(2) In joining the NRCA,CWS Systems,Inc.agreed to lease 1,000 lb/yr estuary TN for 2013 and 2014.The leased amount is part of the 24,400 lb/yr Burlington Industries allocation.Allocation leased to CWS Systems,Inc.and others shall not exceed the Burlington Industries allocation. (3) Progress Energy's Lee Steam Plant is allowed a baseline TN load of 3,260 lb/yr at its Outfall 001(2,282 lb/yr at the estuary).Progress has leased additional allocation from the NRCA to ensure coverage for TN discharges from its new Rotamix system from 2009 through 2013.The allocations listed in this table and the amounts to be reported by Progress under this permit pertain strictly to any load in excess of the baseline allowance.The table does not reflect the lease amount(9,000 lb/yr for 2009),in part because the amount of the lease will vary from year to year.Allocation leased to Progress Energy and others shall not exceed the 24,400 lb/yr available in the Burlington Industries allocation. (4) Allocation purchased and held in reserve for future use by the co-permittee member. • Effective:January 1,2013. ATM Fact Sheet - NPDES Permit NCDENR Neuse River Compliance Association NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NPDES No. NCC000001 ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Addendum - CY2013 Modification - Final PERMIT ACTION By its letter of November 6,2012,the Neuse River Compliance Association requested modification of its NPDES permit to reflect(1)the addition of one co-permittee member and(2)one transfer of nitrogen allocation between two members.The Division agreed with the request and issued the modification on December 12,2012,to become effective on January 1,2013.The revisions affect only the permit cover page(issuance date)and Appendix A of the permit.The permit's expiration date remains at December 31,2013. SUMMARY OF CHANGES The revised Appendix A reflects the following changes for calendar year 2013: • Addition of the CWS Systems,Inc.,Fairfield Harbour WWTP as a co-permittee member with a base estuary allocation of 11,263 lb/yr and a transport factor of 100%. • The transfer of 2,445 lb/yr TN from SGWASA(NC0026824)to the City of Raleigh Neuse River WWTP(NC0029033). • Recalculation of the Association's Estuary TN Limit in light of the above changes. CWS Systems,Inc.agreed to lease 1,000 lb/yr TN from the NRCA for two years as a condition of its membership.At the Association's request,and consistent with the handling of Progress Energy's lease (up to 9,0001b/yr),the value is entered as zero in Appendix A.The one caveat is that the two leases cannot exceed the 24,400 lb/yr allocation held by the NRCA.Given the surplus allocation generated by the Association,this will have no impact on its compliance with the permit. With these changes,the Association's Estuary TN Allocation increases from 1,184,165 lb/yr to 1,195,428 lb/yr effective January 1,2013. ---end of fact sheet addendum--- 12/23/2010
