Dear Mr. Fose:
The Division has modified the terms of NPDES permit NCO071706 originally issued on
November 13, 2017. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached, modified 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 October 15, 2007
(or as subsequently amended).
This modified permit removes the effluent discharge limit associated with Total
Phosphorous and reduces the *minimum monitoring frequency for Total Phosphorous
from weekly to quarterly. In addition, a footnote for the continuous flow monitoring,
effective June 1, 2018. Apart from the noted changes, all other terms and conditions
remain the same as those contained in the previous permit.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The
Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This
permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be
required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land
Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local
governmental permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Emily Phillips at
