Thanks very much for the guidance.
Suzanne,
I have attached a scan of a letter I placed in the mail today for review and consideration of renewing our representative
outfall status.
If you have need of anything else regarding this request please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm sorry the response has been delayed. We just lost our General Permit coordinator who was handling general permit
inquiries, but another one should be hired soon. Suzanne McCoy who handles ROS requests is out until Thursday. I
would recommend making a formal request to renew the ROS status and sending that to Suzanne, who has a procedure
to route it through the Regional Office. This would be the best way to cover your bases in the meantime.
Best,

Hi Bethany,
Sorry to bother you, but I had not yet received a response to the email below. Can you comment on whether we would
be able to retain our representative outfall status? Our first sampling of the quarter I may have to complete very soon
so I was hoping to clear this up.
I'm assuming if we can, I should also send this request in writing.
Thanks,
Dave Schaefer

Hello,
I was reading the overview slides for the updated stormwater permits including NCG060000 Food and Kindred. I noticed
that the slides mentioned confirming with NCDEQ that representative outfall status was renewed with the new permits
and certificates.
I had not yet made any formal requests to this point to extend our representative outfall status, but I did mention it in
my email to sign up for eDMRs.
Can you confirm if our ROS status can be renewed for the duration of the next certificate (or beyond)?
I have attached the initial request for ROS status granted in 2014 by David Parnell. This was confirmed via phone or
email with NCDEQto be renewed as an ROS for the previous two Certificates as well (most recently in 2018). While I
have updated the current state of total outfalls to correct what was submitted then, I can confirm that our outfall
number 5 includes all possibilities of activity that would make it a representative outfall.
Also, I noticed in the slides that an ROS could also be granted for qualitative monitoring as well in wake of the new
quarterly analytical requirements. While I do not see a form to be used to make this request, I'd be very interested in
making this change also.
I can also submit this request in writing to NCDEQ, however I was awaiting your guidance as to any official forms that
must be submitted if needed or if only a written request to renew was sufficient.
Thanks for your assistance,

Renewal of Representative Outfall #5
Suzanne,
o
GlaxoSmithKline
This is letter represents GlaxoSmithKline Zebulon's request to continue to retain our representative
outfall status for outfall #5 at our site. I can confirm from personal experience completing the Qualitative
monitoring of all our outfalls that #5 still is representative of all potential activity impacting storm water at
this site.
I also want to confirm that if we can retain our ROS status for #5, that we would only need to enter
the analytical in the eDMR for outfall #5 in the period starting January 1, 2022.
Thank you for your review of this request.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
