SUBJECT: Response to Request for Rescindment of 2001 NPDES Permit Addendum
Dupont
Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES No. NC0003573
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Our office is in receipt of a written request from your facility dated February 4, 2004 that the effluent
monitoring at Outfall 001 for the chemical compound HFA -hydrate be rescinded from the present requirements.
The required monitoring was an addendum to the NPDES permit when the discovery of the unpermitted
compound occurred in 2001. The available three years of data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring
Reports(DMRs) revealed that the compound has not been detected. Our office will rescind the monitoring
requirement beginning with the month of May 2004 with the understanding that in the future a monitoring
requirement could occur again if the chemical compound is suspected in the effluent.
If your or your staff have any questions please contact me at 910-486-1541.
Sincerely,
Belinda S. Henson
Environmental Chemist
