Permit Summary
NC0066397
Facility has requested permit renewal. Casar Elementary School discharges to a zero
flow stream, UT Crooked Run Creek. Permit condition existed that they must meet
existing tertiary limits or cease discharge by December 1997. Facility has not had a good
compliance record. Casar Elementary was noted for violations of NH3, BOD5 and Fecal
Coliform. CCS was fined by DWQ according to Mr. Larry McIntyre of the schools and
Bob Sledge. CCS has considered relocation of outfall, DWQ provided them with spec
limits for Casar Elementary in Dec. 1992. If the school relocates to a segment of
Crooked Run Creek with a positive flow then limits of BOD5 = 30 mg/l, NH3 = 24 mg/l
can be applied at the new discharge point.
SOC application for all Cleveland County schools is currently in house. MRO staff met
with Cleveland Co. Schools about a week ago negotiating for limits, working out
schedules and monitoring requirements for the SOCs. MRO hopes to have the SOC
request finalized very soon, per Rex Gleason telecon on July 27, 1998.
Facility discharges into a zero flow stream and will renew at existing tertiary limits 5/2/6
and 10/4/6 at the current site. Will also include limits for the relocation site directly into
Crooked Run Creek. SOC limits will probably be applied soon.
Recommendation: Renewal of existing limits.
