dated October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
Changes for Renewal. The Division understands that you have made no significant changes in treatment

requirements by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We include the details to implement the
eDMR program in this permit [see permit Section A. (3.)].
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all DMRs and specify that, if North

Permitting Section
Subject: Draft Review
Permit NC0069426
100 Spinnaker Run Road, Belhaven
Per your letter dated January 28, 2015 and your request for additional information
regarding:
1. an accurate location of the effluent line.
The effluent line leaves our plant and is buried along the road right away heading
South under Dowry Creek East Rd. and under the property line between lots 24
and 25 to the bulkhead. From there it is buried under the riverbed of Pungo River
and extends 402 yards to a depth of approximately 7 feet at which point the
diffuser is located.
2. the diffuser location.
The diffuser is located at the above mention point and is properly marked by 2
marine quality can buoys, one on either side, with the appropriate warning and
signage.
3. a drawing locating the WWTP and legal property perimeter.
I have included a Beaufort county GIS property print out of the Dowry Creek
Community Association's property on which our WWTP is located along with a
print showing the location of the discharge line.
I hope this satisfies the information you requested.

Facility Summary
This facility treats 100% domestic wastewater in support of 22 homes (single-family residences) and a
small commercial facility with three (3) employees. Treatment is achieved using a duel package WWTP
fitted with an effluent diffuser discharging via a pipeline to approximately main channel in the Pungo
River (diffuser minimum depth 6 feet). This diffuser requires warning signage [see permit Special

recommended.
Compliance History / Permit Updates for Renewal — Compliance records indicate permit limit violations
in 2013 and in 2014; each violation was addressed appropriately by the WaRO. Other than BIMS-

Enterococci, Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorous (TP), TSS, pH, and BOD 5-day 4 (13% to 36%
over permit limit) - see attached Compliance Summary. DWR updated the facility description and Map;
