BISER Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director Watts Regulator 100 Watts Road Spindale, NC 28160 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality November 1.2021 Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Permit No. NCG030251 Representative Outfall Status Request Watts Regulator Rutherford County Dear Sir or Madam: The Asheville Regional Office staff have reviewed your request dated October 21, 2021, for a determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 002 be granted representative outfall status for stormwater outfalls 001, 003, 004, and 005. Based on the information and maps provided, and during a site inspection on October 21, 2021, we are approving this request for outfall 003 only. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample outfall number 002 as a representative of outfall 003. This approval is effective with the next sampling event. We also want to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status. Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in the tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented by SDO 002, where appropriate. Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document that representative outfall status for SDO 002 has been approved for SDO 003. If changes in drainage areas, structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all SDOs, or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated information. If you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact me at 828-296-4500. Sincerely, tanley E.
