HQW Rule applicability
• NC0066958 was first issued in November 1986, before
the existence of the HQW rule (15A NCAC 02B.0224).
The HQW rule lists effluent requirements for new and
expanding discharges. This permit's discharge is not
"new" as defined by the rule. Any expansion to the
discharge would be governed by the HQW rule.
