Issuance of NPDES Permit NC0001121
Veeder-Root of North Carolina
Bladen County
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for issuance 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.)
The final permit authorizes your company to discharge treated wastewater from the Veeder-Root treatment
facility to the Cape Fear River, a class C stream in the Cape Fear River Basin. The permit includes discharge
limitations and/or monitoring for perchloroethylene, total cadmium, total copper, total chromium, total
zinc, total lead, total nickel, total silver, total cyanide and total residual chlorine.
The following modifications have been made to the final permit.
• Mass limits for metals. Both the monthly average and daily maximum effluent limitations for the
following parameters have been modified based on use of updated process flow to determine mass -
based limits: total cadmium, total chromium, total copper, total lead, total nickel, total silver, total zinc,
total cyanide, total toxic organics, total suspended solids and oil and grease.
• Sampling for metals. The sample type for total cadmium, total chromium, total copper, total lead,
total nickel, total silver, and total zinc will be composite. The grab sample type was inadvertently placed
in the draft permit for these parameters.
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 a demand is made, this permit shall be final and
binding.

Permit NC0001121
A. (6.) ACUTE TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The permittee shall conduct acute toxicity tests on a quarterly basis using protocols defined in the North Carolina
Procedure Document entitled "Pass/Fail Methodology For Determining Acute Toxicity In A Single Effluent
Concentration" (Revised July, 1992 or subsequent versions). The monitoring shall be performed as a Fathead
Minnow (Pimephaler pmmelas) 24-hour static test. The effluent concentration at which there may be at no time
significant acute mortality is 901/6 (defined as treatment two in the procedure document). Effluent samples for self-
monitoring purposes must be obtained during representative effluent discharge below all waste treatment. The tests
will be performed during the months of March, June, September and December.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge
Monitoring Form (MR -1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGE6C. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT -2 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days
after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the
permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility
name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow' in the
comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited
above.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin
immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to
quarterly in the months specified above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test
requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from either these monitoring requirements or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to
include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up
testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

just one quick comment. For the metals, the permit requires grab
samples. Typically, metals monitoring is via composite. Grabs are
appropriate if the retention time in the treatment system is
sufficiently long. Is there a specific reason that grabs are required
here?
I will send you a no comment letter today.

Hi Marshall,
This was a cut and paste, typo error. The samples should be composite for
all metals except cyanide, as it was in the previous permit.( North
Carolina regulation 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (c)(3)(C)(viii) requires cyanide to
be sampled as grab in influent and effluent tests.) The permittee called
and questioned me about the sample type also, and wondered why it was no
longer composite. It will be corrected back to composite for cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, nickel, silver and zinc in the final permit.
Thank you.

Reference: Review and Comments on Draft NPDES Permit
Dear Ms. Nowell:
NOV - 6 2002
DENR-WATER QUALITY
POINT SOURCE BRANCH
Danaher Controls received and reviewed the draft NPDES Permit No. NC0001121 with your October
16, 2002, letter. The following comments are from our review of the draft permit.
In the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet, item 2 "Discharge through outfall 002 once through non
contact cooling water to which no chemical additives have been added", does not list a flow.
Currently our permit specifies a flow of 0.152 MGD. We believe this may be a "cut and paste" error.
We agree with the flow specified for outfall 001 at 0.170 MGD and outfall 003 at 0.152 MGD.
Danaher Controls believes that our production will continue to increase in 2003 correlating to waste
stream flows from outfall 001 and outfall 002 approaching the permitted flows of 0.170 MGD and
0.152 MGD, respectively.
The table A. (4.) EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS — FINAL
under Monitoring Requirements — Sample Types list "grab" samples for total cadmium, chromium,
copper, lead, nickel, silver, and zinc. We believe this may've a "cut and paste" error and should be
"composite" sampling. If this is not an error, Danaher Controls believes that composite sampling for
the above seven total metals better represents the daily metal loads.
If you have any questions or comments, please call Mr. David Martin at [phone].

Dear Ms Nowell:
After reading your email and speaking to you on the telephone I researched
the MR11s to get the data you wanted. The average flow /month and the
maximum flow /month for outfall 001 is attached. I also calculated the
average flow /month and the average maximum flow /month for,the years of
1999, 2000, and 2001.
I would like to address some of the flow data that I have listed since it
shows a decrease in the flow compared to the information you had from
1/11/96. In 1992 - 1993 we transferred a lot of our manufacturing to
another location within our Corporation. The transfer reduced the amount of
plating done at Elizabethtown.
The plating production remained lower until 1999 - 2000. At that time we
transferred another of our Corporation's companies into the Elizabethtown
plant. The plating production level was increased but due to the economic
down turn the increase isn't seen. Also we still have approximately 50,000
sq ft of empty spare in our facility that will be used to transfer
additional manufacturing to Elizabethtown.
Our company feels that our manufacturing will increase in the first or
second quarter of 2003 and that we will transfer more manufacturing to the
Elizabethtown plant in 2003.
Therefore, I feel that our flow rates for our 001 outfall will return to
the normal range (0.0263 MGD/month average & 0.0444 MGD daily Max.) by
year's end 2003. Also we feel that the 002 outfall will return to the same
level as it was in 1996 or sightly higher. The 002 outfall increase would
be due to increase plastic molding due to a manufacturing transfer.
Thanks and let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Hello Mr. Martin,
I'm working on the renewal of the subject permit and need some
additional information in order to finalize the draft. Thank you for
the priority pollutant analytical data and information on the production
chemicals used in the process that you submitted last year.
I am aware that your application has been inhouse for quite some time.
However, in order to complete the draft, we need to have three years of
production data from the process flow. This would include 12 months
of average process flow data for 1999, 2000, and 2001 and the maximum
flow from each of those months. For example, we need the average flow
for January 1999 and the maximum flow for January 1999, avg. flow for
Feb. 1999 and max. flow for Feb. 1999, etc. The last permit renewal
for Veeder Root, used a monthly average process flow of 0.0263 MGD and a
daily maximum process flow of 0.0444 MGD based on three years of data
provided to DWQ by Henry Hatcher, plant engineer on 1/11/96.
This information must be provided in order to develop your permit
limitations for your new permit. This data may be emailed to me or
faxed to 919-733-0719. Please call me at 919-733-5083 x 512 if there
are any questions. Thank you.

SUMMARY OF FACILITY INFORMATION AND WASTELOAD ALLOCATION
Veeder-Root of North Carolina, Inc. has requested a permit renewal for their Afeeder-
Root manufacturing facility. The facility discharges into the Cape Fear River, a class C waters,
in CPF16 Subbasin. The Veeder-Root facility manufactures counters for flow meters and
odometers, timers and relays, and voting machines and generates wastes that are treated on-
site.
Veeder-Root operates four outfalls, they are as follows:
001 - process wastewater treatment plant effluent
002 - non -contact cooling wastewater
003 - treated ground water
004 - combined discharges from outfalls 001, 002, and 003
Domestic wastewater generated at the plant is treated at the Elizabethtown WWTP.
001 wastewater treatment process - From the electroplating and coatings operation, Veeder-
Root produces wastewater that contains chromium and cyanide. Because of their presence,
the wastewater is classified as hazardous waste. The WWTP treats the chromium solutions in
batch treatment tanks with concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium bisulfite to change the Cr
from its hexavalent form to the trivalent form. The cyanide solutions are treated in batch
treatment tanks with caustic soda and sodium hypochlorite, creating a solution with a pH of 13
during cyanide destruction. The pH is adjusted to 8.3 to 8.8 and treated with sodium bisulfite
to dechlorinate the water. A flocculent is added to the batch tanks, mixed, and settled for 24
hours before the effluent in pumped off to the clarifier.
002 noncontact cooling water - Used in the plastic molding machines. Source of the water is
potable water from the Town of Elizabethtown. The water moves through passageways in the
molding machines and out to a sump behind the plant.
003 Groundwater remediation system - Became operational for a volatile organic compound
(VOCs) plume associated with the sludge drying beds. The system treated 75 to 90 gallons of
water per minute. Groundwater is extracted from three wells and pumped into a 2500 gal.
aeration treatment tank. An oil -less regenerative blower supplies approximately 50 SCFM
(standard cubic feet per minute) of air into the tank through an injection system on the tank
bottom. The aeration is used to remove volatile organic compounds and mix the caustic soda

used to adjust the pH of the water. The plume consisted of 1,2 -dichlorobenzene, 1,1-
dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), toluene, and trichloroethene (TCE).
Concentrations of the VOCs detected ranged from < 5 - 5.3 ug/1. .
Previous NPDES permit categorized Veeder Root as a metal finisher with applicable effluent
guidelines from 40 CFR 433.13(a) BPT and 433.14(a) BAT. Guidelines as of July 1, 1998 are
as follows: < • i

In development of limits for renewal of the permit, facility had to provide three years of
production data. Data provided included the average monthly process flow for 1999 - 2001 of
0.0234 MGD and the average of maximum flows for 1999 - 2001 of 0.0359 MGD. The highest
flow in the past three years is 0.0964 MGD. Veeder-Root indicated that they, anticipated
process flows to increase due to higher production levels, however since specific increased flow
could not be documented, the average monthly process flow provided was used to estimate
effluent limitations for pollutants. The average monthly flow was used to develop both daily
maximum and monthly average mass limits.
(Limits developed in the previous permit issued in July 1996 used average monthly process
flow to calculate monthly average limits and used the highest maximum flow to calculate daily
maximum flows. This method was incorrect and has been corrected with this renewal. This is
the reason for the reduction in daily maximum limits from the previous permit.)
The recommended limits for the renewal permit are as follows:
Application indicates the following constituents present in the effluent from 001: sulfate,
sulfite, cyanide, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, silver, sodium, zinc, oil and grease,
and surfactants.
Constituents present in effluent from 002: zinc.
Constituents present in effluent from 003: zinc and chlorinated organic compounds.

Supplemental Data
Production Data
Veeder-Root manufactures many products at the facility including counters for flow meters and
odometers, timers and relays, and voting machines. However, not all the products result in wastewater
generation that requires treatment at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Rather than try to correlate
the number of counters, timers, relays, or voting machines to the production of wastewater, Veeder-Root
has looked at the raw chemical purchases for the plating and coating department. The plating and coating
department is the primary source of wastewater treated at the WWTP.
Eight chemicals were selected to track the generation of wastewater during the production of finished
goods. Other chemicals are used such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. but their volume used is dependent
on the usage of the eight selected chemicals. These chemicals are:
• Actane 342
• Chromium
• Iridite
• Nickel Sulfate
• Soap Cleaner
• Sodium Cyanide
• Zinc
• Zinc Brightener
Table 1 is a summary of the usage of these chemicals from 1995 through 2000. Figure 1 shows the use of
Iridite and zinc brightener. As can be seen in Table 1 and Figure 1, the usage of these chemicals have
been declining from 1995 through 2000. Figure 2 shows the usage of Actane 342 and soap cleaner. The
amount of Actane 342 and soap cleaner has been declining since 1995. Figure 3 shows a similar decline
in the usage of chromium, nickel sulfate, and sodium cyanide.
The spikes in the plots for Iridite (1997), nickel sulfate (1997), and Actane 342 (1997) represent volume
purchases for cost savings and not actual usage.
The data shown confirms that Veeder-Root is reducing the volume of plating and coating and thereby
reducing the volume of wastewater to be treated and discharged through Outfall 001.

NPDES Permit NC0001121
Veeder-Root of North Carolina, Inc.
Elizabethtown, North Carolina
April 30, 2001
Present Operating Status
Veeder-Root of North Carolina, Inc. operates a manufacturing facility in Elizabethtown, North Carolina
(see Figure 1). The facility manufactures counters for flow meters and odometers, timers and relays, and
voting machines and in the process generates wastes that are treated on-site. The effluent is discharged to
the Cape Fear River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
NC0001121.
Veeder-Root operates four outfalls (see Figure 2) under its NPDES permit (NC0001121). These outfalls
consist of:
001 wastewater treatment plant effluent, permitted for 0.17 MGD
002 noncontact cooling water, permitted for 0.152 MGD
003 treated ground water, permitted for 0.152 MGD
004 combined discharges from Outfalls 001, 002, and 003
1.1 Outfall 001 Wastewater Treatment Process
Veeder-Root began operations in January 21, 1966. As a part of its electroplating and coatings
operations, Veeder-Root produces wastewater, which is classified as hazardous waste due to the presence
of chromium and cyanide. A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located behind the manufacturing
facility treats these chromium and cyanide solutions. The chromium solutions are treated in batch
treatment tanks with concentrated sulfuric acid and sodium bisulfite to transform the chromium from its
hexavalent form to the trivalent form. The cyanide solutions are treated in batch treatment tanks with
caustic soda and sodium hypochlorite, resulting in a solution with an approximate pH of 13 during
cyanide destruction. The solutions are adjusted to a pH of 8.3 to 8.8, and treated with sodium bisulfate to
dechlorinate the water. A flocculant (CP -32, aluminum chloride solution) is added to the chromium and
cyanide batch tanks, mixed, and then allowed to settle for 24 -hours before the effluent is pumped off to
the clarifier. The sludges are pumped to a sludge holding tank and eventually are dewatered with a plate
filter press. The effluent is discharged to the Cape Fear River under a NPDES permit (NC0001121). The
sludges are classified as a hazardous waste and are shipped to a licensed secure hazardous waste landfill.
The cyanide tanks are 54 feet long by 24 feet wide by 12 feet deep in ground (37,500 -gallon tanks). The
chrome tanks are 24 feet long by 24 feet wide by 12 feet deep in ground (15,000 -gallon tanks). The
clarifier is an in ground tank 38 feet by 32 feet by 12 feet deep. The wet well is approximately 20 feet
long by 8 feet wide by 12 feet deep with a 5,000 -gallon treatment capacity. The metal hydroxide sludge
tank is an aboveground steel tank 10.5 feet in diameter by 15.67 feet high.
The clarifier capacity is 85,000 gallons. The calculated residence time for a single discharge from the wet
well (capacity of 5,000 gallons) is 17 hours, from the chrome tank (capacity of 15,000 gallons) is 5.67
hours, and from the cyanide tank (capacity of 37,500 gallons) is 2.27 hours.

Wastewater treatment sludges accumulates in the bottom of four batch treatment tanks and in the clarifier.
As of 1985, a JWI filter press and sludge drying process was installed to reduce the volume of the sludge
produced by the wastewater treatment processes. Since 1985 the sludges have been shipped off-site to
Laidlaw Environmental Services (now Safety-Kleen Corporation) for disposal.
1.2 Outfall 002 Noncontact Cooling water
Outfall 002 consists of noncontact cooling water used in the plastic molding machines. The source of the
water is potable water from the Town of Elizabethtown. The water moves through journals
(passageways) in the molding machines and out to a sump behind the plant (see Figure 2). The water is
one-time pass through (not recirculated).
1.3 Outfall 003 Ground Water Remediation System
In January 1990, a ground water treatment system became operational for a volatile organic compound
(VOCs) plume associated with the sludge drying beds. The treatment system was designed to treat 75 to
90 gallons of water per minute. Ground water is extracted from three 90 -foot deep wells, CW -1, CW -2,
and CW -3, and pumped into a 2,500 -gallon aeration treatment tank. The tank is 12 -feet tall and 6 -feet in
outer diameter and is constructed of 304 stainless steel. An oil -less regenerative blower supplies
approximately 50 SCFM of air into the tank through an injection system on the tank bottom. The aeration
of the ground water is used to both remove volatile organic compounds and mix the caustic soda used to
adjust the pH of the water. The treated ground water is then discharged through a continuous pH and
flow monitoring outlet into the drain from the plant's WWTP to the Cape Fear River through Veeder-
Root's NPDES permit.
The contaminant plume investigation determined that the plume consisted of 1,2 -dichlorobenzene, 1,1-
dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), tetrachloroethene (PCE), toluene, and trichloroethene (TCE). The
concentrations for the total VOCs detected ranged from 5.3 mg/L to less than 5 gg/L.

Potential Facility Changes
There are no planned expansions or upgrades for the Veeder-Root WWTP. The history of the
manufacturing operation for the last five years was reviewed to determine what potential changes could
be expected for the next five years. Over the last five years the amount of material being plated and
coated by Veeder-Root had decreased because they were no longer plating and coating parts for their
Altoona plant. The Elizabethtown plant phased out the plating and coating of parts for their Altoona plant
in 1996.
In 2000, Veeder-Root revised it treatment chemicals used in the cyanide and chromium treatment tanks.
This change in chemicals have resulted in better cyanide and metals removal. There should be no
required changes in WWTP chemicals over the next five years.
The only change that may occur over the next five years is reduction in the amount of material being
plated and coated.

1. Source of Sludges
Wastewater treatment sludges accumulates in the bottom of four batch treatment tanks and in the clarifier.
As of 1985, a JWI filter press and sludge drying process was installed to reduce the volume of the sludge
produced by the wastewater treatment processes. Since 1985 the sludges have been shipped off-site to
Laidlaw Environmental Services (now Safety-Kleen Corporation) for disposal.
Sludges are formed during the chromium treatment process by the following procedure:
1. Start mixer in tank to be treated and adjust pH to 1.5 or below with sulfuric acid
2. Add sodium bisulfate until all hexavalent chromium is converted to trivalent chromium
3. Mix tank for 45 minutes to one hour until all chromium is converted.
4. With mixer running, adjust pH to 6.5 with caustic soda.
5. Add CP32 (flocculant) while maintaining a pH of 6.5. Mix approximately 10 minutes.
6. Cutoff mixer and allow sludge in tank to form and settle at least 24 hours.
7. After sludge has settled, allow clear effluent to flow to acid and alkaline pump station
(wet well). Pump clear effluent from pump station to clarifier.
8. After clear effluent is removed, turn on sludge pump and wash sludge from treatment
tank to the sludge holding tank.
Sludges are formed during the cyanide treatment process by the following procedure:
1. Start mixer in tank to be treated and adjust pH to 12 or above with caustic soda and mix
for about one hour.
2. Add sodium hypochlorite while maintaining a pH of l l or higher until all cyanide is
destroyed.
3. Mix tank for 45 minutes to one hour before checking to see if all cyanide is destroyed.
4. With mixer running, adjust pH to 8.3 to 8.8 with sulfuric acid.
5. Add CP32 (flocculant) while maintaining a pH of 8.3 to 8.8. Mix approximately 20
minutes.
6. Cutoff mixer and allow sludge in tank to form and settle at least 24 hours.
7. After sludge has settled, allow clear effluent to flow to acid and alkaline pump station
(wet well). Pump clear effluent from pump station to clarifier.
8. After clear effluent is removed, turn on sludge pump and wash sludge from treatment
tank to the sludge holding tank.

2 Accumulation of Sludges
The sludges stored in the sludge holding tank are pumped to the JWI filter press where they are
consolidated under pressure to a dryer filter cake. The filter cake is placed in a rolloff in the small
building east of the sludge holding tank. Once a quarter, Safety-Kleen picks up the rolloff and transports
it to their Pinewood, South Carolina facility where it is mixed with other hazardous waste and then
shipped by rail to one of their licensed hazardous waste landfills. Effluent from the filter press goes back
to the cyanide tank until the effluent runs clear; then the effluent can be directed to the wet well.
3 NPDES Monitoring
Veeder-Root monitors the effluent through Outfall 004 weekly by sampling for total suspended solids as
an indicator for potential sludge releases. The WWTP operator checks the clarifier effluent throughout
the periods when a treatment tank is being discharged to visual insure that no sludges are being released.

Supplemental Data
Production Data
Veeder-Root manufactures many products at the facility including counters for flow meters and
odometers, timers and relays, and voting machines. However, not all the products result in wastewater
generation that requires treatment at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Rather than try to correlate
the number of counters, timers, relays, or voting machines to the production of wastewater, Veeder-Root
has looked at the raw chemical purchases for the plating and coating department. The plating and coating
department is the primary source of wastewater treated at the WWTP.
Eight chemicals were selected to track the generation of wastewater during the production of finished
goods. Other chemicals are used such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. but their volume used is dependent
on the usage of the eight selected chemicals. These chemicals are:
• Actane 342
• Chromium
• Iridite
• Nickel Sulfate
• Soap Cleaner
• Sodium Cyanide
• Zinc
• Zinc Brightener
Table 1 is a summary of the usage of these chemicals from 1995 through 2000. Figure 1 shows the use of
Iridite and zinc brightener. As can be seen in Table 1 and Figure 1, the usage of these chemicals have
been declining from 1995 through 2000. Figure 2 shows the usage of Actane 342 and soap cleaner. The
amount of Actane 342 and soap cleaner has been declining since 1995. Figure 3 shows a similar decline
in the usage of chromium, nickel sulfate, and sodium cyanide.
The spikes in the plots for Iridite (1997), nickel sulfate (1997), and Actane 342 (1997) represent volume
purchases for cost savings and not actual usage.
The data shown confirms that Veeder-Root is reducing the volume of plating and coating and thereby
reducing the volume of wastewater to be treated and discharged through Outfall 001.

Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NC0001121
Veeder-Root Company
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Thompson:
The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape
Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES
permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary
delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for
NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin.
This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30616 to October 31, 2001.
Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page.
All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit
modification 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.
In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is
May 4, 2001. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or
you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.huni. You
will need to download Short Form C. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit
any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin.
If any part of this permit modification 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 (6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Natalie Sierra at [phone],

Kristie, no name change material has appeared in my office. I'll send
you a copy of whatever I get, if I get anything.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - I had accumulated 30+ name
change requests and had to sort though them all before I could respond
to your query.
