Jim,
Great to hear this! I talked to the APS group about it and they were in agreement
that this should not be allowed given the type of discharge and the receiving water
body.
Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Dear Mr. Kelly:
I have discussed this request with my supervisor, Gil Vinzani, Tom Moore of the
Wilmington Regional Office, and others in the office. We agree that The Division
of Water Quality cannot allow this as proposed. We believe that better Operation
and Maintenance, along with a larger surge tank should take care of Bald Head's
'problems during heavy rain events. If Bald Head wants to proceed with applying
for a new NPDES permit for the WWTP to discharge directly instead of
non -discharge, a full SEPA including an EA and an Engineering Alternative Analysis
would have to be performed. It is very doubtful that this would be successful
since the waste water is currently disposed via a non -discharge process.
Best regards,
Jim McKay

Good Morning, Currently Bald Head Island has a NPDES permit that was issued
last fall for 87,000 gpd for the RO reject water. I would like to modify that
permit and increase it to 688,000 gpd and combine it with WWTP reclaimed
water. This would only be for a maximum of 90 days per year. For the
application, would I use EPA Form 2A or 2C and I assume an engineering
alternative analysis would be required. Thank you, Autie Kelley
