CGK LLC (110 Bacage Drive, Houma, LA 70360) has requested renewal of NPDES permit NC0088170 for the Whis- pering Springs WWTP in Ashe County. This proposed facility will discharge to an unnamed tributary to West Fork Pine Swamp Creek in the New River Basin. Currently BOD, total sus- pended solids, ammonia nitro- gen, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and total residual chlo- rine are water quality limited. This discharge may affect future allocations in this portion of the New River Basin. James R. Van- noy & Sons Construction Com- pany, Inc. (1608 US Highway 221, Jefferson, NC 28640) has requested renewal of NPDES permit NC0030848 for the Jef- ferson Apparel Company WWTP in Ashe County. This permitted facility discharges to Dog Creek in the New River Basin. Ammonia Nitrogen, fecal coliform, and total residual chlo- rine are water quality limited. This may affect future wasteload allocations to this portion of the New River Basin.

Samples for facilities with design flows of 30,000 gallons per day or less shall be grab samples unless the Director determines that, due to such factors as the variability of the discharge or its potential for impacts on the receiving stream, composite samples are necessary to characterize the discharge." Neither system is currently discharging. NC0030848 was an industrial facility, which is why it has Instantaneous flow monitoring. NC0088170 will be a new facility when built, and new facilities are expected to have Continuous flow monitoring (per 15A NCAC 02B.0508 (b) (1)). Thanks for noting the typos in NC0088170.

The Director may waive this requirement during extended periods of no discharge. I have reviewed the request [submitted by your IT manager, Marlton J. Yearick] dated December 5, 2018, which states that the subject facility is not operating currently. After reviewing your request and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Winston-Salem Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective December 1, 2018. The DMRs up through November 2018 should be submitted as usual. Please be aware that should any discharge occur, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES permit. Notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office of any pertinent developments that arise regarding wastewater treatment at this facility, especially if manufacturing activities resume and the system is reactivated. Please also be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being waived during the period of no discharge, the permittee is still required to pay the Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES permits. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Charles H.
