Dear Mr. Ward:
In accordance with your permit renewal request received May 19, 2021, and subsequent additional
information received July 14, 2021, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0014885 dated August 24,
2021, to Harnett County for continued operation of the subject residuals management program. Please note
that this renewed permit shall become effective on December 1, 2021 (i.e., the day after the expiration date
of the existing permit).
Modifications to the subject permit are as follows: The South Harnett Regional WWTP source has
been removed from Attachment A and the approved Max Dry Tons Per Year is 1,400 short tons.

Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachment A for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
Please note that on September 1, 2018, North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A Subchapter
02T Waste not Discharged to Surface Waters was readopted. Accordingly, this permit incorporates the
requirements of these rules, therefore, please take the time to review this permit thoroughly.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
December 28, 2016:
Old Condition III.7. This condition has been replaced by New Condition III.9.
