Dear Monti,
Enclosed are copies of Cascades Tissue Group, Cascades Molded Pulp, Vondrehie
Corp., and Perdue's amended industrial user permits and transmittal letters. The testing
for MBAS and CTAS was removed from each permit since the issues at the WWTP have
been resolved and we have three years worth of data to look back on and make
changes should need be. We also amended the sampling location on Perdue's permit
after we found that the previous sampling manhole didn't include all of the flow
discharged to the POTW.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 910-895-9434. Thank you.

Re: IUP No.015
Dear Mr. Dawkins:
Please find enclose the modified Industrial User Pretreatment Permit for your company. This
modification removes from the Permit the requirement to monitor and report test results for MBAS and
CTAS. This action is being taken since the concentration of surfactants discharged to the City's
wastewater treatment plant have been within acceptable levels for an extended period of time. If
concentrations of surfactants become problematic in the future the testing for surfactants may be
reinstated.
This permit modification will become effective on August 19, 2019.

Re: IUP No.004
Dear Mr. Dawkins:
Please find enclose the modified Industrial User Pretreatment Permit for your company. This
modification removes from the Permit the requirement to monitor and report test results for MBAS and -
CTAS. This action is being taken since the concentration of surfactants discharged to the City's
wastewater treatment plant have been within acceptable levels for an extended period of time. If
concentrations of surfactants become problematic in the future the testing for surfactants may be
reinstated.
This permit modification will become effective on August 19, 2019.

Re: IUP No.003
Dear Mr. Hiner:
Please find enclose the modified Industrial User Pretreatment Permit for your company. This
modification removes from the Permit the requirement to monitor and report test results for MBAS and
CTAS. This action is being taken since the concentration of surfactants discharged to the City's
wastewater treatment plant have been within acceptable levels for an extended period of time. If
concentrations of surfactants become problematic in the future the testing for surfactants may be
reinstated.
In addition,this Permit modification includes the relocation of the sampling point for permit
compliance. The new sampling point will be the manhole nearest the fence as shown in the sketch
included in the modified Permit.
This permit modification will become effective on August 19, 2019.
