Dbvrroe Ms. Janet Mason, City Manager Town of Forest City PO Box 728 Forest City, North Carolina 28043 Dear Ms. Mason: NORIH CAHOLiNA EnHromnfntal Quality October 28, 2025 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.)].

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.

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.

Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted 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 See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below. Page 8 of 11 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: Page 9 of 11 Permit NC0087084 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. (I 1.)(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 IMR'must,obtain an eDMR user account and login credentials to access the eDMR system.
