Subject: NPDES Permit Modification
Permit NCO083275
Dan River Inc. — Harris Facility
Rutherford County
On November 7, 2000, the Division received your request to modify permit NC0083275. Due to your addition of
a cold pad dye process, a summer color monitoring requirement and a Color Monitoring and Reopener Special
Condition have been added, to the permit. This is in keeping with the basin plan for the Broad River Basin and will
allow for the collection of color information during this permitting cycle.
Please find enclosed the revised permit pages. The revised pages should be inserted into your permit. The
old pages may then be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged
and in full effect. This permit modification is issued under the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
t
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit modification are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit modification, please contact Natalie Sierra at [phone],
extension 551.
