Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NCO063614
Wildwood Green WWTP
Grade II Biological WPCS
Wake County
Attached with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please review
this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it contains.
There are a few changes in the draft attached here from the existing permit. These changes are
summarized below.
• Regulatory Citations - Language has been added where necessary in the permit to provide regulatory
citations for permit requirements. This includes updates to citations that have been changed with
recent rule revisions.
• Electronic Reporting - Permit language has been modified to be consistent with the finalization of
federal requirements for electronic reporting.
• Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) and Ammonia (NH3-N) Requirements - In the application submittal
Aqua requested review of the WET requirements in the permit for potential removal. Over the last
permit cycle, the facility has consistently passed the WET test requirements. This has not been the
case in previous reviews of this issue. As a 100% domestic discharger with good WET results over
the last cycle the Division has determine that removal of the WET requirements is appropriate and in
keeping with our procedures. The Division will also be modifying the NH3-N limits in the permit. In
the past the WET requirements and NH3-N limits worked together and allowed for a less stringent
NH3-N limit. The Division is now implementing an updated ammonia criteria that responds to EPA
concerns about the use of action levels in place of chemical limits. The limits will be adjusted
according to our ammonia criteria to assure no toxic impacts. NH3-N limits in the draft permit have
been set as follows:

Review of effluent data over your last permit cycle indicates that these limits are attainable with your
current treatment system. In fact, using these limits would have resulted in no limit violations over
that time period.
• Updates to Footnotes on Effluent Table — Language in the footnotes has been updated to be consistent
with our current descriptions.
• Chronic Toxicity Special Condition — With the removal of the WET requirement this special
condition has been removed.
• Nutrient Management Re -Opener — A Special Condition [A.(7.)] has been added to the permit to
address re -opening of the for the inclusion of additional nutrient control requirements.
• Map Update — Descriptive information on the permit map has been update along with other map
updates.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) that are a part of the permit are not included in this
draft document (cover, map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your current permit. The latest
version of the standard conditions is available at https://bit.ly/3k5NFaL and can be viewed online or
downloaded as a PDF file.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having general
circulation in the Wake County area soliciting public comments on this draft permit.
Please provide any written comments you may have to me no later than 30 days after receipt of this
draft permit
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning this draft permit,
please contact me by email at bradley.bennett(c�r�,ncdenr.gov or at [phone]. At this time, contact by
email is the most effective method. If we need to set up a call to discuss any issues, we can set that up

a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN and TP Loads for the Hawthorne Subdivision
WWTP (NC0049662) and for the Wildwood Green WWTP (NC0063614) as follows:
Monthly Discharge Load (pounds/month, TN or TP) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34
where
TN (or TP) = average Total Nitrogen (or Total Phosphorus) 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 Discharge Load (pounds/year, TN or TP) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads
for the calendar year
iii. Combined Discharge Load (pounds/year, TN or TP = Sum of the Annual Discharge Loads for
Hawthorne Subdivision and Wildwood Green Subdivision WWTPs for the calendar year.
b. Reporting of Nutrient Discharges: The Permittee shall report each facility's monthly TN and TP
discharge loads in the facility's discharge monitoring report for that month and each facility's
calendar year TN and TP discharge loads in its December report for that year.
c. Reporting of Combined Nutrient Discharge Loads: The Permittee shall report each calendar year's
combined TN and TP discharge loads as part of the Hawthorne Subdivision WWTP's (NC0049662)
December discharge monitoring report for that year using Outfall CO1.
A. (4) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN AND TOTAL PHOSPHORUS
[G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
a. Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) allocations and load limits for NPDES
dischargers in the Neuse River Basin and Falls Lake watershed are annual loads and apply on a
calendar year basis.

afforded such modifications under state and federal rules.
A. (6) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION
[NCGS 143-215.1(a)]
a. In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should
fail, underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent
should immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Raleigh Regional
Office (919-791-4200) of this development and discuss temporary, alternate means for
disinfection of the effluent.
b. If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine
(TRC) concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of
disinfection is in use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in
Page 8 of 13

Draft Permit NCO063614
the effluent may not exceed the permit limit; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be
necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream.
c. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/L 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 µg/L.
d. Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not
deemed as emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance,
etc.) will be considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
A. (7) PERMIT RE -OPENER: NUTRIENT MANAGEMENTK
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)] kN
a) Pursuant to N.C. General Statues Section 143-215.1 and implementing rules found in Title 15A of
North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 02H, specifically, 15A NCAC 02H.0112(b)(1) and
02H.0I 14(a), and Part II, Sections B.12 and B.13. of this Permit, the Director of DWR may reopen
this permit to require nutrient management measures for the discharge. The results of water quality
monitoring, modelling or other evaluations may require that conditions for total nitrogen and total
phosphorus control be imposed on this permit.
b) The Division may, upon written notification to the permittee, re -open this permit in order to
incorporate or modify effluent limits, monitoring and reporting requirements, and other permit
conditions when it deems such action is necessary to implement TMDL(s) approved by the USEPA.
A. (8) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE 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)1
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
Page 9 of 13

Draft Permit NC0063614
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: hM2s://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 DEQ / 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.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported via the eDMR system no later than the last calendar day of the month following the
completed reporting period. 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.
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:

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 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:
