Dear Mr. Thomas:
The Division of Water Resources (Division)has reviewed your Engineering Alternative Analysis(EAA)
for Pembroke WWTP. The Division concurs with the conclusions and recommendations of the EAA.
The EAA you have submitted is sufficient to meet the Alternative Analysis requirements for an expanded
discharge.
The Division will now proceed to drafting the permit renewal with expansion. With effluent limits .
calculated,the draft permit will be publicly noticed in a regional newspaper.The entire permitting
process may take between 60 and 120 days.If the draft permit causes significant protests from local
citizens,governmental organizations,and/or environmental groups a public hearing may be scheduled
and issuance of the final permit may be further delayed. In some cases,the Division may modify or deny
the request for an expanded permit based on the public hearing results.
If you have any questions about the NPDES permit process, contact me at the following e-mail address—
[e-mail], or telephone number 919-306-1017(cell).
