NPDES Permittees
Total Residual Chlorine 50 ug/l Compliance Level
Michael F. Easley, Governor
State of North Carolina
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
In a previous letter dated August 14, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) notified
NPDES permittees that water/wastewater treatment facilities with Total Residual Chlorine
(TRC) effluent limits would be required to use analytical methods that produce detection levels
below their permit limit by July 1,_ 2002. [Note: TRC permit limits are typically set between 17
to 28 ug/l for discharge to freshwater systems, and 13 ug/l for discharge to saltwater systems].
This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of the NC
enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and compliance
with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 2B.0505(e)(4)].
Since that time, DWQ has received several inquiries. regarding difficulties with. the new
analytical methods, primarily focused on 1) lack of precision with field instrumentation at low
TRC levels for both water and wastewater treatment plants; and 2) manganese interference with
TRC measurement at several water treatment plants. Some facilities have overcome these
problems through various changes, such as: 1) switching dechl6rination chemicals; 2) adding a
second dechlorination feed; 3) :changing analytical methods; 4) incorporating manganese
correction; 5) switching to UV disinfection; 6) removing sludge from water treatment plant
settling basins. Also, the DWQ Laboratory Certification staff have provided extensive field
assistance for the new lab methods. Still, some analytical issues remain. In response to the
permittee's concerns, the Division is providing the following changes to its TRC requirements:
❑ TRC Compliance Level Changed to 50 ug/l. DWQ continued discussions with EPA
regarding analytical difficulties with TRC measurements, and in March 2008 received
EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level.. This will not change the
analysis, annual verification of meter performance, or data reporting, but simply.how the
reported values will be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Facilities will
still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for
compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 ug/l will be treated as zero. For example,
if the facility has a TRC limit of 17 ug/1 and reports a TRC value of 40 ug/i on the DMR,
this value will be considered compliant under this new policy. This new compliance
level is effective March 1, 2008 (beginning with March 2008 DMR submittals).
DWQ will continue to incorporate TRC effluent limitations into NPDES permits for all
water/wastewater treatment facilities that discharge chlorine -bearing wastestreams to surface
waters. While this new TRC compliance level of 50 ug/l is effective beginning March 1, 2008, it
will be incorporated into existing NPDES permits with TRC effluent limits upon permit renewal.
At that time, the following TRC footnote language will added to the Effluent Limitations Sheet:
"The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including
field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/l will be treated as zero for compliance
purposes."

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
iii. 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

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:
