Subject: Modification of Permit No. NCC000003
Haw River Nutrient Compliance
Association
Dear Ms. Groome:
The Division has reviewed the Haw River Nutrient Compliance Association's requests of June
17 and 26, 2019, for modification of its NPDES permit and is forwarding herewith the revised
cover sheet and Appendix A of the permit. Please replace the affected pages of your current
permit, issued December 22, 2016, with these revised pages. This minor 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, dated October 15, 2007.
The modified permit includes the following change, which becomes effective January 1, 2020:
Per the Association's request, Appendix A now includes the City of Burlington as a co-
permittee member and its treatment facilities as member facilities:
o Eastside WWTP, NC0023868, and
o Southside WWTP, NC0023876.
All other terms and conditions of the 2016 permit are unchanged and remain in full effect. With
the addition of these members, the Associations TP Limit increases to 100,0631b/yr delivered
load.
If any parts 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.
