Parente Geologist/Hydrogeologist Division of Water Resources -Non Discharge Branch 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 January 8, 2024 Attention: Ms. Parente I am writing on behalf of East Carolina Council, Inc. CEO G. Dwayne Jones regarding the letter sent to us on January 5, 2023 concerning the returned 2024 permit renewal application for Camp Boddie (WQ0011655). I called Ms. Parente on December 15, 2023 to discuss an additional information request letter. On December 19, 2023, 1 submitted all the requested forms including re -submitting an ORC designation letter authorizing Benjamin Davis as ORC and Louis Delozier as back up ORC for Camp Boddie. Wayne Black has been removed as an additional backup ORC. A form was also sent to formally designate East Carolina Council CEO G. Dwayne Graham as a signature authority. Finally, the permit renewal application was re -submitted December 19, 2023 via the laserfische download email address noted on the letter from NCDENR. Apparently, this email did not hit the desk of Ms. Parente. In addition to a response email sent to your office on January 8, 2024, 1 am sending this hard copy letter via certified mail which includes a hard copy of the re -submitted 2024 permit renewal document. Regarding the two items pertaining to submitting updated site plans and engineering certifications for the Sea Base and Eco Lodge STEP system additions, I have asked our engineer John Thomas of Thomas Engineering, PA, who we hired in December 2022, to respond directly to you via certified mail regarding these two items, as we contracted with his company to certify the two wastewater systems and to supply an updated site plan, and therefore we do not have direct control over their completion. I apologize for any miscommunication on my behalf and hope to resolve all immediate and future issues pertaining to the incomplete permit renewal application. If we are unable to get a prompt answer from our engineer this week, we may need to request additional time to contract with another engineer to complete these two tasks. Sincerely, Benjamin H.
