Dear Mr. Preston:

This letter is to confirm two changes in the requirements of the subject permit that you and Mr. Edmund Aldridge agreed to during your phone conversation of October 11, 1978, with Mr. W. E. Moore of SCE&G, and Mr. Michael Hess and Mr. Chuck Timmarman of Dames and Moore.

The changes are as follows:

1. The due date of the first progress report (currently November 1978).

is now January 1979. Subsequent six month progress report.s will be due during the month of July and January of each year.

2. The units for reporting both phytoplankton and zooplankton is now units or organisms per liter instead of expressing phytoplankton as units per milliliter and zooplankton as Q organisms per cubic meter of water.

Until we are further advised by your offica_, we will interpret this letter to serve as the formal change of the subject NPDES Permit.

Very truly yours,
