Dear Mr. Foltz:
The Division of Environmental Management has received information from the a -
Washington Regional Office which confirms that the permittee has attached to the
Washington Waste Water Treatment System. Therefore, as you requested, Permit No. 4
WQ0000628 is hereby rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future, you determine that you wish to operate a nondischarge wastewater
treatment system, you .must first apply for and receive a new Nondischarge Permit.
Operation of a wastewater system without a valid Nondischarge Permit will subject the
owner to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day.
If there is a need for any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate
to contact Robert Farmer at [phone], ext. 531.
Sincerely,

Re: Recommendation for Rescission
State Permit No. WQ0000628
Flanders Filters
Beaufort County
By way of a copy of a letter from you to Jeffrey H. Foltz of Flanders Filters
dated December 10, 1992, we were asked to confirm that the referenced permit
is no longer needed. According to Jerry D. Cutler (City of Washington
Treatment Facilities Superintendent) as of January 10, 1994 Flanders Filters
connected their wastewater treatment system to the City's central sewerage
system. The wastewater treatment system has been permitted by the City under
their pretreatment program. Because the spray irrigation disposal system is
no longer in use, the referenced.permit is no longer needed. We recommend the
permit be rescinded.

I am writing to update you on the status of our connection to the
City of Washington sewerage collection system. The pipe has been
run from our facility to the lift station. A crew is currently
working on connecting the new pipe to the lift station. Mr.
Russell Waters, Director of Public Works, is stall planning to
have all work completed and Flanders Filters tied into the city
system before the end of December.
In a discussion with Mr. Robert Farmer of the State Compliance
Section we discussed my current bill for compliance monitoring.
Since the spray field should be out of service before expiration
of the permit he suggested I sign the invoice requesting that the
permit be rescinded. I have done so and returned it to Raleigh.
That is our current status regarding the subject permit. If you
need any further information please let me know.
Sincerely,
FLANDERS LTERS, INC.

I am in receipt of a copy of the letter you signed dated December 10, 1993 acknowledging
that the company has requested that the permit be rescinded. I have had contact with the
company for the last few months and the letter they sent was to request that the permit be
allowed to expire without them being fined for failing to request renewal in a timely manner.
They have an existing spray permit under WQ628 that is going to be eliminated once a
connection vai a sewer extension to the City of Washington is made. We issued a sewer
extension to them for this connection and they needed to maintain their spray permit until the
connection is made. The spray permit is due to expire on January 31, 1994 and they will
probably need every day of this time, in fact, they were told to keep me up to date, because
they may need more time, and they were told that the spray could not be allowed to expire
and it still operational. The letter indicated that once you receive confirmation from the
Washington Regional office, that the permit would be rescinded. This should not happen
unless in fact, the region confirms that the connection is made and this facility is off line and
out of operation. FYI and use. Call me if questions. Tks, Carolyn
