SUBJECT: Notice of Facility Status Change
NPDES Permit NC0021733
Marshall WWTP
Madison County
Dear Permittee:
A recent internal review of the Division's facility classifications determined that the subject
municipal wastewater treatment plant is improperly classified as a Minor facility. The Marshall
WWTP should be classified as a Major facility, per the definition for Major/Minor facilities found in
the General Statute:
§ 143-215.3D. Fee schedule for water quality permits.
(a) Annual fees for discharge and nondischarge permits under G.S. 143-215.1. —
(1) Major Individual NPDES Permits. — The annual fee for an individual permit for a point source
discharge of 1,000,000 or more gallons per day, a publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
that administers a POTW pretreatment program, as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations
§ 403.3 (1 July 1996 Edition), or an industrial waste treatment works that has a high toxic
pollutant potential is three thousand four hundred forty dollars ($3,440).
Beginning in 2011, you will be billed the permit fee for a Major NPDES permit for the subject
facility. If at any time your pretreatment program becomes inactive, your facility status will revert
to Minor.
If you have questions regarding preparation of the report, contact Mr. Tom Belnick at (919) 807-
6390 or via e-mail [[e-mail]].
Sincerely,
o een H. Sullins
