I am writing to provide notification and additional information, and to update your files
regarding Lorillard Tobacco Company's General Permit No. NCG500000, for Lorillard's facility
located at 2525 E. Market Street in Greensboro ("the facility").
It has recently been determined that some portions of the facility's plumbing system may
direct water from two elevator shaft pit sumps and several basement floor drains for discharge
into Muddy Creek. Lorillard has taken corrective action to prevent discharges of pollutants
through the system. In addition, permanent changes to the system are planned to eliminate any
future potential discharges.
Please contact me at 336-335-6790 if you have any questions.
