RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MUNICIPAL NPDES PERMITS
EPA Form 2A must be used for your permit renewal application. Expanded effluent testing is also
required if you have a permitted flow > 1 MGD or if you received pretreatment wastewater:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA) tests; submit results with your renewal
application. The PPA must include:
Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals that are not normally monitored
through your NPDES permit.
Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
i= Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
PLEASE NOTE: If your permit already contains a requirement for annual PPA testing,
you should not need to conduct any additional tests. Any PPA data submitted cannot
be over 4 % years old.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an orgA- n otb(: n your normal test species; submit
the results with your renev Al application. Y.'a' ` the .zl uatic Toxicology Unit at (919) 743-
8401 for guidance regarding the addit ono es,, s. The ests should be conducted
