A. (4) ACUTE TOXICITY MONITORING ONLY — (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 02B. 0500 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on aquarter lX basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina
Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent
Concentration" (Revised -December, 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead
Minnow (Pamephales promelas) 24 hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time
significant acute mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). The tests will be
performed during the months of February, May, August, and November. These months signify the first month
of each three month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent samples 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.
The parameter code for Pamephales promelas is TGE6C. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit
condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Form (MR -1) -for the month in which it was performed, using
the appropriate parameter code. Additionally,// DWQ Form AT -2` (onginal) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Department of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1621
i
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall'be filed with the Water, Sciences Section no later than 30 days after
the end of the reporting period for which�the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supportin chemical/physical measurements performed
m
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employeii for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during any month, the Permittee will complete the
information located at the -top of the,aquatic to'xicrty (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number,
pipe number,/county, and -the the month/year of the rep6tt math the -notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the
form. The rep ll be submitted to the,Water Sciences -Section at the address cited above.
Should the Permittee fail to monito ' during a month, in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin, immediately. Upon, submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to
quarterly in the montbs,specified above,
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified
to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
I
NOTE: Failure to achieve test/ conditions as specified in the cited document, such as nummum control organism
survival and appropriate environental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial
monitoring.

Permit NCO061719
A. (5) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports.
The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part H of this permit
(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2:) grid Section'E. (5.) (a)1
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 submittmg 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 pernuttee 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 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).
Page 7of10

Permit NC0061719
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9), the permnttee must identify the initial recipient at the time of each
electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify the initial recipient
for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity (EPA or
the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity for receiving
electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of
electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic
reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule is found at
https://www.federalre ig ster gov/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharge-elimmation-
system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
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 tune, 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•
http Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/wafer-resources/ed=
4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)]
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part 11, Section
B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part H, Section B. (11.)(b). A
person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account and
login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's eDMR system,
registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following web page.
