Subject: Modification of Permit No. NCC000001
Neuse River Compliance Association
The Division has reviewed the Neuse River Compliance Association's September 29, 2021,
request for modification of its NPDES permit and its December 7, 2021, additional request and
is forwarding herewith the revised permit. This minor permit modification 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.
The modified permit includes the following changes to Appendix A, which become effective
January 1, 2022:
• Snow Hill. The Town of Snow Hill (NC0020842) has been added as a new co-permittee
member, with an active estuary allocation of 2,816 lb/yr;
• Clayton. The holdings of the Town of Clayton (NC0025453) have been revised to
include 13,000 lb/yr TN of estuary allocation purchased from the International Paper
New Bern Mill (NC0003191) and 15,908 lb/yr TN of estuary offset credits purchased
from Restoration Systems' Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank; both allocations are held in
reserve pending expansion of the facility;
• Raleigh. The holdings of the City of Raleigh (NC0029033) have been revised to include
13,000 lb/yr TN estuary allocation purchased from the International Paper New Bern
Mill (NC0003191); and
• Johnston County. The holdings of Johnston County (NC0030716) have been revised to
include 1,000 lb/yr TN estuary allocation purchased from Phillips Plating (NC0001881).
With these revisions, the Association's Estuary TN Limit increases to 1,214,838 lb/yr, effective
January 1, 2022.
All other terms and conditions of the December 30, 2019, permit remain in full effect.
If any parts of this permit modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this
letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center,
DECV)

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 (WQBELs1: 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

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 (2,2821b/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 24,4001b/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.

Permit No. NCC000001
PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A - APPLICABILITY OF PARTS II AND III
Parts II and III of this permit contain standard conditions that apply specifically to individual permittees
that own or operate a treatment facility. These (or similar) conditions are routinely found in North
Carolina's NPDES wastewater permits, including those of the Neuse River Compliance Association's co-
permittee members. The conditions do not necessarily apply to the Association or its members within the
context of this group permit. The group permit includes those standard conditions that apply here at least in
part. For the purposes of determining compliance with this permit, these conditions shall be read with the
following understanding:
a. The Neuse River Compliance Association serves as a governing body for its Members. It neither owns
nor operates treatment facilities. Consequently, the standard conditions in Parts II and III of this permit
which by their terms or meaning regulate a permittee that owns or operates a treatment facility, or
which are inconsistent with the Special Conditions in Part I of this permit, shall neither be applicable to
nor enforceable against the Association.
b. Each of the Co-Permittee Members governed by this Association permit owns or operates one or more
treatment facilities. Each holds an individual NPDES permit for each facility and remains subject to the
standard conditions in its permit(s). Consequently, the standard conditions in this Association permit
shall neither be applicable to nor enforceable against the individual Co-Permittee Members under this
group permit unless such is clearly consistent with the construction of the permit.
c. Wherever a standard condition in this Association permit is by its terms or meaning applicable to the
Association or to the membership in its entirety, and it refers to "the permittee," it shall be construed to
mean the Association and its Co-Permittee Members.
SECTION B - DEFINITIONS
1. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
2. DWR or "the Division"
The Division of Water Resources, Department of Environment Quality.
3. EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. EPA
The United States Environmental Protection Agency.
5. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Resources.

Permit No. NCC000001
SECTION C - GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Duty to Comply
The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a
violation of the CWA and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, revocation and
reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application [40 CFR 122.41].
a. The Permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section 307(a)
of the CWA for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or disposal established
under section 405(d) of the CWA within the time provided in the regulations that establish these
standards or prohibitions or standards for sewage sludge use or disposal, even if the permit has not
yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.
b. The CWA provides that any person who violates section[s] 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 318 or 405 of the
Act, or any permit condition or limitation implementing any such sections in a permit issued under
section 402, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved under sections
402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8) of the Act, is subject to a civil penalty not to exceed $37,500 per day for each
violation. [33 USC 1319(d) and 40 CFR 122.41(a)(2)]
c. The CWA provides that any person who negligently violates sections 301, 302, 306, 307, 308, 318, or
405 of the Act, or any condition or limitation implementing any of such sections in a permit issued
under section 402 of the Act, or any requirement imposed in a pretreatment program approved
under section 402(a)(3) or 402(b)(8) of the Act, is subject to criminal penalties of $2,500 to $25,000 per
day of violation, or imprisonment of not more than 1 year, or both. In the case of a second or
subsequent conviction for a negligent violation, a person shall be subject to criminal penalties of not
more than $50,000 per day of violation, or by imprisonment of not more than 2 years, or both. [33
USC 1319(c)(1) and 40 CFR 122.41(a)(2)]
d. Any person who knowingly violates such sections, or such conditions or limitations is subject to
criminal penalties of $5,000 to $50,000 per day of violation, or imprisonment for not more than 3
years, or both. In the case of a second or subsequent conviction for a knowing violation, a person

EQ-4 NPDES Fact Sheet - Addendum
DNeuse River Compliance Association (NRCA)
NCC000001, Minor Modification
December 21, 2021
1. SCOPE
This Fact Sheet addendum is limited to the scope of the minor permit modification described
below. For additional information regarding the facility and other requirements of its permit, refer
to the December 12, 2018, Fact Sheet.
2. PERMIT ACTION
By its letter of September 29, 2021, and email of December 7, 2021, the Neuse River Compliance
Association (NRCA) requested modification of its group permit to reflect the addition of a new
member and several purchases of estuary Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation and offset credits by
certain existing members, and to revise the Association's Estuary TN Limit accordingly.
The Division reviewed the requests and supporting materials and is modifying the group permit as
requested. By agreement with EPA Region 4, this is a minor modification of the permit. The specific
changes are provided below and are included in the version of Appendix A of the permit.
3. PERMIT REVISIONS - MEMBERSHIP, NITROGEN HOLDINGS, ESTUARY TN LIMITS
The modified permit includes the following changes to Appendix A, which become effective
January 1, 2022:
• Snow Hill. The Town of Snow Hill (NC0020842) has been added as a new co-permittee
member, with an active estuary allocation of 2,816 lb/yr;
• Clayton. The holdings of the Town of Clayton (NC0025453) have been revised to include
13,000 lb/yr TN of estuary allocation purchased from the International Paper New Bern Mill
(NC0003191) and 15,908 lb/yr TN of estuary offset credits purchased from Restoration
Systems' Flat Swamp Mitigation Bank; both allocations are held in reserve pending
expansion of the facility;
• Raleigh. The holdings of the City of Raleigh (NC0029033) have been revised to include
13,000 lb/yr TN estuary allocation purchased from the International Paper New Bern Mill
(NC0003191); and
• Johnston County. The holdings of Johnston County (NC0030716) have been revised to
include 1,000 lb/yr TN estuary allocation purchased from Phillips Plating (NC0001881).
No change was required to Snow Hill's permit for its admission to the Association.
The Town of Clayton permit was modified September 15, 2020, and January 15, 2021, to reflect its
purchase of offset credits and TN allocation, respectively. Raleigh's Neuse River permit was
modified December 13, 2021, and Johnston County's permit was modified May 21, 2021, to reflect
their respective purchases. The permits note that the changes in all three facilities' TN holdings
become effective January 1, 2022; however, because the facilities are co-permittee members of the
NRCA, they are deemed to be in compliance with those limits. Instead, the facilities will continue to
be subject to the limits in Appendix A of the NRCA permit. This permit modification reflects their
revised TN holdings, and the resulting limits become effective January 1, 2022.
Raleigh's and Johnston County's increased holdings result in increases in the TN Load limits for
their individual facilities and in the Association's collective limit. Clayton's added allocation and

FACT SHEET - Addendum Neuse River Compliance Association (NRCA)
NPDES Permit - Minor Modification NPDES No. NCC000001
credits are held in reserve, pending expansion (per Rule 02B .0713(8)(d)), and do not affect the
Town's or the Association's TN limits.
With these revisions, the Association's holdings and its Estuary TN Limit increases as follows,
effective January 1, 2022:
Association Estuary TN Limit 1,214,838 lb/yr
Reserve Estuary Allowance 64,881 lb/yr
Total Estuary Allowance 1,279,719 lb/yr
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.
All other terms and conditions of the December 30, 2019, group permit remain in full effect.
4. PUBLIC NOTICE SCHEDULE
With the consent of EPA Region 4, changes in TN holdings that have undergone public review in
the course of modification of individual NPDES permits are not required to undergo a second
public process. Thus, this permit action is taken as a minor permit modification. No public notice is
required.
5. DIVISION/ STAFF CONTACT
Questions regarding the above information can be directed to Mike Templeton at
[e-mail] or [phone].
