(a.) Total Nitrogen (TN) , and Total Phosphorus (TP) allocations and load limits for NPDES
dischargers in the Jordan Lake watershed are annual limits and apply on a calendar year basis.
(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-Permittet Member of a compliance association. •
(c.) 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 Ecosystem Enhancement Program, 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.
The Permittee may request a modification of the TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit to

Permit NC0066966
A.(5.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN & TOTAL PHOSPHORUS LOADS
(a.) The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
(b.)
(i.)
Monthly TN (or TP) Load (pounds/month) = 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
Annual TN (or TP) Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for the
calendar year
The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus results (mg/L and
pounds/month) in the appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report
each calendar year's results (pounds/year) with the December report for that year.'
A.(6.) NITROGEN OPTIMIZATION
(a.) No later than six months following the Division's written acceptance of the report submitted by
the Permittee, or as provided in the acceptance, the Permittee shall implement the proposed
measures.
(b.) Beginning one year following the Division's acceptance of the report and continuing through
2016, the Permittee shall submit a progress report to the Division documenting the status of the
proposed measures and the nitrogen reductions achieved at the facility during the previous
calendar year.

and B-13 of this permit, the Director may reopen this permit to require supplemental nutrient
monitoring of the discharge. The purpose of the additional monitoring will be to support water
quality modeling efforts within the Cape Fear River Basin and shall be consistent with a monitoring
plan developed jointly by the Division and affected stakeholders. In addition, the results of water
quality modeling may require that limits for Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus be imposed in this
permit upon renewal.

Addendum: Sludge Mangement Plan
Quarterstone Farm WWTP
NPDES Permit NC 0066966
1) Sludge is generated from Quarterstone Farm WWTP through the activated sludge
process by routinely "wasting" activated sludge into an aerobic digester.
2) Sludge from aerobic digester is routinely allowed to settle by gravity and
supernatant is decanted from holding tank.
3) Thickened sludge is then removed by septic tank truck and manifest documents
are maintained to verify date of sludge removal, volume pumped, location of
approved facility (i.e. municipal WWTP) receiving sludge, and cost of sludge
hauling/disposal.
