September 12, 2005 Mr. Charles Weaver, Jr. NC DENR / NPDES Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: Draft NPDES Permit Permit No. NCO036251 Blue Star Camps WWTP Henderson County Dear Mr. Weaver: SEP 1 5 2005 We have reviewed the draft permit document and offer the following comments: 1. With the renewal application package, we requested a higher monthly average limit of 6 mg/l for ammonia nitrogen (NH3 as N). We notice that the draft permit contains a monthly average limit of 3 mg/l and a daily maximum of 15 mg/l. Your cover letter also states the daily maximum value is three times the monthly average value. The daily maximum value of 15 mg/1 suggests that the monthly average value should be 5 mg/l (i.e. 5 mg/l x 3 = 15 mg/l. Please clarify. 2. We also requested that temperature monitoring be reduced from daily to 2 per week. Our monitoring indicates very little variation in daily effluent temperature. We have had no previous correspondence regarding either request prior to receiving'1te draft document for review. Therefore, please consider this a second request for review of these two issues. Thank you for your attention. Please feel free to contact our ORC, Tom Kilpatrick, at 828-890- 4810, if you have technical questions. Otherwise, please feel free to contact me at 828-692- 3591.
