Saluda NPDES Permits Up For Renewal
Mar 20, 2018
SC DHEC is in the process of reviewing three wastewater discharge permit (aka NPDES permits) renewals for the Lower Saluda River.
Here are the three wastewater plants with renewal applications being reviewed (click to see the draft permit).
While the CWS Friarsgate permit is also up for renewal, DHEC is not planning to renew this permit because Carolina Water Service is pursuing a path to eliminate the discharge via connection to a regional sewer system.
You can see a map of the discharge locations and past compliance history on our website here.
DHEC will be hosting a public meeting on April 3rd to discuss the permit renewals. The meeting will also include an update from the Midlands Rivers Coalition
on the water quality monitoring program and an update on the regional wastewater plan (aka the 208 plan). This will be informal meeting that will allow for questions and answers.
