modification of NPDES Permit No. NCO033077 issued to the Contentnea
Metropolitan Sewerage District wastewater treatment facility. The modification
shall amend the existing NPDES permit to allow the conjunctive use of treated
wastewater as provided for in this permit.
This permit in no way negates, precludes, or invalidates the most recent
reissuance of NPDES Permit No. NC0033077, and the Permittee shall continue
to comply with all conditions provided for therein.
9. No effluent spray irrigation will occur according to condition 8, Section 1T of this
permit until sludge disposal areas designated Site A and C, Tract II, Zones 10, 11
and 12 are removed from permit WQ0001048.
10. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee
within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee
accordingly may cause the Division to initiate action to revoke this permit as
specified by 15 NCAC 211.0205(c)(4).
11. The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall
request its extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review
the adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will extend the
permit for such period of time under such conditions and limitations as it may
deem appropriate_
