[G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2).]
(a) Contacting Public Health Directors
The facility must notify the Iredell, Lincoln, Catawba, and Mecklenburg 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:
Catawba County Health Director
3070 1 Vh Ave. Dr. S.E.
Hickory, NC 28602
828-695-5800

704-878-5300
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 county 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

The minimum content of the notice is the location of the discharge, estimated volume, water
body affected and steps taken to prevent future discharges.
A. (6) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G. S. 143-215.1(b)]
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.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of
this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
Section B. (11.)Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting (Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
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 / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Page 8. of 10
Permit NC0063355
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:
http://-portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq dmin/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.
2. Signatory Requirements (Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B.
11. d
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in
Part II, Section B. (I 1.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in
Part II, Section B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority
for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North
Carolina's eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please
visit the following web page:
http://portal.ncdenr.or web/wly min/boWi,pu/edmr
Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall
make the following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF
CERTIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or
persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the
information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate,
Page 9 of 10
Permit NCO063355
and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information,
including the possibility of fines and imprisonment for knowing violations."
3. Records Retention [Supplements Section D. (6.)]
The permittee shall retain records of all Discharge Monitoring Reports, including eDMR
submissions. These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least 3 years from the
date of the report. This period may be extended by request of the Director at any time [40 CFR
122.41].

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
For
Aqua North Carolina, Inc.
No sludge will be treated on any wastewater treatment plant site operated
by Aqua N.C., Western Division
Where practical, sludge removed from a Aqua N.C., Western Division
facility will be transported via a contract hauler to another Aqua N.C.,
Western Division facility for the purpose of "seeding" a new or under
loaded plant.
Unusable (or "dead") sludge will be removed by a contract hauler and
properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract
haulers used by Aqua N.C., Western Division will be required to report the
quantity of sludge transported and identify the location of the proposed
disposal site if the sludge is not taken to an existing plant operated by Aqua
N.C., Western Division. Aqua N.C., Western Division has not entered into
any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not owned by
them.
Aqua N.C., Western Division will keep records on the quantity of sludge
removed from each facility, the name of the contract hauler, and the
destination of the sludge (whether used in another plant or disposed of).
The information will be kept on file and will be made available to any
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over sludge treatment or disposal.
Aqua N.C., Western Division includes all of the facilities under the
jurisdiction of the Mooresville Regional Office.
