Bethany,
Thanks for your email reminder. I actually had this on the top pile of my to do
list. I do not see any issues with this facility. You can move forward with the
COC. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Belinda,
I just wanted to touch base before leaving for the holidays later this week since.
I'll be out for a little while. If there are no concerns with this facility, I
can -issue this COC before the Christmas holiday, but if you'd like us to hold it
longer for any staff review, no worries. Thanks,
BG

Hi, Belinda,
We've received an NOT from Fex Straw Manufacturing, Inc. for the GP for
Miscellaneous Manufacturing (NCG05) for their facility in Lumberton. The site
manufactures straw for horse bedding (? I'd never heard of that before! Those are
either some posh horses, or I just never thought about how horses need bedding
:P). The site discharges stormwater to a UT to Jacks Branch, classified WS-IV Sw
waters.
Attached is a copy of the NOI for the appropriate staff. Does the FRO have any
concerns with issuing a COC to this facility?
Thanks,
BG
