The Division understands that you have made no significant changes to your facility the last permit renewal. We have made the following updates to your previous permit: • added updates to facility map, outfall locations and parameter codes We have made the following updates to the draft permit: • once per permit cycle mercury monitoring was removed from the draft permit because the 2012 Statewide Mercury TMDL is applicable to municipal wastewater treatment plants. 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 Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation. The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your NPDES permit.
