasonable potential to cause localized water quality impacts, it may determine an individual
water quality -based TN Limit for the Member pursuant to Neuse rule (specifically, T15A NCAC
02B .0234(6)(c), (7)(g), and (8)(h)). The Division will then propose to incorporate the new limit into
the Member's individual NPDES permit and this group permit according to standard permitting
procedures. Once the individual WQBEL becomes effective in this group permit, the Member is
subject to the new limit in lieu of the Association TN Limit. If a Member's individual WQBEL is
less than its active TN allocation, the difference is designated as reserve allocation.
(c.) Other Individual Limitations. In the event that a Co-Permittee Member's membership in the
Association is terminated, the departing Member shall no longer be eligible for coverage under
this permit and shall become subject to the TN limitation set forth in its individual NPDES
permit.
(i.) Termination of co-permittee status and re -imposition of a discharger's individual TN
limitation shall become effective only at the beginning of a calendar year (January 1).
(ii.) The Association shall notify the Division if it determines that any Member will depart at the
end of a calendar year and shall provide an accounting of all allowable changes in the
Member's TN Allocation since the most recent issuance of the departing Member's
individual NPDES permit.
(iii.) Upon receipt of the notification and accounting described above, the Division shall modify
the TN limitation in the departing Member's individual NPDES permit as necessary,
effective January 1 of the succeeding year, to reflect all allowable changes in the outgoing
Member's TN Allocation and shall also modify Appendix A of this permit accordingly.
A.(4.) MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
(a.) Each Co-Permittee Member shall continue to monitor its discharge(s) and report the results to the
Division as specified in its individual NPDES permit.
(b.) The Association shall assemble the results of its Co-Permittee Members and report the combined
results to the Division as specified in Condition A.(5.), below.
Permit No. NCC000001
Part I, Page 4 of 5

Association shall request modification of this permit to reflect changes in membership or TN
allocations to become effective in the following calendar year. The Association may revise its
request through its Mid -Year Report or other proper written notification.
(c.) Mid -Year Report. No later than September 30 of each year, the Association shall submit a mid-
year report to the Division. The report shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
(i.) for the period beginning July 1 of the preceding year and ending June 30 of the current year,
a report, for informational purposes only, of each Co-Permittee Member's Discharge and
Estuary TN Loads and the Association's Estuary TN Load; this requirement is waived if the
Association's Estuary TN Load for the previous calendar year was less than 80 percent of
the TN Limitation in that year; and
(ii.) notification of any further changes in Association membership or TN Allocations to become
effective in the following calendar year.
(d.) Year -End Report. No later than March 31 of each year, the Association shall submit a year-end
report to the Division. The report shall include, at a minimum, the following information for the
previous calendar year:
(i.) for the period from January 1 through December 31 of the preceding year, a report of each
Co-Permittee Member's Discharge and Estuary TN Loads and the Association's Estuary TN

Footnotes:
1. Craven County is currently leasing Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation from other NRCA members until a determination is made as to the allocation needed for its discharge.
2. Duke Energy's Lee Steam Electric Plant is allowed a baseline TN load of 3,260 lb/yr at its Outfall 001 (2,282 lb/yr at the estuary). Incremental loads above the
baseline allowance are subject to the Neuse Nutrient Strategy - Wastewater Discharge Requirements, 15A NCAC 02B .0713 (formerly .0234).
3. In 1999, Burlington Industries deeded its TN allocation (since adjusted to 24,400 lb/yr at the estuary) for use by the Association and its Co-Permittee Members. At present,
the allocation is a group holding assigned to this group permit and is not associated with any individual permit. Unless noted otherwise in this Appendix A, the entire
amount of the allocation is active and is included in the Association Estuary TN Allocation and Limit.
4. This allocation and offset credits have been purchased by the co-permittee member and will be held in reserve until activated. Activation must be consistent with the Neuse
River TMDL.
5. This allocation is being held in reserve by the co-permittee member. Due to the more stringent TN limit applied in the Falls Lake nutrient strategy, which became effective
with CY2016, this portion of the allocation is not available for the permittee's use for its existing discharge.
6. For the purposes of this permit, "Allowance" means the combination of TN allocations and nitrogen offset credits held by the Association and its Co-Permittee Members.

APPENDIX B
POINT SOURCE FACILITIES ASSIGNED TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS
NEUSE RIVER BASIN
The following is a list of all treatment facilities that, as holders of individual NPDES permits in 1995,
are assigned a Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation pursuant to state rule T15A NCAC 2B .0234, Neuse River
Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy - Wastewater Discharge Requirements, adopted
December 1997 and revised October 2002.
The rule establishes an aggregate Estuary TN Allocation of 1.64 million pounds TN per year for these
facilities and prescribes how the allocation is to be divided among the individual facilities. The
allocations, individual and aggregate, become effective with calendar year 2003.
The Total Maximum Daily Load for Total Nitrogen to the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, approved by
the USEPA Region 4 in July 1999, also concludes that this aggregate allocation is the maximum
allowable contribution from point source dischargers to the Neuse River estuary.
