Dear Mr. Simpson:
The Division issued the subject permit to Central Transport for a pump and haul operation to serve
the Central Transport, Inc. truck cleaning facility in Aurora, North Carolina on July 9, 1993. On August
4, 1993, the Division received a copy of a letter from Glen Simpson of Central Transport, Inc. requesting
several changes in the language of the subject permit. Upon review of the subject letter dated July 30,
1993, the Division offers the following permit modification to reflect a more accurate representation of the
pump and haul activities allowed by this permit. Please be advised in accordance with North Carolina
General Statute 143-213 (18)b, the wash water generated by the Central Transport, Inc. truck cleaning
facility meets the definition of an "industrial waste".
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 1995, shall void Permit No.
WQ0008118 issued July 9, 1993, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements 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 amendment are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following
receipt of this permit on the modified portions 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.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. John A. Kuske III at
