Ms. Robyn Gross
Director, Assets Management America
Badin Business Park, LLC

Pittsburg, PA 15212

Subject: Final NPDES Permit
Permit NC0004308
Badin Business Park LLC.
Stanly County
Class I Facility

Dear Ms. Gross:

The Division is forwarding herewith the NPDES permit for Badin Business Park LLC, modified
as stipulated in the Settlement Agreement executed on May 3, 2019. This permit is issued pursuant
to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).

The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on
May 14, 2019:

• Outfalls 018 and 022 were moved to the stormwater section. These two outfalls are
stormwater outfalls collecting surface runoff from the Alcoa-Badin Landfill. The outfalls
will be sampled according to the stormwater sampling protocol [see Section B.(1.)].
• Language was added to A.(5.) for outfall 019 (section A.(6.) in the 2017 final permit)
stating that” If no parameters are detected during the permit cycle, this outfall may be
removed from the permit after a public notice process and consideration of public
comments”.
• Footnote was included in section A.(1.) for outfall 005 stating that “The Division shall
consider all effluent TRC values reported below 50 µg/ L to be in compliance with the
permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to record and submit all values reported by
a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field certified), even if these values fall
below 50 µg/L”.
• Permittee has submitted priority pollutant scans (PPAs) for outfalls 005, 012, 013, 018 and
022. No parameters were detected except Total Cyanide for outfall 012 which was within
Page 2 of 3
the permit limits. No PPA is required for outfall 011 since it is the overflow for outfall 012.
Therefore, special condition A.(9.), Priority Pollutant Analysis, was removed from the final
permit.
• As a condition of the settlement agreement, Badin Business Park submitted PPA for outfall
004. No parameter was detected in the pollutant scan except Fluoride which is below the
water quality standard. Therefore, no effluent limitations and monitoring requirements
need to be added to the permit.
• The outfall coordinates in the final permit were revised (see Table 1).
• Mixing zone analysis for outfall 012 – Based on the submitted CORMIX dilution model,
special condition C.(7.), Mixing Zone (Outfall 012), was modified to include the boundary
of the mixing zone and the locations of three instream sampling stations.
• Cyanide limits for outfall 012 - Based on the submitted CORMIX dilution model, Total
Cyanide monthly average and daily maximum limits have been modified to 242 µg/L
(Dilution Factor of 48.4) and 285 µg/L (Dilution Factor of 6.12), respectively [See section
A.(3.)].
• Trichloroethylene (TCE) limits for outfall 012 - Based on the submitted CORMIX dilution
model, the monthly average and daily maximum limits for TCE have been modified to 121
µg/L (Dilution Factor of 48.4) and 181.5 µg/L (Dilution factor of 6.12), respectively [See
section A.(3.)].
• Special condition A.(8.), Monitoring Study, has been removed from the permit in light of
the fact that the Permittee has committed to conduct similar study under the Division of
Waste Management (DWM).

If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect
the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water
Resources or any other Federal, State, or Local governmental regulations. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Qais Banihani at [phone]
or via email at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

SECTION B - STORMWATER MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS [G.S. 143-215.1(A) et seq.,
15A NCAC 02H .0126 et seq.]

B.(1.) STORMWATER MONITORING REQUIREMENTS - Outfalls 002, 004, 017, 018, 020 & 022
During the period beginning on the effective date of this permit and lasting until the expiration date of this
permit, the Permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater at Outfalls 002, 004, 017, 018, 020 and 022. Such
discharges shall be controlled, limited, and monitored as specified in this permit.
1. Analytical Monitoring:
Analytical monitoring of stormwater discharges shall be performed as specified below. All analytical
monitoring shall be performed during a measureable storm event.

A measurable storm event is a storm event that results in an actual discharge from the permitted site
outfall. The previous measurable storm event must have been at least 72 hours prior. The 72-hour
storm interval does not apply if the permittee is able to document that a shorter interval is
representative for local storm events during the sampling period, and the permittee obtains approval
from the local DEMLR Regional Engineer (See Definitions).

Footnotes:
1. Measurement Frequency: Twice per year (unless other provisions of this permit prompt monthly
sampling) during a measureable storm event, until either another permit is issued for this facility or
until this permit is revoked or rescinded. If the facility is monitoring monthly because of Tier Two or
Three response actions under the previous permit, the facility shall continue a monthly monitoring
and reporting schedule in Tier Two or Tier Three status until relieved by the provisions of this permit
by DEMLR.
2. Grab samples shall be collected within the first 30 minutes of discharge. When physical separation
between outfalls prevents collecting all samples within the first 30 minutes, sampling shall begin
within the first 30 minutes, and shall continue until completed.
3. Sample Location: Samples shall be collected at each stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) unless
representative outfall status (ROS) has been granted. A copy of DEMLR’s letter granting ROS shall
be kept on site.
4. For each sampled measureable storm event, the total precipitation must be recorded. An on-site rain
gauge is required. Where isolated sites are unmanned for extended periods of time, a local rain gauge
reading may be substituted for an on-site reading.
Permit NC0004308
Page 9 of 27

The permittee shall complete the analytical samplings in accordance with the schedule specified below,
unless adverse weather conditions prevent sample collection. A minimum of 60 days must separate Period
1 and Period 2 sample dates, unless monthly monitoring has been instituted under a Tier Two response.
Inability to sample because of adverse weather conditions must be documented in the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and recorded on the DMR. The permittee must report the results from
each sample taken within the monitoring period (see Part II, Section D). However, for purposes of
benchmark comparison and Tiered response actions, the permittee shall use the analytical results from the
first sample with valid results within the monitoring period.

Footnotes:
1 Maintain semi-annual monitoring until either another permit is issued for this facility or until this
permit is revoked or rescinded. The permittee must submit an application for renewal of coverage
before the submittal deadline (180 days before expiration) to be considered for renewed coverage
under the permit. The permittee must continue analytical monitoring throughout the permit renewal
process, even if a renewal permit is not issued until after expiration of this permit.
2 If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee must submit a monitoring report
indicating “No Flow” or “No Discharge” within 30 days of the end of the sampling period.
3 Monitoring periods remain consistent through the permit term and through the renewal process.

Failure to monitor semi-annually per permit terms may result in DEMLR requiring monthly monitoring
for all parameters for a specified time period. “No discharge” from an outfall during a monitoring period
does not constitute failure to monitor, as long as it is properly recorded and reported.

The permittee shall compare monitoring results to the benchmark values below. Exceedances of benchmark
values require the permittee to increase monitoring, increase management actions, increase record keeping,
and/or install stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in a tiered program. See below the descriptions
of Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three response actions. In the event that DEMLR releases the permittee from
continued monthly monitoring and reporting under Tier Two or Tier Three, DEMLR’s release letter may
remain in effect through subsequent reissuance of this permit, unless the release letter provides for other
conditions or duration.

Benchmark Values for Analytical Monitoring
Discharge Characteristics Units Benchmark
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) mg/L 100
Chemical Oxygen Demand mg/L 120
Aluminum, Total Recoverable mg/L 0.75
Total Cyanide mg/L 0.02
Total Fluoride mg/L 6

The benchmark values above are not permit limits but should be used as guidelines for implementation of the
permittee’s SPPP. An exceedance of a stormwater benchmark value is not a permit violation; however,
failure to respond to the exceedance as outlined in this permit is a violation of permit conditions.

Tier One
If: The first valid sampling results are above a benchmark value for any parameter at any outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Conduct a stormwater management inspection of the facility within two weeks of receiving sampling
results.
2. Identify and evaluate possible causes of the benchmark value exceedance.
3. Identify potential, and select the specific feasible: source controls, operational controls, or physical
improvements to reduce concentrations of the parameters of concern.
4. Implement the selected feasible actions within two months of the inspection.
5. Record each instance of a Tier One response in the SPPP. Include the date and value of the benchmark
exceedance, the inspection date, the personnel conducting the inspection, the selected actions, and the
date the selected actions were implemented.
6. Note: Benchmark exceedances for a different parameter separately trigger a tiered response.

Tier Two
If: The first valid sampling results from two consecutive monitoring periods are above the benchmark
values for any specific parameter at a specific discharge outfall;
Then: The permittee shall:
1. Repeat all the required actions outlined above in Tier One.
2. Immediately institute monthly monitoring and reporting for all parameters. The permittee shall
conduct monthly monitoring at every outfall where a sampling result exceeded the benchmark value
for two consecutive samples. Monthly (analytical and qualitative) monitoring shall continue until
three consecutive sample results are below the benchmark values or within benchmark range.
3. If no discharge occurs during the sampling period, the permittee is required to submit a monthly
monitoring report indicating “No Flow” to comply with reporting requirements.
4. Alternatively, in lieu of steps 2 and 3, the permittee may, after two consecutive exceedances, exercise
the option of contacting the DEMLR Regional Engineer as provided below in Tier Three. The Regional
Engineer may direct the response actions on the part of the permittee as provided in Tier Three,
including reduced or additional sampling parameters or frequency.
5. Maintain a record of the Tier Two response in the SPPP.
6. Continue Tier Two response obligations throughout the permit renewal process.

Permit NC0004308
Page 11 of 27

Tier Three
If: The valid sampling results required for the permit monitoring periods exceed the benchmark value for
any specific parameter at any specific outfall on four occasions, the permittee shall notify the DEMLR
Regional Engineer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the fourth analytical results;
Then: The Division may but is not limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring and reporting frequency for
some or all of the parameters herein;
• require sampling of additional or substitute parameters;
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize impacts on
receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion;
• require the permittee to continue Tier Three obligations through the permit renewal process.

2. Qualitative Monitoring Requirements
The purpose of qualitative monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP) and identify new potential sources of stormwater pollution. Qualitative
monitoring of stormwater outfalls must be performed during a measurable storm event.

Qualitative monitoring requires a visual inspection of each stormwater outfall regardless of representative
outfall status. Qualitative monitoring shall be performed semi-annually as specified below, and during
required analytical monitoring events (unless the permittee is required to perform further qualitative
monitoring per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below). Inability to monitor because of adverse
weather conditions must be documented in the SPPP and recorded on the Qualitative Monitoring Report
form (see Adverse Weather in Definitions). Only SDOs discharging stormwater associated with industrial
activity must be monitored (See Definitions).

In the event an atypical condition is noted at a stormwater discharge outfall, the permittee shall document
the suspected cause of the condition and any actions taken in response to the discovery. This
documentation will be maintained with the SPPP.

of this permitting cycle. The permittee must continue qualitative monitoring throughout the
permit renewal process until a new permit is issued.
2. Monitoring Location: Qualitative monitoring shall be performed at each stormwater discharge
outfall (SDO) regardless of representative outfall status.

A minimum of 60 days must separate monitoring dates, unless additional sampling has been instituted as
part of other analytical monitoring requirements in this permit.

If the permittee’s qualitative monitoring indicates that existing stormwater Best Management Practices
(BMPs) are ineffective, or that significant stormwater contamination is present, the permittee shall
investigate potential causes, evaluate the feasibility of corrective action, and implement those corrective
actions within 60 days, per the Qualitative Monitoring Response, below. A written record of the
permittee’s investigation, evaluation, and response actions shall be kept in the SPPP.

Qualitative Monitoring Response
Qualitative monitoring is for the purposes of evaluating SPPP effectiveness, identifying new potential
sources of stormwater pollution, and prompting the permittee’s response to pollution. If the permittee
repeatedly fails to respond effectively to correct problems identified by qualitative monitoring, or if
the discharge causes or contributes to a water quality standard violation, DEMLR may but is not
limited to:
• require that the permittee revise, increase, or decrease the monitoring frequency for some or
all parameters (analytical or qualitative)
• require the permittee to install structural stormwater controls;
• require the permittee to implement other stormwater control measures;
• require the permittee to perform upstream and downstream monitoring to characterize
impacts on receiving waters; or
• require the permittee implement site modifications to qualify for a No Exposure Exclusion.

Permit NC0004308
Page 13 of 27

B.(2.) STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN
The permittee shall develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP). The SPPP shall
be maintained on site unless exempted from this requirement by DEMLR. The SPPP is public information in
accordance with Part II, Standard Conditions, Section E Paragraph 10 of this permit. The SPPP shall include,
at a minimum, the following items:

1. Site Overview. The Site Overview shall provide a description of the physical facility and the potential
pollutant sources that may be expected to contribute to contamination of stormwater discharges. The Site
Overview shall contain the following:

(a) A general location map (USGS quadrangle map or appropriately drafted equivalent map), showing
the facility's location in relation to transportation routes and surface waters; the name of the receiving
waters to which the stormwater outfalls discharge, or if the discharge is to a municipal separate storm
sewer system, the name of the municipality and the ultimate receiving waters; and accurate latitude
and longitude of the points of stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity. The general
location map (or alternatively the site map) shall identify whether any receiving waters are impaired
(on the state’s 303(d) list of impaired waters) or if the site is located in a watershed for which a TMDL
has been established, and what the parameters of concern are.

(b) A narrative description of storage practices, loading and unloading activities, outdoor process areas,
dust or particulate generating or control processes, and waste disposal practices. A narrative
description of the potential pollutants that could be expected to be present in the stormwater
discharge from each outfall.

(c) A site map drawn at a scale sufficient to clearly depict: the site property boundary; the stormwater
discharge outfalls; all on-site and adjacent surface waters and wetlands; industrial activity areas
(including storage of materials, disposal areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul
roads); site topography and finished grade; all drainage features and structures; drainage area
boundaries and total contributing area for each outfall; direction of flow in each drainage area;
industrial activities occurring in each drainage area; buildings; stormwater Best Management
Practices (BMPs); and impervious surfaces. The site map must indicate the percentage of each
drainage area that is impervious, and the site map must include a graphic scale indication and north
arrow.

(d) A list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants during the previous three (3) years and any corrective
actions taken to mitigate spill impacts.

(e) Certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater
discharges. The permittee shall re-certify annually that the stormwater outfalls have been
evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. If non-stormwater discharges are present,
the permittee shall identify the source and record whether the discharge is otherwise permitted (by
rule or a different permit). The permittee shall evaluate the environmental significance of the non-
stormwater discharges and include a summary written record with the certification. The certification
statement and summary written record shall be retained with the SPPP, and shall be dated and signed
in accordance with the requirements found in Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits, Part II, Section
B.11(b).

(f) If a permanent source of non-stormwater flow is identified in accordance with B. (2) 1. (e) the permittee
shall notify DWR and DEMLR. The notification must include a description and frequency of discharge
for the identified non-stormwater flow. The notification must be submitted to the following addresses:

Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.

2. Stormwater Management Strategy. The Stormwater Management Strategy shall contain a narrative
description of the materials management practices employed which control or minimize the stormwater
exposure of significant materials, including structural and nonstructural measures. The Stormwater
Management Strategy, at a minimum, shall incorporate the following:

(a) Feasibility Study. A review of the technical and economic feasibility of changing the methods of
operations and/or storage practices to eliminate or reduce exposure of materials and processes to
rainfall and run-on flows. Wherever practical, the permittee shall prevent exposure of all storage
areas, material handling operations, and manufacturing or fueling operations. In areas where
elimination of exposure is not practical, this review shall document the feasibility of diverting the
stormwater run-on away from areas of potential contamination.

(b) Secondary Containment Requirements and Records. Secondary containment is required for: bulk
storage of liquid materials; storage in any amount of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) water priority chemicals; and storage in any amount
of hazardous substances, in order to prevent leaks and spills from contaminating stormwater runoff.
A table or summary of all such tanks and stored materials and their associated secondary containment
areas shall be maintained. If the secondary containment devices are connected to stormwater
conveyance systems, the connection shall be controlled by manually activated valves or other similar
devices (which shall be secured closed with a locking mechanism). Any stormwater that accumulates
in the containment area shall be at a minimum visually observed for color, foam, outfall staining,
visible sheens and dry weather flow, prior to release of the accumulated stormwater. Accumulated
stormwater shall be released if found to be uncontaminated by any material. Records documenting
the individual making the observation, the description of the accumulated stormwater, and the date
and time of the release shall be kept for a period of five (5) years. For facilities subject to a federal oil
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC), any portion of the SPCC Plan fully
compliant with the requirements of this permit may be used to demonstrate compliance with this
permit.

(c) BMP Summary. A listing of site structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs)
shall be provided. The installation and implementation of BMPs shall be based on the assessment of
the potential for sources to contribute significant quantities of pollutants to stormwater discharges
and on data collected through monitoring of stormwater discharges. The BMP Summary shall include
a written record of the specific rationale for installation and implementation of the selected site BMPs.
The BMP Summary shall be reviewed and updated annually.

3. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures. The Spill Prevention and Response Procedures (SPRP) shall
incorporate an assessment of potential pollutant sources based on a materials inventory of the facility.
Facility personnel responsible for implementing the SPRP shall be identified in a written list incorporated
into the SPRP and signed and dated by each individual acknowledging their responsibilities for the plan.
A responsible person shall be on-site at all times during facility operations that have increased potential
to contaminate stormwater runoff through spills or exposure of materials associated with the facility
operations. The SPRP must be site stormwater specific. Therefore, an oil Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure plan (SPCC) may be a component of the SPRP, but may not be sufficient to completely
Permit NC0004308
Page 15 of 27

address the stormwater aspects of the SPRP. The common elements of the SPCC with the SPRP may be
incorporated by reference into the SPRP.

4. Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. A preventative maintenance and good
housekeeping program shall be developed and implemented. The program shall address all stormwater
control systems (if applicable), stormwater discharge outfalls, all on-site and adjacent surface waters and
wetlands, industrial activity areas (including material storage areas, material handling areas, disposal
areas, process areas, loading and unloading areas, and haul roads), all drainage features and structures,
and existing structural BMPs. The program shall establish schedules of inspections, maintenance, and
housekeeping activities of stormwater control systems, as well as facility equipment, facility areas, and
facility systems that present a potential for stormwater exposure or stormwater pollution where not
already addressed under another element of the SPPP. Inspection of material handling areas and regular
cleaning schedules of these areas shall be incorporated into the program. Timely compliance with the
established schedules for inspections, maintenance, and housekeeping shall be recorded and maintained
in the SPPP.

5. Facility Inspections. Inspections of the facility and all stormwater systems shall occur as part of the
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program at a minimum on a semi-annual schedule,
once during the first half of the year (January to June), and once during the second half (July to December),
with at least 60 days separating inspection dates (unless performed more frequently than semi-annually).
These facility inspections are different from, and in addition to, the stormwater discharge characteristic
monitoring at the outfalls required in Part I Section B.(1.).

6. Employee Training. Training programs shall be developed and training provided at a minimum on an
annual basis for facility personnel with responsibilities for: spill response and cleanup, preventative
maintenance activities, and for any of the facility's operations that have the potential to contaminate
stormwater runoff. The facility personnel responsible for implementing the training shall be identified,
and their annual training shall be documented by the signature of each employee trained.

7. Responsible Party. The SPPP shall identify a specific position or positions responsible for the overall
coordination, development, implementation, and revision of the SPPP. Responsibilities for all
components of the SPPP shall be documented and position assignments provided.

8. SPPP Amendment and Annual Update. The permittee shall amend the SPPP whenever there is a change
in design, construction, operation, site drainage, maintenance, or configuration of the physical features
which may have a significant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants to surface waters. All
aspects of the SPPP shall be reviewed and updated on an annual basis. The annual update shall include:

(a) an updated list of significant spills or leaks of pollutants for the previous three (3) years, or the
notation that no spills have occurred (element of the Site Overview);
(b) a written re-certification that the stormwater outfalls have been evaluated for the presence of non-
stormwater discharges (element of the Site Overview);
(c) a documented re-evaluation of the effectiveness of the on-site stormwater BMPs (BMP
Summary element of the Stormwater Management Strategy).
(d) a review and comparison of sample analytical data to benchmark values (if applicable) over the
past year, including a discussion about Tiered Response status. The permittee shall use the
Annual Summary Data Monitoring Report (DMR) form, available from the DEMLR
Stormwater Permitting Program’s website (See ‘Monitoring Forms’ here:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/npdes-stormwater).

The Director may notify the permittee when the SPPP does not meet one or more of the minimum
requirements of the permit. Within 30 days of such notice, the permittee shall submit a time schedule to
the Director for modifying the SPPP to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide
Permit NC0004308
Page 16 of 27

certification in writing in accordance with Part II, Standard Conditions, Section B, Paragraph 11 to the
Director that the changes have been made.

9. SPPP Implementation. The permittee shall implement the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and all
appropriate BMPs consistent with the provisions of this permit, in order to control contaminants entering
surface waters via stormwater. Implementation of the SPPP shall include documentation of all
monitoring, measurements, inspections, maintenance activities, and training provided to employees,
including the log of the sampling data and of actions taken to implement BMPs associated with the
industrial activities, including vehicle maintenance activities. Such documentation shall be kept on-site
for a period of five (5) years and made available to the Director or the Director’s authorized representative
immediately upon request.

permittee must take a substitute sample or perform a visual assessment during the next qualifying
storm event. Documentation of an adverse event (with date, time and written narrative) and the
rationale must be included with your SPPP records. Adverse weather does not exempt the permittee
from having to file a monitoring report in accordance with the sampling schedule. Adverse events
and failures to monitor must also be explained and reported on the relevant DMR.

2. Allowable Non-Stormwater Discharges
Non-stormwater discharges which shall be allowed in the stormwater conveyance system include:
a. Uncontaminated groundwater, foundation drains, air-conditioner condensate without added
chemicals, springs, discharges of uncontaminated potable water, waterline and fire hydrant
flushings, water from footing drains, flows from riparian habitats and wetlands.

SECTION C - SPECIAL CONDITIONS
C.(1.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly; Outfall 005) [15A NCAC 02B .0200 et
seq.]
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 once during each calendar quarter (January-March, April-June, July-September and
October-December). 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.

C.(6.) 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;
• 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).

Permit NC0004308
Page 24 of 27

2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(l)(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.gov/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

4. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and Supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)]
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:
