Sullins Governor Mr. Homer Prevette Homer's Truck Stop of Statesville, LLC 9964 Statesville Highway North Wilkesboro, NC 28659 Director September 16, 2009 Subject: Renewal of Monthly Reporting Requirement Homer's Truck Stop WWTP NPDES Permit NCO077615 Iredell County 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 Therefore, the waiver I previously issued is hereby withdrawn and you are directed to resume daily visitation of the WWTP along with monitoring and reporting as directed by your permit.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.

Sullins Governor Director July 17, 2009 Mr. Homer Prevette Homer's Truck Stop of Statesville, LLC 9964 Statesville Highway North Wilkesboro, NC 28659 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. 1617 Mal Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Otte Location: 512 N.

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.
