Thanks, Bob.
If I could, I wanted to ask you another question. Later today I hope to
be able to forward to you an application from the Town for their new /
revised permit at 0.250 MGD. As we are currently in construction
permitting with this project (of which I hope to have all of CG&L's
questions answered shortly), it appears that the NPDES permit will be
the controlling factor on when we are issue a construction permit / when
we can bid the project. Since this appears to be the case, can you give
me a little information regarding the timeframes involved with obtaining
a revised / amended NPDES permit for additional flow? Any help you
could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice
weekend!

Bob,
I wanted to get in touch with you regarding the aforementioned permit.
The website has you down as the contact for Rosman. I tried to reach
you about a week ago but was only able to leave a message. At this
time, I wanted to check on the status of their permit. I know that we
filed an application sometime back for a new permit at their proposed
expanded capacity and wanted to check on it's status. Do we need to
refile? Also, I noted that their current permit expires at the end of
September I believe. We are currently answering comments on CG&L's
review of the proposed plans. Any suggestions / direction you could
give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SUMMARY
The Town of Rosman operates a 0.09 MGD wastewater treatment facility that discharges
directly into the French Broad River. The Rosman WWTP is 100% domestic flow with no
Industrial Dischargers. Per Consultant, the City has received funding for the construction of
plant improvements with the ATC to be issued in the near future. These plans call for tertiary
treatment, UV disinfection and auxiliary spray irrigation. This permit is being renewed with no
changes from the existing permit. The Facility must submit a permit modification and an EAA
before any expansion of flow can be approved.
The French Broad Basinwide Water Quality plan has a particular concern of residential and
urban development occurring in Brevard and Rosman. There are no fish consumption
advisories in this Subbasin. In the water supply category, all waters are Supporting on an
evaluated basis based on reports from DEH regional water treatment plant consultants.
TOXICITY TESTING:
Current Requirement: None
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY: BASED ON THE PREVIOUS 2 YEARS
The facility was issued enforcement action LV-2004-0250 on 6-21-04 for fecal coliform
violations and paid the civil penalty on 9-21-04 after requesting and being denied remittance.
Likely, the most pressing issue for this facility is that is approaching design capacity. A DMR
review indicated the facility has a monthly average discharge of .077MGD, which is 86% of
design capacity and a daily max average of .85MGD, which is 95% of design capacity. The
facility violated its monthly average daily flow limit on 9-04 with a reported daily flow of .093
MGD. The facility reported Daily max flows of .176 MGD and .094 MGD on 9-04 and 11-04.
