⚠ Gaps in the record
- No case number printed on this instrument.
- The 30-day response deadline is relative to receipt date, not a fixed ISO date — no absolute deadline date can be determined from the document.
- Permit number '2PE00000' confirmed in both image and OCR; may warrant verification against official NPDES records as trailing zeros could indicate a placeholder or redaction.
