NPDES Permit NCO090247
Clear Creek WWTP
Grade II Biological WPCS
Henderson County
The Division of Water Resources (the Division) became aware of some errors in your recently
issued permit (May 6, 2024), including the following:
• The hydrological unit in the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet is incorrect. The correct
hydrological unit has been updated to 04-03-02.
• Sampling for BOD5 and TSS in Section A.(L) should also be conducted at influent in
accordance with 40 CFR § 133.102 Secondary Treatment Standards. Influent sampling
has been added for both parameters.
Accordingly, we hereby forward the modified permit pages to amend the above errors. Please
insert these change pages into your existing permit and discard the old pages. We regret any
inconvenience this causes your organization.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect
the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water
Resources or any other Federal, State, or Local governmental permits that may be required.
If you have questions, or if we can be of further service, please contact Siying Chen at
siying.chen@deq.nc.gov or call (919) 707-3619.
