Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO023949
Goldsboro WRF
Wayne 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:
As the facility receives influent wastewater from several industries via an approved
pretreatment program, effluent conductivity monitoring at Outfall 001 has been added to the
permit in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0508.
As the facility has issued an Industrial User Permit (IUP) to a new Significant Industrial
User (SIU) — Mount Olive Pickle Company — which is a known source of chlorides, quarterly
effluent chlorides monitoring has been added to the permit at Outfall 001 [See A.(L) and
A.(2.)].
Based on NPDES guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies in NPDES
permits for exceptionally performing facilities, monitoring requirements for CBOD5, NH3-N,
Total Suspended Solids and Fecal Coliform have been reduced to twice per week [See A.(1)
and A.(2)].
• Based on instream data review, upstream and downstream monitoring for conductivity,
ammonia, TKN, NO2+NO3, TP, fecal coliform, and turbidity have been added to the permit
[See A.(1.) and A.(2.)].
For clarity, the instream monitoring requirements have been relocated from Sections
A.(L) and A.(2.) to Special Condition A.(5.) Instream Monitoring Requirements.
Based on Mercury TMDL evaluation showing mercury values reported at levels > 1 ng/L
and since the permitted flow is greater than 2 MGD, Special Condition A.(12) Mercury
Minimization Plan has been added to the permit.
To assess industrial contributions of PFAS chemicals to the Goldsboro WRF and assess
levels in the facility effluent, Special Condition A.(13.) has been added to the permit.
Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(6.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit, please review each paragraph carefully.
Special Condition A.(7.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the
Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2026, 2027, and 2028). In addition, at the end of
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources
RE512 North Salisbury Street 1 1611 Mail Service Center I Raleigh. North Carolina 27699-1611
�� 919.707.9000

the Special Condition, 2n' species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
• As the condition merely reiterates the Division's practice, Special Condition A.(9.) Non -
Detection Reporting and Determination of Compliance has been removed from the permit.
• 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.
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 Wayne 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].

[15A NCAC 02B .0200] [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq]
Outfall 001 - The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 7.5% at 14.2 MGD flow
regime and 9.1 % at 17.6 MGD flow regime.
Outfall 002 - The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.2%.
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
January, April, July, and October. 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
TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 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.
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.

A.(11.) POTENTIAL INSTREAM SAMPLING EXEMPTION
[15A NCAC 02B .0505(c)(4)]
Stream sampling (as well as influent/effluent sampling) may be discontinued when flow conditions could
result in injury or death of the person(s) collecting the samples. In such cases, on each day that sampling
is discontinued, written justification shall be specified in the monitoring report for the month in which the
event occurred. This provision shall be strictly construed and may not be utilized to avoid the
requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0505 when performance of these requirements is attainable. When
there is discontinuance pursuant to this provision, stream sampling (as well as influent/effluent sampling)
shall be resumed at the first opportunity after the risk period has ceased.
A.(12.) MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN (MMP)
[G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
The Permittee shall develop and implement a mercury minimization plan during this permit term. The
MMP shall be developed within 180 days of the permit effective date, and shall be available for
inspection on -site. A sample MMP was developed through a stakeholder review process and has been
placed on the Division website for guidance (https:Hdeq.nc.gov/document/nc-model-mercury-
minimization-plan-dwr-npdes-swp-20130801). 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 Mercury Minimization Plan 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.(13.) PFAS MONITORING REQUIREMENT and pretreatment
[G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
(a.) In the absence of an approved 40 CFR Part 136 method published in Federal Register, influent and
