SUMMARY
The permit is being modified to extend the interim deadline for submittal of Corrective Action
Plan (CAP) for 120 days (as per 40 CFR 122.63(c)) in section A. (3.) paragraph 2. The interim

finish preparing CAP.
Two studies including "Temperature Study" and "North Fork Catawba River Trout Waters
Assessment" have been submitted in 2023 by the consultant engineers as part of the facility efforts
to meet Temperature Compliance Schedule conditions. The extended time will allow Baxter to
fully explore the best available engineering and management control options with respect to

implementation.
All the remaining terms and conditions of the permit remain unchanged. Public notice was
not required as per 40 CFR 122.63(c).
