A. (6.) TOTAL PHOSPHOROUS COMPLIANCE PLANS
By April 1, 2009, the Town of Pittsboro will submit a plan prepared by a professional engineer
documenting how it intends to satisfy the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) that has been established
for Roberson Creek and/or Total Phosphorous permit limits imposed upon the Town of Pittsboro
WWTP based upon the TMDL or other nutrient management strategies for the Cape.Fear River Basin.
The plan should include an analysis of projected growth for the Town and projected future wastewater
needs along with detailed discussion of how the Town plans to meet any needs for additional capacity
and remain in compliance with water quality regulations. The report should discuss any plans for
expansion of the WWTP, potential relocation(s) of the outfall and the effects these decisions may have
on both permitting issues and the actual water quality of the receiving stream. This report shall be
submitted to:

In the Town of Pittsboro's NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into Roberson Creek (Permit Number
NC0020354), Section A. (6.), it specifies that the Town must submit a plan prepared by a professional engineer
documenting how the Town intends to satisfy the Total Maximum Daily Load that has been established for
Roberson Creek by January 1, 2009. The purpose of this letter is to request a time extension to move this
deadline to April 1, 2009.
As you are well aware, the Town is currently pursuing the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant
with an expected treatment capacity of 3.22 mgd. This new facility will likely discharge in two locations: the
existing location at Roberson Creek and the Haw River at the US64 bridge crossing. The Town and its
consultants have prepared an Environmental Impact Statement for this project that is currently under review by
Hanna Stallings of the Division of Water Quality.
We believe that the proposed new treatment plant is necessary to satisfy the emerging demand for new
development in and around Pittsboro that has been expressed by the development community over the past 24
months. Pittsboro currently is negotiating with multiple developers for the financing of the new plant based on
satisfying their development needs as well as the Town's expected growth rate over the next twenty years. The
Town is requesting a three month time extension beyond the January 1, 2009 deadline in order to finalize these
negotiations and to reach a higher level of confidence in the developers' commitment to the project.
The report will be prepared by a professional engineer and will cover all of the items outlined in Section A. (6.)
of the NPDES permit. If you have any questions about the Town's request, please call me at [phone] or
call our consultant, Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates, Adam Kiker, at [phone].
Sincerely,
