Dear Mr. Murrell:
In accordance with your application received April 22, 1997, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0013772 dated August 12, 1997, to Waste Management of Coastal Carolina for the construction

Subject: Permit Application WQ0013772
Waste Management Truck Wash Facility
Onslow County
By Memo sent July 1, 1997, this Office raised several concerns about the
subject project. It is now understood through our telephone conversation today that
several changes have been made to the project. The normal mode of operation will
be to recycle the treated washwater for use in the high pressure cleaner. The design
flow has been reduced to 500 GPD. If there is a problem which prevents recycling of
the wastewater, it will be hauled to an industrial pretreatment facility. Using.it as
makeup water for portable toilets is still an option upon approval by the Solid Waste
Branch.
Based on the above, it is recommended that a permit be issued for the subject
recycle project.
