Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0021547
Franklin WWTP
Macon County
Grade III Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
Dear Ms. Woodard:
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:
• Facility component list was updated in the Supplement to Cover Sheet.
• Stream classification was corrected in the Supplement to Cover Sheet and Facility Map.
• Effluent sampling for bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate did not show reasonable potential to
violate water quality standards,however, the maximum predicted discharge concentration
was greater than 50% of the allowable discharge concentration. Therefore, quarterly
effluent monitoring for bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate has been added to the permit [See A.
(1)].
• The Town of Franklin reported Total Silver at less than detection, < 5 µg/L, in the three
Effluent Pollutant Scans and the Discharge Monitoring Reports. The Town's allowable
discharge concentration for Total Silver is 3.743 µg/L. DWR's laboratory identifies the
Practical Quantification Limit (PQL) for Total Silver as 1.0 µg/L. 15A NCAC 2B .0505
(e) (4)requires that all test procedures must produce detection and reporting levels that are
below the permit discharge requirements. If no approved methods are capable of achieving
a detection level below the permit discharge requirement (or allowable concentration) the
method with the lowest detection level must be used. Therefore, quarterly monitoring for
Total Silver has been added to the permit, and the Town should test for Total Silver down
to a PQL below the allowable discharge concentration [See A. (1)].
• The NC 2007-2014 Water Quality Standard(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
this permit at a monitoring frequency of quarterly [See A. (1)].
• Effluent mercury data was reviewed from June 2014 to July 2018. In accordance with the
2012 Mercury TMDL Guidance, the permittee needs to show annual average effluent
concentrations below the Water Quality Based Effluent Limitation (WQBEL) and the
individual mercury sample results below the Technology Based Effluent Limitation
(TBEL). Review of the data showed that both criteria were met for 1.65 MGD flow.
Therefore, mercury limitations and monitoring requirements have been removed from the
Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements [See A. (1)]. However, monitoring for
mercury using the low-level test method 1631 E shall continue when performing the three
Effluent Pollutant Scans [See A. (3)].
• Based on the Mercury TMDL evaluation, no Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP) is
required during this permit cycle. Therefore, the MMP Special Condition was removed
from the permit.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit; please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A. (3)has been modified to include the specific three years in which the
Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2020, 2021, 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. (4)].
• 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)that are a part of the permit are not
included in this draft document(cover,map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your
current permit except that agency and division names have been updated. 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 Macon 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

A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 1.6% at 1.65 MGD flow regime.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010,
or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September and December. These months signify the first month of each three-
month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted
final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or
ChV below the permit limit, then multiple-concentration testing shall be performed at a
minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised-December 2010) or subsequent
versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water 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, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. 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 the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based
on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of
the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the
third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement 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, minimum control organism reproduction, 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.

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 test results shall be filed with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the following address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Contact the Division's Aquatic Toxicology Branch at 919-743-8401 for guidance on conducting the
additional toxicity tests and reporting requirements. Results should also be summarized in Part E
(Toxicity Testing Data) of EPA Municipal Application Form 2A, when submitting the permit renewal
application to the NPDES Permitting Unit.
A. (4) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on
December 21, 2015.
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 Requirements [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (an
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (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
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the
state's eDMR 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:
NC DEQ / Division of Water Resources / Water Quality Permitting Section
ATTENTION: Central Files
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
Page 7 of 10

Permit NC0021547
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
In accordance with 40 CFR 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:
https://www.federalregister.goy/documents/2015/10/22/2015-24954/national-pollutant-
discharge-elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule
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 found
on the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr
