Pursuant to your request the address of the wastewater treatment facility has been changed from Pine Harbor

"in the event that the wastewater treatment facility is in substantial non-compliance for three

shall, upon demand of the Division, conduct a study evaluating all available wastewater
disposal alternatives and the permittee shall, within sixty days of notification by the Division,
submit a report in such form and detail as required by the Division evaluating these
alternatives with respect to environmental soundness and cost effectiveness."
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt

SUBJECT: CAROLINA WATER SERVICE - BOILER PLATE LANGUAGE
DATE: 03/22/02
CC: ADJUDICATION FILE
Bruce Haas with Carolina Water Service has requested to have the boiler plate language
(part 3, D) substituted in several of their permits with the following language:
"If the facility is in substantial non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the NPDES
permit or governing rules, regulations or laws for 3 consecutive months, the permittee shall
submit a report in such form and detail as required by the Division evaluating these alternatives
and a plan of action within sixty (60) days of notification by the Division."
According to a letter from Preston Howard dated July 29, 1992, the following language should
be substituted:
"In the event that the wastewater treatment facility is in substantial non-compliance for three
consecutive months with the effluent discharge conditions of this NPDES Permit, the permittee
shall, upon demand of the Division, conduct a study evaluating all available wastewater disposal
alternatives and the permittee shall, within sixty days of notification by the Division, submit a
report in such form and detail as required by the Division evaluating these alternatives with
respect to environmental soundness and cost effectiveness."
After a discussion with Bruce Haas, this language is accepted by Carolina Water Service and will
be inserted into all of their new and renewed permits.
