Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO021253
Havelock WWTP
Craven 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:
The facility components list has been updated per consultation with the ORC (see
Supplement to Cover Sheet).
Based on NPDES guidance regarding the reduction of monitoring frequencies in NPDES
permits for exceptionally performing facilities, monitoring requirements for NH3-N, Total
Suspended Solids and Enterococci are maintained at twice per week at the 2.25 MGD flow tier
[See A.(1)]. As reduced monitoring only applies to the current flow, monitoring frequency for
the above parameters has been reset to daily at 2.8 and 3.5 MGD flow tiers [See A.(2.) and
A.(3.)]. Once the 2.8 MGD limits page has been placed into effect and after six (6) consecutive
months of daily sampling, the Permittee may request a reduction in the monitoring frequency
to twice per week sampling for any of the three parameters (TSS, NH3-N and Enterococci) for
which no effluent permit limit violations have occurred.
• For consistency with other issued NPDES permits, the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Special Condition has been removed from the permit and conditional TRC limit and
monitoring has been added to each flow tier sheet with a footnote explaining the conditional
monitoring and reporting requirements [See A.(L), A.(2.) and A.(3.)].
• For consistency with other issued NPDES permits, the order of the nutrient -related special
conditions (Total Nitrogen Allocations, Annual Limits for Total Nitrogen, and Calculation of
Total Nitrogen Loads) have been placed after the Chronic Toxicity and Additional Monitoring
Requirements special conditions [See A.(7.), A.(8.) and A.(9).].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A.(5.), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit, please review each paragraph carefully.

• Special Condition A.(6.) 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
the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
• A special condition to monitor effluent PFAS chemicals twice per year has been added to
the permit, to be effective six (6) months after EPA has a wastewater method in 40 CFR136
method published in the Federal Register [See Special Condition A.(12.) PFAS Monitoring
Requirements].
• To verify that the existing sample location is representative of the monitored activity,
Special Condition A.(11.) Demonstration of Representative Sampling has been added to the
permit.
Is 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.(13.)].
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 Craven 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].

to Americamysis bahia (= Mysidopsis bahia) at an effluent concentration of 15% at 2.25 MGD, 16% at
2.8 MGD, and 16% at 3.5 MGD.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using procedures described below to
establish compliance with the permit condition. 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 EPA Method 1007.0, Mysid, Mysidopsis bahia, Survival,
Growth, and Fecundity Test, as described in Short -Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity
of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms, Third Edition, EPA821-R-02-

Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms, Third Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014. The procedure
will be performed as written with the following exceptions:
• The test treatments will consist of a control and a 15% at 2.25 MGD, 16% at 2.8 MGD, and 16%
at 3.5 MGD effluent concentration ("pass/fail"), or a control and five effluent concentrations, one
of which will be 15% at 2.25 MGD, 16% at 2.8 MGD, and 16% at 3.5 MGD and one of which
will be (1/2 the IWC) 7.5% at 2.25 MGD, 8% at 2.8 MGD, and 8% at 3.5 MGD.
• Mortality for pass/fail tests will be evaluated using the t test described in Section 11.3 in Methods
for Measuring the Acute Toxicity of Effluents to Freshwater and Marine Organisms, Fifth Edition,
EPA-821-R-02-012, October 2002, applying an alpha level of 0.05.
• The growth endpoint for pass/fail tests will be determined using Appendix G of Short -Term
Methods for Estimating the Chronic Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and
Estuarine Organisms, Third Edition, EPA-821-R-02-014, October 2002, applying an alpha level
of 0.01.
• Mortality and growth endpoints for multiple -concentration tests will be determined using
hypothesis testing as described in EPA Method 1007.0, Mysid, Mysidopsis bahia, Survival,
Growth, and Fecundity Test, as described in Short -Term Methods for Estimating the Chronic
Toxicity of Effluents and Receiving Waters to Marine and Estuarine Organisms, Third Edition,

pH in the vicinity of the receiving stream Outfall 001 in conjunction with effluent sampling
conducted at the existing effluent sampling location.
2. A study plan for the additional sampling with the proposed location of the grab sample point should
be provided by December 1, 2023. Once approved, this study plan should be used for these
analyses. Sampling shall be conducted in accordance with monitoring frequencies as identified in
Section A. (L) and for a period of 2 months during the Winter season (November 1 — March 31)
and 2 months during the Summer season (April 1— October 31). The sampling should be conducted
on the same day and close enough together in time to be reasonably comparable.
3. By September 1, 2024, the Permittee shall submit to the Division a report summarizing the data
results. A comparison of the effluent data and the alternative sampling point should be conducted
by the permittee.
4. Should the existing sampling location for fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen and pH be considered
unrepresentative; i.e., there is a statistically significant difference in the results (between locations
001 and 001B) with respect to the receiving stream, the Permittee shall identify and sample at a
location that is representative. This change, once approved, will be incorporated into the permit as
a minor modification.

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:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; and
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
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: hiips://www.federalre ig ster.t?ov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-

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
