Subject: Pretreatment Review of Industrial Waste Survey (IWS)
Program: City of New Bern
WWTP: City of New Bern - NPDES No NC0025348, 6.5 MGD
Craven County
Dear Bruce Van,
The Municipal Unit of the Division of Water Resources has reviewed the April 26, 2021, IWS for the City of New
Bern. Proper completion of an IWS is required by the City's NPDES permit referenced above. The review
indicates that the IWS is adequate and meets the requirements of 40 CFR 403.8 (f) (2).
The City's IWS included 37 commercial establishments/industries and has 5 Significant Industrial Users (SIUs)
permitted to discharge 0.016 MGD.
Please remember it is the responsibility of the POTW to continue efforts to ensure that any SIU, as defined by
NCAC 15A 2H .0903(b)(30) (A) through (D), are identified and subsequently added to the City's pretreatment
program. This includes evaluation of new IUs before they commence discharge and evaluation of existing Ws
determined to be not SIUs that make changes to their process.
Next IWS Due Date: May 14, 2026, unless conditions at the POTW change significantly and thus warrant an
earlier submittal. Furthermore, within 180 days of the effective date of any reissued/modified NPDES permit, the
Permittee would be required to submit to the Division a written technical evaluation of the need to revise local
limits (i.e., an updated IWS, or documentation of why one is not needed). This action may include revising,
updating, or adding to the list of SIUs. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H .0907(b) either the Division or the permittee
may initiate pretreatment program revisions.
Thank you for your continued cooperation with the Pretreatment Program. If you have any questions or comments,
please contact Diana Yitbarek at 919 707-9130/[e-mail], or the Unit Supervisor, Michael
Montebello, at 919 707-3624/[e-mail].
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:
