Reclaimed Water Generation and
Dedicated Utilization System
Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Tilma:
In accordance with your permit renewal request received February 10, 2020, and subsequent
additional information received June 11, 2020 and September 16, 2020, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0013398 dated October 21, 2020, to 904 Georgetown Treatment Plant, LLC for the construction
and operation of the unconstructed reclaimed water generation system, as well as the continued operation
of the existing reclaimed water generation and dedicated utilization facilities.
The following modifications to the subject permit are as follows:
➢ The facility description has been updated to accurately depict current operations of the 150,000
gallon per day (GPD) plant.
➢ Fields P-1 through P-9, P-DR, and S-1 though S-9 have been removed because there is no
record of these fields being permitted. Only fields associated with the Bay Course have been
permitted.
➢ The permitted flow of the system has been reduced to 306,500 GPD to correspond with the
disposal capacity of the currently permitted fields.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through January 31, 2027, shall void Permit
No. WQ0013398 issued February 16, 2015, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein.
The Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than August 4, 2026.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A and B for they may differ
from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining
the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
