Re: Request for Inactive Status of Permit No. NCO029980
MillerCoors LLC - Eden Brewery
863 East Meadow Road, Eden, NC 27288
Dear Ms. Knight:

Permitting Section
MillerCoors LLC (MillerCoors) is pleased to provide this submittal to the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) concerning a change in status at the
MillerCoors Eden Brewery located at 863 East Meadow Road in Eden, North Carolina.
Specifically, this letter is to serve as a request to place the facility's current National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit (Permit No.
NC0029980) into an "inactive" status as a result of facility closure.
It should be noted that the MillerCoors Eden Brewery facility ceased all manufacturing in
September 2016. Facility structures and process equipment were gradually
decommissioned and cleaned by facility closure, April 2017. To conclude the facility
closure, operations at the facility wastewater treatment plant were ultimately terminated,
including the acceptance and processing of all influent from the facility and the discharge of
effluent out of the facility as of April 30, 2017. Subsequently, the facility received a final
lagoon closure inspection and formal response dated March 2, 2017 in which the NCDEQ
considered the lagoon system as having been "properly closed." Based on the completed
facility closure and prior discussions with the NCDEQ regarding foreseen uses of the
NPDES permit by future potential occupants, MillerCoors is requesting to retain the facility
NPDES permit, however in an "inactive" state. This request is submitted to NCDEQ for
immediate consideration as of the final flow cessation date of April 30, 2017.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (336) 627-2502 or
via e-mail at Michael.Lozano@MillerCoors.com.
Sincerely:
Mike Lozano
Senior Utilities Project Engineer/Site Representative
