The permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows: i. Monthly Total Nitrogen (TN) Load (lbs/month) = TN x TMF R 8.34 Where: TN = average TN 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 TN Load (lbs/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year b. The permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lbs/month) in the discharge monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lbs/year) in the December report for that year. A. (4.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River basin are annual limits and are applied for the calendar year. b. For any given calendar year, the permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit in this permit if: i. the permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or ii. the permittee is a co-permittee member of a compliance association. c. If the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation. d. The TN Load limit in this permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in the permittee's TN allocation. i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. ii. The permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this permit to reflect allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. Hi. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes proposed for the following calendar year. Page 7 of 14 Permit NCO062219 iv. Application shall be sent to: NCDEQ/DWR/NPDES Attn: Neuse River Basin Coordinator 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 e. If the permittee is a member and co-permittee of an approved compliance association, its TN discharge during that year is governed by that association's group NPDES permit and the TN limits therein. i. The permittee shall be considered a co-permittee member for any given calendar year in which it is identified as such in appendix A of the association's group NPDES permit. ii. Association roster(s) and members' TN allocations will be updated annually and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. iii. If the permittee intends to join or leave a compliance association, the Division must be notified of the proposed action in accordance with the procedures defined in the association's NPDES permit. (1) Upon receipt of timely and proper notification, the Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements. (2) Membership changes in a compliance association become effective on January 1 of the year following modification of the association's permit. f. The TN monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit remain in effect until expiration of this permit and are not affected by the permittee's membership in a compliance association. A. (5.) TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATION$ [G.S. 143-215.1(b)] a. The following table lists the Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation(s) assigned to, acquired by, or transferred to the permittee in accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management rule (T15A NCAC 02B .0234) and the status of each as of permit issuance. For compliance purposes, this table does not supercede any TN limit(s) established elsewhere in this permit or in the NPDES permit of a compliance association of which the permittee is a co-permittee member. ALLOCATION TYPE SOURCE DATE ALLOCATION AMOUNT (1) STATUS Discharge Estuary (Ib/yr) (Iblyr) Base Assigned by Rule 12/7/97; 2,123 4,246 Active (T15A NCAC 02B 4/1/03 .0234) Footnote: 1. Transport Factor = 50% b. Any addition, deletion, or modification of the listed allocation(s) (other than to correct typographical errors) or any change in status of any of the listed allocations shall be considered a major modification of this permit and shall be subject to the public review process afforded such modifications under state and federal rules. Page 8 of 14 Permit NCO062219 A. (6.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION [NCGS 143-215. 1 (a)] In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail, under -perform, 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. 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 the effluent may not exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water quality in the receiving stream. 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. 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. (?.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) [15A NCAC 02B .0200 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 90.0%. 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 March, June, September and December. These months signify the first month of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing 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 -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. Page 9 of 14 Permit NCO062219 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, 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: Attention: NC DENR / DWR / Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch 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 Environmental Sciences Branch 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. 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, m 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. 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.
