By this letter, the Division is waiving the instream monitoring requirements specified within the subject permit as of July 1, 2003. The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) (signed by the representatives of the Division and your facility) identifies the stations, parametric coverage and frequency of analysis required for the sampling program that will be conducted by the Middle Cape Fear River Basin Association for its members. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (and as subsequently amended). I would like to express my gratitude for the cooperation of all participants in this innovative approach to environmental monitoring. It is expected that the results of the agreement will effectively contribute to our understanding of the Cape Fear River Basin ecosystem. We have designated Lauren Elmore as our primary contact for issues related to the MOA. She can be reached at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below. We encourage you to contact Ms. Elmore should any questions arise regarding the monitoring program. As specified in the MOA, you must notify the Division immediately upon termination of membership in the MOA. Notify Ms. Elmore and Ms. Vanessa Manuel of the Division's Point Source Compliance and Enforcement Unit at (919) 733-5083, extension 532 or via e-mail [vanessa.manuel@ncmail.netl. Shouldyour membership be terminated, the instream monitoring requirements specified in the subject permit will be reinstated. We will maintain our own set of monitoring stations in the basin. Data from the combined monitoring programs will greatly expand our knowledge of this ecosystem. We thank you again for your participation and look forward to continuing a successful monitoring program. Sincere] Alan. W.
