Section 5. Changes from previous permit to draft:

not show the location of the facility or outfall. The map in the final permit has
been corrected.

classification have been corrected in the final issued permit. Previous permits had
indicated a stream segment of 6-67-(1) which is Bent Creek from its source to
Powhatan Lake dam and is a class B;Trout waterbody. However, the outfall
location for the discharge is actually located below Powhatan Lake in segment 6-
67-(7) which is still Bent Creek, but is class B and does not carry the Trout water
designation.

Mr. Jones,
We will make the change to include you as the Point of Contact. For issuance of the permit, who should
be the new Legally Responsible Party for the Forest Service taking Mr. Nocholas spot? I have included
here a contact list that we have in our system for your permit. Please let me know of other changes that
should be made based on this report.
Also, could you let me know if electronic transmittal of the final document is okay.
Thanks

Good evening Mr. Bennett, I hope all is well with you and your family. Could you please change the POC on the
permit for Lake Powhatan to James Barry Jones rather than Allen Nicholas and Karl Buchholz.
I'll be your POC as Karl has moved to SC and no longer working in NC and Allen has retired.

Hope you're all well.
NCDENR is preparing to issue our NPDES Permit for Lake Powhatan but there's a change in how they're handling
business at NCDENR.
Also there will need to be new points of contact as the Allen and I are the current ones.

Mr. Nicholas,
I just wanted to touch base about you NPDES permit renewal for Lake Powhatan Lake WWTP. The
permit has finished it's notice period and we are getting things ready for final issuance. I have taken
over finalization of the permit as the previous permit writer (Brianna Young) has taken a new job within
our Department. You may have had communications with Brianna previously about electronic
transmittal of documents. If so, I apologize for the duplication of the information below.
In order to provide more convenience, control, and security to our permittees and assist them in processing their
transactions, The Division of Water Resources is currently transitioning towards electronic correspondence. This
will hopefully provide more efficient service to our permittees and other partners and will allow us to more
effectively process and track documents. We are writing to ask you for your approval of the transmittal of
documents related to your permitting and related activities with the Division in an electronic format. Documents
will be emailed to the appropriate contact person(s) in your organization in a PDF format.
Please respond to me through email with verification that transmittal of your documents in an electronic
manner is acceptable to you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks Linda! So, it looks like the segment is actually (7) and it isn't trout. I'll get these changes made in the permit and make sure it is
correct in BIMS.

Hey Linda,
I have attached a word file with some screen shots from the classifications website. Could you help be verify the location and stream
segment. I think this outfall is actually in segment 6-67-(7) which is below the lake and class B. Let me know what you think.
Have a good weekend!

The USGS quad is Skyland. Don't know the HUC or Subbasin. Thought Bent Crk was trout. You'll need to check on the segment but I think it is 1 not 7.
And the lat/long is 35 28' 57.2"N/82 37' 21.8"W.

Hi Bradley,
This is the draft I received.
The map in this draft is wrong. See below for correct location (not the blue circled X, that is one of my marks for something else), the topo itself even
shows the "sewage disposal".

Hey Linda,
Hope you are doing well.
Since Brianna has moved on to the Stormwater Program I have been reassigned some of the renewals she was working on. This is one of
them and it is set to be issued. I think I saw something in the files to indicate this one was yours. I didn't see any response back on the draft
permit so I just wanted to make sure you were okay with this one before getting it finalized. I think Brianna sent the draft to you guys back
in July maybe.
Let me know if it is okay to go.
Thanks

Linda — here are a couple of maps from our stream classifications website. Could you verify the
segment? I believe the discharge outfall is below the Lake (Powhatan) which looks like it would be in
stream segment 6-67-(7) which would be class B.
