Easley, Governor The Honorable Goldston Womble, Jr. Mayor, Town of White Lake PO Box 7250 White Lake, NC 28337 December:17, 2001 RESPONSE: Town of White Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit No. NC0023353 Bladen County Dear Mr. Womble: William G. Ross Jr., Secretary - Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Quality A written request was received in this office dated August 28, 2001 from the Town of White Lake to waive the composite sampling requirement for the Influent and Effluent sampling that is required in the NPDES permit. This office has reviewed the request with the following conclusion. Administrative Code Section: 15A NCAC 2B .0505-(c)(3)(B) states in part: "Samples, of the influent and effluent of the water pollution control facility or other point source shall be composite samples, except as provided in Rule .0505(c)(3)(C) of this Section, or for facilities with design flows of 30,000 gallons per day or less unless required by the Director". In keeping with the terms and conditions set forth in your. NPDES permit and in an attempt to be consistent with other facilities we ask that the Town of White Lake to begin utilizing composite samples for both Influent and Effluent sampling as soon as possible but in no case later than December 31, 2002. We feel that by giving the Town this length of time the Town should be able to budget monies necessary to purchase appropriate sampling equipment to meet NPDES permit requirements If you or your staff have any questions regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me at 910- 486-1541. ,Sin`cerely, Paul Rawls Water Quality Regional Supervisor /bsh cc: Central Files FRO Files • Fayetteville Regional Office. 225 Green Street- Suite 714, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Phone: 910-486-15411 FAX: 910-486-07071 Internet: www.enr.state.nc.us/ENR An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled 110% Post Consumer Paper
