The permittee must notify the Iredell, Lincoln and Mecklenburg County Public Health Directors within
12 hours of first knowledge by the owner/operator of any discharge of untreated wastewater to waters

The County Public Health Directors can be contacted using the following information:
Iredell County Health Director
318 Turnersburg Highway
Statesville, NC 28625
704-878-5302
Lincoln County Health Director

Mecklenburg County Health Director
249 Billingsley Road
Charlotte, NC 28211
704-336-4700
The permittee must notify the public of untreated wastewater spills. Wastewater facility owners or

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

proof of publication must be sent to the DWR within 30 days of publication. The copy should be sent
to the following address:
Division of Water Resources
PERCS Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
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.(4) 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 H 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:

Permit NCO075205
NC DENR / Division of Water Resources / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 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:
htty://portal.ncdenr.orWweb/wg/admin/bog/ii)u/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)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (I L)(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/wq/admin/bog/iDu/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:
Page 6 of 7
Permit NCO075205
"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, 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.
