MEMORANDUM
TO: Jay Lucas
THROUGH: Steve Mauney
FROM: Ron Linville A/
SUBJECT: Permit Renewal Request
Pentacostal Holiness Church/NC0046809
Guilford County
Please be advised that the WSRO is unaware of any changes
associated with this proposed discharge since the previous staff
report (see attached).
The classification of the tributary to Benaga Creek is
incorrect on the previous staff report however. The correct
classification is "C-NSW". Additionally, the WSRO does not see a
need to have two sets of limits pages based on anticipated flow
volumes. The flow should be limited throughout the year at 0.020
MGD unless there is some advantage provided to the permittee in
sampling or limits.
The Region recommends reissuance of the NPDES Permit.

Wastewater Code(s) 13 This is a meeting and
conference center and facilities include a camping area
and group homes on the site and a large meeting hall

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction
Grants Funds (municipals only)? N/A
2. Special monitoring requests: Phosphorous monitoring
3. Additional effluent limits requests: None
4. Other: This facility has wide swings in use and for
years the off season flows have been reported at less
than 500 GPD. Based upon a recent study of levels of
usage, the facility's flows appear to be changing so
that the off-season flows will be higher (.004 MGD from
September 1 through May 31) and the high -use season
flows will drop (.020 MGD from June 1 through August
31). The receiving stream, though fairly small, has
always had a flow when on -site inspections have been
made since 1985.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The WSRO recommends that the Permit be re -issued in
accordance with current DEM policy and include the seasonal
flows requested.
