continued operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection extension. Our database has
been revised to reflect the ownership change.
The Permittee shall maintain compliance with its individual system-wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2T .0400 and G.S 143-215.9B. If
an individual permit is not required,the performance criteria as required by 15A NCAC 02T.0403 shall be
met. If you have any other questions regarding this matter please contact Melissa Abbott, at
