Representative Outfall Status Request
Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company
Granville County
The Raleigh Regional Office staff have reviewed your request dated December 4, 2018 for a
determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SD0) 001 be granted representative outfall status
for stormwater outfalls 002, 003. Based on the information, maps provided and the site visit, we
are approving SDO-001 as representative of SDO-002. SDO-003 does not contain runoff from an
industrial activity, therefore it can be excluded from analytical and qualitative sampling. In
accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7), you are authorized to sample outfall number 001 as a
representative outfall. This approval is effective with the next sampling event. We also want to
remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative Monitoring be performed at all 's
regardless of representative status.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to
document that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas,
structures, processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of
this approval, representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume
sampling at all SDO's or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated
information. if you have any questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact meat
[phone] or at thad.v nine ncd . v.
