Dear Mr. Church:
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) hereby issues the attached NPDES permit for the
subject facility. 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.
We have made the following updates to your previous permit:
➢ Section A. (2) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data. Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs), effective
December 21, 2016.
➢ Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
➢ An updated outfall map has been included.
➢ Coordinates for the outfall location have been updated.
We have made the following updates since the draft permit:
➢ The total residual chlorine limit has been changed to 17 mg/L since the facility discharges
into trout waters.
➢ Owner and facility name has been updated on the outfall map and permit to reflect the
information included on the NPDES renewal application.
Starting on December 21, 2016, 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 final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21, 2015.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final
NPDES permit. [See A. (2)] For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an

electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for

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,

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. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
