Dear Mr. Rogers:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO026271 was
issued on May 15, 1992 for the discharge of wastewater .to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to.comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so,
it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of
particular importance are Pages 4-5.
Pages 4-5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring
requirements for your discharge(s).. Your discharge(s) must not
exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies,
sample types. and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your

monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on the
reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not
received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you
fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly
as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing
the form. it is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as

event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process
failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified
wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating
wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater
being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of
wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by
this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section-143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation plus criminal
penalties may be assessed for such violations. If you find at
any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and
conditions of the Permit, you should contact this office
immediately. A Consent order -may be necessary while pursuing
action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.
Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than
180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration
date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the
Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If
you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should
request that the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read
the Permit and contact this office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville
if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward
to providing any assistance.
