subsequently amended).
This final permit includes no significant changes from the draft permit sent to you on September 26,
2007; however, you are reminded of the following changes in its terms from those found in your existing
permit:
• A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) daily maximum limit has been added; however the limit will not
become effective until July 1, 2009 (18 months following the effective date of the permit).
• Weekly monitoring of the effluent for temperature has been added to the permit.
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

such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.

YES_ This .is a SIMPLE EXPEDITED permit renewal (administrative
renewal with no changes, or only minor changes such as TRC, NH3,
name/ownership changes). Include conventional WTPs in this group.
YES_ This is a MORE COMPLEX EXPEDITED permit renewal (includes
Special Conditions'(such as EAA, Wastewater Management Plan), 303(d)
listed, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns, phased
limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
YES_ This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
