A. (3.) TOTAL NITROGEN MONITORING
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
The permittee shall calculate total annual nitrogen mass loading as the sum of monthly loadings,
according to the following equations:
(1) Monthly Loading (pounds) = Days x TN x Qw x 8.34
where:
Days =the number of days of discharge in that month
TN = the average total nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the
composite samples collected during the month
Qw = the average daily waste flow (MGD) for the month
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MGD) to pounds
(2) Annual Mass Loading (pounds/year) = Sum of Monthly Loadings (pounds per month) for the
calendar year
Each month, the permittee shall report the total nitrogen concentration for each sample and the monthly
mass loading in the appropriate discharge monitoring report (DMR); and report the annual total nitrogen
mass loading in the December DMR each year.
A. (4.) LIMITS FOR TOTAL ANNUAL NITROGEN
[G. S. 143-215.1(b)]
A total annual nitrogen limit is applied annually for compliance purposes. The total annual nitrogen load
limit has been calculated using a total nitrogen concentration of 5.5 mg/L at 15.0 MGD. This annual load
is subject to change should water quality in the vicinity of this discharge indicate that more stringent
controls for nutrients are warranted.
A. (5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
[15A NCAC 0213.0200]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Mysidopsis Bahia at an effluent concentration of 5%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarter lX monitoring using procedures described below
to establish compliance with the permit condition. 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. The test procedure will be based on EPA Method 1007.0, Mysid,
Mysidopsis bahia, Survival, Growth, and Fecundity Test, as described in Short -Term Methods for
Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms,
Third Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014. The procedure will be performed as written with the following
exceptions:
Page 6 of 18

Permit NC0063029
• The test treatments will consist of a control and a 5% effluent concentration.
• Mortality for pass/fail tests will be evaluated using the t test described in Section 11.3 in
Methods for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine
Organisms, Fifth Edition. EPA821-R-02-012, October 2002, applying an alpha level
of 0.05.
• The growth endpoint for pass/fail tests will be determined using Appendix G of Short -Term
Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine
and Estuarine Organisms, Third Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014, October 2002, applying an
alpha level of 0.01.
• Mortality and growth endpoints for multiple -concentration tests will be determined using
hypothesis testing as described in EPA Method 1007.0, Mysid, Mysidopsis bahia, Survival,
Growth, and Fecundity Test, as described in Short -Term Methods for Estimating the
Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms,
Third Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014, October 2002.
• Fecundity will not be evaluated.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed. For pass/fail results,
report using the parameter code TGP3E and the DWR Form AT-4 (original), which is to be sent to the
address below.

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that Municipal
facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are also subject to
additional toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR 122.210)(5). The US
EPA requires four (4) toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test species currently required in this
permit. The multiple species tests should be conducted either quarterly for a 12-month period prior to
submittal of the permit renewal application, or four tests performed at least annually in the four and one
half year period prior to the application. These tests shall be performed for acute or chronic toxicity,
whichever is specified in this permit. The multiple species toxicity test results shall be filed with the
Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Contact the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Branch at 919-743-8401 for guidance on conducting the
additional toxicity tests and reporting requirements. Results should also be summarized in Part E (Toxicity
Testing Data) of EPA Municipal Application Form 2A, when submitting the permit renewal application
to the NPDES Permitting Unit.
A. (7.) TACTICAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM TESTING
The facility may discharge effluent from a mobile tactical water purification system (TWPS) as needed
under the following conditions:
• The separated treated water stream and the saline brine stream must be combined prior to discharging
back to the original water source.
• Any backwash from the reverse osmosis element and the microfiltration filter must be collected and
treated at the Camp Lejeune Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant, in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this permit.
• The only chemical allowed to be added to the water during TWPS testing is an antiscalant. It must be
captured in the backwash waste stream.
• The objective of the training exercise is to practice operating the mobile water purification unit, rather
than generating potable water for actual consumption.
• The chlorine injection system included with each TWPS unit will be exercised by passing water, rather
than liquid calcium hypochlorite, into the TWPS product water.
• The permittee must discuss any deviations from these conditions with the Division prior to discharge.
Page 9 of 18

Permit NCO063029
• Written notification of proposed TWPS testing must be made to the Division's Wilmington Regional
Office, Surface Water Protection Section at least two weeks prior to the testing. This notification must
include the location and dates scheduled for the testing.
A. (8.) REACTIVATION OF DISCHARGE
[G.S. 143-215.1(a)]
The permittee shall notify the DWR (NPDES Complex Permitting Supervisor and Water Quality
Wilmington Regional Office Supervisor), in writing, at least 30 days prior to resuming operation and
discharge to Wastewater Treatment Plant from either RCRA groundwater pump and treat remediation
systems identified as AS-4141 or Rapid Refueler Aggressive Fluid Vapor Recovery. Upon notification,
the Permittee shall provide analytical results which confirm the combined PFOS/PFOA detections are
below 70 parts per trillion (ppt) or any other Local, State or Federal regulatory established level.
A. (9.) BIOCIDES
[G.S. 143-215, 143-215.1]
The permittee shall obtain approval from the Division prior to the use of any biocide in the cooling water
discharged to this facility. Approval should be requested at least 90 days in advance of the planned use
of any biocide which may be toxic to aquatic life (other than previously approved compounds). The
request should be submitted to the Aquatic Toxicology Unit of the Division's Environmental Sciences
Section at the following address:
NC DEQ / DWR / Water Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Consult the Aquatic Toxicology Unit for specific items that should be submitted with each request (such
as Biocide Worksheet Form 101, MSDS documentation, etc.).
Concentrations of chromium, copper or zinc added to biocides shall not exceed applicable water quality
standards (or action levels) in the receiving stream. These concentrations should be calculated using the
Biocide Worksheet Form 101 with the Supplemental Metals Analysis Worksheet.
A. (10.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program

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 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, 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.
Page 11 of 18

Permit NC0063029
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.federalre isgter.gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-
pollutant-di scharge-eliminate on-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:
hnp://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)l
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
eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following
web page:
hnp://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
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:
Page 12 of 18

Permit NCO063029
"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. "
5. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)l
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR submissions.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the date of the report.
This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR 122.41].

A. (13.) PFAS MONITORING IN THE EFFLUENT [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
(a) Monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) shall be conducted using the most current
EPA draft method 1633 and shall include all target analytes listed under Table 1 of the draft
method until such time as the EPA publishes a 40 CFR part 136 Final PFAS Method for wastewater
in the Federal Register, after which monitoring of PFAS shall be conducted using the approved Final
PFAS Method. Monitoring takes effect the first full calendar quarter following three (3) months after
the effective date of the permit (September 1, 2023) and will be at a quarterly frequency.
(i.) Appendix A has been added to the permit to identify the current parameters listed under
Table 1 of the 4th Draft Method 1633 Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances
(PFAS) July 2023, in Aqueous, Solid, Biosolids, and Tissue Samples and the appropriate
PCS codes for use when reporting in the electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs).
The list of parameters may also be found at:
https://www. epa. gov/system/files/documents/2022-
12/3rd%20Draft%20Method%20163 3%20December%202022%2012-20-22_508.pdf
(ii.) For eDMR reporting, PFAS monitoring shall be reported under reporting outfall location
PFAS1. Until PFAS monitoring is conducted using the approved Final PFAS Method for
wastewater, the Permittee shall include a qualifier in their PFAS reports noting, "Draft
Method 1633 used — certification waived."
(iii.) Please note that specific considerations and protocols are required to avoid cross -
contamination and minimize sample bias for PFAS. A current listing of laboratories
accredited to perform EPA Draft Method 1633 can be found here:
https://www.denix.osd.mil/edqw/accreditation/accreditedlabs/index.html. To view the labs,
search for `Draft EPA Method 1633' under Methods. Please note that different labs are
accredited for different matrices.
NOTES - Sampling and Analytical:
• The analytical methods should be the most recent versions of the analytical method(s) stated above. Sampling must be
planned so that required holding times for analytical methods are met.
Page 14 of 18

Permit NCO063029
• EPA Draft Method 1633 is multi -lab validated with the 4th draft. Using one of the analytical laboratories included above
will allow consistency in analytical method and in anticipation of a final method.
• The Division considers "J" flag values valid and relevant in the decision -making process and hence all "J" flag values
should be reported.
• Laboratories approved for Aqueous matrix may be utilized. Please note that the lab used does not have to be physically in
the State of North Carolina.
