The only significant change present in the final permit is the requirement to post a
warning sign along the wastewater conveyance downstream of the outfall from the wood -lined
ditch. Staff from the Division's Fayetteville Regional Office have observed members of the

intended reduce public exposure to wastewater effluent from DuPont's facility. If you have

Fayetteville Regional Office. This sign should be in place within 30 days of the issuance of this
permit.
Compliance with all terms and conditions of the attached permit is the responsibility
of the Permittee. Please note that T15A 08G .0204 of the North Carolina Administrative Code
