Dear Mr. Jeffries:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Please note that this pe it will become of ive June 1, 2001. All terms and
conditions contained the existing pe ' , which will expire on May 31, 2001,
remain unchanged d in, full effect u that time.
Please note that this facility discharges to -a nutrient sensitive water (NSW). In 1997 the
Clean Water Responsibility Act (House Bill 515) was enacted, with the intent to strengthen
the control of nutrients from all discharges to NSW waters. Any new or expanding facilities
will be subject to nutrient limitations for total nitrogen and total phosphorus according to
House Bill 515 requirements. Since modifications to treatment systems are expensive and
time consuming, it is highly recommended that you begin planning for this possibility now if
a future expansion is anticipated.

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
