Subject: Draft NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit NC0080853
Salem Business Park Remediation Site

Grade I PCWPCS
SIC Code 3661
Dear Mr. Fisher:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the Draft NPDES permit renewal for your facility. Please
review this draft carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and conditions it
contains. There are several changes from the existing permit, including the following:
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA)results, quarterly monitoring for
trichloroethene has been removed from the permit.
• Based on the reasonable potential analysis (RPA)results, quarterly monitoring has been
changed to monthly monitoring for tetrachloroethene(PCE), the daily maximum limit for
PCE has been removed, and a monthly average limit of 6.12 ug/L has been added to the
permit.
• As 1,4-dioxane is considered a parameter of concern and the facility is near Water Supply
waters, annual monitoring for 1,4-dioxane and Special Condition A.(4.) 1,4-Dioxane
Monitoring and Limits Reopener have been added to the permit.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring
data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)
internet application has been added to your NPDES permit[See Special Condition A. (5.)].
• Parameter characteristic codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements [ See A. (1.)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
The NPDES standard conditions (Parts II, III, and IV) that are a part of the permit are not
included in this draft document(cover,map, and Part I). The conditions are the same as in your
current permit except that agency and division names have been updated. The latest version is
available at https://bit.ly/2BZ4xxx and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF file.
