Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO078697
Six Oaks Complex WWTP (proposed]
Henderson County
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to
the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently
amended).
This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on October
30, 2013.
➢ Section A. (2) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data. Proposed Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). The proposed
regulations specify that if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Accordingly, NC DENR has
established an electronic data -submission system. If this proposed facility is built and begins discharging,
all effiuent data must be submitted to the Division electronically.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings
(6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this
decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may
require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain any other Federal, State, or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you
have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Charles Weaver at telephone number (919) 807-
6391.

Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then

begin reporting 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 monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until

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 DENR / 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.

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.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements 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 using eDMR. Temporary
waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time,
DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for
and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
