Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO025534
Hendersonville WWTP
Henderson 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:
• In the event that the facility uses chlorination for disinfection, a Total Residual Chlorine limit of
28 µg/L with daily monitoring has been add to the permit, to be effective when the Permittee uses
chlorination at both flow tiers [See A.(1.) and A.(2.)].
• Based on the facility's receiving industrial waste via a Division -approved pretreatment program
and in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0508, Conductivity effluent monitoring has been added
to the permit at a daily frequency. In addition, instream (upstream and downstream) Conductivity
monitoring has been added to the permit at variable frequencies throughout the year [See A.(L)
and A.(2.)].
• To better identify nitrogen in the effluent, monthly monitoring for NO2+NO3 have been added to
the permit [See A.(L) and A.(2.)].
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to violate state
water quality standards, the monitoring requirement for Total Nickel and Total Silver have been
removed from the permit [See A.(L) and A.(2.)].
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) predicting a maximum effluent Total Copper
concentration that is greater than half of the allowable discharge concentration based on state water
quality standards, monthly monitoring for Total Copper is maintained at 4.8 MGD, and the limits
were removed and monitoring maintained at monthly at 6.0 MGD [See A.(L) and A.(2.)].
• Based on the facility receiving industrial wastewater from industry types recognized as potential
sources of 1,4-Dioxane, quarterly monitoring for 1,4-Dioxane with a permit reopener condition has
been added to the permit [See A.(6.)].
• To assess industrial contributions of PFAS chemicals to the Hendersonville WWTP and assess
levels in the facility effluent, Special Condition A.(7.) has been added to the permit.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(3.), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit,
please review each paragraph carefully.

• Special Condition A. (4.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2025, 2026, and 2027). In addition, at the end of the Special
Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal
Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
• To address the biological community impairment of Mud Creek in light of the future facility
expansion to 6.0 MGD, a special condition requiring biological assessment once the AtC is issued
for the 6.0 MGD expansion to be conducted upstream and downstream of the outfall has been added
to the permit [See A.(8.)].
• 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.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically
using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has
been added to your NPDES permit [See Special Condition A (9.)].
• The map has been revised by replacing the "Sub -basin" six -digit designation (now obsolete) to
"River Basin"
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 hgps://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 Henderson 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.

A.(3.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200] [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 18% at 4.8 MGD and 21% at 6.0 MGD.
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
February, May, August and November. 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 H 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 TGP313
for the pass/fail results and THP3I3 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, ATForms.ATB@deq.nc.gov.
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.(7.) PFAS MONITORING REQUIREMENT
[NCGS 143-215.1(b)]
(a.) In the absence of an approved 40 CFR Part 136 method published in Federal Register, influent and
effluent PFAS monitoring shall be conducted. The 31 draft or more recent wastewater analytical
method 1633 (see 40 CFR 122.21(e)(3xii) and 40 CFR 122.44(ixl)(iv)(B)) shall be used and shall
include all target analytes listed under Table 1 of the method until such time as the Permittee uses the
approved PFAS Method for wastewater. Effective the first full calendar quarter following six (6)
months after EPA publishes a 40 CFR Part 136 PFAS Method for wastewater in the Federal Register,
influent and effluent PFAS monitoring shall be conducted using the approved EPA PFAS Method
1633. See Appendix A for list of analytes.
(b.) Influent and effluent monitoring using the unapproved analytical method takes effect the first
full calendar quarter following six (6) months after the effective date of the permit (Month xx,
2024) and will be at a quarterly frequency thereafter.
Appendix A has been added to the permit to identify the current analytes listed under Table 1 of Method
1633 Analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Aqueous, Solid, Biosolids, and Tissue
Samples by LC-MS/MS (EPA, January 2024) and the appropriate ICIS codes for use when reporting
in the electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs). The method and list of analytes may also be
found at:
https://www.epa.govlsystem/files/documentsl2024-01/method-1633-final-for-web-posting.pdf
PFAS Monitoring using the January 2024 Method 1633 shall be reported quarterly using the Division -
provided submittal form. Once PFAS monitoring is conducted using the PFAS Method 1633 in 40 CFR
Part 136, data shall be reported in the monthly eDMRs.

Permit NC0025534
Please note that specific considerations and protocols are required to avoid cross -contamination and
minimize sample bias for PFAS. A current listing of laboratories accredited by the Perry Johnson
Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), or the American
Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to perform EPA Method 1633 can be found by
contacting the individual associations. Please note that different labs are accredited for different
matrices.
Sampling and Analytical Notes:
• Sampling shall be planned so that required holding times for analytical methods are met.
• Using one of the analytical laboratories included above will allow consistency in analytical
method and in anticipation of a final method.
• '7 flag values shall be reported when the "J" flag value is associated with the method's upper
bound. "J" flag values need not be reported when less than the method's Minimum Reporting
Level (listed in Method 1633).
• Laboratories approved for Aqueous matrix may be utilized. Please note that the lab used does
not have to be in North Carolina.
(c.) Pretreatment program activities:
(i.) PFAS Monitoring Applicability: Industry categories known or suspected to discharge PFAS
from the EPA PFAS Strategic Roadmap include: organic chemicals, plastics & synthetic fibers
(OCPSF); metal finishing; electroplating; electric and electronic components; landfills; pulp,
paper & paperboard; leather tanning & finishing; plastics molding & forming; textile mills;
paint formulating, and airports. This is not an exhaustive list and additional industries may also
discharge PFAS. For example, Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) facilities may receive
wastes from the aforementioned industries and should be considered for monitoring. There may
also be categories of dischargers that do not meet the applicability criteria of any existing
Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELG); for instance, remediation sites, chemical manufacturing
not covered by OCPSF, and military bases.'-
' ELG categories of airport deicing, landfills, textile mills, and plastics molding and forming do not
have categorical pretreatment standards, and therefore small -volume indirect dischargers in those
categories would not ordinarily be considered Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) and may not be
captured on an existing IU inventory. Ns under the Paint Formulating category are only subject to
Pretreatment Standards for New Sources (PSNS), and existing sources may need to be inventoried.
(ii.) The Permittee shall identify and locate each Significant Industrial User (Stu) in the approved
pretreatment program in industry categories expected or suspected of PFAS discharges to the
Hendersonville WWTP; and begin sampling of and modify Industrial User Permits (IUPs) for
each SIU identified as suspected of PFAS discharges to the Hendersonville WWTP to ensure
sampling begins within six months of the permit effective date, by Month xx, 2024.
(iii.) Update Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) Inventory: POTWs must identify and locate all possible
indirect dischargers that might be subject to the pretreatment program and identify the character
and volume of pollutants contributed to the POTW by the indirect dischargers (see 40 CFR
403.8(f)(2)). As EPA regulations require, this information shall be provided to the Division
(see 40 CFR 122.440) and 40 CFR 403.8(f)(6)) as part of the 2024 Pretreatment Annual
Report (PAR). The IWS inventory shall be revised, as necessary, to include all indirect
dischargers in industry categories expected or suspected of PFAS discharges.'- (see 15A NCAC
02H .0906(b)(2)).

Permit NC0025534
(i.) The Pennittee shall begin sampling of and/or issue IUPs for each indirect discharger identified
as suspected of PFAS discharges to the Hendersonville WWTP to ensure sampling begins
within six months of completion of the IWS.
(ii.) The Division has determined that all S1Us and indirect dischargers identified above analyze
their discharge for PFAS at the same quarterly sampling frequency and with the same
analytical method to ensure protection of human health and the environment due to the
potential health hazards associated with PFAS. Collection and evaluation of this information
will also assist the Department in developing sound policies with respect to PFAS in the
environment.
(iii.) The Permittee shall ensure that IUPs within the Hendersonville WWTP service area are
modified or reissued, new IUDs are issued, and other Pretreatment Program mechanisms are
completed to address PFAS discharges to POTWs.
(iv.) In the absence of local limits, and based upon data as they become available, POTWs shall
encourage Best Management Practices (BMPs), pollution prevention, product substitution, and
good housekeeping practices to make meaningful reductions in PFAS introduced to POTWs.
Such BMPs could be like those included in the EPA Office of Water, December 5, 2022,
"Addressing PFAS Discharges in NPDES Permits and Through the Pretreatment Program and
Monitoring Programs."A3. "Best Management Practices (BMPs) for discharges of PFAS,
including product substitution, reduction, or elimination of PFAS, as detected by draft method
1633".
(viii.) A summary of all actions taken by the Permittee and their industries and monitoring conducted
by each indirect discharger identified as part of this Special Condition shall be provided as part
of the PAR (see 15A NCAC 02H .0908(b)).

A. (8.) INSTREAM ASSESSMENT OF BIOLOGICAL INTEGRITY
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
(a.) Within 180 days of the permit effective date, the Permittee shall submit a study plan to assess biological
integrity in the receiving water both upstream and downstream of the outfall via benthic
macroinvertebrate (benthos) sampling and analysis. The study plan shall include methodologies
consistent with DWR-approved assessment methodologies' and propose an assessment schedule and
sampling location(s). The study plan shall be submitted to the Division at the address listed under (e.)
of this section. Once DWR-NPDES approves the study plan, it shall be used for all assessments unless
a study plan modification is approved/recommended by the Division. Instream biological integrity
assessments shall be conducted by a laboratory or entity that is NC -certified for the procedure.
(b.) Within 180 days of issuance of the Authorize to Construct (AtC) permit for expansion to 6.0 MGD
flow, the Permittee shall conduct an instream benthos assessment at a point upstream and
downstream of Outf tll 001 at the locations identified in Section A.(L).
(c.) Within 180 days after the facility begins discharging at the 6.0 MGD expansion flow (i.e., upon receipt
of the Engineer's Certification of construction completion for the 6.0 MGD flow), the Permittee shall
conduct an instream benthos assessment at a point upstream and downstream of Outfall 001 at the
locations identified in Section A.(L).
(d.) With each planned assessment, the Permittee shall provide sufficient notice of sampling to the Division
so that Division personnel may attend and share samples collected.
(e.) The Permittee shall submit instream biological integrity assessment reports within 60 days of
completion. All reports shall include the owner's name, NPDES permit number and Permittee contact
person, and shall be submitted to:
(1) NCDEQ / Division of Water Resources

(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 Requirements 1SuRersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)1
The Permittee shall report 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 monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be
accessed at: https://deg.nc.yov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr .
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 following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported via the eDMR system no later than the last calendar day of the month following the completed
reporting period. 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.
Starting on December 21, 2025, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:

The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time of
each electronic submission. The Permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial
recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each
type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate
electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting
Rule is found at:
hops://www. federalregister.mov/documentsl20 l 5l l Ol2212015-24954/national-pol lutant-discharge-

Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to the
Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers 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 submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a temporary waiver
shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring data and reports shall be
submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new
temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not
transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting waiver request may submit monitoring data
and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved reporting waiver request is
effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on the
following web page: http://deg.nc.�lov/abouudivisions/water-resources/edmr
