SUBJECT: Annual Progress Report
NPDES Permit No, NCO086975
Carteret County, NC
Dear Mr. Hennessy,
County Manager
Tommy R. Burns, II
Clerk to the Board
Rachel B. Hammer
Carteret County operates and maintains a central water treatment plant on Laurel Road that supplies water to
the County water system. The treatment plant utilizes greensand filters and ion exchange filters to treat the
water. Backwash from the filters is discharged to Feltons Creek via NPDES Permit NC0086975. Monitoring
data indicates Carteret County will not be able to comply with the limit for copper (1.85 micrograms/liter) that
becomes effective November 1, 2022. Condition A.(3.) in the Permit requires the County submit annually a
written progress report to the Division describing actions the County plans to take to achieve compliance by
November 1, 2022. This letter is provided in compliance with Condition A.(3).
Several options have been explored and the chosen option is the Pilot Study by Purologix Water Services,
headed and tested by Mr. Russ Elmore, President and owner of Purologix Water Services. This option was
budgeted for and approved by the Carteret County Board of Commissioners.
The attached Pilot Study is to start in 2022. Carteret County will work toward the elimination of copper to reach
compliance by November 1, 2022.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to me.
Thank you,
or
jrl ommy Burns
