SUBJECT: PERMIT NO. WQ0000297
Subsurface Wastewater Treatment
& Disposal System
TNS MILLS BIOTECHNOLOGY,
HENDERSON COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The Division of Environmental Management issued the subject permit on
9/09/88 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 15
NCAC 2H .0200; "Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters" which was issued
until rescinded.
On July 14, 1992, House Bill 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 WQ0000297 is now under the jurisdiction of the HENDERSON
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 HENDERSON County Health Department.
