Per this letter, the Director is requiring additional nutrient monitoring at the subject facility's effluent as specified below: • Monitoring for total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and Nitrite+Nitrate (NO2+NO3) shall be increased to monthly starting on April 1, 2019 and lasting through December 31, 2020. Nutrient monitoring shall revert to sampling requirements as specified in the facility's NPDES permit starting January 1, 2021. The additional monitoring results shall be submitted in the Discharge Monitoring Reports. The additional monitoring will be used to support water quality modeling efforts within the Cape Fear River Basin. Specifically, the additional monitoring will help ensure that nutrient loadings from permitted facilities are represented as accurately as possible in the model, which will include both point and non-point sources.
