This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and to the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15,2007. • The Division published notices in newspapers of general circulation in the affected counties, inviting public comments on the draft permit.We received comments from the Association and the USEPA's Region 4 staff during the 30-day review period. The following is a response to your comments and a summary of changes made as a result: • Goldsboro corrections. The final permit includes the correct name for Goldsboro's Wastewater Reclamation Facility. It also includes updated names for the Apex,North Cary, South Cary, and Kinston Regional WRFs. The discharge allocations in the City's individual NPDES permit are correct and now replace the values in the draft Appendix A. • Reserve allocations. The reserve allocations for SGWASA and the Town of Clayton were listed in the draft permit but inadvertently omitted in calculating the Association's Estuary TN Limit. The final limit includes these allocations. • Allocations for Town of Wilson. Since we discussed this at the NRCA's December 4 meeting, the Town requested a technical correction to its individual permit, on an unrelated matter. We were able to include the allocation for the one connection omitted earlier. As a result,Appendix A includes this connection transfer as part of Wilson's allocation. • Allocations for City of New Bern. As agreed, the Division will add the allocations for connected facilities as part of the City's 2009 permit renewal and then include them in the next modification of the group permit. • Progress Energy—Lee Steam Electric Plant. Although the Association has voted to lease 9,000 lb/yr of estuary allocation to Progress Energy, the final permit,as agreed,shows an allocation of zero for the facility. This is consistent with the handling of other leases internal to the Association and does not affect the Estuary TN Limit for the group. The final permit Division of Water Quality,Point Source Branch Telephone(919)733-7015 Non` 1617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 FAX(919)733-0719 prt hCarohCaroljina 512 N.Salisbury Street,Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 On the Internet at http://h2o.enrstate.nc.us/ An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer 1 Mr. Haywood Phthisic III,President Issuance of NPDES Permit NCC000001 December 31,2008 • • also includes a new footnote that explains the baseline allowance and use of the leased allocation for TN loads above the baseline. EPA's Region 4 staff raised several general questions about the permit and the workings of the Association. We addressed•those to their satisfaction,and they indicated they had no further comments. With the adjustments described above,the Association's Estuary TN Allocation for calendar year 2009 becomes 1,149,391 lb/yr. The combined estuary allocation for all affected point source discharges in the Neuse River basin remains at 1,640,000 lb/yr. 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.

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 1 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.

SECTION D- OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF POLLUTION CONTROLS 1. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A-44 of North Carolina General Statutes,and upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission,the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge(ORC)of the wastewater treatment facilities.Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission.The permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and any grade to comply with the conditions of Title 15A,Chapter 8A.0202.The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class II,III,and IV facility at least daily,excluding weekends and holidays,and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A,Chapter 8A.0202.Once the facility is classified,the permittee shall submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50% complete. 2. Proper Operation and Maintenance The permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control(and related appurtenances)which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit.Proper operation and maintenance also includes adequate laboratory controls and appropriate quality assurance procedures.This provision requires the operation of back-up or auxiliary facilities or similar systems which are installed by a permittee only when the operation is necessary to achieve compliance with the conditions of the permit. 3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense Part II Page 8 of 13 Permit No.NCC000001 It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this permit. 4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities a. Definitions (1) "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. (2) "Severe property damage"means substantial physical damage to property,damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass.Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. b. Bypass not exceeding limitations. The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be exceeded,but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c.and d.of this section. c. Notice (1) Anticipated bypass.If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass,it shall submit prior notice,if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass. (2) Unanticipated bypass.The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as required in Part II,F. 6.of this permit.(24 hour notice). d. Prohibition of Bypass (1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against a permittee for bypass,unless: (A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury or severe property damage; (B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass,such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime.This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;and (C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c.of this section. (2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass,after considering its adverse affects,if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three conditions listed above in Paragraph d.(1)of this section. 5. Upsets a. Definition. "Upset"means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee.An upset does not include noncompliance to the Part II Page 9 of 13 • Permit No.NCC000001 extent caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c.of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset,and before an action for noncompliance,is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; (2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated;and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II,F.6. (b)of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II,C.2.of this permit. d. Burden of proof. In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. 6. Removed Substances Solids,sludges,filter backwash,or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States.The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge.Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,any permit issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and modified,or revoked and reissued,to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503.The permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge(when promulgated)within the time provided in the regulation,even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement.The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices. 7.

The group made application on June 28,2007,and modified its application on July 25,2007,and October 6,2008. The Division found the Association's application to be acceptable and made a tentative determination to re-issue the permit,with changes.The Division provided a copy of the draft permit package to the permittee and to the Neuse Riverkeepers via email on November 14,2008,and published a notice of the draft permit in the principle newspaper for each county in the river basin beginning on November 16. The Division received comments from the permittee and considered those in preparing the final permit. We also the discussed the permit and the workings of the Association with USEPA Region 4 staff,after which they indicated they had no further comments. The permit was issued December 31,2008,effective January 1,2009,and expires December 31,2013. INTRODUCTION The Neuse River Basin is classified as Nutrient Sensitive Waters(NSW),due to long-term nutrient impacts on the river's estuary from point,nonpoint,and natural sources of pollution. In December 1997, the Environmental Management Commission adopted the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) Management Strategy,a rules package designed to address these nutrient impacts and restore water quality in the basin.The Strategy required that Total Nitrogen(TN)loads to the estuary (1995 baseline)be reduced by 30 percent by the year 2003. The basin has also been listed on the state's 303(d)list of impaired waters because of the nutrient impacts.The Division developed Total Nitrogen TMDLs for the basin,based upon the NSW Management Strategy,and the USEPA approved the TMDLs in 1999(Phase I)and 2002(Phase II).The 2000 303(d) list again includes the basin,now noting that the TMDLs have been approved and are being implemented. One portion of the NSW Management Strategy,the Wastewater Discharge Requirements rule(T15A NCAC 2B .0234),establishes specific nutrient control requirements for the point source dischargers in the basin. • The rule sets forth a system of Total Nitrogen allocations to achieve the stated 30 percent reduction in point source loads to the estuary.Toward this end,it: • sets a wasteload allocation of 1.64 million pounds TN per year(at the estuary)for all point source dischargers in the basin. • further divides this allocation among the existing dischargers. • requires that large facilities(those with permitted flows equal to or greater than 500,000 gallons per day)meet their individual TN allocations,effective in 2003. • prescribes what allocations are required for new and expanding dischargers as well as how they will be handled when permitted facilities consolidate(regionalize)their wastewater discharges. • provides that interested dischargers can form a group compliance association and work together to meet their combined TN allocation. Under this option,the individual FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES PERMIT-2008 Final NPDES No.NCC000001 dischargers are subject to TN limits in a group compliance NPDES permit in lieu of the TN limits in their individual NPDES permits. • The rule also prescribes Total Phosphorus limits for the most significant dischargers in the basin. The subject permit is a group compliance permit as described above. It first became effective January 1, 2003,and is the only such permit to be developed under the Strategy's Wastewater Discharge rule. PERMIT OVERVIEW Co-Permittees The Neuse River Compliance Association("NRCA," or the"Association")is a not-for-profit corporation established in North Carolina in 2002.The purpose of the Association is to function as a"group compliance association" as provided in the Wastewater Discharge rule. The Association's members include both public and private entities,all of which discharge treated wastewater in the Neuse River basin under existing individual NPDES permits. The Association and each of its members are co-permittees under the group permit. In general,the Association serves as the contact between the Division and its co-permittee members in matters pertaining to this permit. Scope of the Permit The group compliance permit governs the combined discharge of Total Nitrogen from the co-permittees to the estuary.Requirements in this permit supplement those in the co-permittee members'individual NPDES permits but do not replace the requirements in the individual permits except where specifically stated. Each member's individual NPDES permit remains in effect and continues to govern the other parameters of concern for that discharge. PROPOSED EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS The Division developed effluent limitations,monitoring requirements,and special conditions for the original group permit based on the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy,the approved TN TMDLs,and extensive deliberations with the USEPA Region 4 and with the affected dischargers.In subsequent years,the Division has modified Appendix A to reflect changes in membership and transfers of allocation to and among the members. The body of the proposed permit is unchanged from the original permit except for an updated address in Condition A.(6.).The draft Appendix A has again been revised to reflect changes in membership and transfers of allocation. Effluent Limitations Group and Individual TN Limitations Appendix A of the permit contains the definitive list of(1)Co-Permittee Members in the Association,(2) discharge and equivalent estuary TN allocations for each member,and(3)the transport factor for each. These values are taken from allocation method in the Wastewater Discharge rule. The appendix also includes the sum total of the member's estuary allocations,which represents the Association Estuary TN Allocation.All TN allocations are expressed in terms of pounds of TN per year and apply to a calendar year period. FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES PERMIT-2008 Final NPDES No.NCC000001 The permit establishes TN limits for the Association and,under certain conditions,for the individual co-permittee members.Any group or individual TN limit in this permit is equal to the corresponding estuary TN allocation in Appendix A. The Association is subject to a TN limit,equal to its Estuary TN Allocation,throughout the term of this permit. Individual members of the Association will be subject to individual TN limits only in those years in which the Association exceeds its limit.In that case,each co-permittee member is subject to its individual TN limit from Appendix A.If the Association as a whole complies with its limit,the member dischargers are not subject to individual limits for that calendar year. Changes in Membership or TN Allocations The TN allocations of the co-permittee members can change as the result of purchases,sales,trades, leases,and other transactions.These changes,in turn,affect the Association's TN allocation.Changes in membership also affect the Association's allocation due to the addition or subtraction of the discharger's allocation from the group total. Whenever changes in the allocations or the membership occur,Appendix A of the permit must be modified in order to formally incorporate those changes and adjust the enforceable limits in the permit. The TN allocations and limits are expressed as calendar year values;therefore,any adjustments can become effective only at the beginning of the calendar year(January 1)following the transaction or membership change.The Association will notify the Division each year of proposed changes in Appendix A(see Reporting Requirements,below). Co-Permittee Members The Association is currently comprised of the following co-permittee members and facilities: Co-Permittee Member Facility 1. Town of Apex Apex WRF 2. Town of Benson Benson WWTP 3. Town of Cary North Cary WRF South Cary WRF 4. Town of Clayton Little Creek WWTP 5. Contentnea MSD Contentnea MSD WWTP 6. Town of Farmville Farmville WWTP 7.

City of Raleigh Neuse River WWTP Town of Wake Forest Wake Forest WWTP Town of Zebulon Little Creek WWTP 16. SGWASA SGWASA WWTP 17. UNIFI/DuPont-Kinston UNIFI/DuPont WWTP 18. USMCAS Cherry Point Cherry Point WWTP 19. City of Wilson Wilson WWTP FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES PERMIT-2008 Final NPDES No.NCC000001 The TN allocation for each member is included in Appendix A of the permit.These allocations include the original allocation assigned to the facility in the Wastewater Discharge rule plus any allocation acquired through regionalization or other transactions. The Association also holds the TN allocation originally assigned to Burlington Industries(formerly NC0001376),which the industry deeded to the Association. As this permit is released for public review,Progress Energy is negotiating a lease of nitrogen allocation from the Association.The Division proposes to include any such lease under this permit if the Association documents that the lease is completed prior to the end of the public comment period.The transfer would then be reflected in Appendix A. Because the leased allocation comes from within the Association,the transaction will not affect the group's total TN allocation. Monitoring Requirements All members of the Association are required under the individual NPDES permits to monitor TN on a regular basis and report the results in their Discharge Monitoring Reports(DMRs).The group compliance permit does not duplicate these monitoring requirements or require additional TN monitoring. Instream monitoring is not required under this permit. However,it is required of the co-permittee members through their individual NPDES permits and,for most,is conducted by the Lower Neuse Basin Association,a coalition of dischargers that,by agreement with the Division,conducts instream monitoring for its members. Reporting Requirements Each member will continue to report its TN monitoring results on its individual DMRs.The Association is not required to duplicate these detailed reports. The Association will submit year-end,mid-year,and 5-year reports on its activities to the Division.The year-end report(due February 28 of each year)will include an accounting of the Association's and its members'TN discharges for the previous calendar year for compliance purposes.It will also include a list of transactions during that period affecting TN allocations,an assessment of progress made,and planned activities for the coming year.The mid-year report(due August 31 of each year)will include an updated accounting of TN discharges for informational purposes.It will also identify any changes in TN allocations or in membership for the following year and will serve as a request to modify Appendix A to incorporate those changes.The 5-year report is intended to ensure that the Division and the Association agree on the group and individual allocations at the end of the permit term. Compliance The Association is required by rule to make offset payments to the Wetlands Restoration Fund for any calendar year in which it exceeds its TN limit. In addition,the Division may take appropriate enforcement action against the Association or its co-permittee members or both in the event that they exceed applicable TN limits in the permit. The Association has not exceeded its TN limit in the first six years of its existence.The group's combined nitrogen reduction has been exemplary,reaching nearly 70% reduction from 1995 baseline levels as compared to the mandated 30% reduction for point source discharges in the basin. Expiration Date The original permit expired December 31,2007.The Division received timely application for renewal and,with the Association's consent,administratively extended the permit and delayed renewal for one year. As a result,renewals of this group permit will now follow-rather than precede-those of the members'individual NPDES permits,whose nitrogen limits it is meant to reflect. • FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES PERMIT-2008 Final NPDES No. NCC000001 Response to Comments The Division received one set of comments on the draft permit,from the permittee.The comments and the Division's responses are presented below. Comment 1) The name of the City of Goldsboro's treatment facility was changed 7 years ago to the Goldsboro Water Reclamation Facility. This should be reflected in Appendix A. The draft permit lists a different permit number for the Town of Eureka(which was tied to the Goldsboro facility)than is in the permit for the City of Goldsboro. Their permit lists the permit number as NC0048062. There are also some questions about the allocations involving the Town of Eureka and Wayne County Schools. Goldsboro's current permit lists the allocation for Eureka to be 578 pounds and Wayne County Schools to be 317 pounds. This differs from the amounts in the draft NRCA permit. The total difference amounts to 359 pounds. Response The final permit includes the correct name for Goldsboro's Wastewater Reclamation Facility.It also includes updated names for the Apex,North Cary,South Cary,and Kinston Regional WRFs. The discharge allocations in the City's individual NPDES permit are correct and now replace the values in the draft Appendix A.Allocations from connected facilities must be transferred as estuary allocations,then converted to discharge allocations using the 'parent' facility's transport factor.In this case,I used the connecting facilities'transport factors,and three of the five were located in a different transport zone.To avoid this occurring in the future,I removed TF values for all connected facilities. Comment 2) The reserve allocations for South Granville Water and Sewer Authority and the Town of Clayton need to be included in the total allocation for the Association. These reserves,although they cannot be used by these two dischargers under their current permits,are part of the point source allocation for the Neuse TMDL and should be accessible to other dischargers as long as there are no local water quality concerns. These additional 6113 pounds need to be added to the group's allocation. Response Reserve allocations. The reserve allocations for SGWASA and the Town of Clayton were listed in the draft permit but inadvertently omitted in calculating the Association's Estuary TN Limit.The final limit includes these allocations. Comment 3) The Town of Wilson and the City of New Bern agree that the additional allocations that were added for tie-ons that are not reflected in their individual permits need to be removed from the NRCA permit until modifications are made to their individual permits. These amounts are 11,274 pounds/yr.for the City of New Bern and 101 pounds/yr. for the City of Wilson. Response Since we discussed this at the NRCA's December 4 meeting,the Town of Wilson requested a technical correction to its individual permit,on an unrelated matter.We were able to include the allocation for the one connection omitted earlier.As a result, Appendix A includes this connection transfer as part of Wilson's allocation. As agreed,the Division will add the allocations for connected facilities as part of the City of New Bern's 2009 permit renewal and then include them in the next modification of the group permit. FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES PERMIT-2008 Final NPDES No.NCC000001 Comment 4) We have agreed that the allocation for the Lee Steam Plant,Progress Energy Permit No.NC0003417 shall remain"0." We would request that a footnote be added that would indicate that the Division has agreed that this facility has a background level of 3260 pounds per year of Total Nitrogen occurring at the discharge point. The Division should indicate that the facility is allowed to discharge this amount under the non-point source allocation under the Neuse Rules and that they shall only be responsible for levels in excess of this background level that is passing through their plant. The footnote may also state that they have entered into a lease agreement with the NRCA for an additional allocation of TN. The Association would like this background allocation to be specified,as it will be up to the Association to establish compliance with the allocation in the future and this amount will need to be subtracted from the monitored loading in order to establish compliance. Response Although the Association has voted to lease 9,000 lb/yr of estuary allocation to Progress Energy,the final permit,as agreed,shows an allocation of zero for the facility.This is consistent with the handling of other leases internal to the Association and does not affect the Estuary TN Limit for the group.The final permit also includes a new footnote that explains the baseline allowance and use of the leased allocation for TN loads above • the baseline. The staff of the Raleigh Regional Office suggested changes in their staff report,but these did not result in changes to the permit. ---end of fact sheet--- 1 ' THE NEUSE RIVER COMPLIANCE ASSOCIATION POST OFFICE BOX 1562 APEX, NORTH CAROLINA 27502 December 10, 2008 - I North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources r Division of Water Quality DEC J 2008 i Attention: NPDES Unit, Mike Templeton 1617 Mail Service Center __.._. i f Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Dear Mr.Templeton: The Neuse River Compliance Association(NRCA)has reviewed the draft NPDES permit for the association(NCC000001) and would offer the following comments per our discussions with you: 1) The name of the City of Goldsboro's treatment facility was changed 7 years ago to the Goldsboro Water Reclamation Facility.

This permit has not been modified since January,2006 and is currently awaiting renewal. To date,we have not received a draft of the permit. This letter is to officially notify you that the NRCA has accepted Progress Energy, Lee Steam Plant(NPDES Number NC0003417) into membership in the NRCA. This membership was approved at our meeting in September,2008. Progress Energy is not a newcomer to our organizations. They have been a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association,our sister organization, since it was created in the 1990's. We have been anticipating this request, since Progress Energy first came to our board with this concept in 2007. Due to ongoing negotiations between DWQ and Progress Energy,we have been in constant contact with Mike Templeton of your staff,regarding our ability to assist Progress Energy. Both Mike and Progress Energy felt it necessary to resolve certain issues before their membership was considered by our board. In light of this situation,we would request the Division include this Progress Energy facility in our renewed permit,when it is issued. Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter. If you have any questions or need any further information regarding this request,please feel free to contact me at 919.989.5044, or Cindy Finan, Executive Director at 919/387-3478 or Glenn Dunn,our legal counsel at 919/783- 2842.

As per our discussions,we have several corrected pages to submit for inclusion in the application package. The original application package included forms from each of the co-permittee members of the NRCA giving specific information on their facilities,including their individual nitrogen allocations. Several of the members reported their allocations incorrectly,by including nitrogen allocations that had not yet been added to their individual permits. We asked them to correct these forms and have enclosed the corrected,signed copies to be substituted into the application package. There were also several members who had not sent us forms with original signatures by the submission deadline. We have enclosed those forms as well. Enclosed,please find original signatures for the City of Wilson and the City of Raleigh(3 plants.) Also enclosed are corrected nitrogen allocation forms for New Bern,Clayton,Goldsboro,Kenly, LaGrange,and Kinston.

Si erel Haywood M.Phthisic,III Chairman THE NEUSE RIVER COMPLIANCE ASSOCIATION POST OFFICE BOX 1 562 APEX, NORTH CAROLINA 27502 June 28, 2007 North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Attention: NPDES Unit,Mike Templeton 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Dear Mr. Templeton: The Neuse River Compliance Association (NRCA)was formally organized as a not-for-profit organization in 2001. Shortly after it was formed, it applied for and received,NPDES permit number NCC000001. This permit was issued in compliance with the Neuse River Nutrient Management Strategy,which authorized the group compliance approach,allowing the group to comply with an aggregate limit for Total Nitrogen into the Neuse River Estuary. We are happy to report that the NRCA has been in existence for five years and has cumulatively removed 8,579,433 pounds of Total Nitrogen from the estuary compared to the discharge that was occurring in 1995. The group was given a mandate to reduce their Total Nitrogen discharge by 30%,and in 2006,this group of dischargers had removed 70%of that original loading to the estuary. The NRCA has served as a national model for"compliance associations"and the success that can be achieved when point sources work together. Through this innovative and altruistic approach, our members have collectively spent in excess of$50 million dollars and many of them are now treating well below the limits established as 'Best Available Technology." Though the efforts of our members we have upgraded treatment plants,encouraged optimization of treatment processes,encouraged reuse projects,and we are currently discharging at just under 50%of our permitted limit for Total Nitrogen. The Neuse River Compliance Association and its Co-Permittee Members hereby apply to renew their permit,NCC000001 for another five year period. The enclosed attachments list the members of the NRCA and provide the required Five Year Report,which include information on the group's allocations, activities and performance. If you have any questions or need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 919/989-5044 or our Executive Director, Cindy Finan at 919/387-3478.

Current members of the compliance association discharged the following flows and pounds of total nitrogen to the Neuse Estuary in the years shown: Year Average Monthly Total Estimated Flow (MGD) pounds TN to Estuary 1995 83.808 1,784,130 1996 85.675 1,741,492 1997 81.444 1,653,262 1998 93.442 1,387,717 1999 94.659 1,123,169 2000 92.582 1,056,202 2001 86.818 907,381 2002 89.926 797,991 2003 107.463 711,398_ 2004 101.203 558,553 2005 101.757 566,627_ 2006 102.970 542,205_ The Association is extremely proud of the efforts of its members in their ability to remove more nitrogen from the Neuse every year and the removal rates that they have been able to achieve. It should be noted that one new member was added to the group in 2004 (Neuse Colony) and two additional members were added in 2005 (MCAS Cherry Point and Unifi-Kinston, LLC.) We have seen that the commitment, experience and knowledge of our members has helped the group to minimize nitrogen loading,which we hope will further improve water quality in the Neuse River estuary in the future. Enforcement Summary The Association has an internal enforcement policy that requires the individual members to report to the group and to pay an assessment if they violate their individual nitrogen allocation. The group notifies any member who is out of compliance with their individual allocation for a given year, and requires the payment of an assessment and submission of a compliance schedule to insure that the noncompliance is being addressed. The enforcement policy gave the members one year of leniency(2003) before assessments were made. Starting with 2004's data the group notified two members that they had exceeded their allocation for that year. The Town of Kenly and Contentnea MSD (CMSD) were assessed and paid penalties under the group's enforcement strategy. In 2005, these two dischargers paid to lease nitrogen from other members in order to establish their compliance, rather than to face continued enforcement. The group requires regular updates on these member's status and their plans to bring their plants into compliance. The three towns that make up CMSD are working to control infiltration and inflow. This is a slow and expensive task for small towns. They have made major improvements to the collection system, however I&I is still a major priority. The board has been presented with a plan which includes an upgrade and expansion of this facility. A decision should be made in the next 6 months. During 2006, the facility experimented with "Kenaf'to assist in TN reduction. The regional office of DWQ was aware of this test and other facilities have used this product with some degree of success. The facility ran the study for 6 months using this product and determined that it was detrimental to the treatment process and did not accomplish any nitrogen removal. They discontinued the study in August of 2006. The Town of Kenly was asked by the Association to secure the services of a consulting engineering firm to assist them in planning for improvements to their facility. The Association had sent several operators from large facilities to the Town of Kenly in efforts to assist the operator to optimize their treatment process. It appeared that the inability to control the process 24 hours per day, due to a lack of automation and an "around the clock"staff, was limiting their success in meeting the nitrogen allocation. The NRCA formally asked the Town of Kenly for an engineering report in late 2006. The Town presented their engineering report to the Association at their May meeting. The Town is pursuing funding to carry out the necessary improvements to their wastewater process. The Association will continue to monitor their progress in this effort. The Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point joined the Association in 2005. The base had problems meeting their nitrogen allocation in the past and wished to lease nitrogen from the Association to allow them to be compliant while they upgraded their plant. The Base has begun construction of the upgrades to their facility and has brought the plant into compliance with the nitrogen allocation, without the use of the leased nitrogen. They accomplished this through staffing changes and by educating their staff in nitrogen removal optimization techniques.
