RE: Renewal of the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin Association's Monitoring Coalition
NPDES Permit Modification for Instream Monitoring
NCO049867 Cleveland WWTP
Rowan County
Dear Mayor Brown:
For the past ten years, the members of the Yadkin/Pee Dee River Basin Association (YPDRBA) have broadened
understanding of the watershed through water quality monitoring. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) greatly
appreciates the association's continued support of the monitoring and the time and expertise contributed by its
members.
By this letter the DWQ confirms the waiving of instream monitoring requirements within your individual NPDES
permit in exchange for the YPDRBA's monitoring of the watershed as specified within the renewed
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) effective August 12, 2008. The agreement identifies the stations,
parameters, and frequency of monitoring required of the association in order to maintain the instream monitoring
waivers for your individual permits. Effluent monitoring requirements are not affected. Should your membership
in the association be terminated, you must notify DWQ immediately and the instream monitoring requirements in
your permit will be reinstated.
All other terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. These modifications are
issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the coalition, please contact Jennie Atkins at [phone] or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
bleen H
