MEMORANDUM
To: Mr. Mark Keyzer
From: Charles H. Weaver, Jr.
NPDES Unit
Subject: NPDES Permit NCO036919 / OLd Beaufort Elementary School WWTP
Operation of catering business
This memorandum is in response to your fax requesting the Division's authorization to
operate a catering business in the subject facility. The Division does not object to your
proposal. Based on your description of the activities to be conducted, the existing
wastewater treatment system should be of adequate design to handle the wastewater your
operation will generate.
Be aware that the subject facility discharges to a "zero -flow" stream, a waterbody that has
no naturally occurring flow during dry weather conditions. Potential impacts to water quality
are much greater in such streams, and impacts at the point of discharge may persist
downstream as a result. The Division strongly recommends that all such discharges be
connected to regional collection & treatment systems.
You are strongly advised to minimize any discharge of grease into the wastewater system.
Collect grease from cooking equipment prior to washing and dispose of it separately.
Excessive grease could limit the system's treatment efficiency, or cause a system failure.
Incomplete treatment or failure of the treatment system would cause harm to the receiving
stream as well as make the Town of Pantego liable for civil enforcement action.
To discuss operational steps that will minimize the risk to the treatment system, contact Mr.
Al Hodge in the Washington Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
l4k

To Charles H. Weaver, Jr. NPDES Unit:
We are Mark and Anna Keyzer, owners of a small catering business that is planning to
lease the kitchen in the former Beaufort County Elementary school cafeteria. We need a
permitted kitchen in which to work out of in the Beaufort County area. We, as a family,
have marry jobs besides the catering. Mark farms, tends hogs, and owns a meat route
that covers Beaufort and Hyde County. I, Anna Keyzer, teach full time at Terra Ceia
Christian School. The catering business is operated usually on the weekends. It will
never be a full time 24/7 restaurant, cafeteria, or catering business. Our water usage in the
past establishment that we had was never more that 5000 gallons of water per month.
Most of our menu is cooked on site. The kitchen's main use will be preparation for a
simple menu. We will not be washing dishes that are served to the public. We ale open to
the idea of establishing hook up to the county sewer system in the future.
Number of engagements per week: 1 to 3
Menu: grilled steak and pork loin on site with baked potato, salad, dessert
pig picking on site, with slaw, stewed potatoes, beans, corn bread
Utensils: single service
Building Use: mostly prep, minimum washing
Water Usage: less than .5000 gallons per month
The Beaufort County Health Department has inspected the kitchen and feels that it will
adequately fill our needs. The kitchen has .met all their qualifications, but the health
department needs a letter from you stating that the current sewer system can handle our
limited amount of water usage. 'Phis said letter is the last step to the kitchen being
permitted and us moving in. We thank you for you expediency given to this matter.
Sincerely,
�5x�
Mark and Arena Key7or
