The Town of Maysville (PO Box 265, Maysville, NC 28555) has requested Special Order by Consent EMC SOC WQ S22-002 for its Maysville WWTP, a 0.18 MGD WWTP that discharges treated wastewater to White Oak River in the White Oak River Basin under the authority of NPDES Permit NC0021482 but is unable to consistently comply with permit conditions and effluent limits for flow, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Residual Chlorine, and Dissolved Oxygen.
The Environmental Management Commission proposes to issue the Order per Article 21 of Chapter 143, N.C. General Statutes, and other regulations effective January 1, 2023.

The Town shall comply with NPDES permit limits with the exception of the interim effluent limits identified in the Order. This Order will expire on May 1, 2027.
