Catawba permits update
Subject: Catawba permits update
Date: Thu, 02 Mar 2000 11:13:52 -0500
From: Charles Weaver <[e-mail]>
To: Forrest Westall < Forrest.Westall@ncmail. net>
CC: Mike Parker <[e-mail]>, Jim Reid <[e-mail]>,
Keith Haynes <[e-mail]>
The following Catawba River facilities have NOT sent in renewal
applications:
NC0026654 - Town of Crossnore (Avery County)
NC0069965 - Hillside Mobile Village (McDowell County)
NCO045543 - Brigam Medical (Avery County)
NCO035157 - Pinnacle Rest Home (McDowell County)
NCO077801 - Gibbs Motel & Restaurant (McDowell County)
The following facilities discharge to zero -flow streams. As we
discussed earlier today, Dave would like your recommendations on whther
the renewed permits for these sites hsould have an ammonia limit or WET
test. We can phase in either change on a 6 or 12-month compliance
schedule. The facilities are:
NC0023124 - GGCC Utility (Avery County)
NC0060224 - Jonas Ridge Nursing Home (Burke County)
NC0079481 - Harmony Estates (McDowell County)
I'll draft the Blue Ridge Country Club permit (NC0080098) to match the
existing one.
I'll also get the Jeld-Wen permit (NC0076180) drafted and approve their
request to add contact cooling water to their 001 discharge.
Thanks for your help with these,
