Dear Mr. Prevette:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On July 17, 2009, I sent you a letter waiving requirements for certified operator visitation of the subject
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the monitoring and reporting requirements established pursuant to North
Carolina's environmental laws and the NPDES permit. This action was taken based upon information provided
by you, your associates, and the staff of our Mooresville Regional Office. The letter included recommendations
that would help ensure a discharge could not occur from the WWTP and directed you to inform the Division of
Water Quality if circumstances at the site changed such that a discharge may occur.
It has come to my attention that, along with inflow and infiltration, some activity still occurs at the site that may
introduce volumes of wastewater to the WWTP, and that over time these volumes may accumulate such that their
treatment and discharge will be required. Therefore, the waiver I previously issued is hereby withdrawn and you
are directed to resume daily visitation of the WWTP along with monitoring and reporting as directed by your
permit.
In addition, you must become up to date with regard to discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals. Our
records indicate the last report received from you was for May 2009. It is my understanding that your contract
operations firm has continued with its daily visitation of the WWTP, even after the waiver was issued. They
should be able to assist you in preparation and submittal of missing DMRs. Please note the Division requires
these reports to complete the record for the WWTP, even if such reports state no discharge occurred.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at (919) 807-6398 or
via e-mail at bob.sledge@ncdenr.gov.

Subject: Waiver of Monthly Reporting Requirement
Homer's Truck Stop WWTP
NPDES Permit NCO077615
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Prevette:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2B, Section .0506 enumerates specific
reporting requirements applicable to holders of NPDES permits issued by the State of North Carolina.
15A NCAC 2B .0506 (a)(1)(E) states that permittees must continue to submit monthly discharge
monitoring reports (DMRs) to the Division of Water Quality, even when there is no discharge from the
facility during the reporting period. This requirement may be waived by the Director of the Division of
Water Quality (or her designees) during extended periods of no discharge.
I have reviewed your correspondence received in our office on July 15, 2009. You stated the business
on your property has been closed. Conversations with Mr. Bob Brawley and the staff of the Mooresville
Regional Office confirm that flows to the wastewater plant first decreased, then ceased over the course
of recent months. At the present time, there are no plans to reopen the business as it existed, and in fact,
you are now in the process of selling the property. Based upon these circumstances, you have requested
suspension of the requirements for monitoring and reporting as required by the NPDES permit, and for
operator visitation.
After reviewing your request and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Mooresville
Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject
facility, effective with the July 2009 DMR. Additionally, I hereby waive the requirement for daily
operator visitation at this facility. I encourage you to take all necessary steps to ensure there will be no
discharge from this system, including, but not limited to, the pumping out of any liquid from the lift
station and the WWTP. Furthermore, you are encouraged to keep up some form of routine inspection of
the wastewater facilities to ensure they are not affected by inflow and infiltration of stormwater that may
lead to an inadvertent discharge. Please keep the Surface Water Protection Section of. the Mooresville
Regional Office apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding the future use of this
facility. Please be aware that if the facility exhibits a potential for discharge of wastewater, then .
visitation, monitoring and reporting must resume as required by the terms of the permit and North .
Carolina's environmental laws.

Mr. Homer Prevette
NC0077615 Monitoring & Reporting Suspension
p. 2
I have attached a copy of a change of ownership form for the NPDES permit along with this letter. It is
my understanding that you have a potential buyer for this property. Having this form completed and
signed during the real estate closing activities may be the best means of ensuring an efficient transfer of
responsibility for the permit and its terms. Any new owner may see the terms of the permit modified to
better reflect both the business activity and the nature of the wastewater it produces.
Please also be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are
being waived during the period of no discharge, Homer's Truck Stop, LLC is still required to pay the
Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is associated with this and all NPDES
permits.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact the Surface
Water Protection Section staff in our Mooresville Regional Office at (704) 663-1699, or me at (919)
807-6398. You may also reach me via e-mail at bob.sledge@ncdenr.gov.
