Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director May 30, 2006 Mr. John H. Gieser DRG Harris LLC 9855 Warren H. Abernathy Highway Spartanburg, S.C. 29301 Subject: Waiver of Monthly Reporting Requirement Harris Plant NPDES Permit NCO083275 Rutherford County Dear Mr. Gieser: The Division has reviewed correspondence submitted by your Authorized Representative [Luisa M. Palomar -Walsh of Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein], which states the subject facility is not being operated and therefore is not producing any wastewater discharge. You indicated the facility will remain inoperative while future options for the facility are evaluated. After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendations of the staff in the Asheville Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective June 1, 2006. The DMRs up through (and including) May 2006 should be submitted as usual. Be advised that if and when any wastewater discharge resumes, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES permit and other applicable rules or statutes. Please keep the Asheville Regional Office apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding this facility, especially if the facility is re- activated. Be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being waived during the period of no discharge, the permittee is still required to pay the Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES permits. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, contact Charles H. Weaver, Jr. at 919 733-5083, extension 511. Sincerely, A,.,,- ,rq "'� Xo"- Alan W.
