Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal
PermitNC0021491, 0.98 MG
Dutchman WWTP
Davie County
Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Permittee:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007
(or as subsequently amended).
The following significant changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on 10/27/2022
• Increased frequency of nutrient (Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous) effluent
monitoring from quarterly to monthly. Better monitoring is needed to develop the nutrient
strategy to protect High Rock Lake.
• Added instream monitoring for turbidity due to turbidity impairment in the watershed.
• Added instream monitoring for Total suspended solids (TSS). This parameter is used when
developing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs).
• Corrected the instream Temperature requirement: from daily to 3/week subject to variable
frequency per State WQ reporting requirements 15A NCAC 213 .0500 and Monitoring
Frequency criteria (MFC) for class III facilities.
• Added monthly instream monitoring requirements for facilities that impact nutrient
sensitive waters (NSW)/Nutrient sensitive watershed such as: Nitrate and Nitrate (NO2 +
NO3), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), Ammonia (NH3 as N), Total Nitrogen, Total
Phosphorous, and pH. This monitoring is needed to develop the nutrient strategy to protect
High Rock Lake. However, as a participant in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin
Association (YPDRBA), instream monitoring is provisionally waived, except for
hardness. Instream monitoring will be immediately reinstated, and the Division shall be
notified immediately should the permittee end its participation in the Association.
• Corrected the effluent table to add monitoring for Zinc. Zinc quarterly monitoring is
requirement is maintained per reasonable potential analysis (RPA). Since the predicted
Max > 50% of Allowable Cw.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 11 AED56D-4BB4-4E9A-8684-F60927CB1 B72
The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent to
you on 10/27/2022:
• The facility's components list has been updated.
• Monitoring frequency for total residual chlorine (TRC) has been revised to reflect a
Grade III facility. Monitoring frequency changed from twice to three times a week [See
Section A. (L)].
• To monitor the influence of the discharge on the receiving stream and in accordance with
15A NCAC 02B .0508, instream monitoring requirements for conductivity have been
added to the permit [See Section A. (L)].
• The Division is implementing dissolved metals standards in all permits, per the 2016
revisions to State water quality standards. As such, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need
site -specific effluent hardness data and instream hardness data upstream of the discharge
for each facility monitoring these metals to calculate permit limitations. Therefore,
effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling upstream of the discharge, have been
added to the permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See Section A. (L)].
• Per the 2016 revisions to State water quality standards, the requirement for effluent and
upstream hardness sampling has been revised [See Footnotes 5 and 6 in Section A. (L)]
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to
violate state water quality standard for zinc, the monitoring requirement for zinc has been
removed from the permit [See Section A. (1.)].
• Based on the RPA continuing to show reasonable potential to violate state water quality
standard for cadmium, cadmium limits have been updated in the permit. Limitations
became more stringent. [See Section A. (1.)].
• Based on the RPA showing reasonable potential to violate state water quality standard for
copper, copper limits have been added to the permit [See Section A. (1.)].
To provide an opportunity for the Town to develop a plan to assess sources of copper to
come in compliance with the limit in Section A. (I.), a 3-year schedule of compliance has
been added to the permit [See Special Condition A. (6.) Schedule of Compliance for
Copper Limitations (with option for WER Study)].
• Based on the presence of a downstream Water Supply, a requirement to monitor effluent
1,4-Dioxane quarterly has been added to the permit [See Section A. (1.)]
• A permit reopener special condition has been added to modify 1,4-Dioxane monitoring,
treatment and/or compliance [See Special Condition A. (7.)].
• Based on the presence of a downstream Water Supply, Special Condition A. (8.) to monitor
effluent PFAS chemicals quarterly has been added to the permit [See Section A. (1.)] to be
effective six (6) months after EPA has a final wastewater method in 40 CFR 136 method
published in the Federal Register.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (3.). The specific three years in
which the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2024, 2025, and 2026) were added.
Please review each paragraph carefully.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (4.). A notation was made
concerning the Electronic Reporting Rule — NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule — Phase 2
Extension. EPA extended the Phase 2 deadline to December 21, 2025. Also, Federal
regulations require the electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data
electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
Page 2 of 4
DocuSign Envelope ID: 11 AED56D-4BB4-4E9A-8684-F60927CB1 B72
internet application has been added to your NPDES permit. Please review each paragraph
carefully.
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
[ See A. (1.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
Pretreatment updates in response to NPDES permit renewal:
a) On July 17, 2023, 180 days after the effective date of this NPDES permit renewal, the
Town of Mocksville is required to submit to the Division a written technical evaluation of
the need to revise local limits (i.e., an updated HWA-AT/STMP, or documentation of why
is not needed). This action may include revising, updating, or adding to the list of
Significant Industrial Users (SIUs).
i) Submit the updated Short -Term Monitoring Plan (STMP)
(1) Review pollutants of concern (POCs) and update the STMP to reflect pollutants in
industrial user permits (IUPs).
(2) Update target Practical Quantification Level (PQLs)
ii) Submit the updated headwork analysis and allocation table (HWA-AT)
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling 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 (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are the same as in your current permit,
except that agency and division names have been updated. The latest version is available at
https://bit.ly/3k5NFaL and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and re -issuance of the permit. This permit does not affect

Permit NCO021491
A. (2.) QUARTERLY CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 37%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent
versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December
2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and
October. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the
facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two
following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP313 for
the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent
to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days
after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is
employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form
indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the
notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Water Sciences
Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will
be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing
quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity
testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall
constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last
day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

A. (3.) ADDITIONAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMIT RENEWAL
[G.S.143-215.1(b)]
(a.) Effluent Pollutant Scans.
The Permittee shall perform a total of three (3) Effluent Pollutant Scans for all parameters listed below. One
scan must be performed in each of
the following years: 2024, 2025, and 2026. Analytical methods
shall be in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and shall be sufficiently sensitive
to determine whether parameters are
present in concentrations greater
than applicable standards and criteria. Each annual sample shall coincide
with one quarterly toxicity test each
year (see Condition A.
(5.) and
A. (6.), depending on the
outfall used),
and each must be collected
in a different
calendar quarter to
represent
seasonal variation [i.e., do not sample
in the same quarter every year]. Unless otherwise indicated,
metals shall be analyzed as "total recoverable."

A. (4) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program
reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)]
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit monthly DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,
then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and
discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1,1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms
approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the following address:
NC Division of Water Resources/Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting' section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2025, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
-Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
-Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
-Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.

2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of
each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial
recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA
or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for
receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each
type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate
electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting
Rule is found at:
has://www.federalre aister.gov/documents/20l5/l O/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharae-
elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements' section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting_
The Permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the
Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers must be submitted in writing to the
Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under
this permit to begin submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver shall
not exceed five (5) years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be
submitted electronically to the Division unless the Permittee re -applies for and is granted a new
temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not
transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data
and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is
effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page:
hLtp:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
