The current permit became effective on June 1, 2014 and expired on January 31, 2019. The permit
renewal application was received by the Division on August 2, 2018. Permit is curently under review
for renewal. The subject permit is for the continued operation of two (2) cooling ponds with oil
skimming baffles that discharge into Richardson Creek which is Class C waters in the Yadkin -Pee
Dee River Basin.
Permit modification was issued (May 8, 2015) to reduce Chronic Toxicity testing from effluent
concentration of 58% for all quarterly test to effluent concentration of 52% for May and August tests
and 40% for February and November tests.
A 12-month review of compliance history, September 2020 through August 2021, found one reported
violation for toxicity testing due to lab error for the month of May 2021.
At time of inspection effluent was clear with no visible suspended solids.
