Dear Mrs. Raup-Plummer,
In response to your permit renewal request received on October 16, 2023, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0029821 dated January 12, 2024, to Aqua North Carolina, Inc. for the continued
operation of the subject wastewater treatment and high -rate infiltration facilities, as well as the construction
and operation of a 4-inch force main.
This permit is effective from the date of issuance through September 30, 2030, shall replace Permit
No. WQ0029821 issued on June 5, 2017, and is subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than April 3, 2030.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A and B for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information may result in future non-compliance.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
June 5, 2017:
➢ Old Conditions L4. and IL5. — The Division has removed these conditions because the
Environmental Management Commission repealed the 15A NCAC 02H .0400 rules.
➢ Old Condition IL9. — The Division has removed this condition because the Permittee owns all
land within the compliance boundary.
➢ Old Condition IIL 14. — The Division has removed this condition because it is in new Condition
III.13.
➢ Old Condition VL2. — The Division has removed this condition because permits are not
voidable.
➢ Old Condition VL5. — The Division has replaced this condition with Condition L5.
➢ Old Condition VL 10. — The Division has removed this condition because it is in Condition
VL7.
