Dear Mr. Spiewak:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has reviewed your application, received on January 28, 2022, for a new
NPDES permit. To enable us to complete our review in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A NCAC
02H .0105, DWR needs additional or revised information to address the following comments:
1. Please provide discussion and documentation of the following items that were not included in the EAA.
These items are outlined in the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) Guidance Document, Step 1:
a. Receiving stream classification restrictions [e.g., ORW, WS, SA, NSW, and HQ class waters
have various discharge restrictions or require stricter treatment standards]. Stream
classifications are available on the DWR Classification and Standards/Rule Review Branch
website: (https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-planning/classifications-
standards), while wastewater discharge restrictions for various stream classifications are
presented in state regulations [15A NCAC 2B.0200].
b. Basinwide Water Quality Plans. These basin -specific plans list NPDES permitting strategies
that may limit wastewater discharges to particular streams within the basin due to lack of
stream assimilative capacity, etc. Basin plans are available on the DWR website, or you may
contact the DWR Basinwide Planning Branch (https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-
re source s/water-planning/basin-planning-branch) .
c. Impaired waters and TMDLs. Certain waterbodies listed as impaired on the 303(d) list and/or
subject to impending TMDLs may have wastewater discharge restrictions. The list of 303(d)
impaired waters is located on the DWR website, or you may contact the DWR Modeling and
Assessment Branch (https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-
planning/modeling-assessment).
d. Presence of Endangered Species. If endangered species are present in the proposed discharge
location, there may be wastewater discharge restrictions. Endangered species information
may be included in the Basinwide Water Quality Plan, or you may contact the U.S. Fish and
