The Division of Water resources agreed that the establishment of an electronic monitoring protocol for so many facilities was a significant undertaking. As such,the Division agreed to exercise enforcement discretion until March 31,2016 so that Charlotte Water may continue their efforts toward ultimate electronic submittal. Since that time, Charlotte Water contacted the Division by letter on February 22,2016 requesting a further extension of this deadline. The new request was made due to technical difficulties with setup and implementation of a new Laboratory Information Management System(LIMS). As a result of the communications between the Division and the Charlotte Water,it was obvious that you are making a significant and sustained effort to comply with the electronic permitting requirements in the permits. So, the Division has decided to extend the timeframe we will exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the electronic reporting condition in the referenced permits. Thus,pursuant to the requirements of the referenced permits, no later than June 30,2016, Charlotte Water, shall begin submitting discharge monitoring reports electronically using the Division's eDMR application system for the following permitted facilities: NC0024937 Charlotte-Sugar Creek WWTP NC0024970 McAlpine Creek NC0030210 Mallard Creek WWTP NC0036277 McDowell Creek WWTP NC0084387 Lee S.Duke WTP NC0084549 Franklin WTP NC0069523 Union County-Tallwood Estates WWTP NC0085359 Union County-Twelve Mile Creek WWTP NC0085812 Union County-Grassy Branch WWTP State of North Carolina Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 • • Ms.Jarrell March 31, 2016 Page 2 of 2 The following permitted facilities do not have an electronic reporting permit condition and are required to begin using eDMR by December 21, 2016: NC0024945 Irwin Creek WWTP NC0069841 Union County-Crooked Creek WWTP#2 We hope this communication resolves your concerns.
