Re: Transmittal Letter for Industrial User Pretreatment Permit No. 3002
Dear Mr. Dunn:
Your Industrial User Pretreatment Permit, No. 3002, is enclosed. This permit
is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and the local Sewer Use Ordinance.
Please read this permit carefully. 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. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be
final and binding.
Industries must submit report to City WWTP Semi-Annually. I recommend
sampling at the beginning of each six month period, in case of a resample needs to
be done. Keep in mind that if a report is late, you will be in Siginficant Non-
Compliance (SNC). Reports will be due by the 15t"of the following month.
Please sign the receipt page of this permit and return one copy to this office.
Sincerely,
---- ( -11‘5 )
