Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen, temperature, and conductivity upstream at least 100 feet above the outfall and downstream at NCSR 1143 (Sandy Ford Road - approximately 1.6 miles downstream of the outfall). Instream monitoring is conducted three times per week during June, July, August and September, and once per week during the rest of the year. Upstream hardness sampling is also required at a quarterly frequency. Data was observed from January 2019 through March 2023. The data has been summarized in Table 2 below. Table 2. Instream Monitoring Data Summary Parameter Units Upstream Downstream Average Max Min Average Max Min Temperature ° C 16.8 25 0.9 17.4 26 2 DO mg/l 9.0 21.2 5.5 8.8 17.8 5.2 Conductivity umhos/cm 41.4 427 1.6 59 425 4.2 Total Hardness mg/1 11.5 34.6 7.97 - - - Students t-tests were run at a 95% confidence interval to analyze relationships between instream samples. A statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-value result is < 0.05. Downstream temperature was not greater than 29 degrees Celsius [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (18)] during the period reviewed. Downstream temperature was greater than upstream temperature by more Page 3 of 11 than 2.8 degrees Celsius on 18 occasions during the period reviewed. Review of concurrent effluent temperature data showed the potential for effluent to influence instream temperature. However, it was also concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream temperature. Effluent influence is not observed at levels with statistically significant impact but instream temperature will continue to be monitored to track influence. Downstream DO was not observed below 5.0 mg/L [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] during the period reviewed. It was concluded that no statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream DO. It was concluded that a statistically significant difference exists between upstream and downstream conductivity, with downstream conductivity being consistently higher than upstream conductivity. Effluent conductivity appears to influence downstream conductivity. As the receiving stream is neither impaired for fecal coliform or a class B waterbody, fecal coliform instream monitoring was removed during the 2018 permit renewal based on the 2002 Guidance Regarding Conductivity and Fecal Coliform Monitoring. No changes are proposed for fecal coliform. No changes are proposed to instream monitoring requirements. Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (YIN): NO Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): The facility reported no limit violations from May 2018 through May 2023. Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5 years): The facility passed 17 of 17 quarterly chronic toxicity tests, as well as all 4 second species chronic toxicity tests from February 2019 to February 2023. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted in June 2023 reported that the facility was compliant. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixing In accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH). If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMLY model results): NA If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD= 30 mg/l for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: The existing limitations for BOD5 are based on a 1992 Level B model. No changes are proposed. Page 4 of 11 Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/l (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals. Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1(acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: TRC limits have been reviewed in the attached WLA and have been found to be protective. No changes are proposed. The existing limitations for ammonia are based on a 1992 Level B model. The ammonia limits have been reviewed in the attached WLA for toxicity and have been found to be protective. No changes are proposed. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants If applicable, conduct RPA analysis and complete information below. The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of/z detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) streamflows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. A reasonable potential analysis was conducted on effluent toxicant data collected between January 2019 and March 2023. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: • Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: None • Monitoring - Only. nly. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: Total Copper, Total Zinc • No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Total Arsenic, Total Beryllium, Total Cadmium, Total Chromium, Total Cyanide, Total Lead, Total Nickel, Total Selenium, Total Silver, Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate • POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Four effluent pollutant scans (2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022) were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with monitoring, since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: None Page 5 of 11 o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: Dichlorobromomethane o The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Chlorodibromomethane, Total Phenolic Compounds As the discharge is approximately 4 miles above WS-V waters, WS standards were considered in the review. No detections of chlorinated phenolic compounds were reported in the submitted effluent pollutant scans. Total Dissolved Solids were not reported at levels greater than or equal to 500 mg/L in the submitted effluent pollutant scans. Effluent total hardness was not reported at levels greater than 100 mg/L during the period reviewed. Nitrate + Nitrite data from the submitted effluent pollutant scans were used to assess the WS nitrate standard. As the RPA shows reasonable potential for an excursion above the nitrate standard based on a limited dataset, and for calculation of total nitrogen, Nitrate and Nitrite have been added to the permit, along with TKN, at a monitoring frequency of monthly. If applicable, attach a spreadsheet of the RPA results as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater/saltwater to this Fact Sheet. Include a printout of the RPA Dissolved to Total Metal Calculator sheet if this is a Municipality with a Pretreatment Program. Toxici . Testing Limitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major POTW with a quarterly chronic WET limit at 34.07% effluent. The limit has been revised to 34%. Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (^ 2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) will receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/l. Page 6 of 11 Table 3. Mercury Effluent Data Summary 2019 2020 2021 2022 # of Samples 1 1 1 1 Annual Average Conc. n /L 1.73 3.02 2.27 2.43 Maximum Conc., n /L 1.73 3.02 2.27 2.43 TBEL, n /L 47 WQBEL, n /L 35.23 Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Since no annual average mercury concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL, no mercury limit is required. Since the facility is a 2.0 MGD facility and reported quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1 ng/1), the mercury minimization plan (MMP) special condition has been maintained. Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: NA Other WQBEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: As required by Session Law 2018-5, Senate Bill 99, Section 13.1(r), every applicant shall submit documentation of any additional pollutants for which there are certified methods with the permit application if their discharge is anticipated via a Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application table. As the Henry Fork WWTP discharges 4 miles above WS-V waters, 1,4-dioxane was also considered during this renewal. The Henry Fork WWTP receives industrial wastewater from one industrial user with the potential for use of 1,4-dioxane (motor vehicle parts and accessories). Based on an AAF of 167 cfs and the WS ISTV of 0.35 µg/L, the allowable discharge concentration for 1,4-dioxane at this facility is 4.5 µg/L. As part of their renewal application, the City of Hickory conducted 3 sampling events per week for a 2-week span, resulting in 6 total Henry Fork WWTP effluent samples. The samples were collected on May 31, June 1, June 2, June 7, June 8 and June 9, 2023. All samples were reported as non -detect at < 2 µg/L. As the facility reported no detectable levels of 1,4-dioxane during their 2-week sampling event, 1,4-dioxane requirements have not been added to the permit at this time. As an attachment to the permit application, the City informed the Division that no other monitoring for additional pollutants has been conducted (see attached chemical addendum) and therefore no additional pollutants of concern have been identified. If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A NCAC 211. 0107(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA 7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials) Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/7 BODS/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BODS/TSS for Weekly Average). YES If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Are 85% removal requirements for BODS/TSS included in the permit? YES If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Page 7 of 11 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge): The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105(c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA 9. Antibacksliding Review: Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): YES If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: Based on the results of the RPA showing the Predicted Maximum total copper levels > 50% of, but less than, the allowable discharge concentration, the total copper limits have been removed from the permit and total copper effluent monitoring has been reduced from monthly to quarterly. Based on the results of the RPA showing no reasonable potential to violate state water quality standards, the monitoring requirements for total cadmium and limits and monitoring requirements for Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate have been removed from the permit 10. Monitoring Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti - backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. The City has requested 2/week monitoring for BOD, ammonia, TSS and fecal coliform based on 2012 DWR Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities. The last three years of the facility's data for these parameters have been reviewed in accordance with the criteria outlined in the guidance. Based on this review, 2/week monitoring frequency has been applied for BOD, ammonia, fecal coliform, and TSS. To identify PFAS in waters classified as Water Supply (WS) waters, monitoring requirements are to be implemented in permits that discharge to WS waters. As the Henry Fork WWTP has discharges treated wastewater approximately 4 miles upstream of waters designated as WS-V, monitoring of PFAS chemicals will be added to the permit at a frequency of quarterly. Since an EPA method for sampling and analyzing PFAS in wastewater is not currently available, the PFAS sampling requirement in the Permit includes a compliance schedule which delays the effective date of this requirement until the first full Page 8 of 11 calendar quarter beginning 6 months after EPA has a final wastewater method in 40 CFR136 published in the Federal Register. This date may be extended upon request and if there are no NC -certified labs. The permit currently has a color reopener special condition due to historical issues with color as a result of 2 significant industrial users discharging high levels of color to the Henry Fork WWTP. While one of those two industries has left this system and the color issues have ceased at this facility, the reopener has been maintained. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December 21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020 Federal Register. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. 12.Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: Table 4.

The US EPA subsequently approved the WQS revisions on April 6, 2016, with some exceptions. Therefore, metal limits in draft permits out to public notice after April 6, 2016 must be calculated to protect the new standards - as approved. Table 1.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WOBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1 Q 10 using the formula 1 Q 10 = 0.843 (s7Q 10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)). Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NCO040797 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) _ (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L)+s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q 10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the IQ 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = 1 Ctotal I + { [Kp.] [ss('+a)] [10 6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q 10 + Qw) (Cwgs) — (s7Q10) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q 10) s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: IQ 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0040797 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.

Hi Robert, I hope all is well. I've begun reviewing the application for NC0040797 and preparing draft documents and was hoping you could provide the following: • Please provide a brief narrative description of the treatment works to satisfy item 2.4 of the application. This will also help me make sure the component list in the permit is accurate. • As required by Session Law 2018-5, Senate Bill 99, Section 13.1(r), every applicant shall now submit documentation of any additional pollutants for which there are certified methods with the permit application if their discharge is anticipated. The list of pollutants may be found in 40 CFR Part 136, which is incorporated by reference. If there are additional pollutants with certified methods to be reported, please submit the Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application table with your application and, if applicable, list the selected certified analytical method used. If no additional sampling was conducted and/or there are no additional pollutants to report, please note as much on the form itself. This requirement applies to all NPDES facilities. The Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application will be required for any type of facility with an NPDES permit, depending on whether those types of pollutants are found in your wastewater. Please fill out, sign and submit the Chemical Addendum to NPDES Application. • Please provide the effluent pollutant scan results from 2019 and 2021. 1 have effluent pollutant scan results from 2020 and 2022.
