Pretreatment Review of Industrial User Pretreatment Permit - Additional Information Required
Program: City of Graham
WWTP: City of Graham WWTP - NPDES #: NC0021211
Alamance County
Dear Ms. Smith:
The Municipal Unit of the Division of Water Resources has reviewed the Industrial User Pretreatment Permit
(IUP) submitted by the City of Monroe for the following Significant Industrial Users (Sills). The IUPs were
received by the Division on May 31, 2021.
SIU #
SIU NAME
0030
Stericycle, Inc.
2001
Metal Impact East
1001
NovaFlex Hose Inc.
0007
Cintas Corporation
The review indicates that more information and/or corrections are needed to determine if the IUP meets the
minimum requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0905, .0916, and .0917 and 40 CFR 403.8(f)(1)(iii). In order for the
Division to complete its review of the IUP, you are required to submit the following information for each SIU by
July 30, 2021:
All IUPs (except Cintas):
• Please have the SIU fully complete the Wastewater Pollutant Checklist in the IU application with two
columns checked for each pollutant.
Metal Impact East:
• Add flocculation to treatment units in IUP.
Therefore, as allowed by 15A NCAC 2H .0917 (g), the Division's thirty -day comment period will be suspended
until the additional information is received, and at that time the full 30-day comment period will recommence.
You are encouraged to notify the affected industries of the extension of the Division's comment period.
Regardless of this approval action today, within 180 days of the effective date of any reissued NPDES permit (or
any subsequent NPDES permit modification) the Permittee would be required to submit to the Division a written
technical evaluation of the need to revise local limits (i.e., an updated IWS, or documentation of why one is not
needed). This action may include revising, updating or adding to the list of Significant Industrial Users (SIU's).

Federal and State pretreatment regulations require the local delegated pretreatment program to effectively control
and document the discharge of wastewater from Significant/Categorical Industrial Users to the POTW. It is the
POTW's responsibility to ensure that these objectives are consistently met.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Michael Montebello at (919) 707 -3624 [email:
