Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO083071
Robbinsville WTP
Graham 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).
This final permit includes no changes from the draft permit sent to you on January 22, 2003.
The Division is currently in the process of implementing a Water Quality Standard for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
and expects to introduce permit limits statewide in April 2003. Although TRC is not currently limited in this permit,
the Division recommends that you prepare a budget and schedule construction of facility upgrades to restrict the
discharge of TRC (or explore alternative methods of disinfection). Future renewals of this permit will include a
TRC limit of between 17 pg/L and 28 µg/L.
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.
