The permit renewal incorporates the County's plans to construct an additional 210 Wastewater Treatment Facility to accommodate for future flows. The permit modification incorporates a transfer of nitrogen allocation to the Central Johnston County Regional WWTP, and reduction of NC0001881 Phillips Plating Company's total nitrogen load limit. Currently BOD, ammonia, fecal coliform, dissolved oxygen, pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total residual chlorine are water quality limited parameters. This discharge may affect future allocations in this segment of the Neuse River. (A Public Notice ad will run in The News & Observer on 3/1/21)
