Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO021156
Mount Holly WWTP
Gaston County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
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:
• Based on WLA-calculated allowable concentrations to protect the receiving stream against ammonia
toxicity and review of effluent data in comparison, monthly average limits of 13.0 mg/L (summer) and
26.0 mg/L (winter) plus a year-round weekly average limit of 35 mg/L have been added to the permit
[See A.(1.)].
• Based on a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) resulting in finding a reasonable potential to exceed
instream water quality standards (RP), limits for Total Copper and Total Silver have been added to the
permit [See A.(1.)].
• To provide an opportunity for the City to develop a plan to assess Total Silver in order to come into
compliance with the limits in Section A.(1.), a three-year compliance schedule with the alternative of
discharge cessation has been added to the permit [See Special Condition A.(8.)].
• Based on the RPA not resulting in RP but the maximum predicted value is found to be > 50% of the
allowable concentration, quarterly monitoring for Total Cyanide has been added to the permit.
• Based on the facility receiving industrial waste through a Division -approved pretreatment program,
daily Conductivity monitoring has been added to the permit.
• Based on the facility receiving industrial wastewater from industry types recognized as potential
sources of 1,4-Dioxane, quarterly monitoring for 1,4-Dioxane with a permit reopener condition has
been added to the permit [See A.(9.)].
• To assess industrial contributions of PFAS chemicals to the Mount Holly WWTP and assess levels in
the facility effluent, Special Condition A.(10.) has been added to the permit.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2.), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit, please
review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A. (3.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scan (if the facility is still discharging) shall be performed (2026, 2027, and 2028) if the

facility continues to discharge. In addition, at the end of the Special Condition, 2nd 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.
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using
the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added
to your NPDES permit [See Special Condition A.(11.)].
To notify the Division of the City's plans regarding closure and transfer of flow from the Mount Holly
WWTP, including pretreatment responsibilities, a Facility Closure Requirements special condition has
been added to the permit [See A.(12.)].
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 Gaston 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.
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning this draft permit, please
call me at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

A.(2.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200, .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 6%.
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
February, May, August, and November. 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 TGP313
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, [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.

NC0021156
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.

A.(5.) TOTAL NITROGEN AND TOTAL PHOSPHORUS LIMITS [NCGS 143-215.1 (b.)]
(a.) Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Lake Wylie watershed
are seasonal (summer and winter) values. Summer is defined as April 1 through October 31, and
winter is defined as November 1 through March 31. Total Phosphorus (TP) allocations and load limits
are annual values and apply on a calendar year basis, January 1 through December 31.
(b.) The TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit may be modified as the result of allowable changes
in the Permittee's allocation.
(i.) Allowable changes include those transfers resulting from the purchase, sale, trade, or lease of
allocation between the Permittee and other dischargers assigned allocation under the 1995 Lake
Wylie TMDL; regionalization (if both facilities were assigned allocation); and other
transactions approved by the Division.
(ii.) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN (or TP) Load limit in this Permit to reflect
allowable changes in its allocation.
(A) The request must include an analysis demonstrating that change in allocations and limits
does not have a reasonable potential to cause localized water quality impacts.
(B) Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the Division will propose to modify the
permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal program requirements.
(C) Changes in TN or TP limits become effective on the first January 1 (annual limit), the
first April 1 (summer limit), or the first November 1 (winter limit) following permit
modification. The Division must receive application no later than 180 days prior to the
requested effective date for any limit change.
(iii.) Any requests for modification should be sent to:

A.(6.) CALCULATION AND REPORTING OF TOTAL NITROGEN AND TOTAL
PHOSPHORUS LOADS [NCGS 143-215.1 (b.)]
(a.) The Permittee shall calculate monthly, seasonal, and annual TN (or TP) Loads as follows:
(i.) Monthly TN (or TP) Load (lb/mo) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34, where:
0
TN or TP = the average Total Nitrogen or Total Phosphorus concentration (mg/L) of
the composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month
(MG/mo); that is, the sum of daily flows in the month
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(ii.) Summer TN Load (lb/summer) = Sum of the April —October Monthly TN Loads for the
season;
(iii.) Winter TN Load (lb/winter) = Sum of the November —March Monthly TN Loads for the
season;
(iv.) Annual TP Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TP Loads for the calendar year.
(b.) The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus results (mg/L and lb/mo) in
the appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month: the summer TN results with the October
DMR; the winter TN results with the March DMR; and each calendar year's results with the
December report for that year.
(c.) 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.
A.(7.) MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN (MMP) [NCGS 143- 215.1 (b.)]
The Permittee shall maintain and continue to implement the Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) developed
in the previous permit term. The MMP shall continue to be available for inspection on -site. The MMP
should place emphasis on identification of mercury contributors and goals for reduction. Results shall be
summarized and submitted with the next permit renewal. Performance of the MMP will meet the
requirements of the TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) for mercury approved by USEPA on October 12,
2012, unless and until a Waste Load Allocation specific to this facility is developed and this NPDES permit
is amended to require further actions to address the Waste Load Allocation.

A.(10.) PFAS MONITORING REQUIREMENT [NCGS 143-215.1(b.)]
(a.) In the absence of an approved 40 CFR Part 136 method published in Federal Register, influent and
effluent PFAS monitoring shall be conducted. The 3'l draft or more recent wastewater analytical
method 1633 (see 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3)(ii) and 40 CFR 122.44(i)(1)(iv)(B)) shall be used and shall
include all target analytes listed under Table 1 of the method until such time as the Permittee uses the
approved PFAS Method for wastewater. Effective the first full calendar quarter following six (6) months
after EPA publishes a 40 CFR Part 136 PFAS Method for wastewater in the Federal Register, influent
and effluent PFAS monitoring shall be conducted using the approved EPA PFAS Method 1633. See
Appendix A for list of analytes.
(b.) Influent and effluent monitoring using the draft analytical method takes effect the first full
calendar quarter following six (6) months after the effective date of the permit (Month xx, 2024)
and will be at a quarterly frequency thereafter.

Appendix A has been added to the permit to identify the current analytes listed under Table 1 of Method
1633 Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Aqueous, Solid, Biosolids, and Tissue
Samples by LC-MS/MS (EPA, January 2024) and the appropriate ICIS codes for use when reporting in
the electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). The method and list of analytes may also be
found at:
https://www.epa.p-ov/system/files/documents/2024-01 /method-1633-final-for-web-posting.pdf
HAS Monitoring using the January 2024 Method 1633 shall be reported quarterly using the Division -
provided submittal form. Once HAS monitoring is conducted using the HAS Method 1633 in 40 CFR
Part 136, data shall be reported in the monthly eDMRs.
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 by the Perry Johnson
Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), or the American
Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to perform EPA Method 1633 can be found by
contacting the individual associations. Please note that different labs are accredited for different
matrices.
Sampling and Analytical Notes:
• Sampling shall be planned so that required holding times for analytical methods are met.
• Using one of the analytical laboratories included above will allow consistency in analytical
method and in anticipation of a final method.
• "J" flag values shall be reported when the "J" flag value is associated with the method's upper
bound. "J" flag values need not be reported when less than the method's Minimum Reporting
Level (listed in Method 1633).
• Laboratories approved for Aqueous matrix may be utilized. Please note that the lab used does
not have to be in North Carolina.
(c.) Pretreatment program activities:
(i.) HAS Monitoring Applicability: Industry categories known or suspected to discharge HAS
from the EPA HAS Strategic Roadmap include: organic chemicals, plastics & synthetic fibers
(OCPSF); metal finishing; electroplating; electric and electronic components; landfills; pulp,
paper & paperboard; leather tanning & finishing; plastics molding & forming; textile mills;
paint formulating, and airports. This is not an exhaustive list and additional industries may also
discharge PFAS. For example, Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) facilities may receive
wastes from the aforementioned industries and should be considered for monitoring. There may
also be categories of dischargers that do not meet the applicability criteria of any existing
Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG); for instance, remediation sites, chemical manufacturing
not covered by OCPSF, and military bases. 1-
' ELG categories of airport deicing, landfills, textile mills, and plastics molding and forming do not
have categorical pretreatment standards, and therefore small -volume indirect dischargers in those
categories would not ordinarily be considered Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) and may not be
captured on an existing IU inventory. IUs under the Paint Formulating category are only subject to
Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS), and existing sources may need to be inventoried.
(ii.) The Permittee shall identify and locate each Significant Industrial User (SIU) in the approved
pretreatment program in industry categories expected or suspected of PFAS discharges to the
Fourth Creek WWTP; and begin sampling of and modify Industrial User Permits (IUPs) for
Page 13 of 21

DocuSign Envelope ID: ED8AD80A-5330-4697-BEB6-A348F9DE4D44
NCO021156
each SIU identified as suspected of PFAS discharges to the Fourth Creek WWTP to ensure
sampling begins within six months of the permit effective date, by Month xx, 2024.
(iii.) Update Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) Inventory: POTWs must identify and locate all possible
indirect dischargers that might be subject to the pretreatment program and identify the character
and volume of pollutants contributed to the POTW by the indirect dischargers (see 40 CFR
403.8(f)(2)). As EPA regulations require, this information shall be provided to the Division (see
40 CFR 122.440) and 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6)) as part of the 2024 Pretreatment Annual Report
(PAR). The IWS inventory shall be revised, as necessary, to include all indirect dischargers in
industry categories expected or suspected of PFAS discharges.'- (see 15A NCAC 02H
.0906(b)(2))•
(i.) The Permittee shall begin sampling of and/or issue IUPs for each indirect discharger identified
as suspected of PFAS discharges to the Fourth Creek WWTP to ensure sampling begins within
six months of completion of the IWS. k
(ii.) The Division has determined that all SIUs and indirect disc] rgers identified above analyze
their discharge for PFAS at the same quarterly sampling frequency and with the same
analytical method to ensure protection of human health and the environment due to the
potential health hazards associated with PFAS. Collection and evaluation of this information
will also assist the Department in developing sound policies with respect to PFAS in the
environment.
(iii.) The Permittee shall ensure that IUPs within the Fourth Creek WWTP service area are modified
or reissued, new IUPs are issued, and other Pretreatment Program mechanisms are completed
to address PFAS discharges to POTWs.
(iv.) In the absence of local limits, and based upon data as they become available, POTWs shall
encourage Best Management Practices (BMPs), pollution prevention, product substitution, and
good housekeeping practices to make meaningful reductions in PFAS introduced to POTWs.
Such BMPs could be like those included in the EPA Office of Water, December 5, 2022,
"Addressing PFAS Discharges in NPDES Permits and Through the Pretreatment Program and
Monitoring Programs."A3. "Best Management Practices (BMPs) for discharges of PFAS,
including product substitution, reduction, or elimination of PFAS, as detected by draft method
1633".
(viii.) A summary of all actions taken by the Permittee and their industries and monitoring conducted
by each indirect discharger identified as part of this Special Condition shall be provided as part
of the PAR (see 15A NCAC 02H .0908(b)).
A.(11.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING - DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 143-215.1 (b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program

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
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.

Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Rep g Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reportine
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:
