Alexander County, NC
Dear Mr. Hawes:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO072664 was issued on
December 29, 1999 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 and 5.
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for
your discharge. Your discharge 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 discharge (or
operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be
entered on reporting forms furnished or approved 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 required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee
may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our
Raleigh Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent
enforcement action or possible revocation of your permit.

Mr. Hawes

The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and
special conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or
discharge(s). The conditions include special reporting requirements in the 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, expansion 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 $25,000 per violation (and/or 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 Special Order by Consent (SOC) 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 automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this
Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or
request that the Division of Water Quality reissue the Permit to another party, if
necessary.
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 of you have any questions or need clarification. We look
forward to providing any assistance.
