Such discharges shall be limited and monitored' by the Permittee as specified below: EFFLUENT CHARACTERISTICS Parameter Code EFFLUENT LIMITS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Monthly Average Daily Maximum Measurement Frequency Sample Type Sample Location Flow 2 50050 MAD Continuous Recording Effluent Acute Toxicity 3C TGE6C Quarterly Grab Effluent EPA Methods 6244 76029 Quarterly Grab Effluent EPA Methods 6254 76028 Chloride 00940 Monthly Grab Effluent pH 00400 z 6.0 and 5 9.0 S.U.

All volumes of wastewater leaving the facility shall be monitored. 3. Acute toxicity (Fathead Minnow) Pass / Fail at 90% during the months of January, April, July and October. Samples for EPA Methods 624/625 should be collected at the same time as the acute toxicity test sample. 4. Chemicals that are to be monitored using an EPA approved method equivalent to the detection levels obtainable by Method 624 and 625 or better are as follows: • 2-Chlorcethylvinyl ether • 2,4-Dinitrophenol • 3,3-Dichlorobenzidine, • 4,6-Dinitro-2-methylphenol, • 4-Nitrophenol, • Acrolein, • Acrylonitrile, • Benzidine, • Hexachlorocyclopentadine, • Pentachlorophenol, • Toluene, • Bis (2-Ethy1hexyl) Phthalate, • Ethylbenzene, and • Xylenes There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Part I, Page 3 of 6 Permit NCO085979 A.(2.) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq.] The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). 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. The parameter code for Pimephales promelas is TGE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the appropriate parameter code. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1623 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1623 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 and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. 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 any month, 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, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately. Upon submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements 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. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. Part I, Page 4 of 6 Permit NCO085979 A. (3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS [G. S. 143-215.1(b)] Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs).

(2.) Reporting Section D. (6.) Records Retention Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)l 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 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 / DWR / Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 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: ho://portal.ncdenr.or web/wg/admin/boeiRu/edmr Part I,Page 5of6 Permit NCO085979 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.

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.
