Subject: Retraction of Sewer Line Moratorium
Demonstration of Future Wastewater Treatment Capacities
NPDES Permit NC0050105
Fayetteville Public Works Commission — Rockfish Creek WWTP
Cumberland County
Dear Permittee:
On May 5, 2021, the Division issued a sewer line moratorium against the Fayetteville Public
Works Commission — Rockfish Creek WWTP. The moratorium was based upon a review of your
self -monitoring reports, which indicated flow at the subject facility exceeded the 80% threshold
of the current treatment capacity for calendar year 2020. Subsequent to your receipt of the
moratorium, Chuck Baxley with the Fayetteville Public Works Commission (FPWC) contacted
the Division indicating that FPWC has been working towards expansion of the Rockfish Creek
WWTP to 28 MGD since 2018.
Based on a review of the information submitted to the Division, the Fayetteville Public Works
Commission has met the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .0118, "Demonstration of Future
Wastewater Treatment Capacities". The Division hereby lifts the sewer line moratorium imposed
against the Fayetteville Public Works Commission — Rockfish Creek WWTP for exceeding the
80% threshold of the current treatment capacity. Please note that future moratoriums may still be
imposed for exceeding 90% threshold of the current treatment capacity or if the facility
demonstrates it is unable to sufficiently treat the volume of wastewater entering the facility.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions about this letter or
discharge monitoring reports, please contact Brianna Young of my staff at 919-707-3619 or via
e-mail at brianna.young@ncdenr.gov.
