Dear Mr. Misenheimer:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
It has been brought to our attention there was an oversight in the permit sent to the Town on December
15, 2006. The previous permit included language that exempted the town from conducting instream
monitoring as long as it remained a member of the Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association, which _
conducts stream monitoring for its members. In the recently issued permit, that language was
mistakenly left out of the permit.
Attached, please find a corrected page for the footnotes associated with the limits and monitoring
requirements for the NPDES permit. In footnote 1, the following language has been added:
Instream monitoring is provisionally waived in light of the permittee's participation
in the Upper Cape,Fear River Basin Association. Instream monitoring shall be
conducted as stated in this permit should the permittee end its participation in the
Association.
No other changes have been made to the terms or conditions of the permit issued on December 15,
2006. Please remove the page that omitted the language cited above and replace it in the permit with
the attached page. We regret any inconvenience this error may have caused.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Bob Sledge at telephone number (919)
733-5083, extension 547.
Sincerely,
.Alan W. Klimek, P.E.
