Dear Mr. Goodrich:
The purpose of this letter is to request an exemption from the Centralized Waste Treatment
(CWT) Point Source Category 40 CFR Part 437. The Canton Mill treats wastewater from the
Town of Canton.
The reason for this request is 40 CFR Part 437.1 b2b which states, in part, as follows:
"...demonstrates that the off-site wastes are of similar nature and the treatment of such wastes
are compatible with the treatment of non-CWT wastes generated and treated". The Canton Mill
began treatment of the Town of Canton's wastewater when wastewater treatment plant
operations began prior to February 24, 1964 (Agreement Attached).
The continuing treatment of municipal wastewater from prior to 1964 to present and the
excellent wastewater treatment plant performance demonstrate that off-site wastes are similar in
nature and compatible with the treatment of non-CWT wastewater.
If you have any questions or need additional information please call me at(828) 646-2318.
Sincerely,
Derric Brown
