Dear Mr. Copeland:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. 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 May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently
amended).
The Division is currently in the process of implementing a Water Quality Standard for Total Residual
Chlorine (TRC) and expects to introduce permit limits statewide in April 2003. Although TRC is not
currently limited in this permit, the Division recommends that you prepare a budget and schedule
construction of facility upgrades to restrict the discharge of TRC (or explore alternative methods of
disinfection). Future renewals of this permit will include a TRC limit of between 17 µg/L and 28 µg/L.
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 (30) days following
receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and
binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require
modification or revocation and refssuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits required by the
Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental
permit that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Christie Jackson at telephone number
[phone], extension 538.
Sincerely.

Dear Sfs. Davis:
The subject permit expires on July 31, 2002. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires that
an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement,
your renewal package should have been sent to the Division postmarked no later than February 1, 2002.
As of this date, the Division has not received a renewal request for the subject permit. This is a violation of Part II,
Section B. 10. of your permit, which states "Any pemittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to
expiration... will subject the permittee to enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6 and 33 USC 1251 et. seq.".
In order to prevent an assessment of civil penalties you must submit a completed permit application (see enclosed forms)
within 10 days of your receipt of this letter. Submit the completed application package to the address fisted at the bottom of this
page.
If all wastewater discharge from your facility has ceased and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Wilmington Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact Charles H. Weaver, Jr. of my staff bit. Weaver's
telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.
