Please also note that 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 permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental

data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application has been added to this final permit. [See Special Condition A. (3.)] For
information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit
the following web page: hLp://portal.ncdenr.or. web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr.

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 permit shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The

(a) Contacting Public Health Directors
The facility must notify the Catawba, Lincoln, Mecklenburg and Rowan County Public Health Directors within
12 hours of first knowledge by the owner/operator of any discharge of untreated wastewater to waters of the
State or a discharge from the wastewater treatment plant that has not received adequate disinfection due to a
malfunctioning treatment unit.
The County Public Health Directors can be contacted using the following information:
Current Information for Catawba, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, and Rowan County Health Directors
Doug Urland, Catawba County Health Director Jane Murray, Iredell County Health Director
3070 1 Vh Ave Drive S.E. 318 Turnersburg Highway

Marcus Plescia, Mecklenburg County Health Director
249 Billingsley Road
Charlotte, North Carolina 28090
704-336-4700
(b) Public Notification
The facility must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or operators must
issue a press release after a discharge to surface waters of 1,000 gallons within 24 hours of first knowledge of
the spill by the owner/operator. The press release must be issued to "all electronic and print news media outlets
that provide general coverage in the counties (Catawba/Mecklenburg) where the discharge occurred." A copy of
the press release must be maintained for one year by the owner/operator. This press release is required in
addition to the permit requirement of contacting the North Carolina Division of.Water Resources (DWR).
If a discharge of 15,000 gallons or more reaches surface water, a public notice is required in addition to the
press release. The public notice must be placed in a newspaper having general circulation in the County in
which the discharge occurred and the county immediately downstream. The owner or operator shall publish the
notice within 10 days after the Secretary has determined the counties that are significantly affected by the
discharge and approved the form and content of the notice and the newspapers in which the notice is to be
published. At a minimum the notice should be published in the newspaper of general circulation in Catawba
and Mecklenburg County. If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters,
the DWR regional office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties, if any, a public notice
must be published. A copy of these public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the DWR to the
attention of "Non Discharge Compliance Enforcement Unit" at the letterhead address within 30 days of
publication. The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge, estimated volume, water body
affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges.

Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit the permittee shall 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 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 DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
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.
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.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
httn://portal.ncdenr.or web/wg/admin/bog/ipu/edmr
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.

of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties
