Water Use Approval
[NAME] | City of Lumberton | [NAME] Ivy | [PHONE] | This was recently renegotiated by Cogentrix.  We will need to notify name/ownership change and perhaps amend contract with water supply authority.  [NAME] Ivy reports that this is an agreement with Robeson County.  Please contact [NAME].
 | Robeson County | [NAME] | [PHONE] | Cogentrix extended their water agreement with the county through December 2001.  The rate is in the range of $0.96 per 1000 gallons--they would not specifically tell me.  They have plenty of capacity (up to at least 1.6 MGD).  We can continue to operate under the Cogentrix agreement after we become the new owners; however, we should begin discussions with the county as soon as possible.  If we have a higher guaranteed take, we can likely get a lower price.  They will not turn off the water if we do not have a new contract at closing time.
Elizabethtown | City of Lumberton | [NAME] | [PHONE] | Water for this plant comes from Alamac.  They have on-site groundwater wells.  A change in ownership of the power plant would not generate any name/ownership change notifications.  There is a separate city water meter for potable water that will need to be transferred.
Sedimentation and Control Plan | NCDENR |  |  | If any construction is on-going, the Sedimentation and Control Plan is filed with the NCDENR.  We need to know if there is anything active, construction-wise.  If not, these plans are not an issue.

Federal Aviation Administration
 | FAA Wash DC | [NAME] | [PHONE] | FAA does not permit, they study and make recommendations.   FAA must be notified under certain curcumstances (40CFR Part 77).  Notice criteria (>200 feet) and location Obstruction criteria (>500 feet) and location.  [NAME] criteria is based on a location test.  FAA will do a aeronautical study and make marking/lighting recomendations.  FAA does not enforce these recommendations.  They rely on other permitting agencies and insurance companies to get the marking and lighting recommendations incorporated into the design and construction.  If you contemplate putting on an antenna/transmitter of some type, FCC is the regulating agency.  They look to get FAA study/guidance/recommendations.  FCC will incorporate those recommendations into their permit requirements.  FAA is interested in antennas/transmitters for two reasons:  1) height and 2) radio frequency interference.  We need to know if the plants have antennae/transmitters on the stacks.
 | FAA Atlanta | [NAME] | [PHONE] | We need the lat/long of each facility for the FAA to find if  aeronautical studies were completed.  She suggested we evaluate the stacks with respect to the FAA notification criteria to determine if they are in compliance.  They may have needed aeronautical studies completed and did not get them.  This is common.  This is a compliance issue--not an ownership change notification issue.

Elizabethtown Airport | Airport Board | [NAME] | [PHONE] | The [NAME] stack is in line with the runway.  Theyare meeting on this issue Monday night to see if they need to do anything about marking, lighting, etc.  There is also a new 200 foot tall cell tower 500 feet south of the [NAME] stack.  The cell tower is the reason for the board meeting.  It is unlikely the stack will be effected.

It is a courtesy to notify the Boiler Inspection Division when an ownership change occurs.  Lumberton and Elizabethtown have 10 certificates each indicating 10 regulated pressure vessels at each plant.  Maintenance of the inspections is critical.  If the certificate is out of date by 30 days, the vessel can be taken out of service by the Department of Labor.  There is no notification fee and no penalty for not notifying.  A complete schedule for each facility has been requested.

Oil Water Seperator
[NAME]
 | NCDENR - Div. of Waste Management | [NAME] | [PHONE] | As a UST, an oil/water seperator is exempt by definition (see regs) as long as we can call it a wastewater treatment tank.  As such, there are no notification requirements for ownership change.

Worst case is discharge to stormwater sewer unpermitted.  If this is the case, it must be fixed ASAP--the NCDENR will issue a cease and desist notice--reroute to sanitary with city approval.  We need to find out if the NPDES permit lists the oil/water seperator.  ENSR indicates that the effluent goes to the stormwater sewer.
