Subject: Draft NPDES Permit No.NCC000001
Neuse River Compliance Association
Dear Mr. Phthisic:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed the Neuse River Compliance Association's application
for renewal of its NPDES permit and has considered the group's requests for modification of the
roster and allocations list in Appendix A of the permit.The Division has made a tentative
determination to re-issue the permit,with changes,and we are enclosing a draft permit and fact
sheet for your review and comment.
The draft permit includes the following changes:
• The body of the permit is identical to the current permit except that reporting dates and the
address for the Wetlands Restoration Program have been updated.
• Appendix A includes several proposed changes:
• Progress Energy Carolinas,Inc., owner of the Lee Steam Electric Plant,is now listed as a
co-permittee member of the Association.Appendix A shows an allocation of zero. If
Progress's request to lease allocation is approved and the Association provides
documentation of the completed lease before the end of this comment period,the
Division will include the transfer in the final permit. The leased allocation will then be
deducted from the former Burlington Industries allocation.Because the leased allocation
comes from within the Association,the transaction will not affect the group's total TN
allocation.
• The table adds nine new allocations,to credit NRCA members for regionalization of
other facilities and elimination of those dischargers: five at New Bern,three at
Goldsboro,and one at Raleigh's Neuse River plant.
• The table also reflects Kinston's connection of its Peachtree system to its Northside plant
and the elimination of the Peachtree discharge point.
With these adjustments,the Association's Estuary TN Allocation increases by 17,380 lb/yr,from
1,137,171 to 1,154,5511b/yr,for calendar year 2009. The combined estuary allocation for all affected
point source discharges in the Neuse River basin remains at 1,640,000 lb/yr.

Mr.Haywood Phthisic III,President
Draft NPDES Permit No.NCC000001
November 14,2008
As agreed in the 2007 settlement discussions between DWQ and the NRCA,the reserve allocations
held by SGWASA and the Town of Clayton are shown in Appendix A as part of the Association's
total allocation but are not listed with the two members'active allocations.The intent of this
approach is two-fold: (1)the NRCA's total allocation is the sum of its member's individual
allocations,consistent with the Neuse rule,and(2) the allocation given for each member is
consistent with its individual NPDES permit.
The permit does not reflect the sales of allocation from UNIFI-Kinston to Johnston County and
Clayton,nor the sale from Benson to Johnston County. Although these members have already
executed contracts for the transactions,the closure of UNIFI's operations and uncertainty about
future operations at the site have delayed action on that permit renewal. The Division,in turn,has
delayed actions on the other individual permits so that we could act on the permits as a group and
ensure that all of the revised nitrogen limits become effective simultaneously.We are now moving
forward with the UNIFI(now DuPont)renewal and expect to send the draft permits out for public
review in early 2009.
At this time,the Division is submitting a notice to the newspapers of general circulation in the
counties of the Neuse River basin,inviting public comment on the draft permit. The notice is
scheduled to be published on or about November 15th.Following a 30-day comment period,we
will review all pertinent comments received and take appropriate action on the permit renewal.
Please provide any comments you have regarding the draft permit to this office no later than
December 15th.
If you have any questions concerning this draft permit,please call me at(919)807-6402 or reach me
by e-mail at [e-mail].
Sincerely,

The following is a list of all treatment facilities that,as holders of individual NPDES permits in 1995,are
assigned a Total Nitrogen(TN)allocation pursuant to state rule T15A NCAC 2B.0234,Neuse River Basin
Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy-Wastewater Discharge Requirements,adopted December
1997 and revised October 2002.
The rule establishes an aggregate Estuary TN Allocation of 1.64 million pounds TN per year for these
facilities and prescribes how the allocation is to be divided among the individual facilities.The
allocations,individual and aggregate,become effective with calendar year 2003.
The Total Maximum Daily Load for Total Nitrogen to the Neuse River Estuary,North Carolina,approved by
the USEPA Region 4 in July 1999,also concludes that this aggregate allocation is the maximum
allowable contribution from point source dischargers to the Neuse River estuary.

Fact Sheet - NPDES Permit
NCDENR Neuse River Compliance Association
NcwrH CAROLINA DEIARTM[NT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES NPDES No. NCC000001
PROPOSED ACTION
The Neuse River Compliance Association and its co-permittee members have applied for renewal of the
NPDES permit governing the group's discharge of Total Nitrogen to the Neuse River and its tributaries.
The group made application on June 28,2007,and modified its application on July 25,2007,and
October 6,2008.
The Division finds the Association's application to be acceptable and has made a tentative
determination to re-issue the permit,with changes.
The Division will publish a notice of this determination in the principle newspaper for each county in
the river basin on or about November 15,2008,and will accept comments on the draft permit for 30
days following publication.After the close of the public comment period,the Division will consider all
significant comments and make its final decision regarding this permit action.
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 213 .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
dischargers are subject to TN limits in a group compliance NPDES permit in lieu of the TN
limits in their individual NPDES permits.

FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association
DRAFT NPDES PERMIT NPDES No. NCC000001
• 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.
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.
-2- 11/14/2008

FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association
DRAFT NPDES PERMIT NPDES No.NCC000001
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:

18. USMCAS Cherry Point Cherry Point WWTP
19. City of Wilson Wilson WWTP
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.
-3- 11/14/2008

FACT SHEET Neuse River Compliance Association
DRAFT NPDES PERMIT NPDES No. NCC000001
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.

Re: Modification to Neuse River Compliance Association NPDES Permit No.
NCC000001
Dear Ms. Sullins:
The Neuse River Compliance Association(NRCA)holds NPDES Permit Number NC000001
from the Division of Water Quality. 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-

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.

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.

Program created by:
The Lower Neuse Basin Association
and the
NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources-
Division of Water Quality

Background
The Neuse River is approximately 150 miles long with its basin encompassing 6,192
square miles. The basin covers all or part of 19 counties and has a population of 1.3
million people. (See Figure 1.) The Neuse River Estuary is a shallow estuary that feeds
directly into the Albemarle-Pamlico Sound system which is the United States' second
largest estuarine complex and a key fisheries nursery for the mid-Atlantic coastal region.'
The estuary has experienced major eutrophication issues since the early 1970's. The
increased nutrient loading to the estuary has caused major algae blooms and fish kills.
The publication of the book"And the Waters Turned to Blood"by Rodney Barker in
1997 brought considerable attention to the plight of the Neuse River Estuary. When
initial research indicated that phosphorus was the problem, the State of North Carolina
initiated a phosphorus detergent ban in 1987. Problems in the estuary continued and
further research pointed the finger at nitrogen as the limiting factor.
The management strategy for the Neuse River Estuary included a Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL)that was adopted in 1999. Studies showed that a reduction of 30%was
necessary in the Total Nitrogen loading, with a deadline of 2003. The point source
dischargers in the basin were given an allocation of 1,640,000 pounds of Total Nitrogen
in order to meet this reduction. There was no allocation reserved for new or expanding
facilities. Allocations were given based on the permitted flows that existed in the permits
in 1995. This caused a great inequity in the distribution of the Total Nitrogen allocations,

Chapel Hill,Institute of Marine Science. Martin E. Lebo,Weyerhauser Corp. "Environmental Science and
Technology",2004,38,3068-3073

where some dischargers had permits for much more flow than they would ever need and
others were caught at or near capacity, with little or no room for growth.

A river basin group called the Lower Neuse Basin Association existed at the time that the
TMDL was developed. This group was primarily a basin coalition that conducted
comprehensive basin-wide monitoring of the river and it's tributaries in order to comply
with their individual NPDES permits. Due to the inequities caused by the distribution of
the allocations, the "Neuse Rules"that were developed by the State, allowed for the
formation of compliance groups by the major point source dischargers. The concept of
the compliance group was to allow a group of dischargers to meet a collective limit, thus
allowing them to pursue reduction strategies where the most benefit could be enjoyed at
the lowest cost. In 1996, the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina
appropriated 2 million dollars for the Lower Neuse Basin Association, to provide grants
Page 3 of 16

to dischargers in the basin to help them pursue nitrogen reduction strategies at their
plants, or to remove wastewater discharges from the river.
From the members of the Lower Neuse Basin Association came an altruistic group of
dischargers who became the Neuse River Compliance Association (NRCA). The NRCA
is a non-profit, 501 c (3) organization. They worked with the State and were given the
first permit issued to a compliance association in the United States in December, 2002.
The members of the NRCA and their respective allocations are listed in the excerpt of the
Annual Report for 2005 which is included in AppendixA. For clarification purposes, the
members of the Lower Neuse Basin Association and the Neuse River Compliance
Association are essentially the same,but the State required that a new non-profit be set up
to receive the permit. The NPDES permit,NCC000001, applies only to Total Nitrogen
and gives the group a collective limit for the number of pounds of TN that can be
discharged by the members in a year. Each member has an allocation for TN that is
expressed in two ways; 1)pounds of Total Nitrogen at the point of discharge and 2)
pounds of Total Nitrogen at the estuary(which is the discharge pounds multiplied by the
transport factor.) Under the group permit, if the group complies with the collective TN
limit, then all of the members are deemed by the State to be compliant with their TN
limit. If the NRCA were to violate its TN limit for the year, the group would be subject
to enforcement from the State and the bylaws of the Association would reflect that
violation back to,the member(s)who were in noncompliance with their individual
allocation. Under the NRCA Bylaws, the fine paid by the group would ultimately be
charged back to the offending members.

Accomplishments of the NRCA
To date the members of the Neuse River Compliance Association have spent in excess of
50 million dollars on nutrient reduction at their plants. The deadline of a 30% reduction
by 2003 was met and exceeded by more than three years. The Total Nitrogen loading
from the group in 2000 showed a reduction of 46% over the 1995 levels. By the end of
2001, the group had reduced their nitrogen loading by 53%. As of 2005, the reduction
reported by the group was up to 68%! It should be noted that in 2005 the group took on
two new members, Unifi-Kinston, LLC and the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry
Point. The collective discharge data for the NRCA is shown in Table 2. A comparison
of the discharge from the original group of members and with the addition of the two new
members in 2005 is reflected in the table.

NRCA Trading Dynamics
The Neuse Rules allow dischargers that need more allocation to acquire it from others
who have excess allocation. The rules for the Neuse Basin do not allow for point sources
to trade with non-point sources at this time. No discussion of point source/non-point
source trading is contained in this nomination package. Trading among point sources
encourages economic efficiency in meeting the overall nitrogen limit in the Neuse, based
on the assumption that dischargers will make trades to benefit both parties while still
meeting the required reduction. The NRCA has no authority over trades at this time,
other than the fact that the bylaws prohibit the selling of nitrogen to a non-member
(nitrogen allocation cannot leave the group). However, members are free to buy nitrogen
from non-members (nitrogen may be brought in from non-members.) One of the keys to
achieving benefits from trading is that there is a"transport factor" for nitrogen assigned
to each discharger. The State established Nutrient Management Zones with associated
transport factors to the various sub-basins of the Neuse. (See Figure 2.) The concept of
the transport factor is not unique to the NC strategy, but works on the premise that
nitrogen gradually diminishes as it travels down the Neuse to the estuary. A discharger
located further upstream may discharge more nitrogen without having an adverse effect
on the estuary. For example, one pound of nitrogen discharged directly into the estuary is
assumed to have the same effect as two pounds discharged in the Raleigh area. It would
Page 6 of 16

follow that rather than spending a certain amount to reduce its nitrogen in the Raleigh are,
that same amount would be better spent to reduce a discharge directly into the Neuse
estuary and would achieve twice the benefit. In exchange, a discharger in the Raleigh
area who provides funds to reduce a discharge at the estuary would receive the nitrogen
allocation that the discharger in the estuary was no longer discharging.

The State of North Carolina has encouraged the NRCA to conduct trading only in the
permanent sale of nitrogen that can be reflected in the individual permits of the
dischargers. Due to the fact that nitrogen allocation is a scarce commodity in North
Carolina and the management strategy did not reserve any allocation for growth in the
basin, dischargers are simply not going to sell nitrogen permanently. There have been
Page 7 of 16

only two official sales/trades, involving allocation that was purchased from a system that
went to land application of the wastewater. The sales have been controversial, have been
highlighted by considerable media attention and the State has not allowed the acquired
nitrogen to be added to the NRCA permit as of this date. As a complicating factor, the
environmental groups that advocate for the Neuse River do not understand the concept of
trading and want any and all reductions to be experienced by the river. They put constant
pressure on the State to limit trading, even though it is provided for in the rules, and fight
to have every pound of nitrogen that is removed from the river to be removed forever.
These groups fail to recognize the significant achievements of the NRCA and the
extraordinary reductions that have been achieved by these point sources. The 30%
reduction that was identified was mandated for non-point sources as well,but there is
little or no pressure on the non-point sources to accomplish the required reductions and
there is little data to document what reductions have taken place from non-point sources.
Due to the limitations that have been discussed previously, the NRCA has had to been
extremely innovative in managing nitrogen within the group. The NRCA has specific
bylaws and enforcement policies that prevent members from gaining the protection of the
group permit if they are not making necessary improvements to their plant and
operations. The enforcement policy requires members who exceed their individual
allocation to pay an assessment to the group that doubles each year. The monetary basis
for the assessment is the amount that the discharger would pay the State of NC to
purchase nitrogen from the Ecosystem Enhancement Project. The first year, the member
would pay 25% of this amount, 50%the second year, up to the full amount. If the
Page 8 of 16

member is reluctant to make necessary improvements to the plant or fails to pay the
assessment, the group can vote to remove them from membership, which would subject
them to enforcement from the State of NC for violation of their allocation. In this way
the group uses peer pressure to encourage continuous improvement among the
membership. In the same way, the group provides technical assistance to members who
could benefit from improved operational strategies. Due to the diversity of the
membership in terms of size and resources, the larger members who have more resources,
assist the smaller members who may be lacking in knowledge or funds. The best aspect
of the enforcement policy as an incentive for compliance, is that any assessments
collected from the members are held in escrow and are returned (in the amount of 80%)
to the member once compliance is achieved. The group does retain 20% of these funds
as an administrative cost. This seems far more palatable to the dischargers than paying
fines to the State without hope of getting any of it back!
A good example of the effectiveness of the group compliance approach is the situation
that was experienced with a new member to the NRCA in 2005. The Marine Corps Air
Station at Cherry Point had been exceeding its nitrogen allocation for some time before
joining the NRCA. The base joined the NRCA in order to lease nitrogen for a three to
five year period to allow them to comply with their permit while the plant was upgraded.
The terms of their membership and their agreement to lease nitrogen, showed a major
commitment on the part of Cherry Point to make the improvements needed to meet their
allocation. The lease agreement called for the cost of the lease to increase each year,
providing an incentive for them to make improvements in a timely manner. With these
Page 9 of 16

incentives in place, the Marine base began a comprehensive training program for its
operators and made some substantial operational improvements to optimize their
treatment process. In the end, Cherry Point never did violate their individual allocation
and did not need the allocation they had leased. They continued to pay their lease
payments, in good faith and have pursued the necessary improvements to their plant.
One important feature of this lease agreement, was that the membership determined that
the funds paid by Cherry Point would be earmarked for projects that would directly
benefit the Neuse River and nutrient management. The group voted to use the funds to
partially fund a reuse project for another member that will essentially divert that
member's entire wastewater discharge to a nursery operation during the summer months,
thus removing this loading from the river when the stress is the greatest. If Cherry Point
were not a member of the NRCA, it is doubtful that any regulatory agency could have
compelled it to pay a penalty assessment, and even if a penalty was paid, the funds would
not have been used to benefit the Neuse.
Two smaller members of the NRCA are still pursuing funding for necessary capital
improvements to their plants in order to meet their nitrogen allocations. In the mean
time, the group monitors their progress, requires them to make regular reports to the
group and provides short term leases opportunities for them to avoid the enforcement
assessments that the group's enforcement policy requires. In some respects, the members
would rather negotiate a short-term lease for needed nitrogen, rather than to fall subject to
"enforcement"by the group. Even though lease costs cannot be recouped by the member
Page 10 of 16

(as they can from the enforcement policies), it is often cheaper and better to be
considered "in compliance."
Accounting Procedures and Evaluation of the Program
The NRCA is required to report to the State of NC, Division of Water Quality every six
months. The group is required to submit two reports to the State each year that include
the total loadings from each member, to determine compliance with the permit, along
with other aspects of the group's activities. The Midyear Report is due on Aug. 31 of
each year, which includes the last 12 months of Total Nitrogen data for each member,
reported as Total Monthly Flow,Monthly Average Total Nitrogen and the loading
expressed as pounds for each month and totaled for the period. This report is not used for
compliance purposes,but is used to give the State a running 12 month snapshot of the
group's loading. The Annual Report is required to be submitted by February 28th of each
year and includes all data(as described above) for the calendar year along with a survey
of member's activities. This report includes information regarding regionalization, a
summary of all purchases, sales, trades, leases or other transactions affecting the
allocations of the members, enforcement updates, changes in membership, control
strategies for the coming year, a summary of measures taken to control TN for the last
year(for each member),and an assessment of progress made and a description of other
efforts or projects for the coming year(s). The fact that all of the activities of the
association are governed and reported under an NPDES permit make this program fairly
unique. This type of reporting and its subsequent review by the State provides
transparency for all activities of the NRCA and any leases or trades that might take place.
The State discourages temporary leases and encourages permanent trades that then can be
Page 11 of 16

reflected in the individual NPDES permits. The State uses the NRCA permit as a means
of tracking and accounting for all Total Nitrogen Allocations of the members. The
NRCA reports are submitted under the conditions of the NPDES permit and are therefore,
public information and subject to public scrutiny as well. A copy of the data portion of
the 2005 Annual Report is included in Appendix A. The narrative portion of the report is
too lengthy to be included here. The Executive Committee and Executive Director of the
NRCA are in contact with the staff of the Division of Water Quality on a continuing basis
and meetings are held periodically to discuss issues that affect the permit and the group.
The uniqueness of this program necessitates constant communication and the utmost
cooperation between the NRCA and the State. We are essentially making this up as we
go along, so communication and cooperation are essential to the success of the program
and to the development of future strategies to enhance membership in the NRCA and the
benefit to the Neuse River.
Collaboration and stakeholder involvement have always been a part of the NRCA. By its
very nature, it includes representatives from 20 members (large municipalities, small
towns, a private utility, industry and a military base.) The diversity of the membership
and the various representatives and elected officials who serve as the delegates, deliver a
variety of opinions and viewpoints. Due to the state-issued permit, there are
opportunities for public input, notice and hearing involving most association activities.
The association has kept the conservation groups informed of their efforts and has
supplied them with copies of the annual reports. The group is actively involved with two
different universities in the North Carolina University System to participate in research
Page 12 of 16

and the sharing of data on the Neuse Estuary and to draw on the expertise of academia.
These research efforts are explained in a subsequent section of the nomination.
Actual or Anticipated Environmental Improvement
To reiterate the actual environmental improvement that has been experienced by the
Neuse River, thanks to the NRCA: in 1995 the point sources who make up the current
membership of the NRCA discharged 1,784,130 pounds to the Neuse River Estuary. The
permit that was in force in 2003 and 2004, permitted the group to discharge 1,073,115
pounds of Total Nitrogen. The group reported a discharge of just 722,374 pounds or 67%
of the permitted load. In 2004, the members decreased this amount by 163,821 pounds,
discharging 558,553 pounds of nitrogen(52%of the permitted limit.) In 2005 the group
discharged 566,627 pounds of TN, or 50%of its permitted limit(which increased to
1, 137,171 due to the addition of two new members and their allocations.) The total
impact on the Neuse was the reduction of the Total Nitrogen load by 68%or a total of
1,217,503 pounds in 2005 over what was discharged in 1995. If you look at the
cumulative reduction since 1996, the NRCA has kept 7,337,508 pounds of TN out of the
Neuse River from what was being discharged during the baseline year of 1995. One can
only imagine the benefits to the river and estuary from a reduction of this magnitude.
Actual or Expected Economic Benefits
The economic benefits that have been realized by the Neuse River and its estuary and the
State of North Carolina thanks to the efforts of the NRCA are difficult to quantify. A
great deal of money has been spent by the municipalities and industries that hold
membership in the NRCA. It is estimated that over fifty million dollars has been spent
Page 13 of 16

I
on upgrades to wastewater facilities and to construct new facilities to remove nitrogen
from the receiving waters. The conditions in the Neuse River and the estuary have
greatly improved, and the NRCA is now participating in research being conducted by the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Institute of Marine Science to further
document the recovery of the estuarine system. The NRCA is supporting this research, in
the amount of$65,000 per year, to assist in this effort. In addition to the economic
benefits that have undoubtedly been experienced by the aesthetic improvements and
public perception of the river and the coast, the other major economic benefit is the
growth that the NRCA has now provided for in the eastern part of North Carolina. The
development of the TMDL for the Neuse, mandated a 30%reduction in nitrogen loading
from point sources. As mentioned previously, there were no provisions for growth in
terms of new or expanding wastewater facilities. The 68%reduction that has been
realized by the NRCA has bought the State of North Carolina some room to grow, in a
part of North Carolina that is trying to grow very rapidly.
The improvements made by NRCA members and the fact that many of our members are
treating well below what is accepted as Best Available Technology, have provided an
excess allocation that stands to allow some growth in the basin that otherwise would have
been impossible. The NRCA is currently participating in negotiations with the State that
might allow the members of the NRCA to leverage some additional flows for their
facilities, based on their ability to treat below BAT levels and based on the unused
portion of the allocation that they group holds. The group shares information and
promotes reuse projects that will also remove flow and nitrogen from the wastewater
Page 14 of 16

discharges, that could allow for more growth for the towns and cities of eastern North
Carolina. The NRCA is anxious to pursue point source, non-point source trading as a
way of providing additional reductions from agriculture and non-point sources that could
help their town provide more growth, while protecting the river and the estuary. The
group is currently supporting research by North Carolina State University into alternative
methods of providing nutrient offsets, that might allow municipalities to expand buffers
within the basin,purchase conservation easements and construct stormwater retrofit
projects that would benefit the river and the estuary. The group hopes that by conducting
this research and showing the benefit and cost of other alternatives, that the
Environmental Management Commission of NC could be persuaded to add some
additional measures to provide for this type of non-point source,point source trading.
Conclusion
This group has had to been innovative, cooperative and altruistic in their struggle to
reduce nitrogen loadings to protect the Neuse, while meeting the pressures of growth and
economic development. The have proven their ability to meet the challenge of a
mandated reduction in nitrogen loading, by working together and sharing information and
resources and accomplishing what no one though was possible. They take their
obligation to the Neuse very seriously and conduct additional research and monitoring to
look for new ways to improve the estuary and to optimize nitrogen removal at their
plants. Their efforts have gone unnoticed and unappreciated by the citizens of North
Carolina, thanks to conservation groups that fail to acknowledge the effort and
commitment they have demonstrated. The NRCA has not simply used nutrient trading in
Page 15 of 16

its most traditional sense, but has looked for innovative ways to bring new tools to the
trading tool box. To be a member of the NRCA is a much bigger commitment than just
agreeing to buy some nitrogen when you need it. This group constantly strives to bring
all its members up to a standard of excellence that provides the best treatment and the
cleanest reclaimed water to protect the Neuse River and its estuary.
