Box 3136 Greensboro, North Carolina Dear Mr. Williams: 27402-3136 April 1. 2004 Subject: Permit Modification Correction NPDES Permit NC0047384 T.Z. Osborne WWTP Guilford County The Division issued a Final Permit dated 12/ 11 /02 for this facility, which was contested by the permittee. A Settlement Agreement dated 1/8/04 was subsequently reached, which resulted in a permit modification dated 3/15/04 that changed the mercury limit compliance schedule from 1 / 1 /04 to 10/ 1 /04. Since the Settlement Agreement and Permit Modification ultimately activate all other requirements of the 2002 Final Permit, we are correcting the new permit effective date to 5/1/04. By setting the effective date to the first day of a month, all monitoring frequency requirements and limits will remain constant for the month. This corrected effective date will also provide the necessary lead time for the permittee to schedule for additional monitoring requirements associated with the new permit. A new Permit Cover Sheet with the corrected permit effective date is attached. If you have any questions concerning this permit correction, please contact Tom Belnick at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 543. Sin �fYl ` erely,// � rR �t.%G f_eut an W.

Promptly after the last weekly mercury analytical result is repot for both WWTPs pursuant to Paragraph 3, the Department will perform a reasonable pote analysis for each W'WTP separately to determine whether, based on the six months of mercury analytical data, there is a reasonable potential for a future violation of the mercury effluent limit (the Mercury Limit, i.e., the mercury effluent limit established in the Permit Renewals) at each W WTP (an RP Analysis). if the RP Analysis shows there may be a reasonable potential for a future violation of the Mercury Limit at a WWTP and if the City so requests, the Department Agrees to perform a -3- WATER & LAND SECTION Fax:919-716-6766 Jan 7 '04 15:57 P.05 second RP Analysis taking into account any sample field blank corrections for that WWTP in accordance with US EPA Method 1631, Revision E or later revision (the Second RP Analysis).
