RE: WWTP Operational Compliance Status & Future Extension of Sewer Service
Eagle Creek WWTP
Permit No. WQ0014306
Currituck County
Dear Mr. Gottlieb:
Review of available monitoring data and on -site inspection findings have identified continued
operational performance issues for the Eagle Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant that have existed over
a period of several months. Consequently, the Division of Water Resources has issued several Notices
of Violation (NOVs) and Civil Penalty Assessments (CPAs) in response to non-compliance with Non -
Discharge Reclaimed Water Permit No. WQ0014306. Such NOVs and CPAs are referenced in
provided attachments.
Please note, both past and any continued chronic WWTP facility non-compliance, whether
failure to satisfy performance monitoring limits or operational conditions, may jeopardize the
Division's ability to support approval of future sewer line extension projects that would direct new
wastewater flow to the Eagle Creek WWTP. In addition, chronic facility non-compliance may also
result in establishment of a sewer moratorium prohibiting further sewer extensions and connections
while in affect.
The Division welcomes dialogue related to resolution of any outstanding Eagle Creek WWTP
operational performance concerns, along with any facility improvements that may be necessary to
allow the plant to perform properly.
