Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NCO087084
Riverstone Industrial Park WWTP
Rutherford County
Grade II Biological WPCS
SIC Code 4952
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:
• Due to the presence of the pretreatment program, and to assist with evaluation of metals in
the effluent, effluent conductivity monitoring has been added [See A.(I)].
• Per Permittee request, language pertaining to the 0.1 MGD flow tier has been removed.
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) showing no reasonable potential to
violate state water quality standards, and upon consultation with the pretreatment program, the
monitoring requirement for zinc has been reduced from monthly to quarterly [See A.(1)].
• Alongside the change to the zinc monitoring requirement, the requirement for hardness
monitoring has been reduced from monthly to quarterly [See A.(1)].
• Special Condition A.(3.) has been added to require an Effluent Pollutant Scan to be
performed once per permit cycle. 1n addition, at the end of the Special Condition, 2nd species
Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal Regulations [40
CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
• A special condition to monitor effluent PFAS chemicals twice per year has been added to
the permit, to be effective six (6) months after EPA has a wastewater method in 40 CFR136
method published in the Federal Register [See Special Condition A.(4.) PFAS Monitoring
Requirements].
• To enable further understanding of TN in the effluent, requirements for TKN and
NO2+NO3 monitoring have been added simultaneous to TN monitoring [See A.(1)].
• Language has been added to Footnote 2 to account for influent, effluent, and upstream
abbreviations [See A.(1.)].

A.(2.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY)
[15A NCAC 0213 .0200] [15A NCAC 0213 .0500 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 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 bew: loall treatment processes.

form indicating the facilityname, 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 beginlimmediately 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.
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.

Permit NC0087084
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported via the eDMR system no later than the last calendar day of the month following the
completed reporting period. 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, 2025, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports; and
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(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-pol lutant-discharge-el im inati on-system-npdes-electronic-reporting-rul e
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:
