Shoppes of Tynecastle WWTP

Dear Mr. Schwebke:
An error has been found in the text of the NPDES permit sent to you on November 7, 2007. Within
condition A. (2.) of the permit, it states that you should contact the Winston-Salem Regional Office to
discuss temporary means for disinfection of the effluent, should that need arise. The permit should have
directed you to contact the Asheville Regional Office.
A corrected page has been attached to this letter. Please remove the page with the incorrect information
from your permit and replace it with the corrected page.
I regret any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions concerning this permit,
please contact me at telephone number [phone], extension 547.
Sincerely,
Bob Sledge

Permit NC0062961
A. (2.) TEMPORARY MEANS OF DISINFECTION.
In the event that the wastewater treatment plant's ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system should fail,
underperform, or otherwise be removed from effective service, the permittee or his agent should
immediately inform the Surface Water Protection Section staff of the Asheville Regional Office of this
development and discuss temporary, alternate means for disinfection of the effluent.
If chlorine compounds are used as temporary means of disinfection, the total residual chlorine (TRC)
concentration of the effluent must be monitored on a daily basis while this method of disinfection is in
use and values must be reported on the discharge monitoring report. TRC in the effluent may not
exceed 28 µg/L; therefore, dechlorination methods may also be necessary to ensure protection of water
quality in the receiving stream.
Use of a disinfection system other than the permitted UV system during circumstances not deemed as
emergency and/or temporary (replacement of lamps, lamp cleaning or maintenance, etc.) will be
considered a violation of the terms of this permit.
