The correct effluent characteristic in question for your permit should state Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Your permit TSS compliance limits were correct and not affected. Be sure to use the correct description and code on your submitted DMRs. Enclosed is a technical corrected copy of the permit limits page for NPDES Permit NC0086797. Please replace the limits page in your current NPDES permit with the corrected limits page and discard the removed page. This technical correction does not affect any other terms, conditions, or compliance actions covered by the current permit. Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit technical correction, please contact Ron Berry at telephone number (919) 807-6403.

(1.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS During the period beginning on the effective date of the permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee is authorized to discharge from outfalls 001 and 002. Such discharges shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below for each outfall: EFFLUENT LIMITS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS CHARACTERISTICS Monthly Daily Measurement Sample Type Sample Location Average Maximum Frequency P s Flow 0.027 MGD 1 Occurance Estimated 2 Effluent Total Monthly Flow(TMF)3 Monitor&Report Monthly Calculated Effluent (million gallons/month Total Suspended Solids(TSS) 30.0 mg/L 45.0 mg/L 2/Month Grab Effluent pH 4 2/Month Grab Effluent Total Iron (mg/L) Monthly Grab Effluent Total Residual Chlorine(TRC)5 13 pg/L 2/Month Grab Effluent Nitrite/Nitrate Nitrogen 6 Monitor&Report(mg/L) Monthly Grab Effluent (NOrN+NO3-N) Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen(TKN)6 Monitor&Report(mg/L) Monthly Grab Effluent Total Nitrogen(TN)3,6 Monitor&Report(mg/L) Monthly Calculated Effluent TN=(NOrN+NO3-N)+TJN 3 Monitor&Report Monthly Calculated Effluent TN Load (pounds per month) TN Load=TMF x TN X 8.34 - Monitor&Report Annually Calculated Effluent (pounds per year) Total Phosphorus(TP) (mg/L) Monthly Grab Effluent Footnotes: 1. The Monthly Average Compliance Limit is the monthly average of the sums of outfall 001 and outfall 002 daily discharge events. 2. The estimated value is calculated by multiplying the number of sand filters regenerated in a day by a predetermined volume of waste water generated per sand filter regeneration event. 3. TN Load is the mass load of Total Nitrogen discharged in a given period of time. See A. (2) for Total Nitrogen monitoring and reporting requirements. 4. The pH shall not be higher than 8.5 s.u. or less than 6.8 s.u.. 5. TRC compliance is required for chlorine or chlorine derivative used for disinfection.The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 ug/1 to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified),even if these values fall below 50 ug/l. 6. For a given waste water sample,TN =(NO2-N+NO3-N) +TKN, where TN is Total Nitrogen, (NO2-N + NO3- N) is the Nitrite/Nitrate Nitrogen, and TKN is the Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen.. All samples collected should be from a representative discharge event. There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.
