Subject: Waiver of Monthly Reporting Requirement
Richmond County WTP
NPDES Permit NCO081281
Richmond County
Dear Permittee:
As stated by 15A NCAC 02B.0506 (a) (1) (E), permittees must submit monthly discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) to the Division, even when there is no discharge from the facility during the reporting period. The
Director may waive this requirement during extended periods of no discharge.
I have reviewed your statement about the transfer of effluent to Duke Power from the subject facility. Based
upon the recommendation of the staff of the DEQ Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO), I have agreed to waive
the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective December 1, 2023. The DMRs
up through November 2023 should be submitted as usual.
Please be aware that should any discharge occur, the discharge must be monitored as per the
terms of the NPDES permit. Notify the FRO at least 90 days in advance of any planned discharge, or of
any pertinent developments that arise regarding potential wastewater discharge from the site.
Please also 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, please contact Charles Weaver via
email [charles.weaver@deq.nc.gov].
Sincerely,
Richard E. Rogers, Jr., Director
Division of Water Resources
