Amy — what you sent is fine. I just need the OK from Mooresville to issue the rescission. It sounds like they are OK with
rescinding the permit on 12/31/2020.
Ori — correct me if I'm wrong.

Ori-
I sent the original request to Corey Basinger and Michael Montebello. Is there someone else it would be helpful for me
to reach out to as well?
I appreciate your guidance on this.

Amy,
The permit has to be rescinded through central office. During the site visit the permitee indicated that there will be no
more discharging from the site and that the basins will be properly decommissioned. I recommended that the permit
will be rescinded in the end of the month to allow the ORC to complete the EDMR for the months of November and
December. Has the central office been contacted with the recession request?
Sincerely,
Ori

Mr. Basinger and Mr. Montebello -
Please find attached correspondence relating to the decommissioning of the wastewater treatment
plant for permit NC0004812. As you will note in the correspondence, the discharge pipe for the plant
has been removed and Pharr is requesting an inspection for rescission of the permit. As you may also be
aware, this rescission process is integral to the City of Gastonia's receipt of grant funding and the grant
authority is requesting confirmation of the rescission by year end. Pharr therefore requests an
9

inspection at the earliest possible time to be able to comply with this request. Please contact me at
your earliest convenience so that Pharr may assist in arranging the inspection and completing the
rescission process.
I thank you in advance for your attention to this request and look forward to working with you through
this process.
Regards,
Amy Rickers

Good Morning,
Great to hear that the decommissioning is finished. I have spoken with Jaime on the phone and I could come out to see
the site next Tuesday December VY around 10 AM. What date was the last time the facility had any discharge? Before
we rescind the permit I want to make sure that all EDMR have been submitted reviewed and if there any violations or
penalties they have been addressed.
Jaime, until the facility permit is rescinded we will still need EDMR's from the facility, just indicate no flow, this is to
show ORC visitation requirements are still being met.
Sincerely,
Ori

Ori — that's what I needed to know. We'll wait to hear from the MRO that the cleanup is done, then rescind the
permit. No need for a permit renewal.

Good Afternoon Charles,
At this time the facility is no longer receiving any new flow, they are connected to two river utilities. The WWTP is still in
operation and is in the process of removing solids and sending them to the landfill, due to the fact no flow the facility is
not discharging much, but still have some discharge. They are should be done with the process of sludge removal in the
next couple of months and then they will pump out any remaining wastewater and clean up the basins prior to
rescinding the permit, so I'm not sure a new permit is necessary.
If you have any more questions please let me know.
Thank you,
Ori

Subject: Pharr Yarns / NC0004812 - rescind or renew?
We got a rescission request for NC0004812 in March 2018. We then got a renewal request in January 2019.
Which path does the MRO recommend? I kept waiting to hear from Gastonia/Two Rivers about connecting NC0004812,
but they never confirmed it.
I read Ori's inspection report from August. Should the permit be renewed to allow more time for
decommissioning/cleanout, or should we just wait for the cleanup to finish - then rescind it?
As always, thanks for your help.

Subject: Rescission of Pharr Yarns, LLC WWTP NPDES Permit # NC0004812,
located at 149 Willow Dr. McAdenville NC
Dear Permitting Unit Staff,
Clean Water Management Trust Fund grant project number 2011-508 provides grant funds to install
sewer infrastructure that will enable Pharr's wastewater treatment plant to be taken offline. In
accordance with the grant requirements, Pharr Yarns, LLC hereby submits this letter as a notification and
request for rescission of Pharr's NPDES permit once the sewer construction project is completed.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in December 2018, upon which all wastewater currently
treated at Pharr's WWTP will be discharged to the City of Gastonia's Two Rivers Utilities collection
system and ultimately be treated at the Long Creek WWTP (NPDES Permit # NC0020184). When the
project is completed, Pharr will notify the Permitting Unit that the plant is no longer in operation and
certify that it has been decommissioned so that NCDEQ can conduct the site visit to confirm
decommissioning and proceed with permit rescission.
Should here be any questions or if further information is needed please feel free to call me at
