Re: NPDES Permit NCO036935
Gentlemen:
We hereby request renewal of the captioned permit. Since the filing of the previous
permit renewal application dated February 29, 2000, the dual train activated sludge
system with a permitted flow of 0.0696 MGD has been replaced with a Package Style
Wastewater Treatment System with a design flow equal to 20,000 GPD @ 240 PPM
BOD5 manufactured by Tipton Environmental International, Inc. of Batavia, Ohio.
Authorization to Construct Permit Number 036935A01 was approved as filed by letter
dated September 24, 2003 signed by Alan W. Klimek, P.E.
The facility has an aerated sludge digester in which the waste sludge is stored and
disposed of from time to time. The sludge is removed and disposed of by Mulls Concrete
& Septic Tank Service, 2416 Mount Home Church Road, Morganton, NC 28655 in
accordance with Burke County regulation.
Sincerely,

Hi Jim, I am reviewing the permit renewal for Pine Mountain Lakes WWTP (NC0036935) in
Burke County, and they indicate they have replaced their 69,600 gpd dual train system
with a 20,000 gpd package plant. I would like verification from the region that we
should reduce their design flow in the renewed permit. A reduced flow may also reduce
their monitoring requirement. Thanks. -Vanessa
