Kings Mountain is now not certain when they will build their new WWTP, if they build it at all. Grover will continue discharging in the short term, and possibly the long term also. Just re -work the existing condition in the permit. The wording could be: "The permittee shall contact the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) within 60 days of the effective date of this permit and confirm the status of this discharge, and whether it will be transferred to another POTW. The permittee shall make a similar report annually to the MRO for the remainder of the permit cycle." No need for anything fancy. Charles H.

He was involved with the City of Kings Mountain's AtC for a new WWTP that included the Town of Grover connecting on to it. I believe the AtC was issued; however, the City of KM has been going back and forth as to whether or not they will build this new WWTP. I think you should leave the permit condition in the new permit and have the Town submit an update to us (say within 180 days of effective date) as to the status of the termination of their discharge.
