Weaver, Jr. NPDES Permitting Unit NC Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,NC 27699 Subject: Southeastern Wayne Sanitary District Transmittal of Application Package NC0086941 —Modification Request Wayne County Dear Mr. Weaver: Enclosed please find the original plus two copies of the following: A. Check Number 5924 in the amount of$260.00 made payable to NC DENR. B. The originally submitted application package minus the copy of the NPDES Permit. As we discussed by phone, we were previously advised by phone that no permit fee would be required. We have lost two plus weeks. In practical terms, this permit will result in no realized additional flow to the stream. Since August of 2005, the existing facility has had no discharge. The capability to discharge is required by NC Public Water Supply. It is noted that the existing permit has no flow limit, and it is anticipated that there will be no flow limit associated with the revised permit. Since no"flow" increase is represented in the effluent page, we request that you consider using the shortest available permitting process. We have three USDA Funded water related projects that are awaiting issuance of this permit. Should you have any questions related to this request, please give me a call.

W>rTFZ1GT Mrs.Dina Sprinkle NCDENR/DWQ/Point Source Branch 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,N.C. 27699-1617 Subject: NPDES Permit Minor Modification NPDES Permit No.NC0086941 Southeastern Wayne Sanitary District Wayne County,NC Dear Mrs. Sprinkle: This letter will serve as Southeastern Wayne Sanitary District's request for minor modification of our NPDES Permit NC0086941. A speculative limits letter was issued on February 12,2010,which supports doubling the size of the existing potable water treatment plant and its associated discharge. The additional effluent page,which reflects this expansion,must be received prior to the District receiving critical funding for three water related projects. Southeastern Wayne Sanitary District will be increasing the size of the potable water treatment plant from 0.9 MGD to 1.62 MGD. The quantity of wastewater will increase from 33,000 gpd to 66,000 gpd as a result of the expansion.The proposed water treatment plant expansion involves mirroring the existing facilities on-site to include:three new iron sand filters,equal in capacity to the existing three iron sand filters;filter backwash; ammonia addition at the wells for chloramine disinfection;two waste tanks for solids settling,blending of decanted water with raw water coming into the plant; and dechlorination with calcium thiosulfate,should the facility need to discharge. Discharge from the mirrored portion of the facility will join with the existing facility, and utilize the existing discharge pipe. As a reminder,there has been no discharge from this facility since August 2005. In lieu of discharge,the water will continue to be blended with raw water coming into the plant. However,the District must maintain the ability to discharge. Please find attached the following items: 1. A copy of the February 12,2010, speculative limits letter 2. A copy of the NPDES Permit No.NC0086941, issued on June 28,2011 3. Flow Schematic,and 4. Residuals Management Plan On or about October 22,2008,this office requested to be decertified, since we were not discharging. There is an agreement with the City of Goldsboro to analyze any samples until we are recertified,in the event we need to resume discharging.
