Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, submits this National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for
coverage under General Permit NCG500000 for industrial discharges
associated with non -contact cooling water, condensate, blow down, and
other similar point source discharges. Non -contact cooling water and
condensate, and blow down were removed from coverage as incidental
discharges in our recently renewed NPDES storm water permit, NCS000314.
Enclosures (1) through (4) are the application form, application
fee, USGS map, and Geographic Information System (GIS) map showing steam
condensate expansion points and heating or cooling junction points. We
have not evaluated the present value of alternatives to storm water
discharge because we believe it self-evident that retrofitting 593
discharge points to either store and transport or divert the discharge
to a permitted collection/treatment system will be neither cost
effective when compared to managing the discharges under the general
permit, nor completed in a timely manner. We are also unable to
estimate the amount of discharge because of wide fluctuations in flow
rate and have therefore not completed the Biocide 101 form.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please
contact Mr. Ruan Stewart at 252-466-3117 or [e-mail].
