McLawhorn, Chairman The Neuse River Compliance Association PO Box 1410 Clayton, North Carolina 27528-1410 Dear Mr. McLawhorn: ROY COOPER Govei nor MICHAEL S. REGAN Seci etag LINDA CULPEPPER Inteiun Dueclor Subject: Modification of Permit No. NCC000001 Neuse River Compliance Association Total Nitrogen limits in the NRCA group permit are, by rule, derived from the limits found in the members' individual NPDES permits. SGWASA's TN limit has changed as the result of Stage 1 requirements in the Falls Lake nutrient strategy. Therefore, Division is modifying the group permit to revise SGWASA's individual holdings and the group's Estuary TN Limit, effective January 1, 2018. This minor permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). The permit includes the following changes: • The active discharge allocation for SGWASA is reduced to equal its nitrogen limit under the Falls Lake strategy, effective for CY2016. The allocation removed is converted to reserve status and listed with other reserve allocations near the end of the Appendix A table. This reserve allocation is still held by SGWASA. • The reduction in SGWASA's estuary allocation is 3,6181b/yr and is deducted from the Association's Estuary TN Limit and added to the group's reserve allocations. Its total allocation, that is, the sum of active and reserved values, does not change. • References to NCDENR and EEP in the permit were updated to reflect name changes since the permit was last issued. All other terms and conditions contained in the current permit remain unchanged and in full effect. The Associations Estuary TN Allocation remains at 1,195,428 lb/yr. Due to SGWASA's revised limit, the group's Estuary TN Limit is reduced to 1,187,2131b/yr.

DEFINITIONS (a.) Active TN Allocation: Allocation that is included in calculation of TN Load Limits. Allocation held by a permittee is active by default but may be designated as reserve allocation by the Division or at the request of the permittee. (See also Reserve TN Allocation.) (b.) Allocation (or "TN Allocation"): (1) The mass quantity (as of TN) that a discharger or group of dischargers (such as the Association) is potentially allowed to release to surface waters in accordance with the Neuse River rule. TN Allocations may be expressed as Estuary TN Allocation or as the equivalent Discharge TN Allocation; also as active or reserve allocation. (2) In practice, the term can refer to a permittee's or group's allocation as a whole or to some lesser quantity. (c.) Association: The Neuse River Compliance Association, a not-for-profit corporation comprised of NPDES-permitted dischargers in the Neuse River Basin; established voluntarily under the Neuse Wastewater rule to meet the aggregate Estuary TN Allocation of its Co -Permittee Members. (d.) Co -Permittee Members: Those NPDES dischargers that for a given calendar year are members of the Association and are listed in Appendix A of this permit. (e.) Discharge TN Allocation: TN Allocation specified as applying at the point of discharge (or "end - of -pipe"). (f.) Discharge TN Load: Actual TN Load measured at a Co -Permittee Member's point of discharge (or "end -of -pipe"). (g.) Estuary: The Neuse River estuary, which extends from approximately Streets Ferry to the Pamlico Sound. (h.) Estuajy TN Allocation: TN Allocation specified as applying at the estuary. A Co -Permittee Member's Estuary TN Allocation is equivalent to its Discharge TN Allocation multiplied by the applicable Transport Factor. (i.) Estuary TN Limitation: The sum of active TN allocations held by the Association and its Co - Permittee Members (group limit) or a Co -Permittee Member (individual limits), as listed in Appendix A of this permit. Estuary TN Load: TN Load estimated to be delivered to the estuary. A Co -Permittee Member's Estuary TN Load is equivalent to its Discharge TN Load multiplied by the applicable Transport Factor. (k.) Limitation (or "TN Limit(ation)" or "TN Load Limit(ation)"): The mass quantity of TN specified in an NPDES permit as the maximum that an individual discharger or group of dischargers is authorized to discharge to surface waters. The TN Limitation is the sum of active allocations held by an individual Co -Permittee Member (m the case of individual limitations) or held in the aggregate by the Association and its Co -Permittee Members (m the case of the group limitation). For the purposes of this permit, TN Load Limits are expressed in terms of Estuary TN Load. (1.) Load (or "TN Load"): The actual mass quantity (as of TN) that a discharger or group of dischargers releases into surface waters of the Neuse River Basin. TN Loads may be expressed as Discharge TN Load or as the equivalent Estuary TN Load. (m.) Neuse Wastewater Rule: The Neuse River Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Wastewater Discharge Requirements rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234) (n.) Regionalization: The consolidation of wastewater collection and/or treatment systems that results in the elimination of one or more NPDES-permitted discharges. (o.) Reserve TN Allocation: Allocation that is not included in calculation of TN Limits. The Division may designate allocation as reserve when water quality -based limits established to prevent Permit No. NCC000001 Part I, Page 2 of 5 localized impacts render that allocation inactive; when treatment of the allocation as active would be inconsistent with the Neuse Wastewater rule. (See also Active TN Allocation.) (p.) Total Maximum Daily Load (of TMDL): (1) Generally, the allowable load of a pollutant that can be discharged to a water body without causing loss of that water's designated uses. (2) In the context of this permit, refers to Phase II of the Total Maximum Daily Load for Total Nitrogen to the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on March 19, 2002, and subsequent revisions approved by the EPA. (q.) Total Nitrogen (TN): The sum of the organic, nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia species of nitrogen in a water or wastewater. i (r.) Transport Factor: Fraction of the TN in a discharge that is predicted to reach the estuary, as determined by the Division. (s.) Water Quality -Based Effluent Lunitations (WOBELs): Limitations calculated specifically to ensure that a discharge does not cause an exceedance of water quality standards either in the vicinity of the discharge or further downstream. In the context of this permit, applies only to Total Nitrogen. A.(2.) CO -PERMITTEES AND TN ALLOCATIONS (a.) Co -Permittees to this permit shall be the Neuse River Compliance Association (the "Association") and each of its Co -Permittee Members The Co -Permittee Members, the Transport Factors assigned to each, the Members' individual TN allocations, and the Association Estuary TN Allocation shall be as listed in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated into this permit in its entirety. (b.) Upon timely and proper notification by the Association as described elsewhere in this permit, the Division shall revise Appendix A to incorporate changes in Association membership, allowable changes in TN Allocations, or reapportionment by the Association. (i.) Changes in membership. (A) Enrollment. In the event that a discharger is admitted to the Association, the Division shall add the discharger and its TN Allocation to Appendix A as a Co -Permittee Member and adjust the Associations Estuary TN Allocation accordingly. (B) Termination. In the event that a Co -Permittee Member's membership is terminated, the Division shall delete the departing Member and its TN Allocation from Appendix A and adjust the Association's Estuary TN Allocation accordingly. (ii.) For the purposes of this permit, allowable changes in TN Allocations include those resulting from purchase of allocation from the Wetlands Restoration Fund or other authorized source; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation among the Association, its members, and non- member dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the Division. (iii.) The Association and its Co-Perrruttee Members may reapportion their TN Allocations among themselves; however, the Division shall only incorporate the corresponding changes into Appendix A when specifically requested in writing by the Association and after such changes have been incorporated h#o the affected individual permits. (c.) For the purposes of this permit, Association membership, individual or Association TN Allocations and associated limits, and allocation status (active or reserve) are effective on a calendar year basis, and any changes shall become effective no sooner than January 1 of the following calendar year. A.(3.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS (a.) Beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting no later than the expiration date, the Co - Permittees are authorized to discharge total Nitrogen (TN) from the treatment facilities listed in Appendix A subject to the following effluent limitations. Permit No. NCC000001 Part I, Page 3 of 5 (i.) Assyciation TN Limitation. In any calendar year, the Association's Estuary TN Load shall not exceed its Estuary TN Limitation as specified in Appendix A. Association TN Limitation: For any calendar year, Association Estuary TN Load < Association Estuary TN Limitation where Association Estuary TN Load (or Limitation) = Sum of Estuary TN Loads (or Limitations) for All Co -Permittee Members and the Association (ii.) Co -Permittee Member TN Limitations. In any calendar year, a Co -Permittee Member shall be in compliance with its Estuary TN Limitation in Appendix A if: (A) the Association Estuary TN Load complies with the Association Estuary TN Limitation in Appendix A, or (B) in the event that the Association Estuary TN Load exceeds its Estuary TN Limitation, the Co -Permittee Member's Estuary TN Load does not exceed that Member's Estuary TN Limitation in Appendix A. (b.) Individual WQBELs: If the Division determines that a Co -Permittee Member's TN discharge has reasonable potential to cause localized water quality impacts, it may determine an individual water quality -based TN Limit for the Member pursuant to Neuse rule (specifically, T15A NCAC 02B .0234(6)(c), (7)(g), and (8)(h)). The Division will then propose to incorporate the new limit into the Member's individual NPDES permit and this group permit according to standard permitting procedures. Once the individual WQBEL becomes effective in this group permit, the Member is subject to the new limit in lieu of the Association TN Limit. If a Member's individual WQBEL is less than its active TN allocation, the difference is designated as reserve allocation. (c.) Other Individual Limitations. In the event that a Co -Permittee Member's membership in the Association is terminated, the departing Member shall no longer be eligible for coverage under this permit and shall become subject to the TN limitation set forth in its individual NPDES permit. (i.) Termination of co -permittee status and re -imposition of a discharger's individual TN limitation shall become effective only at the beginning of a calendar year (January 1). (ii.) The Association shall notify the Division if it determines that any Member will depart at the end of a calendar year and shall provide an accounting of all allowable changes in the Member's TN Allocation since the most recent issuance of the departing Member's individual NPDES permit. (iii.) Upon receipt of the notification and accounting described above, the Division shall modify the TN limitation in the departing Member's individual NPDES permit as necessary, effective January 1 of the succeeding year, to reflect all allowable changes in the outgoing Member's TN Allocation and shall also modify Appendix A of this permit accordingly. A.(4.) MONITORING REQUIREMENTS (a.) Each Co -Permittee Member shall continue to monitor its discharge(s) and report the results to the Division as specified in its individual NPDES permit. (b.) The Association shall assemble the results of its Co -Permittee Members and report the combined results to the Division as specified in Condition A.(5.), below. Permit No. NCC000001 Part I, Page 4 of 5 A.(5.) REPORTING REQUIREMENTS (a.) The Association shall serve as the primary point of contact between the Division and the Co - Permittee Members on matters related to this permit, unless otherwise noted.

(b.) Notification of Membership/ Allocation Changes. No later than July 1 of each year, the Association shall request modification of this permit to reflect changes in membership or TN allocations to become effective in the following calendar year. The Association may revise its request through its Mid -Year Report or other proper written notification. (c.) Mid -Year Report. No later than September 30 of each year, the Association shall submit a mid- year report to the Division. The report shall include, at a minimum, the following information: (i.) for the period beginning July 1 of the preceding year and ending June 30 of the current year, a report, for informational purposes only, of each Co -Permittee Member's Discharge and Estuary TN Loads and the Association's Estuary TN Load; this requirement is waived if the Association's Estuary TN Load for the previous calendar year was less than 80 percent of the TN Limitation in that year; and (ii.) notification of any further changes in Association membership or TN Allocations to become effective in the following calendar year. (d.) Year -End Report. No later than March 31 of each year, the Association shall submit a year-end report to the Division. The report shall include, at a minimum, the following information for the previous calendar year: (i.) for the period from January 1 through December 31 of the preceding year, a report of each Co -Permittee Member's Discharge and Estuary TN Loads and the Association's Estuary TN Load; (ii.) a summary of changes in Association membership; and (iii.) a summary of all regionalization of discharges, purchases, sales, trades, leases, and other transactions affecting the TN Allocations of the Association or its Co -Permittee Members. (e.) Five -Year Report. No later than July 1, 2018, in conjunction with application for renewal of this permit, the Association shall submit a 5L; year report to the Division.

Permit No. NCC000001 Appendix A, Page 3 of 3 APPENDIX A (CONTINUED) CO -PERMITTEES, TRANSPORT FACTORS, AND TN ALLOCATIONS - NEUSE RIVER COMPLIANCE ASSOCIATION Footnotes 1. Craven County is currently leasing Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation from the NRCA until the proposed facility is constructed and a determination is made as to the allocation needed for its discharge. See footnote 3 regarding the TN allocation held by the NRCA. 2. Progress Energy's Lee Steam Plant is allowed a baseline TN load of 3,2601b/yr at its Outfall 001 (2,2821b/yr at the estuary). Progress leased additional allocation from the NRCA to ensure coverage for TN discharges from its Rotamix system through 2013. It ceased operation of that system in 2012 The allocations listed in this table and the amounts to be reported by Progress under this permit pertain strictly to any load in excess of the baseline allowance. 3. In 1999, Burlington Industries deeded its TN allocation (since adjusted to 24,4001b/yr at the estuary) for use by the Association and its Co -Permittee Members. At present, the allocation is a group holding assigned to this group permit and is not associated with any individual permit. Unless noted otherwise in this Appendix A, the entire amount of the allocation is active and is included in the Association Estuary TN Allocation and Limit. 4.

Craven County is currently leasing Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation from the NRCA until the proposed facility is constructed and a determination is made as to the allocation needed for its discharge. See footnote 3 regarding the TN allocation held by the NRCA. 2. Progress Energy's Lee Steam Plant is allowed a baseline TN load of 3,2601b/yr at its Outfall 001 (2,2821b/yr at the estuary). Progress leased additional allocation from the NRCA to ensure coverage for TN discharges from its Rotamix system through 2013. It ceased operation of that system in 2012 The allocations listed in this table and the amounts to be reported by Progress under this permit pertain strictly to any load in excess of the baseline allowance. 3. In 1999, Burlington Industries deeded its TN allocation (since adjusted to 24,4001b/yr at the estuary) for use by the Association and its Co -Permittee Members. At present, the allocation is a group holding assigned to this group permit and is not associated with any individual permit. Unless noted otherwise in this Appendix A, the entire amount of the allocation is active and is included in the Association Estuary TN Allocation and Limit. 4.

Permit No. NCC000001 Appendix B, Page 1 of 3 APPENDIX B POINT SOURCE FACILITIES ASSIGNED TOTAL NITROGEN ALLOCATIONS NEUSE RIVER BASIN The following is a list of all treatment facilities that, as holders of individual NPDES permits in 1995, are assigned a Total Nitrogen (TN) allocation pursuant to state rule T15A NCAC 2B .0234, Neuse Raver Basin Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy - Wastezuater Discharge Requirements, adopted December 1997 and revised October 2002. The rule establishes an aggregate Estuary TN Allocation of 1.64 million pounds TN per year for these facilities and prescribes how the allocation is to be divided among the individual facilities. The allocations, individual and aggregate, become effective with calendar year 2003. The Total Maximum Daily Load for Total Nitrogen to the Neuse Raver Estuary, North Carolina, approved by the USEPA Region 4 in July 1999, also concludes that this aggregate allocation is the maximum allowable contribution from point source dischargers to the Neuse River estuary.

The limit in one member's permit has changed due to requirements in the Falls Lake nutrient strategy. The Division is modifying the group permit to revise that member's individual limit and the group's Estuary TN Limit accordingly. The total allocation for the Association is unchanged, but the Estuary TN Limit is reduced. This modification is effective on January 1, 2018. The permit's expiration date remains at December 31, 2018. EXPLANATION OF CHANGES The revised Appendix A reflects the following changes for calendar year 2018: • The active discharge allocation for SGWASA is reduced to equal its nitrogen limit under the Falls Lake strategy, effective for CY2016. The allocation removed is converted to reserve status and listed with other reserve allocations near the end of the Appendix A table. This reserve allocation is still held by SGWASA. • The reduction in SGWASA's estuary allocation is 3,618 lb/yr and is deducted from the Associations Estuary TN Limit and added to the group's reserve allocations. Its total allocation, that is, the sum of active and reserved values, does not change. • References to NCDENR and EEP in the permit were updated to reflect name changes since the permit was last issued. SGWASA discharges in the Falls Lake watershed and is subject to nutrient control requirements under both the Falls Lake and Neuse River estuary nutrient strategies. The more stringent Falls Lake, Stage 1, requirements went into effect with CY2016, and SGWASA's TN discharge limit decreased from 58,599 lb/yr to 22,420 lb/yr (a reduction of 36,179 lb/yr at end of pipe). The NRCA permit must reflect limits contained in the members' individual NPDES permits. Appendix A of the group permit is modified to show the reduction in SGWASA's limit/ active allocation at end of pipe and at the estuary. The amount deducted is listed as reserve allocation m the last section of the table. The Associations Estuary TN limit is reduced by the same 3,618 lb/yr as SGWASA's estuary allocation (10% transport factor) and becomes effective January 1, 2018. SGWASA still holds its reserve allocation, so the Total Estuary Allocation remains at 1,195,428 lb/yr. These changes to the permit do not affect the Association's Estuary TN Allocation/ Limit. The Allocation and Limit, which first became effective on January 1, 2013, will remain at the current levels of 1,195,428 lb/yr and 1,190,831 lb/yr, respectively. --- end of fact sheet addendum --- 12/20/2017
