Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0025445
Randleman WWTP
Randolph County
Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Glass:
Enclosed 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 several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• As the facility is a Grade III Water Quality Limited facility, effluent temperature
monitoring has been revised to occur daily and effluent ammonia monitoring has been
revised to occur 3/week,per 15A NCAC 02B .0508 [See A.(1.)].
• As the compliance schedule for total lead has ended, Special Condition A.(5.) Schedule
of Compliance (Outfall 001)has been removed.
• For clarity,the instream monitoring requirements have been relocated from Section
A.(1.)to Special Condition A.(2.) Instream Monitoring Requirements.
• Per discussion with the City informing the Division of upstream sampling obstacles,the
upstream sampling location has been relocated from Fox Street to E.Naomi Street [See
Special Condition A.(2.)].
• Based on discussion with the Division's Basin Planning Branch and instream data
review, instream monitoring for ammonia, TKN,NO2+NO3,TP and turbidity has been added
to the permit at a monthly frequency [See Special Condition A.(2.)].
• As the Division may request additional monitoring for TN and TP if necessary, Special
Condition A.(4.)Cape Fear River Basin Nutrient Monitoring Reopener has been removed
from the permit.
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing reasonable potential to violate
state water quality standards,total copper limits have been added to the permit and the quarterly
monitoring requirement has been changed to monthly monitoring [See A.(1)].
• To provide an opportunity for the City to develop a plan to assess sources of total copper
in order to come in compliance with the limits in Section A.(1.),a schedule of compliance has
been added to the permit [See Special Condition A.(5.)].
• As the facility identified the presence of 1,4-dioxane in their influent during the 2019
investigation for emerging compounds in the Cape Fear River Basin and to further understand
any contribution of 1,4-dioxane from this facility,quarterly effluent monitoring and a reopener

condition have been added. After a 24-month sampling period,the Permittee may request the
Division conduct a review of submitted data for assessment and approval of a 1,4-dioxane
monitoring frequency reduction from quarterly to annually. [See A.(1.)and Special Condition
A.(7.)].
• A special condition to monitor effluent PFAS chemicals quarterly has been added to the
permit,to be effective six(6)months after EPA has a final wastewater method in 40 CFR136
method published in the Federal Register [See Special Condition A.(6.)PFAS Monitoring
Requirements].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(4.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit,please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A.(4.)has been modified to include the specific three years in which the
Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2025, 2026, and 2027). In addition, at the end of
the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been added.
• A notation was made concerning the Electronic Reporting Rule — NPDES Electronic
Reporting Rule — Phase 2 Extension. EPA extended the Phase 2 deadline to December 21,
2025.
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 except that agency and division names have been updated. The latest version is available at
https://bit.ly/3k5NFaL and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.

A.(3.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200] [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to
Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 35%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum,quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the"North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"(Revised December 2010,or subsequent versions)
or"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"(Revised December 2010,or
subsequent versions).The tests will be performed during the months of January,April,July,and October.
These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent
sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit,then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum,in each of the two
following months as described in"North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure"(Revised-December 2010,or subsequent versions).
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using the
Division's eDMR system for the months in which tests were performed,using the parameter code TGP3B for the
pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value.Additionally,DWR Form AT-3(original)is to be sent to the
following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center

Or,results can be sent to the email,[e-mail].
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete,accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity(AT)test form indicating the
facility name,permit number,pipe number, county,and the month/year of the report with the notation of"No
Flow"in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address
cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,monitoring will be
required during the following month.Assessment of toxicity compliance is based on the toxicity testing quarter,
which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of the month in which toxicity testing is
required by this permit and continues until the final day of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream,this permit may be re-opened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE:Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document,such as minimum control organism
survival,minimum control organism reproduction,and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an
invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month
following the month of the initial monitoring.

monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at:https://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.

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:https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-
24954/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 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
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B.(11.)(b)and Supersedes Section B.(11.)(d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B.(11.)(a)or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II,
Section B.(11.)(b). A person,and not a position,must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR
reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions,the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's

Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make
the following certification[40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION
WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,
the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief true, accurate, and complete. I
am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the
possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations."
