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.

PART
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A.(1.) 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.

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. Allocation purchased and held in reserve for future use by the co -permittee member
5 Allocation held in reserve by the co -permittee member, under the Falls Lake nutrient strategy, a more stringent TN limit was set in its individual permit, effective CY2016.

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.

Fact Sheet - NPDES Permit
Neuse River Compliance Association
NPDES No. NCC000001
Water Resources
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Addendum - CY2018 Modification
PERMIT ACTION
Total Nitrogen limits in the NBCA group permit are, by rule, derived from the limits found in the
members' individual NPDES permits. 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.
