Dear Dr. Davis:
The Division of Environmental Management issued the subject permit on March 28, 1990, for the
construction and/or operation of a subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal system. This Division
processed a nondischarge permit under the jurisdiction of North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1 and
130A-335 and North Carolina Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0200; "Waste Not
Discharged to Surface Waters" which was issued until March 31, 1995.
On July 14, 1992, House Bili 1545 was ratified in the North Carolina General Assembly which
transferred the authority for the plan review, permit issuance and compliance monitoring of most
Environmental Management Commission subsurface wastewater treatment and disposal systems, whose
staff body is the Division of Environmental Management, to the Commission for Health Services through
the local health departments and the Division of Environmental Health. Under this new authority, the
nondischarge permit for the wastewater treatment and disposal system under Permit No. WQ0003102 is
now under the jurisdiction of the Pender County Health Department and the Division of Environmental
Health. Under this new authority, any renewal requests, or requests for modifications, upgrades or
repairs of this system will now be reviewed and processed by the Pender County Health Department. At
least 180 days prior to the expiration date of this permit of March 31, 1995, you must contact the Pender
health department and apply for an operation permit for the continued operation and maintenance of this
system.
