InterOffice Memo
To: WLA File
From: Betsy Johnson
Date: September 14, 1994
Subject: Salisbury - Town Creek adjudication meeting
DEM - Coleen Sullins, Dave Goodrich, Jay Lucas, and Betsy Johnson and Jill Hickey from the AG's office
met with representatives of the City of Salisbury to discuss their discharge permits.
Salisbury: City Manager - David Treme, Barret Lassiter, John Vest; Pierson & Whitman - Troy Doby and
Marshall Staton; Robert Goldstein; 2 attorneys, Mayor Klutz
Salisbury has adjudicated its permit for cyanide and cadmium. The limits were calculated in 1993 using
pretreatment information and observed data. Based on Salisbury's comments on their draft permit, the
permit was issue with a schedule for compliance for cyanide and cadmium. Salisbury is asking for
monitoring only until relocation to the Yadkin River. So far a firm schedule for construction of the new
outfall has not been available.
Salisbury is to submit an application for relocation to the Yadkin River by September 30, 1994. The
application package should contain a schedule for construction and discharge to the Yadkin River. The
City assures us that plans are completed and bond money available for completeing the relocation in 2
years. The City will hold a public meeting on the 20th for the 201 plan, EA, and site selection for the new
WWTP. The application will be submitted after the meeting. Mike Aquesta will be preparing the
application.
The lawyers will request a continuance but it is hoped all Town Creek issues will be resolved in October.
The Grants Creek permit will require a similar compliance schedule to due the City's inability to comply
with limits for mercury, cyanide, and cadmium.
The remaining issues for the Yadkin River discharge are:
what will the interim limits be? what can the 2 facilities meet consistently?
what will the fmal limits be? coneventional and toxics
will nutrient limits be required and when?
weekly average limits?
Salisbury plans to join with other Yadkin River discharges in studying the river and its impacts point and
nonpoint. The group is particularly interested in nutrients. They wish us to recognize the impacts on
sludge disposal from operating a ;!ant with TN removal.
