Christie,
Sounds good. No major compliance problems at this time. I just want to add
O&G monitoring. I think we decided on a frequency for that didn't we?

I don't know of a real good precedent but weekly sounds a little
excessive. How about monthly? The main reason I suggested it was to get
them thinking about it and doing a better job of enforcing their sewer use
ordinance. Thanks

maintenance enforcement program via an inspection report.
The ORC is currently under investigation for pumping digestor supernatant into
the effluent tank. Criminal and civil penalties are pending.
It is recommended the permit be reissued to the Town in accordance with the
CFR Basinwide Plan.

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NC0036668
Kenansville WWTP
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape
Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES
permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary
delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for
NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30622 to January 31, 2002.
Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page.
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.
In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is
August 4, 2001. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or
you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. You
will need to download Short Form A. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit
any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin.
If any part of this permit modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Natalie Sierra at [phone],
