Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCC000001
Neuse River Compliance Association
Dear Mr.Donnelly
In accordance with the application for discharge permit received on June 28,2002,and revised on
October 1,2002,the Division is forwarding herewith the NPDES permit for the new Neuse River
Compliance Association. 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 May 9,1994.
The Division invited comments on the draft permit and received comments from the Association
and from the USEPA,Region 4.The Division also received the Association's December 18 request to
revise the list of Co-Permittee Members in Appendix A.The final permit and fact sheet include
changes made in response to the comments and request.The most significant changes are
summarized below,and a more complete response is enclosed.
• Reference to Minor Permit Modifications. EPA commented that Condition A.(2.)(b.)(iv.)of the
draft permit,which refers to certain permit modifications as"minor,"is inconsistent with federal
NPDES regulations.The condition has been removed from the permit;however,as explained
below,we will still be able to handle certain types of allocation changes as minor modifications.
• Addition of Appendix B. EPA suggested that some allocation changes can be treated as minor
permit modifications if the permit includes a complete list of dischargers.Consequently,the
final permit contains a new Appendix B,which is a complete list of facilities that were assigned a
TN allocation under the State's nutrient management rule for wastewater dischargers in the
Neuse River Basin.The new appendix also specifies the aggregate TN allocation for these point
sources(1.6M lb/yr TN),as established in the State rule and in the approved TN TMDL for the
Neuse River estuary.
• Description of Applicability of Standard Permit Conditions. Both the Association and the EPA
commented on the applicability of standard NPDES permit conditions in the unique regulatory
setting found in this permit.The standard conditions in Parts II and III were developed for and
intended to apply to permittees that own or operate treatment facilities. The Association is a
governing body and neither owns nor operates any such facilities;and the Co-Permittees are
subject to the same conditions through their individual NPDES permits.Thus,many of the
conditions are not applicable.The final permit retains Parts II and III in their entirety. In
addition,it includes a new condition(at the beginning of Part II)which defines the applicability
and enforceability of these standard conditions.

Neuse River Compliance Association
• Revision of Appendix A. The Association's Board of Directors voted at its December meeting to
delay admission of the USMC Cherry Point Air Station.Subsequently,it requested that Cherry
• Point not be included initially as a Co-Permittee Member in this permit.The Division has
modified the roster and allocations table in Appendix A accordingly,with the understanding
that,if the issue is resolved,Cherry Point could be admitted as a Co-Permittee Member effective
as early as 2004.
Several other comments were significant but did not require changes in the permit.These pertained
to applicability of individual TN limits to the Co-Permittee Members,timeframes for modifying TN
limits,and linkage of individual permits with the Association permit.Please refer to the Response to
Comments for discussions of these.
The Division also wishes to acknowledge the Association's concern over changes in some of the
small dischargers'TN allocations.The Division submitted final nutrient rules to the Environmental
Management Commission at its October 2002 meeting and included a detailed list of each individual
TN allocation as defined under the rule.We also provided that reference list to the Association.To
the best of our knowledge,the list contains the correct allocations for every discharger in the Neuse
River basin.We will refer to this list when drafting NPDES permits and when modifying the TN
limits in those permits in response to regionalizations or other transactions.Please notify Mike
Templeton of the NPDES Unit if you would like to discuss this further or if you are aware of any
discrepancies in the list.
If any requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes,and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings,Post Office Drawer
27447,Raleigh,North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such a demand is made,this permit shall be final
and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Water
Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and reissuance of
the permit.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits that may be required by
the Division of Water Quality,the Division of Land Resources,the Coastal Area Management Act,or
any other Federal or local governmental permit.
If you have any questions concerning the draft permit,please call Mike Templeton at(919)733-5083,
extension 541,or by e-mail at [e-mail].

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A- APPLICABILITY OF PARTS II AND III
1. The permit conditions in Parts II and III of this permit are standard conditions in NPDES
wastewater permits in North Carolina.They are intended to apply specifically to individual
permittees that own or operate a treatment facility.Thus,many are not applicable to the Neuse
River Compliance Association and its Co-Permittee Members.They are included in this permit in
their entirety as a compilation of standard conditions.These conditions shall apply as follows:
a. The Neuse River Compliance Association serves as a governing body for its Members.It
neither owns nor operates any treatment facilities.Consequently,the standard conditions in
Parts II and III of this permit which by their terms or meaning assume the permittee 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. These shall
include the following,at a minimum: in Part II,Conditions B.5.-12. and Sections D and E;
and,in Part III,Sections A and B.However,consistent with the intent of state and federal
NPDES regulations,the Association must still summarize monitoring results on a Discharge
Monitoring Report form approved by the Director;and it must retain all monitoring records
for a period of at least three years.
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.
c. Wherever a standard condition in this Association permit is by its terms or meaning
applicable to the Association or to its entire membership in its entirety,and it refers to"the
permittee,"it shall be construed to read"the Association."
SECTION B- DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DWQ or"the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended,33 USC
1251,et.seq.
5. Mass/Day Measurements

Part II
Page 2 of 13
Permit No.NCC000001
a. The"monthly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such •
month.It is therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found
each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported.The limitation is identified as"Monthly Average"in Part I of the permit.
b. The"weekly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week(Sunday-Saturday)on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week.It is,therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights
of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported.This limitation is identified as"Weekly Average"in Part I of the
permit.
c. The"maximum daily discharge is the total mass(weight)of a pollutant discharged during a
calendar day.If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the"maximum daily discharge."This limitation is identified as"Daily
Maximum,"in Part I of the permit.
d. The"average annual discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured,divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year.It is,therefore,an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each
day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported.
This limitation is defined as"Annual Average"in Part I of the permit.
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The"average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured,divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such month(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values).The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or
in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean(weighted by flow value)of all the samples
collected during that calendar day.The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month.This
limitation is identified as"Monthly Average"under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit.
b. The"average weekly concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday)on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week(arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values).The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of
a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean(weighted by flow
value)of all the samples collected during that calendar day.The average weekly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar week.This limitation is identified as"Weekly Average"under"Other Limits"in Part
I of the permit.
c. The"maximum daily concentration"is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day.If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the"Maximum Daily Concentration".It is identified as"Daily
Maximum"under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit.
d. The"average annual concentration,"other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on

Part II
Page 3 of 13
Permit No.NCC000001
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such year(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration
values).The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or
in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean(weighted by flow value)of all the samples
collected during that calendar day.The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the
geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year.This limitation is
identified as"Annual Average"under"Other Limits"in Part I of the permit.
e. The"daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen)is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day.If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day,the sample is
considered to be the"daily average concentration"for the discharge.It is identified as"daily
average"in the text of Part I.
f. The"quarterly average concentration"is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter.It is identified as"Quarterly Average Limitation"in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods:January through March,
April through June,July through September,and October through December.
7. Other Measurements
a. Flow,(MGD):The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,averaged
monthly.It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the
calendar month.
b. An"instantaneous flow measurement"is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A"continuous flow measurement"is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility.Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or
for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection,or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point.Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use
of a flow recorder and totalizer,and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system,or
(3) a single,continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with(1)above,the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour,and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours.In such cases,effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention
time of the system in number of days.However,in no case may the time interval between
effluent grab samples be greater than six(6)hours nor the number of samples less than four
(4)during a 24 hour sampling period.

Part II
Page 4 of 13
Permit No.NCC000001
b. Grab Sample:Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes;the grab sample can be taken manually.Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
• a Arithmetic Mean:The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual
values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean:The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the
individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.The geometric mean is
equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values.For
purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of zero(0)shall be considered to be one(1).
c. Weighted by Flow Value:Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.
However,for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents
the calendar day may be used for sampling.
11. Hazardous Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the Clean Water Act.
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 Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action;for permit
termination,revocation and reissuance,or modification;or denial of a permit renewal application.
a. The permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section
307(a)of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or
disposal established under section 405(d)of the Clean Water Act 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 Clean Water Act provides that any person who violates a permit condition is subject to a
civil penalty not to exceed$25,000 per day for each violation.Any person who negligently
violates any permit condition is subject to criminal penalties of$2,500 to$25,000 per day of
violation,or imprisonment for not more than 1 year,or both.Any person who knowingly
violates permit conditions 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.Also,any person who violates a
permit condition may be assessed an administrative penalty not to exceed$10,000 per
violation with the maximum amount not to exceed$125,000. [Ref:Section 309 of the Federal
Act 33 U.S.C. 1319 and 40 CFR 122.41 (a)]
