RE: Renewal of the Middle Cape Fear Basin Association Memorandum of Agreement
NPDES Permit Modification for In -stream Monitoring
NC0076783 — PO Hoffer WTP
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Noland:
For the past 15 years, members of the Middle Cape Fear Basin Association (MCFBA) have
broadened our collective understanding of the Cape Fear basin through water quality monitoring.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) greatly appreciates the Association's continued support
of the monitoring and the time and expertise contributed by its members.
By this letter the DWQ confirms the waiver of in -stream monitoring requirements within your
individual NPDES permit in exchange for the MCFBA's monitoring of the basin as specified
within the renewed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) effective July 1, 2013. The agreement
identifies the stations, parameters, and frequency of monitoring required of the association in
order to maintain the in -stream monitoring waivers for your individual permits. Influent and
effluent monitoring requirements are not affected by this waiver. Should your membership in
the association be terminated, you must notify DWQ immediately and the in -stream monitoring
requirements in your permit will be reinstated.
All other terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These
modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental
Protection Agency.
