Permitting Section
Dear Ms. Gore:
Although I have yet to receive a hardcopy of your letter of Notice of Violation issued to MSD
Pretreatment Program dated May 16, 2018, I am responding to the one received via email on Monday,
May 21st. Needless to say, MSD's management was stunned to learn of the omission of required
documents and is pursuing immediate action to correct this. Our intentions are to send all documents
by the June 15th deadline. I am enclosing with this letter thirteen signed copies of SIU permits, permit
rationale and applications. In all, of the 20 permitted Sills only six permits remain outstanding.
We take this matter very seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation on how this normal
administrative process could have been overlooked. And rest assured that follow up measures will be
taken to make sure this will not happen again. In the meantime, please direct all future correspondence
to my direct attention. As we continue to work to get the requested information together should you
have any questions,you may contact me on my direct line [phone].

Permit for Monitoring Point 01 based on the MSD Sewer Use Ordinance or
Best Professional Judgment(BPJ).
Daily
Pollutants Maximum Units
TSS 468 lbs/day
2. The following pollutants were assigned numerical limits in this Industrial User
Permit for Monitoring Point 01 (40 CFR 433.15) based on the categorical
regulations and the MSD Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) which-ever is more
restrictive.
Daily
Pollutants Maximum Units
Cadmium 0.156 lbs/day
Chromium 1.560 lbs/day
Copper 1.560 lbs/day
Nickel 1.560 lbs/day
Zinc 1.560 lbs/day
Lead 0.624 lbs/day
Mercury 0.008 lbs/day
Arsenic 0.780 lbs/day
Beryllium 0.156 lbs/day
Selenium 1.560 lbs/day
These limits do not result in over allocation the Maximum Allowable Industrial
Loading determined with the Headworks Analysis among all Users
The Metropolitan Sewerage Treatment Plant is experiencing no difficulty treating
the industrial waste it is receiving at this time. Permit limits are based on the current
Headworks Analysis, which considers most recent available industrial monitoring and
analytical characterization of the MSD Wastewater System. Limits established in
Permits to Discharge Industrial Waste were utilized in the Headworks Analysis to
determine the capability of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to operate within design and
Permit Limits, pass-through and receiving stream Water Quality Criteria, and without
chemical inhibition.

Duke Energy Progress Asheville Plant
Dear Mr. Hartye:
In accordance with Part III Z., Duke Energy Progress Asheville Plant respectfully submits our
application for renewal of the facility's Permit to Discharge Industrial Wastewater S-074-15. Enclosed
please find the Significant Industrial User Application for Permit to Discharge and Wastewater
Survey. The facility began discharging in October of 2015, the values included Section 18. Waste
Characterization, represent an average of constituents sampled through June of 2016.
With this submittal, Duke Energy Progress delegates signatory authority to the position of Acting
Plant Manager in accordance with MSD Sewer Use Ordinance 1.03.04.c.
The station plans to retire the two coal combustion units by the end of 2019. At that time, the
permitted waste stream will be eliminated.
Pease feel free to contact Tina Woodward at [phone] or Teresa Williams at [phone]
should you have any questions about this submittal. -
Sincerely,

Pursuant to the Sewer Use Ordinance of the Metropolitan Sewerage District of Buncombe County,North Carolina(MSD),all
persons who are users or may become users of the sewerage systems are subject to regulation. Some of the objectives of our
Ordinance and this wastewater survey/and application are:
• To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Sewerage System which will interfere with the operation of the Sewerage
System or contaminate the resulting sludge generated;
• To prevent the introduction of pollutants into the Sewerage System which will pass through the system,inadequately treated, into
any waters of the State or otherwise be incompatible with the Sewerage System;
• To promote reuse and recycling of industrial wastewater and sludges from the Sewerage System;and
• To provide for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the Sewerage System,through the issuance of permits to certain
nondomestic Users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other Users;authorizes monitoring and enforcement
activities,requires User reporting and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs.
