Re: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0006033
Eagle Road WWTP
Gaston County
Dear Ms. Rodriguez:
RECEIVED/NCDW
FER 21 10f7R

Thank you for sending the draft of Eagle Road WWTP's renewed NPDES permit which we received
February 2, 2017. We have reviewed this draft, and appreciate the thorough preparation and the
changes that were made in limits and monitoring frequencies following the data review. In
accordance with your request, we would like to submit the following comments for potential
modifications for the final permit:
• In the cover letter, Eagle Road is listed as a Class IV Facility instead of a Class III facility as it has
previously been identified.
• The address for the Eagle Road WWTP should be listed as 661 Eagle Road, Belmont on pages 1
and 2.
• The currently active permit lists the "flow equalization basin" which is not included in the
treatment components list on page 2 of the draft permit. While this basin is only rarely utilized,
we ask that it to remain included in the permit. "Emergency storage basin" may be a more
appropriate name for the basin since it is not set up for regular use.
• "DWQ Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for
Exceptionally Performing Facilities" states that facilities meeting the requirements may have
monitoring reduced to 2/week. The Eagle Road WWTP met the requirements for BOD, TSS,
ammonia and fecal coliform, but monitoring was only reduced to 3/week. We respectfully ask
that the minimum requirement for this monitoring be reduced to 2/week.
• Standard Conditions were not included with the draft permit. We do not have any comments
on Standard Conditions if version 11/09/2011.1 is included.

We appreciate DWR's work on this permit and have no other comments on the draft at this time. If I
can be of any assistance please feel free to contact me at 704-866-6726 or email at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
