Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0021253
Havelock WWTP
Craven County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Day:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15,2007(or as subsequently
amended).
The following changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on August 20,2024:
• Chronic Toxicity Section number referenced in Section A.(6.)was corrected from A.(7.)to A.(5.).
• Language was added to Section A.(6.)to sample for Effluent Pollutant Scans in the first three years
after permit flow expansion at each tier above 2.25 MGD.
• The submittal date for the effluent representational study plan has been adjusted forward relative
to the permit issuance [See Special Condition A.(11.)].
The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on August
20,2024:
• 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.(1.), 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 122.21(j)(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.
• 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) interne application has been added
to your NPDES permit [See Special Condition A.(13.)].
If any parts,measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable
to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty(30)days following
receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,conforming to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714).Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) 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.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources or any other Federal,
State,or Local governmental regulations.
If you have any questions concerning this permit,please contact Gary Perlmutter at(919) 707-3611 or via
email at [e-mail].

A.(5.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT(Quarterly)
[15A NCAC 02B .0200 et seq.]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
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-
014,October 2002.
The test procedure will be based on EPA Method 1007.0,Mysid,Mysidopsis bahia, Survival,Growth,and

• 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,
EPA-821-R-02-014,October 2002.
• Fecundity will not be evaluated.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered electronically using the
