SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
PART E. TOXICITY TESTING DATA
POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the facility's discharge points 1) POTWs with
a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1 0 mgd, 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403), or 3) POTWs required by the
permitting authority to submit data for these parameters
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12 -month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two species), or the results from four tests
performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity,
depending on the range of receiving water dilution Do not include information on combined sewer overflows in this section All information reported must be based on data
collected through analysis conducted using 40 CFR Part 136 methods In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate
QA/QC requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years If a whole effluent toxicity test conducted during the past four and one-
half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again Rather, provide the information requested in question E 4 for previously
submitted information If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested

shall be limited and monitored by the Permittee as specified below:
EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
PARAMETER Monthly Weekly Daily Measurement Sample Sample

Net TN Load',' Monitor and report (Ib/month) Monthly Calculated E6
64,210 lb/year z Annually Calculated E6
Footnotes
1. Sample location E6 - Net WWTP Effluent to river.
2. The Net TN Load discharged to the Neuse River shall be calculated as follows
Net TN Load = TN Load (out=all 002) - TN Credits
where TN Credits = TN Load to East Lake (outfall 005) - Subsurface TN Load to surface waters
TN Loads at outfalls 002 and 005 shall be calculated as prescribed in condition A. (7), Calculation Of Total Nitrogen
Loads. Subsurface TN Loads shall be determined as described in paragraphs d. and e. below.
3. See related TN monitoring requirements in conditions A (2) (outfall 002) and A (4) (outfall 005)
(b.) The Net TN Load at internal outfall 006 shall be the measure of the Permittee's total nitrogen
discharge to surface waters for the purpose of determining compliance with the TN Load limit
established pursuant to the Neuse River Basin Nutrient Management Strategy.
(c.) The New Bern WWTP has the ability to divert treated effluent from its Neuse River discharge to
the Martin Marietta (East Lake) Quarry, thereby reducing its surface water discharge and the
associated nitrogen load. The Permittee may receive credit for this reduction, as described in this
condition, in order to comply with the Net TN Load limitation.
(d.) Beginning upon the effective date of this permit and lasting until expiration, the Permittee will be
credited for 100% of the nitrogen load diverted from the Neuse River discharge (Outfall 001) to
the Quarry (Outfall 005); that is, the Subsurface TN Load is assumed to equal zero. In the event
that the permit expires and is administratively extended, the Permittee will continue to receive
100% credit for the diversion until the effective date of the subsequently issued permit renewal.
(e.) The Pernuttee may request nitrogen credits beyond this permit term. In order to receive
continued credits, the Permittee must develop an acceptable methodology for estimating
subsurface nitrogen loads and determining appropriate annual credits on an on-going basis. An
approvable methodology must (1) provide a reasonable estimate of the Subsurface TN Load
delivered from the quarry to the Neuse River in a given year and (2) account for uncertainty in
the estimate in order to ensure that credits do not exceed actual diversions from surface waters.
The following steps are voluntary. However, all steps are required for continued credits, and the
dates are intended to provide sufficient tirne for Division reviews. In order to qualify for
continued nitrogen credits and avoid a lapse in credits, the Permittee must:
(i.) No later than June 30, 2014, submit to the Division a conceptual framework for the proposed
subsurface load estimate methodology.
(ii.) No later than January 1, 2017, submit to the Division a written request for continued credits
with a detailed description of the proposed methodology.

(iii.) Submit four copies of each of the above documents by the specified dates to the Division at:
NC Division of Water Resources
NPDES Complex Permitting Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
(f.) Beginning upon Division approval, or as specified in the approval, the Permittee will be credited
for nitrogen load diverted from the Neuse River discharge (Outfall 001) to the Quarry (Outfall
005), in accordance with the approved methodology.
(g.) Nitrogen credits shall accrue on a monthly basis and shall be valid only for the calendar year in
which they accrue.
(h.) The nitrogen credits described in this condition do not account for nitrogen diversions to the
Mackilwean Turf Farm or other reclaimed water irrigation facilities. Any TN Load calculations
should also reflect such diversions of nitrogen away from surface waters.
A.(6.) INSTREAM MONITORING
(a.) Instream monitoring requirements in this NPDES permit shall be provisionally waived so long as
the Permittee remains a member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association and the Association
continues to function as approved by the Division and the Environmental Management
Commission. If the Permittee does not participate in the Association or if the Association ceases to
function, the instream monitoring requirements in this permit become effective immediately; and
the Division may reopen this permit by administrative letter to establish additional instream
monitoring requirements it deems necessary to adequately characterize the effects of the
discharges on water quality in the receiving stream.

Permit NC002534�.
A.(7.) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
(a.) The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual TN Loads as follows:
(i.) Monthly TN Load (pounds/month) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where: TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the composite
samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the month
(MG/ month)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
(ii.) Annual TN Load (pounds/year) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year
(b.) The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and pounds/month) in the
appropriate discharge monitoring report for each month and shall report each year's results
(pounds/year) with the December report for that year.
A.(8.) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
(a.) Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse River
basin apply on a calendar year basis.
(b.) For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load limit
in this Permit if:
(i.) the Permittee's annual TN discharge is less than or equal to its TN Load limit, or
(ii.) the Permittee is a co -permittee member of a compliance association.
(c.) If the Permittee is not a co -permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's
cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any point
during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day of a
continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation.
(d.) The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes in
the Permittee's TN allocation.
(i.) Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the
Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the
Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the
Division.
(ii.) The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect
allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the
Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal
program requirements.
(iii.) Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit
modification. The Division mustreceive application no later than August 31 for changes
proposed for the following calendar year.
(iv.) Application shall be sent to:

A.(10.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
The Permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the
North Carolina Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity
In A Single Effluent Concentration" (Revised -July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall
be performed as a Mysid Shrimp (Mysidopsis bahia) 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). Effluent samples for self-monitoring purposes must be obtained during
representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests will be performed during the
months of March, June, September, and December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR -1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code
TGE3C. Additionally, DWR Form AT -2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention. North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental 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 supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in 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 employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the Permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow" in t1e comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted
to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitori-ig will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should tl_e Permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing,
this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months 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.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival and appropriate environmental 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.
Part I, Page 8 of 12

A.(11.) NON -DETECTION REPORTING AND DETERMINATION OF COMPLIANCE
When pursuant to this permit a pollutant analysis is conducted using an approved analytical protocol
with the appropriate minimum detection level and a result of "non-detectable" or "below quantitation
limit" is obtained, the Permittee shall record that result as reported. For the purpose of determining
compliance with a permit limit for the pollutant, the numerical value of that individual analytical result
shall be zero.
A.(12.) MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN
The permittee will develop and implement a mercury minimization plan during the term of this
permit, The MMP shall be developed 180 days from the effective day of the permit, and shall be
available for inspection on-site. A sample MMP was developed through a stakeholder review process
and has been placed on the Division website for guidance

A. (14.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
Proposed federal regulations require electronic subrruttal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II 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 (Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)l
Beginning no later than 90 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitormg data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) mternet 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-apphcation 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 DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
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.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements 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 using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be
valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted
electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary
waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
Part I, Page 11 of 12

Permit N LUU2534b
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq,/admin/bog/­ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
she issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
2. Sioatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.)(d)1
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part
II, 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
Carolinas eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit

causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [15A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Through
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharge&from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

noncontact cooling and boiler blowdown wastewaters); or
2. Contributes process wastewater which makes up five percent or more of the NPDES or non -discharge permitted
flow limn or organic capacity of the POTW treatment plant. In this context, organic capacity refers to BOD, TSS
and ammonia; or
3. Is subject to categorical standards under 40 CFR Part 403.6 and 40 CFR Parts 405-471; or
4. Is designated as such by the Permittee on the basis that the Industrial User has a reasonable potential for adversely
affecting the POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, or the POTW's effluent
limitations and conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options;
5. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraphs 1 or 2 of this definition above has no reasonable potential for adversely affecting the
POTW's operation or for violating any pretreatment standard or requirement, the POTW's effluent limitations and
conditions in its NPDES or non -discharge permit, or to limit the POTW's sludge disposal options, and thus is not a
Significant Industrial User (SIU); or
6. Subject to approval under 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b), the Permittee may determine that an Industrial User meeting
the criteria in paragraph 3 of this definition above meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403.3(v)(2) and thus is a
non-significant categorical Industrial User.
