Mr. Smith:
The Division of Water Resources(DWR or the Division)received your amended application to renew the
subject permit,signed on July 7,2021.Please review the attached renewal draft carefully to ensure your
understanding of its limits and monitoring conditions,and to correct errors,if any.
Concurrent with this notification,the Division will solicit public comment on this draft by publishing a
notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Guilford County area, as required by the NPDES
Program.Please submit your written comments(if any),to my attention,NCDEQ/DWR/NPDES no
later than December 10,2021 (approximately 30 days after receiving this document).We welcome your
written comments,but they are not mandatory.
The Division understands that,since last renewal,Cranbrook Village Mobile Home Park(MHP)WWTP
(Cranbrook)has made no significant alterations to treatment systems or processes.We have made a few
changes for this renewal.
1. Previous winter Monthly Average(MA)limits for Ammonia(as N)of 24.0 mg/L were
incorrect. According to 15A NCAC 2B .0404(c),winter waste-load allocations for oxygen
consuming waste shall be no less stringent than 2 times the summer limit.Considering
previous summer limits of 3.8 mg/L MA,winter limits are hereby revised from 24.0 mg/L to
7.2 mg/L MA[see section A. (1.)].
2. verified receiving-stream classification as WS-IV;NSW(Water Supply;
Nutrient Sensitive Waters)
3. cited relevant regulations for Biological WPCS Grade II[see header for Section A. (1.)]
4. updated text for electronic reporting requirements. [Section A. (3.)]
5. updated your site map.
