CR Industries-Gaston

Dear Mr. Schuh:
The Division issued NPDES permit NCO004260 to the CR Industries on November
26, 1996. The last permit modification was issued on December 14, 1998. August 27, 1999,
the division received notice that the industrial-domestic combined wastewater treatment
system had ceased operation. Therefore, as of September 1, 1999, CR Industries' operation
of the groundwater remediation system is permitted per page A(2) `Effluent Limitations
and Monitoring Requirements' contained in the December 14, 1998 NPDES modified
permit. Page A(1) should be removed from your permit and discarded.
With regards to the increase in flow from 10 gpm (0.0144 MGD) to 11 gpm (0.0158
MGD), increasing flow is defined as a major modification requiring 30-day public notice.
The division recommends that flow modification be postponed until NPDES permit renewal
(the current permit expires September 30, 2001). Please document in the renewal
application, which is due 180 days prior to expiration, CR Industries' desire to modify the
permitted flow from 0.0144 MGD to 0.0158 MGD.
This permit modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
