Re: Request for Sewer System Permit Ownership Change
Webb Creek Collection System, WQCS00230
Onslow County, North Carolina
DWR Permitting Staff:
Please find enclosed a completed Sewer System Permit Name/Ownership Change Form
(PNOCF 01-16) and supporting documentation for the above-referenced collection system.
It has been confirmed with DWR staff (Andrew Girgis) that the current permit for this
collection system expired in 2021 and a renewal application not submitted for consideration.
While ONWASA does not have an issue with renewing the existing permit at this time, we would
also ask consideration for simply including this collection system within ONWASA's existing
Collection System permit (WQCS00249), a copy of the current version of that permit is included
with this request.
Based on our current schedule to obtain final approvals and secure the necessary funding,
we anticipate closing on the sale of the plant and associated collection system on November 9,
2023, and assuming operation immediately. As noted on the form, there will be no change in the
waste stream or collection system configuration with this change in ownership.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly at (910) 937-7521 or dmohr(cr�onwasa.com if
you have any questions or concerns over this request.

DOCKET NO. W-1282, SUB 20
BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION
In the Matter of
Application by Pluris, LLC, for Transfer of ) ORDER APPROVING TRANSFER
the Wastewater Treatment Plant and ) TO OWNER EXEMPT FROM
Wastewater Utility Systems Serving Various ) REGULATION, CANCELING
Subdivisions in Onslow County, North ) FRANCHISES, AND REQUIRING
Carolina, to the Onslow Water and Sewer ) CUSTOMER NOTICE
Authority, Owner Exempt from Regulation )
BY THE COMMISSION: On June 26, 2023, Pluris, LLC (Pluris or Applicant), filed
an application with the North Carolina Utilities Commission (Commission) for authority to
transfer its wastewater treatment plant and wastewater system assets providing
wastewater utility service in its service areas in Onslow County to the Onslow Water and
Sewer Authority (ONWASA). ONWASA is exempt from Commission regulation pursuant
to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 62-3(23)(d). Pluris currently provides wastewater utility service to
approximately 7,000 customers in its service areas. ONWASA provides water utility
service to this service area. Pursuant to the terms of the transfer, Applicant will transfer
all of Applicant's customers to ONWASA.
On July 24, 2023, the Commission issued its Order Requiring Customer Notice,
specifying that the matter be determined without public hearing if no significant protests
are received subsequent to customer notice.
On August 7 2023, the Applicant filed the Certificate of Service, properly signed
gpp p p Y 9
and notarized, which stated that the Notice to Customers had been mailed with sufficient
postage or hand delivered to all affected customers. Two customer protests have been
received by the Public Staff — North Carolina Utilities Commission (Public Staff). One
customer opposed the rate increase, and one customer requested additional information
concerning the nature of a municipality serving as the utility provider.
Pluris Holdings, LLC, is the corporate parent of the Applicant as well as Pluris
Hampstead, LLC, which operates a wastewater utility system in Pender County, North
Carolina and other wastewater utility systems operating outside of North Carolina.
The Applicant, Pluris Webb Creek, LLC, Pluris Hampstead LLC, and other related
utility systems share certain corporate costs. The allocation of corporate costs will
continue after the transfer to ONWASA by Applicant.
The Applicant and the Public Staff filed a letter on August 21, 2023, providing the
terms of an agreement they have reached regarding allocation of shared costs in an effort
to avoid significant adverse impacts on rates charged to customers of Pluris Hampstead,
LLC, in the future as a result of the transfer to ONWASA.
This matter was presented at the Commission's Regular Staff Conference on
August 28, 2023. The Public Staff stated that it had reviewed the application and
recommends that the Commission approve the transfer of the wastewater utilitysystem
pp Y
from Pluris to ONWASAwithoutpublic hearingsince significant protests were not received
g
after customer notice.
Based upon the verified application, the recommendation of the Public Staff, and
the records of the Commission, the Commission makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On August 9, 2023, the Applicant filed a fully executed System Purchase
Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Assets (Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of
the Agreement, ONWASA agreed to purchase the "System Assets" of the Applicant and
Pluris Webb Creek, LLC described in the Agreement for $37.5 million and $11 million,
respectively, a total of $48.5 million. Pluris' present net investment in the assets being
transferred is approximately $2.296 million.
2. The present rates for Pluris were approved in Docket Nos. W-1282, Sub 11,
and M-100, Sub 138, by the Commission's Order Approving Tariff Revision and Requiring
Customer Notice and have been in effect since January 1 , 2017. Pluris' and ONWASA's
present monthly wastewater rates are as follows:
Pluris Monthly Wastewater Rates:
Residential Flat Rate $58.08
Non-residential Metered Rates:
Base Charge, zero usage $28.27
Usage Charge, per 1 ,000 gallons $ 9.02
ONWASA Monthly Residential & Non-residential Wastewater Rates:
Base Charge, zero usage
e 9
<1" meter $28.08
1" meter $70.39
11/2" meter $140.42
2" meter $224.68
3" meter $448.30
4" meter $699.28
Usage, per 1,000 gallons $7.97
2
3. Under ONWASA's current rates, the average monthly residential
wastewater bill for Pluris' customers would increase from $58.08 (flat rate) to $59.96,
(metered), based on estimated usage of 4,000 gallons per month. Existing Pluris
customers would not be required to pay a connection fee to ONWASA.
4. Under ONWASA's current rates, the average monthly metered non-
residential wastewater bill for Pluris' customers would decrease from $64.35 to $59.96,
based on estimated usage of 4,000 gallons per month for <1" meter size customer.
5. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, any Pluris' customer deposits will
be transferred to ONWASA.
6. The Pluris wastewater plant is an advanced state of the art membrane
bio-reactor treatment plant between four and ten years old. Since it has been in service,
the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has issued one Notice of
Violation to Pluris for a limit exceedance violation that occurred on May 31, 2021.
NOV-2021-LV-0596 was issued on August 11, 2021 , when flow through the North Topsail
wastewater treatment plant exceeded the specified monthly average amount. No other
violations have been identified. ONWASA will continue operating the present system.
There are no major plant replacements planned for the immediate future.
7. The proposed transfer is in the public interest and should be approved
under N.C.G.S. §62-111.
8. In consideration of the circumstances presented, an exception to the
Commission's policy of assigning 100% of the gain on sale to water and wastewater utility
company shareholders is not warranted in this proceeding. Accordingly, the gain on sale
of the System shall be assigned 100% to Applicant's shareholders.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the foregoing and the recommendations of the Public Staff, the
Commission concludes that the transfer of ownership of the wastewater system from
Pluris to ONWASA should be approved, that the franchises should be canceled upon
receipt of notification that the transfer is complete, and customer notice should be
required.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED as follows:
1 . That Pluris, LLC is hereby authorized to transfer its wastewater treatment
plant and wastewater system assets serving its service area in Onslow County, North
Carolina to Onslow Water and Sewer Authority, which is exempt from Commission
regulation;
3
2. That Pluris, LLC shall provide written notification to the Commission within
ten days after Onslow Water and Sewer Authority assumes responsibility for providing
wastewater utility service in the affected service area;
3. That the Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity to provide
wastewater service granted to Pluris, LLC in Docket No. W-1282, Subs 0, 1 , 3, 5, and 12
for its service areas in Onslow County, North Carolina is hereby canceled upon receipt of
written notification to the Commission that Onslow Water and Sewer Authority has
assumed responsibility for providing wastewater utility service in the affected service
area;
4. That the Commission approves the agreement entered into between the
Applicant and Public Staff on August 21, 2023, to protect Pluris Hampstead, LLC
customers from being significantly impacted by the transfer;
5. That 100% of the gain on sale of the wastewater treatment plant and
wastewater system assets owned by Pluris, LLC, that serve its service area in Onslow
County shall be assigned to Pluris, LLC's shareholders; and
6. That a copy of this Order shall be mailed with sufficient postage or hand
delivered by Pluris, LLC, to all its customers in the service area not later than 15 days
after the date of this Order and that Pluris, LLC, shall submit to the Commission the
attached Certificate of Service properly signed and notarized not later than 30 days after
the date of this Order.

Dear J Kinlaw:
In accordance with your application received 12/12/2012, and the additional information
received on March 13 and 27 and April 11 and 25,2013,we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00230, dated May 1, 2013, to the Webb Creek Water and Sewage Inc for the operation
and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
•
This permit shall be effective from;tune 42013 until'.Mdy 31 2021 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this
permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this
permit and any compliance schedules shown in bold.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly
installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection
with a separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines,
pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc.
,and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport
P
wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and
operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems
tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or
maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant
to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the
collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.

A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary
Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined
considering the criteria listed in condition I(2)(a) and I(2)(b) of the permit and all other relevant
information available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the
permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the collection system must be
maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount
that reaches surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure
to use for reporting SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff member (not email,
facsimile, or voicemail) at your regional DWQ office during regular business hours
(Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call
(800) 858-0368.
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current
Division approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, please utilize form CS-SSO consisting of two parts.
Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always been necessary.
Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I(2)of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/cs/ssoreport.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be
issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to
submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if
enforcement action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill
is very comprehensive. Begin using this form immediately to report SSOs from the collection
system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant
until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five
days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the
receipt of thispermit. This request must be in P the form of a writ
ten tten petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made,
this permit shall be final and binding.

RALEIGH
SYSTEM-WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of
North Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO THE
Webb Creek Water and Sewage Inc
Onslow County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 11.9 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 2.6 miles of force main,
approximately 0.25 miles of pressure sewer, 3 simplex pump stations that discharge to a
pressure sewer and serve multiple buildings, and 8 duplex pump stations, and all associated
piping, valves, and appurtenances required to make a complete and operational wastewater
collection system to serve the Webb Creek Water and Sewage Inc and any deemed permitted
satellite communities, pursuant to the application received 12/12/2012, and in conformity with
the documents referenced therein and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved
by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2021, and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Webb Creek
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0062642) prior to being disposed into the receiving
stream. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or modification of
li
your NPDES permit(s).
2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and
operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any
contamination of groundwater. In the event that the wastewater collection system fails to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall
take immediate corrective actions, including actions that may be required by the Division
of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement sewer
lines and/or equipment.
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be
reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were
caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee
demonstrates through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
a. The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible
alternatives to the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate
back-up equipment, or an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision
is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment, the
Permittee should have installed auxiliary or additional collection system
components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities, adequate back-up
equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b. The SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors
beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been
prevented by the exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management,
operation and maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system
facilities or components (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection
facilities to accommodate growth or adequately controlling and preventing
infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance; or installation of adequate back-
up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the
criteria of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with
the spill report required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be
considered for immunity from enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current
Division approved form, shall be used for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of
proof that the above criteria have been met.
3. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be
properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and
service laterals; to address flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action
as required by Condition 1(4).
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educationa►fats, oils and grease program
that shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both
residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and implement
an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the
Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the
terms of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
5. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP
should address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP
should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement,
description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies
(over a reasonable period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the
CIP.
6. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are
allowable for portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the
wastewater treatment facility.
7. The Permittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station.
If one of the pumps in a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of
repairing or replacing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump
shall be installed as soon as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it
shall be replaced immediately.
8. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station
identifier and an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can
initiate or perform emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per
day, seven days per week can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number
shall be coupled with instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the
visual alarm illuminates, if the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
9. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A
NCAC 02T .305(h)(4).
10. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with
pump stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication
system) shall have both audible and visual high water alarms. The alarms shall be
weather-proof and placed in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the
construction of pump stations that included high water alarms in the description must
maintain the alarms even if simple telemetry (i.e. notification of an alarm condition
initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
11. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion-resistant and
components in close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion-
resistant coating or encasement.
12.All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the
existing utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of
Condition (1)(2) of this permit.
11. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. Upon classification of the collection system by the Water Pollution Control System
Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and
employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified
operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G
.0201. The ORC shall visit the system within 24 hours of knowledge of a bypass, spill,
or overflow of wastewater from the system, unless visited by the Back-Up ORC, and
shall comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G .0204.
2. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for reviewing all inspection,
maintenance, operational and complaint logs. If the review process results in the
identification of any recurring problem in the wastewater collection system that cannot be
resolved in a short time period, the Permittee shall establish a plan for addressing the
problem(s).
3. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for testing emergency and
standby equipment.
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement a routine pump station inspection and
maintenance program, which shall include, but not be limited to, the following
maintenance activities:
a. Cleaning and removing debris from the pump station structure, outside perimeter,
and wet well;
b. Inspecting and exercising all valves;
c. Inspecting and lubricating pumps and other mechanical equipment according to
the manufacturer's recommendations; and
d. Verifying the proper operation of the alarms, telemetry system and auxiliary
equipment.
5. For each pump station without pump reliability (i.e. simplex pump stations serving more
than a single building or pump stations not capable of pumping at a rate of 2.5 times the
average daily flow rate with the largest pump out of service), at least one fully
operational spare pump capable of pumping peak flow shall be maintained on hand.
6. The Permittee shall maintain on hand at least two percent of the number of pumps
installed, but no less than two pumps, that discharge to a pressure sewer and serve a
single building, unless the Permittee has the ability to purchase and install a
replacement pump within 24 hours of first knowledge of the simplex pump failure or
within the storage capacity provided in any sewer line extension permit.
7. Rights-of-way and/or easements shall be properly maintained to allow accessibility to the
wastewater collection system unless the Permittee can demonstrate the ability to gain
temporary access in an emergency situation where existing land-use conditions do not
allow the establishment and maintenance of permanent access. In this case, the
Permittee shall continue to observe the lines visually, utilize remote inspection methods
. (e.g. CCTV) and use the opportunity of drier conditions to perform further inspections
and necessary maintenance.
8. The Permittee shall assess cleaning needs, and develop and implement a program for
appropriately cleaning, whether by hydraulic or mechanical methods, all sewer lines. At
least 10 percent of the wastewater collection system, selected at the discretion of the
ORC, shall be cleaned each year. Preventative cleaning is not required for sewer lines
less than five years old unless inspection otherwise reveals the need for cleaning or
cleaning is required by a sewer line extension permit.
9. Adequate measures shall be taken to contain and properly dispose of materials
associated with SSOs, The Permittee shall maintain a Response Action Plan that
addresses the following minimum items:
a. Contact phone numbers for 24-hour response, including weekends and holidays;

Dear Mr. Mohr:
In accordance with your application received February 2, 2017, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00249, dated March 15, 2017, to the Onslow Water and Sewer Authority for the operation and
maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from March 15, 2017 until December 31, 2025 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please
pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special
conditions.
Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the changes are for clarification
purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was included based on proposed
rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ
lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion
when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the changes made is available at:

%20WQCS%20Template%2015.05.18%20(highlighted).pdf
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure
sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that
help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's
ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite
systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned
or maintained by the Permittee.The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide
a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of
permit issuance or afterward.

A discharge of wastewater to the environment from the Permittee's wastewater collection system prior to
reaching the wastewater treatment facilities is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). The
evaluation of enforcement options after an 550 will be determined considering all relevant information
available or requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes
and regulations pertaining to the wastewater collection system must be maintained or appropriate
enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water(including through ditches,storm drains, etc.). Reporting requirements including the required
verbal report and written report to the appropriate regional office are referenced in Condition IV(2). Form
CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at:

public/Water%20Quality/Surface%20Water%20Protection/PERCS/WCS%20(SSO%20Documents)/CS-
SSO(2015).doc
A notice of deficiency(NOD), notice of violation (NOV), civil penalty,and/or a moratorium on the addition of
waste to the system may be issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office.
In order to submit a claim for justification of an 550, you must use Part II of form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary. DWR staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement
action is appropriate. Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this permit.
This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC
27699-6714. Unless such demands are made,this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance, contact the appropriate regional office. If you need additional
information concerning this permit, please contact Steve Lewis at(919)807-6308.
