Subject: Waiver of Monthly Reporting Requirement
Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden WTP
NPDES Permit NCO088684
Gaston County
As stated by 15A NCAC 02B.0506 (a) (1) (E), permittees must submit monthly discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) to the Division, even when there is no discharge from the facility during the reporting period. The
Director may waive this requirement during extended periods of no discharge.
I have reviewed your documentation of the dismantling of the reverse osmosis system at the subject facility.
Based upon the recommendation of the staff of the DEQ Mooresville Regional Office (MRO), I have agreed to
waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective August 1, 2023. The
DMRs up through July 2023 should be submitted as usual.
Please be aware that should any discharge occur, the discharge must be monitored as per the
terms of the NPDES permit. Notify the MRO at least 90 days in advance of any planned discharge, or of
any pertinent developments that arise regarding potential wastewater discharge from the site.
Please also be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being
waived during the period of no discharge, the permittee is still required to pay the Annual Administering
and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES permits.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Charles Weaver via
email [charles.weaver@deq.nc.gov].
Sincerely,
�C
Richard E. Rogers, Jr., Director
