Subject: Speculative Limits Request
Town of Benson
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Hartong:
The Division evaluated your request in behalf of the Town of Benson for speculative limits for an increase
discharge of 3.0 MGD at the Benson WWTP. The Division cannot issue speculative limits for 3 MGD at this
time. Hannah Creek is listed in the North Carolina 303(d) list of impaired waters as impaired for dissolved
oxygen. The Division will not allow any increase in loading to the creek as long as it is listed as impaired. If the
conditions of the creek improve and it is removed from the 303(d) list, an increase in flow could be evaluated. If
you have any questions, please contact Teresa Rodriguez of the NPDES Unit at [phone], extension 553.
