Dear Mr. Irwin:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly,we are
forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
This permit includes typo errors which have been corrected from the draft permit sent to the County on October
13, 2005. The corrected typo errors consist of correcting the receiving stream to Lewis Creek on the facility map and
Effluent page changes to include, changing the Daily Maximum limit for NH3 as N to a Weekly Average Limit, adding the
#2 footnote reflecting the 85% removal rate and adding Influent sampling for BOD and TSS to formulate that 85% removal
rate. 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 of this letter.
This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes,
and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714).
Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification
or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits
which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the
Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be required. If you have any
questions concerning this permit, please contact Bob Guerra at telephone number(919) 733-5083, extension 539.
Sincerely,
