In accordance with the amendment request received on June 13, 1997, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0001271 as amended, dated August 29, 1997, to the City of Wilmington for the operation
of a wastewater residuals land application program. This permit has been amended as requested to
incorporate an additional 565.7 acres of land into the land application program. Please note, the available
acres for land application has actually dropped to 2,358.5 acres because previous permits listed the gross
available acres (which included buffer acreage). This change will not affect the land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 1999, shall void Permit No.
WQ0001271 issued October 9, 1995, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in this
permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational
information will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447,
Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
