A. (2) WASTEWATER TREATMENT CONDITION
[15A NCAC 02U .0300 et seq., 02U .0400 et seq.]
The permittee shall design, construct and operate the wastewater treatment plant for this facility in
accordance with the State's requirements for treatment of wastewater for "use of reclaimed water"
as described in 15A NCAC 02U .0300 and 02U .0400, with the following exceptions:
1. Compliance with the limitations described in 15A NCAC 02U .0301 shall not be required by
this permit, but that the facility must meet the permit limitations as described on the effluent
limits page of this NPDES Permit.
2. Continuous on-line monitoring and recording for turbidity or particle count as described in 15A
NCAC 02U .0401 shall not be required by this permit.
3. The design, construction and operation of a "five-day side -stream detention pond" as described
in 15A NCAC 02U .0402 shall not be required by this permit.
The objective of this condition in this NPDES permit is to require that all treatment components for
this plant be appropriately designed, sized, built, and operated so that effluent quality would
consistently approach the levels described in 15A NCAC 02U .0301. Compliance with this
condition will be evaluated by examining the specific details of the design components of the plant,
the facilities actually installed, the operation of the plant upon treatment of wastewater, and the
effluent quality performance of the plant
A. (3) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[NCGS 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

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.) and 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

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),
Page 4of6

Permit NC0087700
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

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 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

(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-
