Permit NC0028169
A. (3.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
[15A NCAC 02B.0200]
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 December 2010 or subsequent versions). The monitoring
shall be performed as a Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas) 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). The tests will be performed during the months of February, May,
August, and November. 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.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, 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.
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 TGE6C. Additionally, DWR Form AT-2 (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, North Carolina 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 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 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, 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. 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.
Page 5 of 8

Permit NC0028169
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.
A. (4.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE 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.) (a)]
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 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;
Page 6 of 8

Permit NC0028169
• 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:
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-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
4. Signatory 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 II, 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 Carolina's eDMR system,
registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account,please visit the following web page:
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr

A. (3.) DISCHARGE ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION (DAE)
[G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2)]
The Permittee shall assess potential alternatives to eliminate Whole Effluent Toxicity(WET)test
failures. This study and report are due to the Division 6 months prior to permit expiration,
concurrent with the next Application to Renew, on or before June 30,2022.
This evaluation shall assess the feasibility of all the following alternatives:
1. Connect discharge to a WWTP: Determine whether the wastewater can be discharged to a
wastewater treatment plant. Approval or disapproval from the plant operator should be acquired.
2. Obtain a Non-discharge permit: Eliminate the surface water discharge by obtaining a non-
discharge permit for spray irrigation, infiltration, or subsurface disposal (on-site drainfield,
infiltration gallery, injection wells).
3. Install Wastewater Treatment: Install improved wastewater treatment to enable the facility
effluent to consistently pass the WET test. If this is not technically feasible or cost prohibitive,
please explain and provide estimated costs.
4. Use Alternative Water Treatment Source: Obtain drinking water from another source(nearest
County, City, or Town or other wells) so the discharge or toxicity problem is eliminated.
5. Use Alternative Water Treatment Method: Install alternative and/or innovative water
treatment methods or operational improvements that do not produce toxic wastewaters. For
example, install a recycle iron/manganese filtration system with no discharge or combine discharge
with WWTP or cooling water effluents.
6. Discharge to a Larger waterbodv/Perform a dilution model: Relocate the facility's discharge
to a larger receiving waterbo iy to eliminate o' reduce toxic impacts to the receiving waterbody
given the increased dilution. If applicable, perform a dilution model to receive allowance for
stream dilution in WET test.
7. Combination of Alternatives: Employ any combination of the alternatives listed above that
would result in eliminating or decreasing toxicity until a more feasible solution becomes available.
The evaluation shall include a present-value of costs analysis for all technologically feasible options as
outlined in the Division's "Engineering Alternatives Analysis Guidance Document."This Document can
be found at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes/permits.
The Division requests this evaluation to determine whether economical and technologically feasible
alternatives exists available to the Permittee to address aquatic toxicity in the plant's effluent.
Based on the evaluation, please identify,prioritize and tabulate viable alternatives and present their
implementation schedule and project timeline for alternatives,beginning with the preferred(1st)
alternative. The Permittee shall submit the Discharge Alternatives Evaluation with the next application
to renew on or before June 30,2023 to:

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: http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-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:

Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section

properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons
who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information,the
information submitted is,to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am
