Public Notice
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources
NPDES Unit - 1617 Mail Service Center - Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Notice of intent to revoke NPDES Permit NC0086053 Pilot Travel Center #393, deny
permittee's renewal application, and/or deny a permit transfer request.
Pilot Travel Centers, LLC [5508 Lonas Drive, Knoxville, TN 37909] applied for renewal
of NPDES permit NC0086053 (Permit) for its wastewater treatment plant (WWTP),
located at 3712 Crabtree Road in Waynesville, N.0 (Haywood County). This WWTP
discharged treated wastewater to Stingy Branch, a tributary to the Pigeon River in the
French Broad River Basin. After submitting its permit renewal application, the permittee
terminated the discharge by connecting wastewater flows to a publicly owned treatment
works (POTW) and razing its WWTP. After the wastewater was routed to a POTW and
closure of the WWTP was nearly complete, the permittee and Junaluska Sanitary
District submitted a request to have the Permit transferred to Junaluska Sanitary District
via a minor modification/ownership name change.
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources
(DWR) proposes to revoke NPDES permit NC0086053 or, in the alternative, deny the
permittee's renewal application. DWR is also proposing to deny the request for an
ownership name change via minor modification. Written comments regarding the
proposed actions will be accepted until 30 days after the publication of this notice. The
Director of DWR may hold a public hearing should there be a significant degree of
public interest. Please mail comments and/or information requests to DWR at the above
address. Interested persons may visit DWR at 512 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC
27604 to review information on file. Additional information on NPDES permits and this
notice may be found on our website: http-//deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-
