Dear Ms. Jackson:
The NPDES Unit received your request to modify the wastewater permit for Scotland Neck
after the Town's acceptance into the Tar Pamlico Basin Association (the Association). The Town was
accepted into the Association on April 12, 2002. Because the Association as a whole must meet a
nutrient load, or cap. individual nutrient limits are not imposed on facilities that are part of the
Association. This permit modification eliminates the individual nutrient limits for total phosphorus
and total nitrogen. A revised cap based on Scotland Neck's acceptance into the Association will be
forwarded to Mr. Malcolm Green at a later date. Please contact Rich Gannon, Environmental
Engineer, Nonpoint Source Planning Unit, at (919) 733 - 5083, ext. 356, should you have questions
regarding the nutrient cap for the Association.
Please fmd enclosed the revised permit pages (Effluent Limitations, Footnotes, Condition A.
(3.)). The revised pages should be inserted into your permit. The old pages may then be discarded.
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.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in 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 Susan Wilson
at [phone], extension 510.

NPDES No. NC0023337

A. (3.) NUTRIENT SPECIAL CONDITION
Limits on total phosphorus and total nitrogen have not been included at this time because the
facility is participating in the nonpoint source trading option outlined in the Tar Pamlico NSW
Implementation Strategy Phase II, which was adopted December 8, 1994. If compliance with any
element of this strategy, or subsequent approved revisions to the strategy is not maintained, the
Division reserves the right to reopen this permit to include nutrient limits. If requirements other
than those listed in this permit are adopted as part of a future revision to the strategy, the
Division reserves the right to reopen this permit to include these requirements.
The Town of Scotland Neck was accepted into the Tar Pamlico Basin Association on April 12,
2002.

PO.+'T SOURCE BRANCH --
The Town of Scotland Neck, NC respectfully requests a modification to our NPDES
Permit, issued April 23', 2001. Specifically, we request that the Total Nitrogen limit of 6.0
mg/land the Total Phosphorus limitation of 1.0 mg/1 be deleted from our Permit. We are
making this request as a result of becoming a member of the Tar Pamlico Basin Association
on April 12, 2002. A copy of a letter from Mr. Malcom Green, Chairman, of the Basin
Association, indicating the Town's acceptance, is attached.
The Town has agreed to and will comply with all the conditions of membership. At the next
regularly scheduled meeting, the Town Board will adopt a resolution committing the Town
to continue to fund and operate the Scotland Neck Wastewater Treatment Plant in a
proactive, environmentally effective manner to maximize nutrient removal. I will provide
you with a copy of this resolution, upon adoption by the Board. Further, the Board has
negotiated a repayment schedule to pay all accumulated back dues to the Basin
Association. The accumulated dues are in excess of $35,000.00. This is a significant sum of
money to the Town, and demonstrates our commitment to nutrient reduction at our WWTP.
I trust that you will look favorably on our request, and if you have any questions, or require
additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Nancy Jackson
Town Administrator

Dear Mayor Partin:
At the meeting of the Tar Pamlico Basin Association held in Rocky Mount April 12, 2002,
the Association voted to accept the Town of Scotland Neck as a member of the Basin
Association subject to the following conditions:
• Agreement by the Town of Scotland Neck to pay all accumulated back dues;
• Resolution from the Town of Scotland Neck council committing the Town to
continue to fund and operate the Scotland Neck Wastewater Treatment Plant in a
proactive, environmentally effective manner to maximize nutrient removal;
• Agreement between the Association and NCDENR on the adjustment to be made to
the Association nutrient cap.
While these conditions all take time to implement, I am sure that with your leadership they
will impose no hardship for the Town. For the Association, may I be the first to welcome
you and the Town to our organization. We feel your membership will be beneficial both to
the Town and to the Association.
You have asked if the dues in arrears could be paid over several years. On the attached
sheet, I have detailed how the back dues were calculated and have included a tentative
payment schedule. Your Manager suggested approximately three years. This schedule is
calculated at 4 % interest annually, the interest rate the Association is currently receiving
on its funds invested in CD's. These back payments would be in addition to any dues
budgeted in those future years.
If these conditions are agreeable to the Town, please respond, accepting the payment of
past dues and providing the Town's resolution, as requested.
Again, I welcome the Town of Scotland Neck to the Tar Pamlico Basin Association.
Sincerely,

Ken - my apologies, I've been remiss in sending out this e-mail and the
phone call from Nancy Jackson of Scotland Neck reminded me!
I attended the Tar Pam Association meeting 2/21. Scotland Neck made a
presentation to the Association, along with their consultant, C.D.
Malone, about their efforts at improving the plant and future plans and
their desire to get into the Association as soon as possible. They have
received some grant money for fixing some problems and the Mayor touted
how they knew this was a very important issue now. Paul Blount
indicated that he didn't think it was going to be a problem for them to
get in, he just wanted to touch base with other members that weren't
present before accepting them. An issue Paul raised was that it took
DWQ so long to get them nos. on the revised cap after Robersonville
decided they needed to join and they (although I can't really recall
this very well) didn't let them in the association until after they
received the revised numbers.
C.D. asked what I needed from them before I could revise the permit and
take out the nutrient limits. I told them that I would need a copy of a
letter from the Association accepting them into the Association and then
a request for a permit mod. from Scotland Neck. Paul said, I think,
that they would go ahead and get them in the Association before they got
the revised cap nos. from Rich since Scotland Neck is such a small
discharger anyway.
Nancy Jackson told me today that they still haven't received anything
from the Association but she will touch base with Paul again.
Anyway...long and short of it is I did hear that the Association is
willing to accept them now (without yet receiving the revised nos.).
Don't know if that helps you Ken, but Nancy wanted to make sure I
relayed this info. to you. Again, we can't change the permit until the
Association accepts them in writing. Scotland Neck I'm sure will have
to make a commitment to pay Association dues prior to them being
accepted.
Rich - has the Association requested that you look at revising the cap
with Scotland Neck included? I don't know if they were planning to
request that in writing to you (I'm assuming they would want to do that,
to keep a record) .

Rich,
The SOC states " The Town will become a member of the Tar -Pamlico Basin
Association. Upon attaining membership, the Town will in writing, formally request of
the Division that Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous monitoring and limits be
removed from the subject permit. At receipt of that formal notification, the Division
will remove Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous from the subject permit. If at any
time the membership is cancelled, withdrawn, or not kept current, Total Nitrogen and
Total Phosphorous will immediately be reinstated as limits in the subject permit." As
for load off -set fees. I don't know what that means.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
I►
NANCY JACKSON
TOWN CLERK
This is a followup to our telephone conversation on August 31, 2001 regarding our
Wastewater Treatment Plant discharge. The Town of Scotland Neck has made
application to become a member of the Tar-Pamilco Basin Association and we are hoping
to be accepted at their September meeting.
It is my understanding that once we become a member, we will notify you in writing and
we will be released from the current nutrient requirements. We are making every
conscientious effort to correct our problems at the plant and appreciate the support and
understanding of your agency.
Thank you and I will notify you as soon as we become a member of TRBA.
Sincerely,
OM- .0,1

Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Scotland Neck WWTP
Permit No. NC0023337
Halifax County
Dear Mr. Tutor:
In the letter regarding the permit issuance for Scotland Neck dated April 23, 2001, an error
was discovered in paragraph two of the cover letter to the permit. That paragraph has been
corrected below (with the correction in bold type). The permit, along with the limits presented in
the permit, are correct.
As stated in the cover letter to the draft permit, nutrient limits for total phosphorus and
total nitrogen have been included in this permit due to the nutrient impacts in the Tar Pamlico
River Basin. Scotland Neck did not choose to become a member of the Tar Pamlico Nutrient
Trading Association and is therefore subject to effluent nutrient limits. The effluent limits of 1
mg/1 and 6 mg/1 for total phosphorus and total nitrogen, respectively, are based on a
monthly average [refer to Special Condition A.(3.) of the permit].
If you have any questions regarding this correction or the final NPDES permit, please
contact Susan Wilson at (919) 733 - 5083, extension 510.
Sincerely,
via-r+r
