Permit Summary
NC0068918
This is a permit renewal for a discharge into Horsepasture River in the
Savannah River Basin. As per the project engineer, the facility has not
been constructed. In 1992 the Division granted an AtoC for a 0.013 MGD
facility and the project was canceled. At this time no AtoC has been granted
to Resource Planning Corporation for construction of a 0.10 MGD facility.
Permits and Engineering will recommend existing limitations with
monitoring reflective of current regulations for a class II facility. If the
Permittee chooses to install ultraviolet disinfection, the chlorine limit
should be removed. Once construction is complete, the region must verify
facility class and components.
