RE: Notification of Intent to Renew a NPDES Wastewater Permit for Town of w
McAdenville (NC0020052) dated October 27, 2004.
Dear Ms. Bryant:
We would like to submit comments on the above proposed NPDES permit
renewal, which would continue the discharge of treated wastewater into the South Fork
Catawba River.
According to DHEC monitoring data, the Lake Wylie is impaired by copper levels
above the Mill Creek arm at the end of road S-46-557. South Carolina's standard for
copper is 2.9 ugll.
In addition, Lake Wylie (Crowders Creek arm at SC highways 49 and 274) and
the Catawba River (at South Carolina Highway 21) are impaired by fecal coliform
bacteria. South Carolina's standards for fecal coliform in the Catawba River are "not to
exceed a geometric mean of 2001100ml based on five day consecutive samples during
any 30 day period; nor shall more than 10% of the total samples examined during any 30
day period exceed 4001100ml."
Please ensure that any permitted activities will not contribute to violations of
South Carolina standards. Thank you for considering these comments when reviewing,
revising, and issuing this permit. If you need more information, please contact Mark
Giffin at [phone] or [e-mail] for assistance.

Modification and Renewal of NPDES Permit
No. NCO020052
Gaston County,NC
Dear Ms. Stephens:
The Town.of McAdenville requests the renewal of the subject permit with an expiration
date of January 31, 2005. Please find attached the original and two copies of this letter,
the permit application, sludge management plan, and letters of information dated
February 4 and December 12, 1992 regarding the polishing pond modification request.
There have been no changes in the facility since the permit was last issued. However,
future plans are to permanently close the old "polishing" pond-that was abandoned in
1992. This pond did not add additional treatment to the effluent of the WW'iP and will
not be needed in the future. A modification of the permit to eliminate and close the
"polishing" pond-is requested. The proper closure procedures will be followed and any
remaining sludge will be disposed of in accordance with regulations.
Please contact me at (704) 823-23 10 to advise of any other requirements that need to be
submitted for the permit modification and renewal. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
