Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO021474
Mebane WWTP
Alamance County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Hodge:
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 expansion of the Mebane WWTP has been approved by the Division, expansion pages have
been added to the permit for 4.0 MGD and 6.0 MGD flow tiers [See A.(2.) and A.(3.)].
• Based on instream data review and discussion with the Basin Planning Branch in preparation of
the Cape Fear Permitting Strategy, instream monitoring for TP, TKN, NO2+NO3, and ammonia have
been added to the permit at a monthly frequency [See Special Condition A.(4.)].
Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to violate state
water quality standards, the monitoring requirement for total zinc has been removed from the permit
[See A.(1)].
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) predicting maximum effluent total copper and
chloride concentrations that are greater than half of the respective allowable discharge concentrations
based on state water quality standards, quarterly monitoring for total copper and chloride has been
added to the permit [See A.(1), A.(2.) and A.(3.)].
• As the last item of the requirement expired in 2021, Special Condition A.(4.) Total Nitrogen
Reduction Schedule has been removed from the permit.
• As the facility has taken measures to achieve compliance with total nitrogen limitations and
requirements, Special Condition A.(5.) Nutrient Optimization has been removed from the permit.
As the Division may request additional monitoring for TN and TP if necessary, Special Condition
A.(6.) Nutrient Monitoring Reopener has been removed from the permit.
The Division is implementing dissolved metals standards in all permits, per the 2016 revisions to
State water quality standards. As such, the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site -specific effluent
hardness data for each facility monitoring these metals in order to calculate permit limitations.
Effluent hardness sampling has been added to the permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See
A.(I), A.(2.) and A.(3.)].
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.(11.) PFAS Monitoring Requirements].
• 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, monthly monitoring for 1,4-
dioxane with an option to request evaluation and approval of reduction to quarterly monitoring after
24 months of sampling, as well as a 1,4-dioxane reopener condition has been added to the permit at
all flow tiers [See A.(1.), A.(2.) and A.(3.)].

512 North Salisbury Street 1 1611 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-161 1
919.707.9000
• Instream monitoring for 1,4-dioxane has been added to the permit downstream in the Haw River
at Old Greensboro Road and Old Bynum Bridge [See Special Condition A.(4.)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(6.), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit,
please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A.(7.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2025, 2026, and 2027) as well as the three years following any
expansion above 2.5 MGD. In addition, at the end of the Special Condition, 2Ba species Toxicity Testing
Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(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.
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements [See
A.(1), A.(2.) and A.(3.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
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.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having circulation in
the general Alamance County area, soliciting public comments on this draft permit. Please provide any
written comments you may have to the following: NCDEQ/DWR, NPDES Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days after receipt of this draft permit.

A.(6.) 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 90%.
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 I1 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
TGP311 for the pass/fail results and THP311 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
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Or, results can be sent to the email, ATForms.ATB@deq.nc.gov.
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 Reports
1. Reporting Reauirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)I
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 monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
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.
Starting on December 21, 2025, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; and
Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and

Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
Page 16 of 19
Permit NC0021474
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 Reauest 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 ISupplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)I
