Subject: Final NPDES Permit
Permit No. NCO060691
Candle Corporation of America, Inc.
Surry County
In accordance with the application for a discharge permit received on November 9, 1998, the Division is
forwarding herewith the subject NPDES permit.. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983, and as subsequently amended.
Please note the following changes from the previous permit (as indicated in the draft) have been finalized:
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) monitoring 2/Week at outfall 002 has been added; however,
monitoring is required only if facility ever uses chlorine -for disinfection (monitoring frequency per
NCAC T15A: 2B .0500s). Also, upon expansion to 0,03 MGD, a TRC limit of 28 µg/1 will apply
(again, only if chlorine used). This change is consistenfwith current Division policy for new flows
(flow capacity not yet constructed).
Quarterly monitoring for total nitrogen and phosphorus has been added. This change is
consistent with an effort to gather more data about nutrient loading in this portion of the watershed.
Please also note one change from the draft in the final permit. Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements pages A(2). and A(3). incorrectly referred to outfall 001 in the draft permit an_ d have
both been modified to refer to outfall 002 instead.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 in the form of a written petition, conforming to

Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.

Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for the above referenced facility. I encourage you to
review these documents very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the information, conditions,
and requirements contained therein.
You should be aware that the following changes have been incorporated into your permit:
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) monitoring 2/Week at outfall 002 has been added; however,
monitoring is required only if facility ever uses chlorine for disinfection (monitoring frequency per
NCAC T15A: 213 .0500s). Also, upon expansion to 0.03 MGD, a TRC limit of 28 µg/l will apply
(again, only if chlorine used). This change is consistent with current Division policy for new flows
(flow capacity not yet constructed).
Quarterly monitoring for total nitrogen and phosphorus has been added. This change is
consistent with an effort to gather more data about nutrient loading in this portion of the watershed.
