Thanks, Belinda! Based on your earlier email indicating that we could work through Items 1-3 at the regional office,
could we go ahead and get that established now?

When we talked about our wastewater permit a few weeks ago, you indicated that we could propose an reduced
operating schedule and that NCDENR would consider whether it could be approved. I am wondering how detailed that
needs to be. Below are my tentative thoughts on this. Could you give me some feedback on whether this would be
sufficient?
Eddie,
I have talked with Tom Belnick in our Permitting Unit in Raleigh and his suggestion since a permit renewal is due in
January 2014 to address the reduction or elimination in monitoring for Color and Toxicity in the application for the
renewal of the permit. We appreciate the update and if we can be of further assistance please let me know.

Currently WestPoint Home (WPH) operates a wastewater treatment plant under NPDES permit No. NC0005762. This
is a major permit with a maximum allowable flow of 7.0 MGD, and it requires operators to be on -site 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.. It previously treated wastewater from two WPH textile facilities as well as from a Gulistan
Carpets finishing plant. All of these plants have now been closed and the only influent going forward will be
occasional filter backwash from the on -site water filter plant that supplies water to the fire protection system, as well
as a tiny volume of sanitary wastewater from the small crew of associates that will remain as caretakers of the
property. A local water/wastewater service provider nearby (Laurinburg/Maxton Airport Commission (LMAC)) has
indicated interest in acquiring the water and wastewater treatment facilities to provide additional capacity to that
area but they are not currently in a position to complete the purchase. WPH is currently negotiating a right -of -first -
refusal sales contract with LMAC. In return, it is our understanding that a representative from the LMAC has received
tentative approval from NCDENR to negotiate a 'renewed permit that could remain in effect until such time that LMAC
can acquire and integrate these facilities into their operation - even though the discharge during that period will be
minimal. LMAC will pay the permit renewal costs.
Proceeding under that understanding, WPH is proposing to maintain sufficient staff on -site to operate the wastewater
treatment plant until LMAC acquires the facility or until it is sold to another entity. During that time, WPH is
requesting the following operating scenario:
1. A certified operator and a certified back-up operator will remain on our staff. One of these individuals will be
on site five days a week, eight hours a day.
2. The plant will be maintained in good working order at all times to produce good quality effluent.
3. The plant will discharge water only periodically, on an as -needed basis. During periods of discharge, all
'sampling and testing will continue as required in the permit.
4. Since textile dyeing is no longer done at this location, WPH is requesting that the permit be modified to
eliminate the color monitoring requirements.
5. Since no process wastewater is now entering this facility, WPH is also requesting that toxicity monitoring be
reduced or eliminated.
Please let me know what you think. Does this need to be done in a formal letter? If so, who should it be addressed to?
Thanks for your help!
