Martin Marietta applied for its first NPDES permit on 19 October 2011. During the extensive permitting process, questions and concerns were raised by, among others, Sound Rivers, the Southern Environmental Law Center ("SELC"), the North Carolina Coastal Federation, the Division of Marine Fisheries, the Wildlife Resource Commission, and EPA. In response, DWR thoroughly studied all material questions and concerns, requested and received additional studies from Martin Marietta and its qualified environmental consultants, and ultimately issued a revised permit to Martin Marietta. Despite DWR's well-considered decision in 2013 to issue the initial permit to Martin Marietta, this same permit was ultimately litigated for more than ten years, with twelve different judges considering the arguments advanced by SELC on behalf of Sound Rivers and the North Carolina Coastal Federation.) The end result reached by the ALJ, Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court of North Carolina was that DWR correctly issued the initial NPDES permit to Martin Marietta. 1 To avoid repetition, and to reflect reality, we will refer to all of the aligned persons and associations as "Sound Rivers." Writer's Direct Dial: 336-271-3139 Fax: 336-232-9139 Email: dsmith@brookspierce.com Brooks,Pierce,McLendon,Humphrey&Leonard,L.L.P. Attorneys and Counsellors at Law Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 2 of 10 Undeterred by the fulsome review that occurred over the past decade, Sound Rivers has misinformed the general public about the terms and conditions of the renewed NPDES permit, the conditions of Blounts Creek and its tributaries, the applicable law, and the relevant facts. It should thus come as no surprise that many of the comments received by DWR are pre-drafted and highly repetitive form comments that attempt to resurrect issues that have been fully resolved with finality by OAH and the North Carolina judicial branch. Indeed, in SELC's November 14, 2024 comment on Sound Rivers' behalf, it repeatedly references comments made during the initial permitting process and reasserts arguments about biological integrity and reference conditions that it made to the North Carolina Supreme Court, which found them to be invalid and contrary to the law. See SELL_ Comments_20241114 at nn. 1-7, 10-11, 21. Having lost these same issues over and over, Sound Rivers may not re-litigate them now. Put plainly, Sound Rivers' refusal to accept the results of a decade of litigation or respect DWR's institutional expertise provides no basis to change the terms of the renewed NPDES permit. Sound Rivers and its cohorts have had a lifetime of administrative and judicial review, only to lose at every stage. Even if Sound Rivers were somehow entitled to a do over—and it most certainly is not—nothing in the renewed permit warrants further review, much less denial. Despite the calamitous claims by Sound Rivers, the permit includes robust monitoring conditions at the discharge points (A.(L), A.(2.)), instream (A.(3.)), and for benthos (B.(4.)). DWR, pursuant to the recommendation of Biologist Supervisor Eric Fleek, accepted Martin Marietta's benthic monitoring data (from a February 2018 sampling event) and noted the renewal permit's language for benthic monitoring was reasonable. See Fact Sheet, NPDES Permit No. NC0089168, Attachment E2. And the standard conditions of an NPDES permit—which are the same between the initial and renewed permit—empower DWR to reopen, modify, or revoke a permit if water quality standards are not met. See Exhibit 1 hereto, also available at: https://www.deq.nc. ov/npdes-standard-conditions-boilerplate- 110920112/download?attachment. Thus—despite Sound Rivers' alarmist rhetoric— water quality throughout the Blounts Creek watershed is fully protected, just as the ALJ, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court found. As EPA instructs, and as Sound Rivers plainly knows, "commenters must submit all reasonable arguments and factual material in support of their positions and comments by the close of the public comment period. . . ." U.S. EPA, NPDES PERMIT WRITERS' MANUAL at § 11.3.2, p. 1142 (Sept. 2010). And DWR, in turn, Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 3 of 10 responds "to all significant comments" when it issues the final permit. 40 C.F.R. § 124.17(a)(2). All of that was done, and done, and done, and reviewed and reviewed for years, and Sound Rivers lost. It lost at the agency level after exhaustive review and it lost at the judicial level. It raised, and lost, every issue for a decade and no commenter here has submitted any issue that was not (or could not) have been raised before. Indeed, the 2013 Hearing Officer Report (available on Laserfiche) summarizes the extensive comments made during the initial permitting about pH, swamp waters, biological integrity, water chemistry, salinity, species composition, alternatives to discharge, impacts to wells, flooding, streambank erosion, and turbidity. And SELC's April 11, 2013 comment letter on behalf of Sound River's predecessor (Pamlico-Tar River Foundation) (available on Laserfiche) raises concerns that Martin Marietta's permit would violate standards for biological integrity, swamp water, salinity, pH, turbidity, and species composition. Here, Sound Rivers makes the same claims about how the mere issuance of the permit somehow violates the law, an argument already rejected by DWR and the courts over and over.And SELL attempts to persuade DWR to include new conditions in the renewal permit on the basis of biological integrity arguments thoroughly considered and resoundingly rejected by the North Carolina Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and ALJ. Sound Rivers, like Martin Marietta and DWR, must accept the final ruling of our state Supreme Court, which provides no basis whatsoever to require additional studies or impose new conditions in the renewed NPDES permit. Even if Sound Rivers cannot move on, the North Carolina Supreme Court has. The terms of the permit fully protect water quality. See, e.g., Sound Rivers, Inc. v. N.C. Dept of Envtl. Quality, Div. of Water Res., 271 N.C. App. 674, 740-743 (2020); Deep River Citizens'Coal. v. N. Carolina Dept of Env't &Nat. Res., 165 N.C.App. 206, 212- 213 (2004). The remainder of our comment seeks to remind DWR and inform the general public of the governing statutory standards and the prior judicial decisions on the very issues Sound Rivers pretends are still in question. In an effort to identify and address the public's concerns accurately, we have summarized the public comments received to date in the attached excel file, which identifies frequently used form comments submitted using templates that appear to have been prepared by Sound Rivers. Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 4 of 10 (1) The Clean Water Act and the North Carolina statutes that implement it recognize that society continues to discharge water through beneficial uses like Martin Marietta's construction aggregate quarry. The Clean Water Act aims "to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters." CWA § 101(a); 33 U.S.C. § 1251(a). In pursuing this goal, Congress recognized "the primary responsibilities and rights of States"like North Carolina to enact pollution control laws and"plan the development and use . . . of land and water resources." CWA§ 101(b); 33 U.S.C. § 1251(b) (emphasis added). States establish water quality standards "taking into consideration [waters'] use and value for public water supplies, propagation of fish and wildlife, recreational purposes, and agricultural, industrial, and other purposes, and also taking into consideration their use and value for navigation." CWA § 303(c)(2)(a); 33 U.S.C. § 1313(c)(2)(A). EPA has recognized that an NPDES permittee like Martin Marietta is interested "in obtaining a permit to conduct its economic activities in a lawful manner." EPA, Amendments to Streamline the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program Regulations: Round Two, 65 Fed. Reg. 30886, 30898 (May 15, 2000). For its part, North Carolina's public policy for water pollution control recognizes that waters will be used for economic development as well as recreation, "affirm[ing] the State's ultimate responsibility for the preservation and development of these resources in the best interest of all its citizens and declar[ing] the prudent utilization of these resources to be essential to the general welfare." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-211(a). Standards of water and air purity shall be designed to protect human health, to prevent injury to plant and animal life, to prevent damage to public and private property, to insure the continued enjoyment of the natural attractions of the State, to encourage the expansion of employment opportunities, to provide a permanent foundation for healthy industrial development and to secure for the people of North Carolina, now and in the future, the beneficial uses of these great natural resources. N.C.G.S. § 143-211(c) (emphasis added). North Carolina statutes also empower the Environmental Management Commission ("EMC") to grant permits that prevent pollution "so far as reasonably possible" and that utilize "practicable" controls. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1(b)(1),(2). EMC recognizes this statutory policy by requiring permits to "reasonably ensure compliance with applicable water quality standards. . . ." 15A N.C.A.C. 211.0112. Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 5 of 10 Thus, DWR's decision to issue a permit should be guided by reasonableness, logic, rational conclusions, and a recognition that discharge for the purpose of quarrying operations is generally appropriate. All of the individuals and organizations that have commented on the renewal permit undoubtedly travel on North Carolina roads and highways or make use of concrete structures (e.g., driveways, concrete pad foundations, commercial buildings, etc.). But they fail to appreciate that the large volumes of aggregate necessary to construct, maintain, and expand the highway system and build their homes and schools must come from mining. (2) The potential environmental impacts from quarrying operations are well studied and long understood. Within a few years of the Clean Water Act's enactment in 1972, courts considered the possible environmental impacts from the crushed stone or quarrying industry. Specifically, Clean Water Act limitations imposed on existing quarries were the subject of litigation all the way to the United States Supreme Court. When the matter was before the Fourth Circuit, it noted that approximately "three quarters of all crushed stone is limestone," like the stone to be produced at Martin Marietta's Vanceboro Quarry. Nat'l Crushed Stone Ass n, Inc. v. E.P.A., 601 F.2d 111, 112 (4th Cir. 1979), rev'd on other grounds sub nom. E.P.A. v. Nat'l Crushed Stone Assn, 449 U.S. 64 (1980). Importantly, the EPA had a broad and diverse sample set to consider in developing regulations, because the "crushed stone industry is widespread, with all States reporting some production. . . . Nationwide there are approximately 4800 crushed stone facilities." Id. "In developing the regulations the EPA considered the varieties, prevalence, and environmental effects" of water discharged from quarrying operations "and also the current pollution control practices used in the industries." Id. at 113. EPA noted that "[w]ater which collects on quarry floors `is quite clear' and `is typically of excellent purity."' Id. at 114 (citation omitted). Around this same time, EPA was asked to provide a report on limestone quarries to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. On 15 June 1982, the EPA Administrator transmitted the 175-page report to Congress. See EPA, Report to Congress: The Effects of Discharges from Limestone Quarries on Water Quality and Aquatic Biota (June 1982), available at: https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=P10119ZH.txt (hereinafter "EPA Report"). As the cover letter summarizes, "The results of this study indicate that wastewater which has been treated to remove suspended solids causes minimal adverse effects on ambient water quality." Id. at iv. The study involved EPA field studies at nine different quarries throughout the country. Id. at 3-1, 5-1. In fact, Martin Marietta was contacted to participate in the study but not included by EPA because Martin Marietta had "no plants with [stone] washing discharges, only pit Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 6 of 10 dewatering, recycle, or no discharge." Id. at 3-3.2 Although no Martin Marietta facility was used, two quarries from the same ecoregion as eastern North Carolina ("Southeastern Mixed Forest-Outer Coastal Plain Forest") were studied. See id. at 5- 4. To study the biological impacts of quarrying operations, EPA sampled and analyzed "benthic invertebrates, periphyton [(i.e. organisms attached or clinging to plants or other objects above bottom sediments)], attached algae, plankton [(i.e., floating organisms incapable of moving against the current)], and nekton [(i.e., fish)]." Id. at 4-3. Following its sampling and analysis, EPA concluded that"[t]he concentrations of suspended solids found in sedimentation pond effluents and pit dewatering discharge should have a minimal effect on water quality of receiving streams." Id. at 7-5. Turbidity levels associated with quarrying operation discharges "are within the range of turbidities reported for natural waters." Id. at 7-6. Moreover most, if not all, limestone quarries discharge into streams that arise adjacent to the quarry sites in soils already appreciably influenced by the surrounding limestone deposits. As such it is rare to find a quarry which discharges into a system that would be adversely affected by the chemical constituents of treated limestone effluents. Id. at 7-21 (emphasis added). "The TSS levels currently discharged by the limestone quarries in this study are at levels which pose little threat to the existing ecology of the studied receiving streams." Id. at 7-27. As EPA's study shows, discharge for dewatering purposes to allow quarrying poses little to no impact to stream health. A quarry is not a sewer treatment plant, swine farm, chemical production facility, or coal ash pond. For this reason, North Carolina has long-authorized mine dewatering through a general permit (NCG020000). DWR decided, however, to implement an individual permitting process for Martin Marietta's permit to study and address the various concerns raised in the initial permitting process. See Fact Sheet, NPDES Permit No. NC0089168, p. 2 of 12. At this point, all of those concerns have been exhaustively studied, addressed, and conclusively resolved through a decade of litigation. 2 The discharge authorized by the renewal permit is from pit dewatering, and thus only composed of groundwater and rain water routed through settling ponds to allow any suspended sediment to fall out of the water. Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 7 of 10 (3) The expected changes to pH are permissible as a matter of settled law. Pamlico-Tar Riverkeeper Katey Zimmerman is quoted by Sound Rivers as stating that the quarry discharge "would significantly raise the pH of the stream system, a change that is not allowable under North Carolina water-quality regulations." See Comment Binder No. 1 (8/22/2024 to 9/23/2024) p 85. The Sound Rivers website—in a section misleadingly called "Facts About Blounts Creek,"— similarly states that renewal permit "is in violation of state law" because "significantly rais[ing] the pH of the stream system . . . is not allowable under North Carolina water-quality regulations." Id. p. 191. Following this position, the Form 1, Form 2, and Form 4 comments state that a change in pH "is not allowable under North Carolina's water quality regulations." Through its work, Sound Rivers convinced approximately 311 commenters to make this same comment. But this is wrong factually and legally, and Sound Rivers knows that. This same argument about pH was previously considered and rejected by the ALJ, the Superior Court, and the Court of Appeals. See Sound Rivers, Inc. v. N.C. Dept of Envtl. Quality, Div. of Water Res., 271 N.C. App. 674, 734-739 (2020) (summarizing Sound Rivers' pH arguments and their rejection by the ALJ and Superior Court). As the Court of Appeals held, "The regulations do not require that the pH of swamp waters stay the same as they currently are and that no new discharges be allowed if the discharge would change the pH." Id. at 739. (emphasis added). The agency and the judiciary have devoted a decade of review to this exact same pH argument Sound Rivers now raises yet again. The conclusion by both DWR and the judiciary was that the range of permissible pH set in Martin Marietta's initial and renewal permits fully complies with applicable law. The permit should issue in the form proposed by DWR. (4) Species composition and ecosystem integrity has been fully studied and the renewed permit still protects them. Ms. Zimmerman and Sound Rivers also claim (incorrectly), "State law is clear that it does not allow a discharge of waste to change the species composition of stream from its natural state." See Comment Binder No. 1 (8/22/2024 to 9/23/2024) pp 85, 191. And they claim that the discharge risks "an entire ecosystem, designated by the state as nursery for saltwater species and a critical habitat for fish and other aquatic life." Id. p 85; see also id. pp. 191-192 (substantively similar comments). These points about species composition and ecosystem integrity are also made in the Form 1, Form 2, and Form 4 comments and by other public comments that do not regurgitate the Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 8 of 10 form text but may have relied on Sound Rivers' inaccurate website information. See Attached Excel Spreadsheet. These purported concerns are wrong both factually and legally. This is not just Martin Marietta's perspective. It is what multiple judges have concluded. The biological integrity argument was made over and over for a decade before the agency and the judiciary. Sound Rivers lost it. North Carolina administrative regulations do "not require the biological integrity of an aquatic ecosystem to remain exactly or even substantially the same as it had once been, for example, prior to discharge." Sound Rivers, 271 N.C. App. at 709. The Court of Appeals agreed "with Martin Marietta's and DEQ's interpretation of the law in that protection [of water quality] does not require that Blounts Creek remain entirely the same." Id. at 734. When DWR evaluated Martin Marietta's initial permit, it fully enforced the biological integrity standard—and that evaluation was upheld by the ALJ, the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of North Carolina: "The ALJ properly held that the Division complied with its interpretation of the biological integrity standard given the Division's expertise with respect to the facts and its conduct in its review of Martin Marietta's permit application." Sound Rivers, Inc. v. N.C. Dept of Envtl. Quality, 385 N.C. 1, 8 (2023). The fact sheet provided by DWR states the actual realities of the renewal permit. "No chemicals will be used in the processing of the crushed stone or added to the discharge." See Fact Sheet, NPDES Permit No. NC0089168, p 2 of 12. No waste— as that term is understood by the general public—is being discharged,just"comingled groundwater and stormwater." Id. "The discharge consists solely of mine dewatering groundwater and stormwater, with no chemicals added." Id. p. 5 of 12. With respect to fish and spawning concerns, the discharge "outfalls are not located in a primary nursery area." Id. p. 3 of 12. Moreover, the CAMA coastal consistency determination for the Vanceboro Quarry includes a requirement that Martin Marietta coordinate with the Division of Coastal Management to, inter alia, "develop fisheries monitoring that will assess impacts of the proposed project on fish species and habitat in the Blounts Creek system. . . ."ALJ Order, ¶ 156. The implicit suggestion that ecosystem health has not been fully considered and reasonably addressed is demonstrably false. See, e.g., Sound Rivers, 271 N.C. App. at 713 ("The whole record supports the ALJ's findings that DEQ evaluated species composition, diversity, population density, and functional organization in accord with its established procedures and expertise."). Comment Letter November 18, 2024 Page 9 of 10 (5) Other concerns raised by commenters lack a factual basis or relate to other permits previously issued to Martin Marietta. In addition to the renewal permit at issue here, Martin Marietta holds a Clean Water Act 401 water quality certification issued by DEQ; a Clean Water Act 404 permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers; a capacity use permit issued by DEQ; an air quality permit issued by DEQ; and a CAMA coastal consistency determination issued by the Division of Coastal Management. Those permits impose additional requirements on Martin Marietta's mining activities that extend beyond the concerns properly addressed by DWR for the renewal NPDES permit. Related to these other permits, there are a handful of comments made to DWR in this NPDES permitting process that raise concerns about the possibility that Martin Marietta's dewatering activities will impact wells in the surrounding area. The capacity use permit CU3148 issued November 15, 2013—and the associated Water Supply Response Plan revised October 28, 2013—specifically address Martin Marietta's responsibility to address any impacted water supply wells. See, e.g. Mining Permit File, 07-57, available at https:Hedocs.deg.nc.gov/EnergyMineralLandResources/DocView.aspx?id=3194&dbid =0&repo=EnergvMineralLandResources. Accordingly, this NDPES permit renewal process is not the appropriate forum to raise such concerns which, in any event, have been fully resolved by other permits. In conclusion, the issues raised in the public comments have all been made before, have occupied thousands of hours of DWR, OAH, and judicial time, and have all been lost by these aligned groups before. None of these arguments allows DWR to decline to renew the permit, much less provides any reason to do so. The decision by Sound Rivers to make demonstrably false and misleading statements undoubtedly serves its fundraising efforts, but it disregards a decade in which Sound Rivers and its allies lost multiple administrative and judicial decisions, all of which now bind them. It is regrettable that an organization ostensibly committed to the environment would use its position to peddle alarming claims already rejected multiple times, but that is precisely what it is doing here. We would like to thank you and all of the staff at DWR who have conscientiously and tirelessly worked on Martin Marietta's renewal permit to ensure that it satisfies all applicable requirements, protecting our State's waterways while also recognizing that important economic activities must continue to occur to ensure a robust future for North Carolina.

Act or"the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform,the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day.However, for purposes of this permit,any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March,April through June,July through September,and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method(specific number and size of aliquots necessary,the time interval between grab samples, etc.)on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection,or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point.Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer,and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or Version 1110912011.2 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval.Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass,the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement,the "daily discharge"is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample,"above.) Daily Maximum The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s),that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N=the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean,values of"0"(or"< [detection level]")shall be considered= 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge(or the receiving stream,for instream samples). Version 1110912011.2 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical,instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all"daily discharges"of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators,the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property,damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1)of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error,improperly designed treatment facilities,inadequate treatment facilities,lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation.

[I 5A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which,alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation,including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation,of the Permittee's(or any satellite POTW's,if different from the Permittee)NPDES,collection system,or non-discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works(POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA,which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage,treatment,recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402,only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization,or municipality,as defined in section 502(4)of the CWA,which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context,the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a"satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H.0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or"SILT" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that[I 5A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)]: 1.
