SUJBECT: NPDES NCO039152 Application Cover Letter DATE: March 10, 2010 Ohio Electric Motors, Inc. is officially requesting renewal of NPDES Permit # NCO039152 to continue wastewater discharge into Paint Fork Creek. We currently have 60 employees and our waste water output consist of only domestic waste from the washrooms and sinks for outfall 001. This system consist of a Septic Tank, Sand Filter, Tablet Chlorinator, Tablet De -chlorination system, backflow check valve to prevent high water conditions from flowing from the creek back into the systems and effluent discharge pipe. Outfall 002 is a discharge of clean water used for machine cooling and is monitored for pH and temperature only per permit requirements. Our system has been improved since the last permit application with the addition of a 1) de -chlorination system to neutralize any chlorine discharge into Paint Fork Creek and 2) a backflow check valve to prevent any flood waters from flowing back through the effluent pipe into the system. No other modifications have been made and monitoring indicates the system is working as designed well within the permit discharge limits. All required items for the renewal package have been completed accurately to the best of my ability.
