Residuals in the State of North Carolina

Dear Mr. Thomas:
During an internal review by the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Non -Discharge Compliance and
Enforcement Unit, it was discovered that a minor typographical error was made in the above -referenced permit
during its recent reissuance to reflect a Permittee name change from Wheelabrator Water Technologies, Inc. to
Synagro-WWT, Inc. As such, we are forwarding herewith a corrected Page I of Permit No. WQ0010285, issued on
October 25, 2001, for the subject wastewater residuals distribution program.
The following correction has been made to the permit:
1. Page I of the permit defines the effective date of the issued permit and voids the previous issuance of
the permit. The wrong issuance date of the previous permit was erroneously written into tate permit
language. The correct issuance date of the previous permit is January 21, 2000 and not January 21,
2001.
Please replace Page 1 with the corrected Page 1 into Permit No. WQ0010285, issued on October 25,
2001. If you need any additional information concerning this matter, please contact As�­Shannon M'0lU'T-hornburg
at [phone], extension 353. '?
` Sincefely,
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
