facility discharges treated industrial wastewater and storrrmwater to Catawba Riv-
er and Lake Norman in the Catawba River basin. Some of the parameters are
water quality limited. This discharge may affect future allocations in this portion
of the Catawba River basin. The location of Outfall 001 is: Latitude: 35'26'03":

the CWA sections 301 /306 and North Carolina Administrative Code Section: 15A
