RE: Discharge Monitoring Report
To Asheville Regional Office;
Main Office:
Blue Ridge Southern Railroad
2 Depot Street
Canton, North Carolina 28716
December 14, 2020
The Blue Ridge Southern Railroad (BLU) Canton Yard is covered under NPDES permit
NCG080958. As part of permit coverage, the BLU is required to submit Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) on a semi-annual basis. The first and second 2020 semi-annual DMRs were
submitted by mail to the Central Files office in Raleigh as directed in the prior DMR instructions.
On December 8'h, 2020 I spoke with Paul Clark on from the Stormwater Program, who instructed
us to use eDMR to upload the electronic files and also send originals to Asheville Regional Office.
Due to the change in submission address, we believe that the 2020 DMRs were not received at the
proper DEQ office. Therefore, we are resubmitting the DMRs for the 2020 semi-annual
monitoring periods. Please note that these reports were originally submitted on -time.
Please contact me at iennifer.welchl7g,watco.com or at [phone] should you have any
questions.
Best Regards,
`YJaC..R\

Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
'The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4See General Permit text, Table 1, identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
Note: Results must be reported in numerical format. For example, do not report Below Detection Limit, BDL, <PQL, Non -detect, ND, or other similar non -
numerical format. When results are below the applicable limits, they must be reported in the format, "<XX mg/L", where XX is the numerical value of the
detection limit, reporting limit, etc. in mg/L. Conversely, where fecal coliform results exceed the dilution upper limit, report the result as ">XX".
