Dear Mr. Draovitch:
NORTH CAROLINA

December 12, 2019
Subject: Permit Modification
Permit NCO024406
Belews Creek Steam Station
Stokes County
Facility Class I
The Division has received your request to allow decanting via Outfall 006A. The request has been
granted. This modification becomes effective immediately. Enclosed with this letter are 2 pages that
include necessary changes. Please replace the existing permit pages with the modified pages.
The permit modification contains the following significant changes from your current
permit:
• Internal Outfall 006A now allows discharge of the wastewater from the decanting procedure.
• The Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (Monthly Average and Daily Maximum) for Total Lead
have been reduced (Internal Outfall 006A) due to the increase in the flow through this Outfall.
The projected decanting flow is 5.5 MGD.
No other changes have been made. This permit modification 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.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to
be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Sergei Chernikov,
telephone number [phone] or email: [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Linda Culpepper, Director
