Dear Mr.Young:
Enclosed with this letter are copies of the draft NPDES permit renewals for your facilities. Please review
the drafts carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions they contain.
There are several changes from existing permits, including the following:
• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standards (WQS)Triennial Review was approved by the NC
Environmental Management Committee(EMC) on November 13, 2014. The US EPA
subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016 with some exceptions. The NC
Division of Water Resources NPDES Permitting Unit is required to implement the new dissolved
metal standards in all permits public noticed after April 6, 2016.The new standards for most
metals include acute standards.Further,the freshwater standards for several metals are expressed
as the dissolved form of the metals, and seven metals have hardness-dependent equations. As a
result,the NPDES Permitting Unit will need site-specific effluent hardness data and instream
hardness data,upstream of the discharge, for each facility monitoring these metals in order to
calculate permit limitations. Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling,upstream of the
discharge, has been added to each permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly. See Special
Condition A. (1.)Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements for effluent and instream
sampling requirements.
• Sampling by the EPA in 2015 and stormwater monitoring data from several quartz/feldspar mines
in the region, in conjunction with the new dissolved metals standards noted above, indicates
aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc are pollutants of concern and quarterly monitoring has
been added to the permits.
• The NPDES Standard Conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. They can
be found at the following link if you would like to review them in conjunction with this draft permit.

• Since your facilities are not subject to Federal Effluent Limitation Guidlelines,pH limits have been
changed from between 6.0& 10.0 standard units to between 6.0&9.0 standard units in accordance
with the pH WQS in 15A NCAC 02B. [See Special Condition A. (1.)]
• Please review the components list for each facility on page two,Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet.
• Please review instream monitoring locations in footnote 2 of Special Condition A. (1.) Effluent
Limitations and Monitoring Requirements.
• NC DEMLR will be evaluating stormwater data and may direct your facilities to apply for
individual NPDES wastewater coverage in lieu of stormwater general permit coverage under
NCG020000 prior to the expiration of that general permit. If that is the case, please be reminded
that DWR will require a major modification application and associated fee along with an
Engineering Alternatives Analysis for each facility at least 180 days prior to commencing discharge
of wastewater previously covered under NCG020000. Any additional discharge of fluoride must
be accounted for in a facility's fluoride allocation.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)and
program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring data electronically
using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR) internet application has
been added to your NPDES permit. [See the final Special Condition in each permit]
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having circulation in
the general Mitchell County area, soliciting public comments on these draft permits.Please provide any
written comments you may have to the following: NCDEQ/DWR,NPDES Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-1617 no later than 30 days after receipt of this draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing final permits. If you have questions concerning these draft permits,
please call me at(919) 707-3612 or by email at [e-mail].

•,h
Federal regulations require electronic submittal\9f•all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and''became effective
on December 21, 2015. `' ' `✓

5.Electronic Discharge Monitoring R port(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 thonitoring;data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until
such time that the state's eIDMR 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 submitting one signed original and a copy of the
computer printed eDMR to the following address:

Permit NC0000353
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 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).
2. Electronic Submissions
s , \ -
In accordance with 40'CFRR,122.41(1)(9),, the'"permittee.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:

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 time, 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

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
