Subject: Draft NPDES Permit NC0078697
RJG, Inc.-Six Oaks Complex
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Smith:
The Division has reviewed your request to renew the subject permit on behalf of the Permittee. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure your thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and
requirements it contains.
The draft permit includes the following changes from the existing permit:
➢ "Tablet Chlorination"was removed from the components list in Six Oaks Complex.
➢ Section A. (3)has been updated for electronic submission of effluent data.
➢ Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
Please note that the stream classification as both Trout and HQW waters prohibits the use of chlorine for
disinfection. The 1995 Authorization to Construct (AtC)permit should be amended to include non-chlorine
disinfection before any facility is constructed.
With this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a notice in
newspapers having circulation in the general Henderson County area, per EPA requirements. Please
provide your comments, if any,to NPDES Program no later than 30 days after receiving this
draft permit.
Following the 30-day public comment period, the Division will review all pertinent comments and take
appropriate action prior to issuing a final permit. If you have questions concerning the draft,please contact
me at the telephone number listed at the bottom of this page or e-mail address [[e-mail]].
Sincerely,

EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be
required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using
eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing,

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or
due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of
the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES
electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may
be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by
the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address
above. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the
month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last
day of the month following the commencement of discharge.
