Hamilton May 7,2019 Mr. John Hennessy, Supervisor NPDES Compliance and Expedited Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 re: NPDES Permit NC0089583 NC Division of Parks and Recreation Hibernia Recreation Area#1 Henderson,NC Dear Mr. Hennessey: The Division of Parks and Recreation would like to formally request to be released from our current NPDES permit and go back to the NCG550000 general permit that we had for many years at the above referenced facility. When we replaced the existing shower house a few years ago, we did not have good water use records and the size of the campground seemed to indicate that we probably exceeded the flow limit for the general permit.The permit is for 70 campsites with a shower house that is only open in the warm weather months.A new water meter was installed with the new shower house,and the water use has never exceeded 1000 gallons per day since the new facility has been in operation; including several holiday weekend periods when the campground has been full.Going back to the general permit will reduce the significant costs for effluent testing required under the NPDES permit. If you need any additional information in order to review this request, please let me know.Thank you for consideration of our request.
