The Division of Environmental Management. has received information from the Mooresville
Regional Office which confirms that the subject facility does not discharge to the surface waters of the
State of North Carolina. Therefore, NPDES Permit Number NC00591.45 was allowed to expire, effective
May 31, 1990.
If in the future, you determine that you wish to have a discharge, you must first apply for and
receive a new NPDES Permit. Discharging without a valid NPDES Permit will subject the discharger to a
civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day.
If there is a need for any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact
Robert Farmer at [phone].

F. TTO Monitoring Requirements
In lieu of requiring monitoring for TTO, the Division of Environmental
Management will allow the permittee to make the following certification
statement: "Based on ray inquiry of the person or persons directly
responsible for managing compliance with the permit limitation for total
toxic organics (TTO), I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and
belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the wastewaters
has occurred since filing of the last discharge monitoring report. I
further certifiy that this facility is implementing the solvent management
plan submitted to the Division of Environmental". This statement is to
be included as a comment on the discharge Monitoring Report. If monitoring
is necessary to measure compliance with the TTO standard, the permittee need
analyse for only those pollutants which would reasonably be expected to be
present. If the permittee wishes to certify in lieu of TTO monitoring
a solvent management plan shall be submitted to the Division of Environmental
within 180 days of the effective date of this permit. This solvent management
plan must specify to the satisfaction of the Division of Environmental Management
that the toxic organic compounds used, the method of disposal used instead of
dumping, such as reclamation, contract hauling, or incineration, and procedures
for ensuring that toxic organics do not routinely spill or leak into the waste-
water. For direct dischargers, the Division of Environmental Management shall
incorporate the plan as a provision of the permit.
G. Groundwater Monitoring
The permittee shall, upon written notice from the Director of the Division
of Environmental Management, conduct groundwater monitoring as may be
required to determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted facility
with the current groundwater standards.
