Dear Mr. Deatherage:
Dn eclnr
As stated by 15A NCAC 02B .0506(a)(1)(E), permittees must continue to submit monthly discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) to the Division, even when there is no discharge from the facility during the reporting period. The Director may
waive this requirement during extended periods of no discharge.
I have reviewed your correspondence dated July 31, 2017, which states that the remediation system at the subject facility was
shut down on July 27, 2017. You indicated the system will either be shut down for an extended period or it will be
permanently shut down. Until a final decision is made, the permittee would like the requirement for submittal of monitoring
reports suspended.
After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Winston-Salem Regional Office, I have
agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthly DMRs for the subject facility, effective August 1, 2017. The DMRs up
through July 2017 should be submitted as usual.
Please be aware that should any discharge occur, the discharge must be monitored as per the terms of the NPDES permit.
Notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office of any pertinent developments that arise regarding wastewater treatment at this
facility, especially if remediation activities resume and the system is reactivated.
Please also be advised that while requirements for operator visitation, monitoring and reporting are being waived during the
period of no discharge, the permittee is still required to pay the Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee that is
associated with this and all NPDES permits.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Charles Weaver at 919-807-6391, or
via email [[e-mail]].
nicer y,
S. Jay Zimmerman, P.G.
Director, Division of Water Resources
