TWSA Plant #2 WWTP
(NC 0020214)
Sludge Management Plan
The sludge generated in the activated sludge process at the facility is
stored in the aerobic digestor (capacity 112,000 gals) before being
hauled via tank truck to the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority's
sludge handling facility located at: TWSA Plant #1
1871 North River Rd.
Sylva NC 28779
The sludge from the tank truck will be dumped into one of two aerobic
digestors at the TWSA Plant #1 facility. A sample of the sludge will be
obtained from the tanker on each day that a hauling event occurs. This
sampling allows calculation of the total tons of residuals hauled from
the TWSA Plant #2 WWTP. After being mixed and stabilized via air from
diffusers installed in the digestor, the sludge is dewatered via the 1.2
meter Komline-Sanderson belt press. Dewatered sludge is then
disposed of by either hauling to a designated landfill or by being treated
to a Class A Residual in the rotary batch dryer as manufactured by
Fenton Environmental Technologies. Treated residuals are disposed of
under the authority of non -discharge permit # WQ0005763 as issued by
NC Dept of Environment and Natural Resources.

A. (2) SEWER LINE CONNECTIONS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Sewer lines serving more than one building, crossing property under separate
ownership or crossing rights of way shall not be connected to the collection system of
the TWSA Plant #2 WWTP unless a permit for the construction and operation of such
lines has been issued by the Division.
A. (3) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
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 Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)l
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 electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows
permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using
the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with
EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using
eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing,
and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
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
Page 4 of 6

Permit NCO020214
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 mailing address
above. 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, 2020, 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.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to
Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
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:
http: / /www2.epa.gov/ compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-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 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
Page 5 of 6

Permit NCO020214
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:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
