Subject: Final Approval of Pretreatment Program
Town of Rutherfordton
NPDES Permit Number: NCO025909
Rutherfordton County
Dear Mr. Barrick:
The Division of Water Resources has received the request, dated April 15, 2019, for the approval of Town
of Rutherfordton's Pretreatment Program. The Town of Rutherfordton has successfully completed the
required activities established by the Division's Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection
Systems (PERCS) Unit for the development of a Division of Water Resources approved Pretreatment
Program. With consideration of the successful completion of the required activities and the public
comments received on the delegation request, the Pretreatment Program for the Town of Rutherfordton
is approved as of July 1, 2019.
Your NPDES permit contains pretreatment program requirements in Part IV (Special Conditions for
Municipal Facilities) under Section D (Pretreatment Programs) that are an important and enforceable part
of your Delegated Pretreatment Program.
The Town of Rutherfordton's Pretreatment Program is considered to be a Modified Pretreatment Program.
Modified Pretreatment Programs must send in a Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) or call to schedule a
meeting with the Division's Pretreatment Staff by March V of every year. The compliance status for each
industrial user must be judged for each six-month period (January 1—June 30 and July 1— December 31),
and appropriate enforcement actions initiated in accordance with the Enforcement Response Plan
approved by the Division.
Guidance on Pretreatment Program elements may be found in the Comprehensive Guide and on the
PERCS website. Please refer to our website periodically for program updates and additional information:
