Dear Mr. Warren:
In accordance with your application received May 4, 2015, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00048, dated June 15, 2015, to the City of Roxboro for the operation and maintenance of the subject
wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from November 1, 2015 until October 31, 2023 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please
pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special
conditions.
Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the changes are for
clarification purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was
included based on proposed rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and in the continued
absence of Federal regulations, DENR lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DENR will
continue to exercise enforcement discretion when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be
considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit
identifying the changes made is available at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/­wq/swl2/1)$As/apps
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low
pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and
appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant
under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal
agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those
collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page
1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive
of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
