Golden Poultry Processing Plant
Lee County
The Division received your request for a modification of the subject permit on July 7, 1997. The
modification was issued on August 25, 1997. Further discussion with you regarding the unique hazards to
sampling at the subject permit site yielded the conclusion that weekly instream sampling would be
sufficient for all motnhs of the year. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith this additional permit
modification.
Please find enclosed the amended Summer limitations pages ((A.)l. & (A.) 3.) which should be
inserted into your permit. The old pages should be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in
the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification
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 Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General. Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such demand is made,
this decision shall be final and binding.
