A. (3) PROCESS CONTROL MONTHLY MONITORING AND REPORTING
REQUIREMENT
➢ The Division requires that the ORC or back-up ORC complete the process control report and
perform all required sampling.
➢ The NC DEQ Asheville Regional Office shall receive the process control reports no later than
the loth day of the following month of reporting. The form is provided in Appendix A. To
allow for greater flexibility, if circumstances change, changes to the process control log
provided in Appendix A may occur with Division approval. Upon written approval by the
Division, the updated process control log will become an enforceable part of this permit.
A. (4) INSTREAM ASSESSMENT
An instream assessment may be conducted as stipulated in 13 EHR 06892, reprinted below:
a. Not less than three months, nor more than six months, unless by written agreement of the
parties, from the effective date of the renewed permit, and upon request of the permittee,
DWR will perform an instream assessment of the receiving stream, Flat Creek, to assess both
water quality parameters and macroinvertebrates populations, DWR will notify Permittee of
the date of the instream assessment in sufficient time that Permittee can arrange for an
independent third party to attend and share samples collected. If it is determined that the
permitted discharge from the facility is not causing stream degradation resulting in water
quality standards violations, including narrative standards, which determination shall not be
unreasonably withheld, then DWR will grant Permittee discharge of up to 0.05 MGD
provided the facility is being operated in a manner such that it is compliant with its Permit.
The Permittee may voluntarily hire an independent third party to do an instream assessment
using DWR approved instream assessment methodologies at any time. Permittee will provide
DWR sufficient notice of sampling so that DWR may have their personnel attend and share
samples collected. DWR will consider such data in conjunction with its own instream data,
when making its determination of whether water quality standards are being contravened as
a result of the NPDES discharge.
b. The Permittee may make a written request that a stream assessment be performed by DWR
prior to the date established above as long as the facility is compliant with its Permit
NC0067342, but no sooner than three months from the effective date of permit. The
Permittee may hire a third party to perform an instream assessment using DWR approved
instream assessment methodologies; DWR will consider the data from the assessment when
making its compliance determinations. Continued noncompliance at the facility may prevent
DWR from approving discharge greater than 0.032 MGD.
c. If DWR denies the expanded flow above 0.032 MGD, then the Permittee. may request another
DWR assessment be done annually (from the date of the last instream assessment) thereafter.
A. (5) SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. The flow monitoring device cannot be changed without prior approval from the Division.
Flow must be logged using an electronic data logger to be installed within 6 months after the
permit effective date. Electronic data collected must be retained and available for review by

The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
Page 6 of 9
Permit NCO067342
access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
mailing address above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
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, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• 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. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Re ortin
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 and reports on paper to the Division for the period that the approved
reporting waiver request is effective.
Information on eDMR and the application for a temporary electronic reporting waiver are found on
the following web page:
