Jeff and I talked with Town of Mooresville and their consultant CH2M on Wednesday. They were just touching upon
previous discussions to have ultimate discharge to Lake Norman, and whether DWQ would entertain. Sounds like they
want to retain the 7.5 MGD discharge to Dye Creek, and put new outfall (10 MGD or less) to Lake Norman. Still
reviewing reuse potential. IBT issues might drive process. They said Catawba Riverkeeper was on board with proposed
discharge. We don't see any huge red flags at this time, and said we would get back with them next week. Any MRO
concerns?

Allison/Ryan- a few clarifications:

Gvn� ial�,t �y /a MW tidtje to Cic A/1114.•..
• I was referring to State rules within 15A NCAC 2H.0138(a), which includes... " If an
has not been applied for in accordance with the requirements of the NPDES permit during the term of the
permit, the permit will be considered void upon expiration and future actions will be considered as a new
application."
• This section requires that an ATC permit be applied for (does not mention "obtained") within the NPDES permit
term, otherwise the NPDES permit will be considered void upon expiration. Based on this, I think you would
need to go through SEPA, then apply for NPDES permit upon FONSI determination, then submit ATC application
within permit term. If NPDES permit is issued but there is no subsequent ATC application, it could open legal
challenge to NPDES permit at next permit renewal. This would be unusual, but it's possible. Generally we are
operating on the flip side- where the permittee needs to start construction ASAP, and is doing whatever they
can to expedite SEPA/NPDES permitting/ATC issuance.
• I'm also attaching recent comments received from Catawba Riverkeeper concerning the proposed permit
renewal for Hwy 150 WWTP, which discharges to Lake Norman. I can envision similar comments to a proposed
Town of Mooresville discharge to Lake Norman.
If you have further questions, feel free to call or email.

Subject: RE: Mooresville NC future NPDES permit questions
Tom,
Thank you again for taking the time to speak with Ryan and I regarding the process and rules regarding NPDES permits.
I've read the State Statute 15A NCAC 2H.01398, and understand it to state that, if we were to obtain an NPDES permit
for a new discharge to Lake Norman, we would have to have received (not just applied for) an Authorization to
Construct prior to expiration of the NPDES permit. As I understand our conversation, you had stated that an NPDES
permit is valid for 5 years.
