Summary
This is an existing oyster packing facility that has been in operation without a permit. Oysters are
shucked and packed. Process wastewaters generated consists of 1667 gpd from the washing
operations and 700 gpd from packing operations. There is no treatment of the process wastewaters.
The washwaters are discharge through three outfalls to a channel that drains to the Albemarle Sound.
The three outfalls discharge basically the same type of wastewaters, process and packing blended
together. Total production is 360 pounds per day. Effluent guidelines do not apply to this particular
facility since their production is below 1000 pounds per day. There are no reported water quality
issues in the Albemarle Sound in this subbasin.
EFFLUENT LIMITS DEVELOPMENT
Monitoring is proposed for Flow, Total Suspended Solids, and Oil and Grease based on BPJ and
similar permits for oyster packing operations. A limit was included for pH based on the water quality
standard for saltwaters. BMPs designed for fish packing facilities are included in the permit.

Dear Ms. Rodriquez:
This is regarding the NPDES Permit for Capt. Neill's Seafood, Inc. in Columbia, North
Carolina. I have enclosed three maps. One is a close up of the plant. One is a map where
you can see the vicinity of the Albermarle Sound. The other is a map of Columbia, I labeled
the roads so that you can have a better idea of where the plant is located. I sent another copy
of the first map that I drew because it shows the outfalls. This plant has been in operation for
25 years with the same outfalls. It has been a fish house and a fish filleting plant. During the
times it operated it used the same outfalls. That emptied into the ditch behind the plant and
then into the Albermarle Sound from there. The wastewater that empties from the plant is
only tap water. The plant cannot be hooked up to a sewer line because it does not run by the
plant. The closest sewer line is about 6 miles away in town. We cannot do drip irrigation
because we only own a small property. If there are any more questions or more information
that you need please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank You
Tara Carawan
