Subject: Lexington Regional WWTP (NC0055786)
Food Lion, Commercial Flow Reduction
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Comer:
On February 6, 2008, the Division of Water Quality received a flow reduction request for the
proposed Food Lion grocery store to be located in Davidson County and served by the Lexington
Regional WWTP (Permit No. NC0055786).
Water usage data for three similar Food Lion stores located in Davidson County between
April 2006 and January 2008 was provided and analyzed by central office staff. Based upon this data
the Division hereby approves a reduction in flow for this proposed Food Lion to 85 gal/1000 sq. ft.
Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater
flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the NPDES permit for the treatment facility or exceed the
capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s).
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Deborah Gore at
[phone] ext. 593, email [[e-mail]].
Sincerely,
♦
