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,.,,-

I think this is a reasonable request. The WWTP is not operating nor discharging and
has been cleaned out..

Larry / Roger - we have received a Name & Ownership change request from Dan River,
for the Harris Plant in Rutherfordton. The new owner will be DRG Harris LLC.
DRG has also asked for a suspension of monitoring/DMR submittal. Is this a
reasonable request?
I'd appreciate any info you have.

Re: RE: Dan River Incorporated - Harris Plant — NPDES Permit No. NCO083275
Dear Sir/Madam:
Please find this letter as a follow-up to our May 16, 2006 permit transfer request for the
above stated permit, on behalf of our client, DRG Harris LLC. At this time, there are no process
operations taking place at the plant. Therefore, we respectfully request that DWQ suspend all
monitoring requirements required by the NPDES permit until such time as the plant may resume
process operations in the future.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the above stated number.
Sincerely, t� 7 4_
