A. (2.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program
reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December
21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
Permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.)
• Section D. (2.)
• Section D. (6.)
• Section E. (5.)
Signatory Requirements
Reporting
Records Retention
Monitoring Reports
1. Renortine Reauirements [Supersedes Section D (2) and Section E. (5) (a)l
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data 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 each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows 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, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
Page 4 of 6

Permit NCO023086
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.410)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time
of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the
initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for
each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the
appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at: http://www2 epa gov/compliance/final-national pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reaortin¢
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to
the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to
the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be
required under this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a
temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data
and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is
granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting
waivers are not transferable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may
submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved
reporting waiver request is effective.

Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on
the following web page:

4. Simatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) & Supersedes Section B. (11.)
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part 11,
Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B. (I 1.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North
Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit

am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the
possibility offines and imprisonment for knowing violations. "
5. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)]
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR
submissions. These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the
date of the report. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR
122.41].

RE: Fontana Village Water Treatment Plant Replacement (ARC Grant # NC-16314,
Rural Center Grant # 2009-174-40101-102)
Dear Mr. Newhouse, Ms. Collier, Mr. Crews, and Mr. McMullan:
MAR 2 4 ?014
In taking over the project to build a new water treatment plant to serve the Fontana
Community, the Town of Fontana Dam has taken ownership of the existing water plant, and
assumed the role of applicant for the Rural Center and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC)
grants, as well as the DWSRF loan through the INC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR). At this time, the Town has completed the transfer of the ARC grant from
Graham County to the Town, and reapplied for the DWSRF loan through NCDENR. The Town is

currently still awaiting LGC approval of the Town assuming the debt obligation presented by the
DWSRF loan.
Having been before the LGC for over a year, the Town had hoped to have an answer before
now. However, additional requirements have been set forth by the LGC that the Town must
meet in order to obtain their approval. The Town has been diligently working to meet those
requirements, and we ask for your patience as we continue to work towards the goal of
constructing a new water plant. Once the LGC approves the loan, then all other funds can be
deemed secured, which will then allow the Town to complete the necessary requirements set
forth by the Rural Center to have that grant transferred to the Town.
Please accept this letter as a formal request by the Town, asking that NCDENR, the ARC, and the
Rural Center continue to retain the funds committed to this project. We understand that the
transitions underway at the State level could cause unassigned funds to be incorporated back
into the State's General Fund, and we are hereby requesting that the funds associated with this
project not be transferred to the NC General Fund as unassigned funds.
Thank you for your assistance, and if there is anything else you might require from the Town of
Fontana Dam, please feel free to contact me at any time.
