Permit NC0005762
Wagram Plant
Scotland County
Grade III Biological WPCS
The Division of Water Resources is forwarding herewith the Final Permit for Wagram Plant. This
permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The Final Permit contains no significant changes from your Draft Permit.
The Final Permit maintains the following significant changes contained in the Draft
Permit:
1. The flow tier for 7 MGD was eliminated since the new owner (Scotland County) did not
request speculative limits for the higher tier.
2. Limits and monitoring for Sulfides, Total Chromium, Total Phenols, Color, and COD were
removed from the permit since the facility discontinued all manufacturing operations.
3. Monitoring for Total Manganese and Total Iron was eliminated since the water treatment
plant ceased operation.
4. Limits for BOD5 and NH3-N were changed based on the modeling for a future municipal
facility.
5. Limits for TSS were changed based on the new classification of the facility.
6. The Chronic Toxicity limit was changed from 1.6% to 5.8% based on the requirements for
HQW waters (15A NCAC 2B .0224(G)) and new USGS flow data.
7. Additional Monitoring Requirements for Permit Renewal Special Condition was added to
the permit to satisfy the Division's requirements for Major Municipal Permits.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty
