Dear Mr. Terry:

Subject: Issuance of Permit Modification and Renewal
NPDES Permit No. NCO020354
Town of Pittsboro WWTP
Chatham County
Facility Class III
Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for a
major modification and renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached
NPDES discharge permit. It 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.
A public hearing was held on March 29, 2011 to obtain public comments on the draft permit, which
proposed renewing the Outfall 001 discharge of 0.75 to Robeson Creek, and adding a new
discharge of 2.47 MGD to the Haw River via Outfall 002. Approximately 50 people attended, and 21
attendees provided oral comments. The public hearing officer reviewed these comments and the
written comments, and recommended the following changes to the draft permit, which were
incorporated into this final permit:
The facility proposes to treat to reuse standards. Given this proposed treatment, and the
concerns expressed by recreational users of the Haw River near the Highway 64 canoe access,
the Outfall 002 limits for fecal coliform were changed to the reuse water quality standards of 14
per 100 mL as a monthly average and 25 per 100 mL as a weekly average.
Upstream and downstream monitoring of fecal coliform must be performed at Outfall 002 (Haw
River), regardless of whether or not the Town maintains membership in the Upper Cape Fear
River Basin monitoring coalition. It was also recommended that these sampling data results be
posted on the Town's website as soon as possible. This would provide easy public access to
the data for those who are considering recreational use of the river.

The only other change to your permit from the draft permit sent to you September 29, 2010 is that
footnote number 9 from Table A. (2) was changed to reflect the correct chronic toxicity test dilution
(5.1%) for the Haw River outfall.
Please note that Robeson Creek is listed as an impaired waterbody on the 2010 North Carolina
303(d) Impaired Waters List. Outfall 001 contains TP limits to address the Roberson Creek TMDL.
Likewise, TN and TP limits are included in combined outfall C01 to address the Jordan Lake TMDL.
Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be
evaluated. If there is noncompliance with the permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be
attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming to
Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless
such demand is made, this permit remains final and binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may
modify and re -issue, or revoke this permit. Please note that this permit does not affect your legal
obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land
Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or other federal or local governments.
If you have questions, or if we can be of further assistance, please contact Mr. Gil Vinzani at
[[e-mail]] or call [phone].

compliance association.
A.(6.) CALCULATION AND REPORTING OF NUTRIENT LOADS
The Permittee shall calculate and report monthly and annual nutrient loads as follows:
(a.) Calculation of Discharge Loads (Outfalls 001 and 002): The Permittee shall calculate monthly and
annual discharge loads for each outfall as follows:
(i.) Monthly Discharge Load (lb/mo, TN or TP) = TN (or TP) x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN (or TP) = the average Total Nitrogen (or Total Phosphorus) concentration
(mg/L) of the composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the
month (MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/ L x MG) to pounds
(ii.) Annual Discharge Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN (or TP) Loads for
the calendar year
(b.) Calculation of Delivered Loads (Outfall C01): The Permittee shall calculate annual delivered
loads as follows:
(i.) Individual Outfalls 001 & 002:
Annual Delivered Load (lb/yr, TN or TP) = Annual Discharge Load (lb/yr) x TF
where TF = Transport Factor for each outfall, as specified in Condition A.(4.),
Nutrient Allocations and Limits.
I
(ii.) Combined Outfall C01:
Annual Delivered Load Qb/yr, TN or TP) = Sum of the Outfall 001 & 002 Annual Delivered
TN (or TP) Loads for the calendar year
(c.) Reporting of Nutrient Discharges: The Permittee shall report monthly TN and TP discharge
loads for Outfalls 001 and 002 in the appropriate discharge monitoring report.
(d.) Reporting of Combined Delivered Loads: The Permfttee shall report each calendar year's
combined delivered loads for Outfall C01 with the December report for that year and shall
append the report with a summary of monthly loads and calculations.

A.(7.) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMITS (QUARTERLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90% at Outfall 001 (Robeson Creek) and
5.1% at Outfall 002 (Haw River).
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure'
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the
two following months, as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP313 for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
NCDENR/ DWQ/ Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be
complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of "No Flow' in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted

Dear Mr. Smith,
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
PAMELA BALDWIN

MICHAELA. FIOCCO
BETT WILSON FOLEY
BETH TURNER
TELEPHONE
[phone]
FAX [phone]
In your letter dated March 25, 2014 regarding the Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Town of Pittsboro
Wastewater Treatment Plant (NPDES Permit No. NC0020354), you requested a response to "Items 1-3." Those items
are listed below in italics with the responses listed in regular font.
1) This office received a 5-day report detailing a filter by-pass at the Pittsboro Water Treatment Plant on
1212912014 (Incident # 201302402). The 5-day report indicated composite sampling for BOD, TSS, NH3 &
Metals occurred In addition, the report specified that a grab sample for fecal coliform was performed.
Please explain why none of this data was recorded on the DAMfor December 2013.
Pertaining to sampling and testing performed during a filter by-pass event, (incident #201302402), and not shown on the December
2013 DMlt Our normal sampling days for target parameters and metals are Mon. -Wed. to comply with permit required frequencies.
We start our effluent composite sampler on Sunday morning at approximately 7:00am to begin the first 24 hour composite sample
collection. This was done on December 291h, 2013 as usual, the day the by-pass event began. The completed composite sample was
removed on Monday morning, December 30'", 2013 as usual, and specific sample parameters are taken for analysis. We report these
on the DMR on the collection date, which is the 30th. Technically the majority of this 24 hr. composite sample is from December
29'", and a smaller portion from the 30'". These have always reported these on the collection date the entire composite sample is
finished. If this is not correct, please let us know and we will change our procedure.
2) Please explain to this office how Pittsboro Wastewater Treatment Plant will comply with Federal Regulations
Part 503 (40 CFR 503). Specifically, please address how the facility will ensure all sludge passes pathogen
and vector testing before hauling activities commence.
Item #2 pertains to our biosolids processing, specifically during the lime stabilization. We now understand that wasting to stabilized
digester is not permitted in the 503 regulations. We have re -scheduled our wasting process to eliminate this practice on the future.

This laboratory was inspected by a representative of the North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater
Laboratory Certification (NC WW/GW LC) program to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A
NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory was clean and records were well organized; however, some quality control procedures
need to be implemented. Proficiency Testing (PT) samples have been analyzed for all certified
parameters for the 2012 proficiency testing calendar year.
Current quality assurance policies for Field laboratories and approved procedures for the analysis of
the facility's currently certified parameters were provided at the time of the inspection.
The requirements associated with Findings A, B, C and D are new policies that have been implemented
by our program since the last inspection.
Contracted analyses are performed by Pace Analytical, Inc. (Certification #67)
III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
General
Recommendation: In order to improve the quality of the data being reported, it is recommended that
the laboratory expand their data verification system to include a technical peer review process to check
for accuracy and completeness of data on laboratory benchsheets and Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) forms. Steps must be taken to minimize and correct errors in calculations and may include
checks for the following: transcription errors, errors of omission, calculation errors, correct application
of dilution factors, etc. The transcription errors noted in the Paper Trail Investigation section of this
report, underscore the importance of this type of technical peer review process.

#5322 John Poteat
Traceability
A. Finding: The laboratory needs to increase the documentation of purchased materials and
reagents.
Requirement: All chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used by the laboratory
must have the following information documented: Date Received, Date Opened (in use),
Vendor. Lot Number, and Expiration Date. A system (e.g., traceable identifiers) must be in
place that links standard/reagent preparation information to analytical batches in which the
solutions are used. Documentation of solution preparation must include the analyst's initials,
date of preparation, the volume or weight of standard(s) used, the solvent and final volume of
the solution. This information as well as the vendor and/or manufacturer, lot number, and
expiration date must be retained for chemicals, reagents, standards and consumables used for
a period of five years. Consumable materials such as pH buffers and lots of pre -made
standards are included in this requirement. Ref: Quality Assurance Policies for Field
Laboratories.
Proficiency Testing
B. Finding: The laboratory is not analyzing Proficiency Testing (PT) samples in the same manner as
environmental samples.
Requirement: All PT samples are to be analyzed and the results reported in a manner consistent
with the routine analysis and reporting requirements of compliance samples and any other
samples analyzed according to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800. Ref: Proficiency Testing
Requirements, February 20, 2012, Revision 1.2.
Comment: The laboratory's common practice was to analyze a known standard along with the PT
sample as additional quality control.
C. Finding: The preparation of Proficiency Testing (PT) samples is not documented.
Requirement: PT samples received as ampules must be diluted according to the PT provider's
instructions. The preparation of PT samples must be documented in a traceable loq or other
traceable format. The diluted PT sample becomes a routine environmental sample and is added
to a routine sample batch for analysis. Ref: Proficiency Testing Requirements, February 20,
2012, Revision 1.2.
D. Finding: The laboratory is not documenting Proficiency Testing (PT) sample analyses in the
same manner as environmental samples (e.g., on a laboratory benchsheet or field notebook).
Requirement: All PT sample analyses must be recorded in the daily analysis records as for any
environmental sample. This serves as the permanent laboratory record. Ref: Proficiency Testing
Requirements, February 20, 2012, Revision 1.2.
Comment: There was no supporting documentation of the PT analyses. Only a copy of the
electronic data submittal to the PT vendor was retained, as required.
Temperature — Standard Methods, 18`h Edition, 2550 B
E. Finding: The alcohol in the National Institute of Standards and Technnology (NIST) traceable
thermometer, used for verifying temperature sensors on the DO instruments used to obtain
reported temperature values, was separated and was not measuring accurately.

Page 3
#5322 John Poteat
Requirement: Each facility must have glassware, chemicals, supplies, equipment, and a source
of distilled or deionized water that will meet the minimum criteria of the approved methodologies.
Ref: 15A NCAC 02H .0805 (g) (4). Please perform temperature sensor verification checks
with an appropriate NIST traceable thermometer for each instrument and submit copies of
the documentation with the response to this report.
Finding: There was no documentation confirming when the NIST traceable thermometer was
calibrated, therefore, NIST traceability cannot be confirmed.
Requirement: NIST traceable thermometers used to verify the calibration of other
thermometers or temperature sensors (i.e., limited use only) must be recalibrated in
accordance with the manufacturer's recalibration date and the process documented. If no
recalibration date is given, the NIST traceable thermometer must be recalibrated every 5 years.
Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved Procedure for Field Analysis of Temperature. Please submit
documentation of the NIST traceability for the thermometer that will be used to verify
the DO meter temperature sensors with the response to this report.
Comment: The laboratory may either have this thermometer calibrated to NIST traceable
specifications or a new thermometer may be obtained and a copy of the certificate of NIST
traceability submitted with the response to this report.
Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18`" Edition, 4500 Cl G
G. Finding: The laboratory is not verifying the instruments' internally stored curves every 12
months.
Requirement: Analyze a water blank to zero the instrument and then analyze a series of five
standards. The curve verification must check 5 concentrations (not counting the blank) that
bracket the range of the samples to be analyzed. This type of curve verification must be
performed at least every 12 months. The values obtained must not vary by more than 10% of
the known value for standard concentrations greater than or equal to 50 µg/L and must not vary
by more than 25% of the known value for standard concentrations less than 50 µg/L. The
overall correlation coefficient of the curve must be >_0.995. Ref: NC WW/GW LC Approved
Procedure for Field Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine. Please submit calibration
verification curves for each instrument with the response to this report.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the laboratory verify the internal calibration using
the concentrations: 10, 20, 50, 200 and 400 pg/L. This will verify the analytical range used to
measure Proficiency Testing (PT) and environmental samples, demonstrate accuracy at or
below client permit limits and allow the use of the 0.20 mg/L (i.e., 200 pg/L) Gel Standard as the
midrange daily check standard.
Comment: The laboratory is using 2 different Hach DR-2800 instruments. Each instruments'
internal calibration curve must be verified every 12 months. Documentation showed the last time
either instrument was verified was on November 20, 2009.
H. Finding: The lab is reporting results less than the lower reporting concentration from the last
verified calibration curve for Total Residual Chlorine on the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs).

Please see Ed's email below. I agree with Ed that Pittsboro should not be adding material to their digester while they
are trying to demonstrate that they have stabilized the material.

Subject: RE: Pittsboro WWTF residuals program
Jon,
The White House, EPA/625/R-92/013, has the statement below on page 22.
Class B Biosolids

Class B biosolids can meet pathogen reduction requirements at any point; there is no requirement that Class B biosolids be
tested just before distribution. Therefore, biosolids which have met the Class B pathogen reduction requirements can be
stored on site without retesting. However, if the Class B biosolids are mixed with other materials or the quality of the
biosolids are otherwise altered, the new biosolids product must meet pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction
requirements.
The same is true for Class B biosolids that are distributed and no longer under the control of the preparer. Stored Class B
biosolids do not have to be retested for pathogen reduction, unless the quality of the biosolids is somehow altered through
mixing or further processing.
It is my opinion if the digester being added to is mixed and the pH at time of application is 12 or above it is meeting the
pH requirement, but this may not be EPA's opinion. In the past the Division has followed EPA and not allowed any
addition to storage tanks after testing.
Not sure, but the town maybe trying to only have one mobilization fee from the applier when there could be two fees if
the applier had to come in two different times.

Subject: Pittsboro WWTF residuals program
Ed and Chonticha,
During an NPDES permit inspection, RRO noticed that the town of Pittsboro is not meeting Pathogen/VAR requirements
for their digesters. They have 2 digesters that they waste to. When the second digester is almost full they call Synagro
and set up a land application event. According to that schedule they add lime to both digesters to adjust the PH to meet
stabilization requirements. The problem is continuously add wasted sludge to the Digester. It seems to me that they
should schedule a land app event one digester at a time to ensure this does not occur. Can you think of any other
options they may have. Does EPA allow any % of un-stabilized material to be added once the pH adjustment begins (I
don't think so)? Ed, do you remember any similar cases with enforcement? Danny wouldn't mind knowing of any similar
cases.
Thanks

Subject: Town of Pittsboro /Review of Robeson Creek Discharge
NPDES Permit NCO020354
Dear Mayor Voller:
It was a pleasure meeting with you and Bryan Gruesbeck on January 22, 2013 to discuss potential
NPDES wastewater discharge alternatives. This letter addresses the issues discussed in that meeting and
in your letter to me dated December 10, 2012. Your current permit provides for a discharge (up to 0.75
MGD) to Robeson Creek, with a future expansion (up to 2.47 MGD) to the Haw River, for a total
permitted discharge of 3.22 MGD. Due in part to the high capital costs for a discharge to the Haw River,
you requested that Division of Water Quality (DWQ) evaluate the possibility of additional flow being
sent to Robeson Creek as an interim wastewater solution. Based on further evaluation by DWQ staff, I
offer the following thoughts for your consideration.
Expanding Flow to Robeson Creek Beyond 0.75 MGD.
The limiting factor for additional wastewater flow to Robeson Creek has been the EPA -approved 2004
Total Phosphorus (TP) TMDL, which results in a fixed TP limit of 322 pounds TP/summer season to
Robeson Creek. The entire TMDL point source load was allocated to the Pittsboro W WTP, In order to
comply with this TP load limit, Pittsboro would need to achieve the following summer average TP
effluent concentrations at the specified flows: 0.75 MGD (0.24 mg/1 TP), 1.0 MGD (0.18 mg/1 TP), 1.5
MGD (0.12 mg/1 TP), 2.0 MGD (0.09 mg/l TP), 2.5 MGD (0.07 mg/1 TP), 3.22 MGD (0.05 mg/1 TP).
Significant progress has been made over the last decade in phosphorus removal mechanisms, to the point
where some facilities are meeting limits less than 0.1 mg/I TP. However, these require specialized
attention and specialized TP removal processes, and can be costly.
In light of the noted advances in TP reduction, DWQ would be willing to reconsider additional flow to
Robeson Creek. As a first step, it is recommended that you seek input from your consulting engineers
regarding what additional flow you might propose to discharge to Robeson Creek, based on level of TP
treatment required and cost to achieve those levels. Then you might want to schedule another meeting
with DWQ for further discussion. Additional steps would include a request to the NPDES Permit Unit

for speculative limits for the proposed discharge volume to Robeson Creek, to determine whether there
will be any changes to other permit limits (e.g, BOD, ammonia). It might also be advisable to discuss TP
treatment design with DWQ's Infrastructure Finance Section/Design Management Unit, as you would
ultimately need to secure an Authorization to Construct (ATC) permit and provide engineering designs
for treating TP to low levels. Finally, a reminder that both Robeson Creek and Haw River discharge to
Jordan Lake, for which the Jordan Lake TMDL sets both Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus mass
limits based on the total discharge from Pittsboro W WTP.
Potential State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Actions.
The Town of Pittsboro received a SEPA Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Record of Decision, on
March 19, 2010, for the wastewater expansion to Haw River. If the Town proposes to increase the
wastewater discharge to Robeson Creek, this additional flow must be subtracted from the volume allotted
to the Haw River discharge, so the total permitted flow remains at 3.22 MGD. If the requested flow
expansion to Robeson Creek exceeds 0.5 MGD, then the SEPA EIS must be reopened.
Robeson Creek Instream Reassessment.
Robeson Creek was initially impaired for chlorophyll -a, which was addressed by the development of the
Robeson Creek TP TMDL. The creek is still listed as impaired on the 2012 303(d) list for aquatic life.
Significant work has been undertaken to improve water quality conditions. DWQ will attempt to re-
evaluate the status of the benthic impairment with additional field sampling this summer.
I hope this information assists you with your future wastewater planning needs. If you have any
questions, please contact me or the following DWQ staff for specific technical questions:

This message is to inform you of a monitoring problem we are having with our effluent flow totalizer. The
equipment malfunctioned on Wednesday, September 12th at approximately 12:00 noon. Our in house electrician
worked to troubleshoot the problem with no success, and an outside technician was called in the next morning. He
was able to get the instantaneous flow reading restored, but the totalizer is still not functioning. I hope to have a
PLC technician to the plant on Mon. or Tues. of next week to resolve the problem. I plan to record influent flow,
minus any water sent to 3M via our reclaimed system, for the period of time in which this equipment is down.
I will send you a message as soon as our effluent totalizer is back up and functioning, and revert back to effluent
reporting the very next 24hr. period.
Thanks,

Hi Randy!!
I was wondering how everything turned out!
1. Fabulous!! Hope you are enjoying your new RAS pumps @
2. Moving the sampling location is acceptable. You will continue to have problems with TSS and maybe BOD and
Fecal if you keep the sampling location at the bottom of the cascade. Actually, proper sampling protocol
dictates that you "not" sample @ the side, bottom or in an eddy. In addition, the water needs to be quiescent,
to get a good draw. I say go ahead; I will print this email, put it in the file and let Fleahman in APS know what
you're doing. And technically, it is past the last treatment process (post -aeration means the work is done,
right?)
Thanks so much for allowing me to help you and call me if you need help with anything!! Thanks for taking care of
Pittsboro.

Hello Mandy,
1 wanted to get back to you to follow up our previous conversation about our new RAS pumps, and also ask you about an
issue with our effluent sampler location.
1.) The RAS pumps — I think your assessment was right on the money with your thoughts of the RAS pumps being
more efficient than the old air lifts, and the fact that I had more solids in the system than I thought. We have
increased our wasting and settleability is looking a lot better and SVI is coming down. Thanks for your insight,
pretty impressive!!
2.) Effluent sampler location — The issue we are seeing here is when we are running our re-claim system to 3M,
there is a lot less water going down the cascade and to the sampler pick-up. We are still able to get enough
sample, but at times we are pulling off of the bottom and picking up debris that is not really representative or our
effluent TSS. I was hoping to move our sampler upstream of the cascade, after the UV. We are trying to achieve
grade A re-claim water classification which requires a TSS of < 5 mg/I.
Any help you give us here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Randy

Dear Mr. Terry:
The Construction Grants & Loans Section of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality has
concluded review of the subject change orders and supporting documents received in October for
Seaside's contract.
Accordingly, the following determination has been made:
Ch. Order #8 FINAL Total Change, all Eligible $ 10,546.37
Revised Original Contract and Eligible amount $ 1,878,085.62
Contract and Eligible before this Change Order $ 1,914,004.31
Contract and Eligible amount after this CO#8 $ 1,924,550.68
Total ARRA finding is limited to $ 2,492,739.62
Change Order #8 is for a replacing 4 inoperable sludge valves with new valves and related
fittings. No additional time was sought on this or the previous 7 change orders, hence contract
completion date remains October 29, 2010.
This Final Change Order with related procurement documentation has been found to be in
compliance with applicable SRF (ARRA) regulations. However, it should be understood that this
approval is administrative only and does not relieve the recipient of the responsibility to ensure the
validity of the supporting documentation including the corresponding cost and pricing data.
Accordingly, this approval is without prejudice to a redetermination of allowable/unallowable
costs should a post approval review or audit disclose facts not now discernible.
