RE: Implementation of the Tar Pamlico Basin Association's Monitoring Coalition
NPDES Permit Modification for Instream Monitoring
NC0025402 Enfield WWTP
Halifax County
Dear Mr. Davis:
As a member of the Tar Pamlico Basin Association's monitoring coalition, your facility and the NC Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) have entered into an agreement that provides both parties with an effective monitoring tool
within the Tar Pamlico River basin. By this letter the DWQ is waiving the instream monitoring requirements as
specified within your individual NPDES permit beginning March 1, 2007 when the association begins monitoring
of the basin as specified within the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). This agreement identifies the stations,
parameters, and frequency of monitoring required of the association in order that instream monitoring
requirements be waived for members. Should your membership in the association be terminated, you must notify
DWQ immediately and the instream 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.
The DWQ appreciates the time and effort expended by all members of the Tar Pamlico Basin Association in the
development of the monitoring coalition. The data collected through the program will broaden our understanding
of the basin and aid in the development of better management tools to insure the health and quality of this natural
resource.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the coalition, please contact Jennie Atkins at (919) 733-9960 ext
260 or at jennie.atkins@ncmail.net.
Sincerely,
