I checked back through my file on NPDES sign -offs, and NC0036561 United Church Retirement Home, NC0059536 Hilltop Living Center were both signed off on 4/14/09, and sent to our Raleigh office (I received both of these on 4/9, along with NC0070637 Kurz Transfer Products). I concurred with permit issuance on all of these. Lee G. Spencer, P.E.

From: Sledge, Bob Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 8:01 AM To: Spencer, Lee Subject: RE: Davie County - Sparks Road WTP Hi Lee, Thank you for your comments and your concerns. I know the facilities you oversee appreciate it too. I wanted you to know that we understand your concerns and that we are reevaluating the current strategy for WTPs and its implementation. However, that will take some time to complete. In the meantime, consistency and timeliness will keep us working with the existing permitting strategy. We'll try to stay on top of the footnoted clauses in the permits that would reduce or remove monitoring if the data show no impacts to the receiving streams, in order to quickly remove any unnecessary requirements. One further question regarding these three particular facilities. Each discharges to water supply waters, which initiates our query for your sign off on the permits. I assume, based on your other comments, that you don't think these discharges would adversely affect the receiving streams such that they'd disrupt downstream WTP operations. Will the memos acknowledging that approval (as opposed to your memo objecting to some terms of the permits) be forthcoming through Mr. McRight? Unfortunately, it seems there has been a bottleneck in the flow of that paperwork at some point in Raleigh. I haven't seen any memos return regarding NC0036561 United Church Retirement Home, NC0059536 Hilltop Living Center or NC0070637 Kurz Transfer Products (but I did appreciate your note on this one), all of which left our office on April 8. Curiously, I did receive your signed return on NC0051713 Lakeview MHP, that was sent out the same 1 Winston-Salem Journal Advertising Affidavit Winston-Salem Journal P.O Box 3159 Winston-Salem, NC 27102 NCDENRJDWQ/SURFACE WATER PROTECTION ATTN: JOVONAH D.
