additional information received April 21, 2022, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0003698 dated
July 18, 2022, to the City of Marion for the continued operation of the subject residuals management
program. Please note that this renewed permit shall become effective on August 1, 2022 (i.e., the day after
the expiration date of the existing permit).
This permit shall be effective from August 1, 2022 through January 31, 2029, shall replace Permit

therein. The Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than August 4, 2028.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachment C for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
Please note that on September 1, 2018, North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A Subchapter
02T Waste not Discharged to Surface Waters was readopted. Accordingly, this permit incorporates the
requirements of these rules, therefore, please take the time to review this permit thoroughly.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
June 8, 2017:
Old Condition IV.2. This condition has been removed because there are no residuals being
disposed.
Old Condition VI.2. This condition has been removed because the permit is not voidable.
