Transmitted herewith are the completed/signed originals and two copies each of the subject
NPDES permit application and sludge management plan. Also attached are two copies of this
cover letter.
There have been no major modifications to the wastewater treatment facility since issuance of
the last permit. However, Aqua NC still anticipates expansion of this facility and therefore
requests that the renewed permit contain the same language regarding this matter as is in the
current NPDES permit. The current permit provides for expansion to 0.2 MGD (upon approval
of an authorization to construct) and sets forth effluent limitations for the expanded facility. It is
my understanding that no filing fee is required for this renewal.
If you have questions regarding this application, please do not hesitate to contact me.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
for
Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (Western Region -High Point)
No sludge will be treated on any wastewater treatment plant site operated by
Aqua North Carolina, Inc.
Where practical, sludge removal from Aqua North Carolina West facilities will be
transported via a contract hauler to another Aqua North Carolina West facility for
the purpose of "seeding" a new or under -loaded plant when there is a need for
such.
Unusable (or "dead") sludge will be removed by a permitted/licensed contract
hauler and properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract
haulers used by Aqua North Carolina West will be required to report, via a
sludge -hauler .manifest, the quantity of sludge transported and identify the
location of the proposed disposal site if the sludge is not taken to an existing
plant operated by Aqua North Carolina West. Aqua North Carolina West has not
entered into any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not
owned by them and have no intentions of doing so.
Aqua North Carolina West will keep records on the quantity of sludge removed
from each facility, the name of the contract hauler, and the destination of the
sludge (whether used in another plant or disposed of). The information will be
kept on file and will be made available to any regulatory agency having
jurisdiction over sludge treatment or disposal.
Aqua North Carolina West includes all of the facilities under the jurisdiction of the
Winston-Salem Regional Office.
