The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. A permittee may be granted a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements if the reporting facility: 1. Is physically located in a geographic area (i.e., zip code or census tract) that is identified as under- served for broadband internet access in the most recent National Broadband Map (http://www.broadbandmap.gov/) from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); or 2. Demonstrates that such electronic reporting of the monitoring data and reports would pose an unreasonable burden or expense to the NPDES-permitted facility. Approved waivers from electronic reporting are temporary and will include an expiration date. The permittee may re -apply for a new waiver if the conditions above are met. Re-application should be submitted to the Division no later than sixty (60) days prior to the electronic reporting waiver's expiration. Approved electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Upon the electronic reporting waiver's expiration, if the permittee did not re -apply for and receive a new temporary waiver, then the permittee must report the required NPDES monitoring data and reports electronically using the state's web -based electronic reporting tool (for DMRs use the eDMR system) or EPA's web -based electronic reporting tool (for the CWA § 316(b) Annual Reports only). Electronic reporting waivers are waivers from electronic reporting only. An NPDES-regulated ated permittee receiving an electronic reporting waiver must provide the required monitoring data on paper forms or formats approved by the Director. Failure to report is an enforceable violation of the NPDES permit. To apply for a tempormy waiver from electronic reporting, please provide the following information: 1.

Brief Explanation for Waiver Request: If the space provided is not sufficient, attach the explanation on a separate sheet ofpaper. Due to reorganization within NCDOT, the Roadside Environmental Unit has become responsible for the Rosman Maintenance Facility groundwater treatment system. _The Roadside unit subsequently has hired Amec Foster Wheeler to manage the permit and system. Although NCDOT appears to have an eDMR account, due to the reorganization, it is not clear how to access the account. Brianna Young, who —handles the permit in the Raleigh Central Office, is trying to facilitate access, so that —Amec Foster can complete the eDMRs with the current NCDOT account. We are waiting for further guidance from the Central Office, and until then, we need a waiver —for the eDMR. Amec Foster Wheeler will continue to provide paper DMRs until the —account can be accessed or some other solution is suggested. I have also attached the delegation of authority form for your reference. 4. Copy of the Relevant FCC Information If applicable, attach a copy of the relevant FCC information, from the most recent FCC report addressing such issues, identifying the zip code or census tract where the facility is located as being under -served for broadband internet access.
