Dear Mr. Keister:
The staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) has received documentation indicating the
Industrial User Pretreatment Permit, number 0028, issued by the City of Lincolnton to Celadon
Recycling Solutions was revoked by the City of Lincolnton effective April 27, 2020. This issue
requires Division of Water Resources (DWR) to ask how all wastewaters are being handled at the
site and who is operating the site.
Please respond in writing to the following items:
1. Describe and provide documentation of all domestic and industrial wastewater streams
and how both are being handled and disposed of.
2. Specifically describe how any parts of the wastewater treatment system described in Non -
Discharge Permit #WQ0003924 are being utilized.
3. Provide information about the ownership and operation of the site including details of the
relationship between Linco Partnership and Celadon Recycling Solutions as it may relate
to wastewater at the site.

Charge of the permitted Non -Discharge system.
Please respond to the above noted items within 10 calendar days of receipt of this letter. Your
response will be used to determine if further action is necessary by the Division.
A review of our files indicates the subject Non -Discharge permit was issued on March 26, 2019,
as a result of Linco Partnership's written request to change ownership. Please be advised that
several conditions of the permit require written and verbal notification to DWR prior to operation
of the Non -Discharge wastewater treatment system. Also, please be advised that the subject permit
only allows for waste streams as described in your permit application.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact our office by phone at 704-235-2198 or by
