Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) renew the NPDES permit NC0023604 issued to Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc., SFD/ 64 Lumber Plant. There have been no changes to the facility since the permit was issued on April 26, 1999. The appropriate renewal forms are enclosed in this letter. SFD/64 Lumber Plant does not have a formal sludge management plan. When the waste solids build up at the wastewater treatment plant, approximately every two to three years, Neal's Septic Tank Pumping Service is called upon to pump off the solid waste. Mr. Neal Fayne, Owner and Operator of this service, properly disposes of the solid waste by taking it to the City of High Point Waste Treatment Plant. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this permit renewal, please feel free to contact Rochelle Chisom, Manager of Environmental Affairs at (336) 476-2264 or via e- mail at rchisom@thomasville.com.
