Subject Request for Modification to NPDES Permit NCDEQIDWR/NPDES
NPDES Permit No. NC0003191
Nutrient Credits Transferred: 13,000 lbs Nitrogen
Dear Mr.Templeton,
The International Paper - New Bern Mill requests a modification to the current NPDES permit
NC0003191. The current NPDES permit covers discharges from the existing onsite wastewater
treatment system to the Neuse River, currently classified SC-Swamp NSW waters in the Neuse River
Basin.
The New Bern Mill has entered into a contract with the City of Raleigh to make 13,000 lbs/year of the
total nitrogen load currently allocated in NPDES permit NC0003191 available to the City of Raleigh.
The purchased nitrogen allocation is from the 100% transport zone and being moved to the 50%
transport zone which equates to an end of pipe allocation at the Neuse River RRF of 26,000 pounds.
Upon execution,this modification is a permanent transfer of total nitrogen load.The contract has been
submitted by the Assistant Director of City of Raleigh Water for your review. As of August 5, 2021
International Paper has received full payment towards the nutrient credit transfer.
The New Bern Mill requests the NPDES permit limit for total annual nitrogen load, currently set at
299,828 lbs/year, be reduced to 286,828 lbs/year.
Should you have any questions or comments concerning this submittal, please contact Paul Rodock
at 252-633-7459 or electronically at [e-mail]
Sincere ,
Adam Miklos
Mill Manager
