Subject: installed components at Leicester Elementary School / NCO066796
Importance: High
I am preparing the draft permit renewal for NC0066796. There is a discrepancy regarding the installed treatment
components at the school.
The draft permit lists the same components as the 2010 permit renewal [see attached]. These are the only components
for which we have a record in the permit file.

The renewal application states that the WWTP is a "Secondary package WWTP with flow equalization, 2xtended
aeration, chlorine/dechlor disinfection, post aeration, flow meter, sludge holding, and standby generator" [see attached
application].
If a package WWTP was installed at the school, when was it installed? Please provide a detailed description including
component sizes.
If the existing description is correct, please confirm that by replying to this message.
Thanks for your assistance in this matter.
