Box 545 Ramseur, NC 27316 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NPDES Permit Modification Permit NC0074454 Ramseur WTP Randolph County Dear Mr. McIntosh: The Division is beginning the cycle of permit renewals for the Cape Fear river basin. An examination of the Cape Fear basin plan and the NPDES permit schedule has revealed that the existing expiration dates in Cape Fear NPDES permits do not coincide with the revised permit expiration dates for the basin. This discrepancy could create unnecessary delays in the processing of over 200 permit renewals. Accordingly, the Division is changing the permit expiration dates for NPDES permits in the Cape Fear river basin. This permit modification changes the expiration date of the subject permit in subbasin 30609 to September 30, 2001. Please find enclosed the revised permit cover page. Insert the new cover page into your permit and discard the old page. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. In accordance with the modification of the permit expiration date, the new due date for your renewal application is April 3, 2001. Renewal application forms will be sent to you approximately 6-8 weeks in advance of the new due date or you may download the forms from the NPDES web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/NPDES/documents.html. You will need to download Short Form C. If you have already submitted a permit renewal form, there is no need to submit any other forms to the Division; the application will be processed during the renewal period for your subbasin. If any part of this permit modification are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
