Subject: NC0033111 - instream monitoring at 1 MGD
Mike, this message is for you and for the permit file.
The 2018 permit renewal for NC0033111 retains the 3-dimensional instream monitoring setup at the 1.0 MGD flow
phase. Due to the complexity of the monitoring requirements, the difficulty in entering the requirements into BIMS, and
the low probability that the expansion to 1.0 MGD will occur during this permit cycle, I have NOT added the instream
monitoring to BIMS.
Should the permittee ever announce expansion to 1.0 MGD, we will need to evaluate the WWTP with the EPA Rating
Sheet to determine if this would make it a Major permit. No privately -owned 100% domestic discharge has ever
expanded to 1 MGD or beyond. At this juncture, we also don't know what changes may occur to the Neuse Nutrient
rules.
This is just FYI. If they do expand to 1 MGD, the instream requirements can be entered into BIMS at that time. Let me
know if you have any questions.
