Dear Mr. Elder:
NCDENR
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Subject: NPDES Permit Correction
NPDES Permit NCO034860
Schneider Mills
Alexander County
The Division issued a modification of the subject permit on May 26, 1998. A second review of the
permit modification by Robert Scheller of the Mooresville Regional Office identified an error in the
amounts of BOD, Total Suspended Solids and COD on the Effluent Limitations page for outfall 001.
This permit correction restores the correct limits for those parameters.
Please find enclosed the corrected Effluent Limitations page for outfall 001. This page should be
inserted into your permit. The old page may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions
contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit correction is issued
under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
correction 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 a written petition
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless such
demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning these permit corrections, please contact Charles Weaver at
[phone], extension 511.
