Dear Mr. Weaver:
Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit No.: NCG500315 for Non -Contact Cooling Water
Elizabeth Carbide of North Carolina.
5801 East US HWY64
Lexington, North Carolina. 27292
Davidson County
In accordance with our current NPDES permit (Permit Number NCG5000315) and the requirements
for renewal under the provisions of North Carolina Statue (15A NCAC 2H.0101 (e)), general
conditions and limitations, request for renewal and permit renewal requirements for non -contact
cooling water discharge. Please except this Renewal Application and request letter as a Written
Formal Request Notice for Renewal of our current NPDES permit to your department as
stipulated in the North Carolina NPDES permitting renewal requirements.
We are also pleased to advise you, that as of November 9, 2001 we no longer discharge any non -contact
cooling water. We have installed a completely close loop recycling system for recycling, chilling and
reusing our non -contact cooling water. This has been a substantial saving to our company and a great
boost in our companies recycling efforts.
However, we would still like to keep our current and future permit as a safe guard, as insurance incase
of equipment failure or some type of unforeseen emergency (i.e. chiller or pump failure, down
equipment, etc.) for the next 5 year permit cycle. Should the need ever arise to replace the recycled non -
contact water; we would evaporate all water (approximately 1,200 gallons) through our electric waste
water evaporator, no discharge. So far everything is working great, we have zero discharge and 100%
recycling and reuse of our water since November 9, 2001.
Should you have any questions or concerns, pertaining to this notice of renewal request or require any
further information concerning this permit renewal, please give me a call at [phone], ext 35.
Sincer ly,
