Subject•. Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO081256
Frank L. Ward WTP
Guilford County
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 be aware that Richland Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's 303(d) list.
This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. The Division is working toward the
improvement of water quality in Richland Creek. If the Division's current initiatives do not result in improved
water quality, removal of discharges to Richland Creek may be necessary for the health of the stream. While the
Division believes larger domestic discharges are causing degradation to Richland Creek, we will continue to
monitor compliance at your facility. If noncompliance with your permit's effluent limits is shown to be a direct
cause of stream degradation, the Division will recommend removal of your facility's discharge.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit 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 (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
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 Charles Weaver at telephone number (919)
733-5083,extension 511.

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NCO081256
High Point WTP
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Gore:
The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape
Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES
permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary
delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for
NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30608 to August 31, 2001.
Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page.
All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit
modification is issued under 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.
In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is
March 4, 2001. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or
you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. You
will need to download Short Form C. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit
any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin.
If any part of 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 a written petition conforming
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Natalie Sierra at [phone],
extension 551.
Sincerely,
Idol�
