On June 28, 2011, temporary approval was given by the Division to allow the Town of Morehead City
to undertake a proposed Morehead City WWTP — Biosolids Application Testing Program as described
in Dr. Robert Rubin's letter dated May 31, 2011. The Morehead City WWTF is permitted to distribute
Class A residuals under Division Permit WQ0034842 and the activities described in Dr. Rubin's letter
are consistent with those allowed under that Permit provided conditions of the Permit are met. In
addition, the Morehead City WWTF is currently permitted to produce and distribute reclaimed water
for irrigation to City owned fields under Division Permit WQ0022156. As the reuse permit did not
specifically include the fields to be included in the Biosolids Application Testing Program, temporary
approval was given to utilize reclaimed water for irrigation on the City owned fields within the WWTF
as part of the study. Temporary approval was based on the following conditions, which temporary
approval and conditions are hereby incorporated into this new (renewed) permit:
a. No more than 1 inch per week of reclaimed water shall be applied to the fields without prior
notification of, and approval from the Wilmington Regional Office.
b. The City shall include in their monthly reporting form the total monthly volume of reclaimed water
