Subject: Acknowledgement of Receipt - 2020 Annual Report
City of Belmont - Permit WQ0003281
Land Application of Residuals
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Miller:
The referenced Annual Report was received electronically on May 20th, 2021. The report stated there was
no land application conducted under this permit in 2020. Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) staff reviewed
the one -page report during the January inspection; but, upon follow-up with your land application contractor
and Belmont WWTP staff, confirmed an oversight led to the late submittal.
Per conversation with Ms. Tanya Carter on May 20th, 2021, the oversight may have occurred from a
misunderstanding with their land application contractor as to who was to submit the "electronic" report.
Belmont staff has routinely mailed reports in a timely manner, apologized for this oversight and stated going
forward Belmont staff would also handle electronic submittal.
The MRO has no further questions related to the 2020 Annual Report. To avoid future violations please
ensure Annual Reports are submitted in accordance with your permit by March 1st each year.
Please be aware that non-compliance with your permit could result in enforcement action by the Division of
Water Resources for these and any additional violations of State law.
You may contact Maria Schutte at Maria.Schutte(c�ncdenr.gov or 704-235-2184 with questions.
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:
