Receiving water classification(s) for the waters: WATER SUPPLY IV (WS-IV) / NUTRIENT SENSITIVE WATERS (NSW)
If the site will discharge to a separate storm sewer system, name the operator of the separate storm sewer
system (e.g. City of Raleigh municipal storm sewer). N/A
Note: Discharge of process wastewater to receiving waters classified as public water supply WS-II
to WS-V must be approved by the Public Water Supply Section of the Division of Water
Resources. If DWR does not approve, coverage under NCG240000 cannot be granted. No new
discharges of process wastewater are permitted in receiving waters classified as WS-Ior
freshwater ORW. Similarly, the Division of Environmental Health Shellfish Sanitation Program
must approve process wastewater discharges to SA shellfish waters.
