Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0039578
TWSA Plant#1
Jackson County
Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Mr. Bryson:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and
conditions it contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the
following:
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA)results,monitoring requirements for
copper,zinc and silver have been removed from the permit [See A.(1)].
• The Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority(TWSA)reported Total Silver at less than
detection, with a detection level< 5 tg/L in the Discharge Monitoring Reports and
Effluent Pollutant Scans. TWSA's allowable discharge concentration is 1.71 µg/L for
Total Silver. DWR's laboratory identifies the Practical Quantification Limits (PQL) for
Total Silver as 1 µg/L. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0500, all data generated for
Total Silver shall be reported to the lower reporting level of the procedure. TWSA should
test for Total Silver down to the recommended PQL and as long as TWSA reports
effluent Total Silver less than the PQL or a lower reporting level of the procedure, TWSA
will be considered in compliance with its allowable discharge concentration. No limit has
been added to the permit for silver. Quarterly silver monitoring has been maintained.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (3.),Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit,please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A. (4.)has been modified to include the specific three years in which
the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2020,2021,and 2022).In addition,at
the end of the Special Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for
municipal permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)] have been
added.

• 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 Special Condition A.
(6.)].
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements [See A. (1.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
The NPDES Standard Conditions(Parts II, III, and IV) are not included with this draft. The latest
version is available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF
file.
Concurrent with this notification the Division is publishing a notice in a newspaper having
circulation in the general Jackson County area, soliciting public comments on this draft
permit. 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 a final permit. If you have questions concerning this

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that Municipal
facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are also subject to
additional toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR 122.21(j)(5). The US EPA
requires four(4)toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test species currently required in this
permit. The multiple species tests should be conducted either quarterly for a 12-month period prior to
submittal of the permit renewal application,or four tests performed at least annually in the four and one
half year period prior to the application. These tests shall be performed,.for acute or chronic toxicity,
whichever is specified in this permit. The multiple species toxicity,,testjresults shall be filed with the Aquatic

purposes. - . .
For eDMR submissions,the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user account

Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make the
following certification [4O'CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED:
"I certify, under penalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my
direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel
