A. (3.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
a. The permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
L Monthly TN Load (lb/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34
Where:
TN = average TN concentration (mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month
TMF = Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month (MG/month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
ii. Annual TN Load (lb/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar
year
b. The permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/month) in the
discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results
(lb/year) in the December report for that year.
A. (4.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
(a) TN limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are as prescribed in the
basin's Nutrient Management Strategy rule for wastewater treatment facilities, T15A
NCAC 2B .0234.
(b) The permittee's TN discharge is governed by this permit unless the permittee is a
member and co-permittee of an approved compliance association, in which case its TN
discharge is governed by the association's group NPDES permit and the limits therein.
(c) TN limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are annual, calendar -year
limits. All such limits in effect on January 1 of a given year remain in effect for the
entire calendar year. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year
following permit modification and remain in effect for the full year. Similarly, changes in
membership in a compliance association become effective on January 1 of the year
following the change and remain in effect for the full year.
(d) For any given calendar year, the permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN
Load limit in this permit if:
(1) the permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or..
(2) the permittee is a member of a compliance association and a co-permittee to the
association's group NPDES permit.
(e) The permittee's effective TN limit (if any) may change due to changes in its TN allocation
or membership changes in a compliance association.
(1) The permittee may notify the Division and request a modification of this permit to
incorporate allowable changes in its TN Load limit. Allowable changes include those
resulting from -purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund;
purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the permittee and other
dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division.
(2) If the permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must
be notified of the proposed change.
(3) Upon receipt of timely and proper notification, the Division will modify the affected
permit(s) as necessary to incorporate the allowable changes in TN limits or to reflect
the change in membership.
a. The Division must receive notification no later than August 31 for changes
proposed for the following calendar year.
b. Notification shall be sent to:
NCDWQ / NPDES Programs
Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
(f) For the purpose of permit compliance, an association's co-permittee members in a
calendar year (and the permittee's membership status) shall be as defined in its group
NPDES permit. The roster and the members' TN allocations will be updated annually
and in accordance with state and federal program requirements.
(g) The TN monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit remain in effect until
expiration of this permit and are not affected by the permittee's membership in a
compliance association.

Permit NCO056618
A. (5.) TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS
a. The. following_ table lists the Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation(s) assigned to, acquired by, or
transferred to the permittee in accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management rule (T15A
NCAC 02B .0234) and the status of each as of permit issuance. For compliance purposes, this
table does not supercede any TN limit(s) established elsewhere in this permit or in the NPDES
permit of a compliance association of which the permittee is a co-permittee member.

Re: NPDES Permit Name Change, Carolina Pines Estates NPDES NCO056618
To Whom It May Concern,
Please find enclosed application package. The previous pennittee company — Carolina Pines Utilities, Inc. - has
been officially merged into Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina. Previously both entities were "sister"
affiliates so nothing else changes other than permittee name. The official Articles of Merger filed with the NC
Secretary of State is enclosed.
Please let me know if you should have any questions or need any additional information. I can be reached at 704-
