Mr. Weaver,
The current Wastewater Discharge Permit for West Rowan High School will
expire orb July 31, 1999. In accordance with the North Carolina General
stature 143.215.1 (c ), the Rowan —Salisbury Board of Education is
submitting their request for permit renewal along with the $ o renewal fee
for the West Rowan High School Wastewater treatment facility.
Since the 1994 renewal Permit there has been no major changes in the
facility. ,The sand filter material has been routinely cleaned and raked.
Some new filter material has been added to the beds. A degreasing agent is
also routinely added to the Grease receptacle and distribution holding tank.
The distributions box is pumped annually to remove excess sludge build-up.
The West Rowan High School facility has operated within the perimeter of
the effluent limitations and self monitoring requirements set by the State
since the 1994 permit was issued and should not have any problem under the
1999 permit for which is now being applied for.
