ELIZABETH CITY NC 27909 DWQ-WARD
Subject: Rescission of NPDES General Permit
Permit Number NCG020024
Earl L Saunders Excavating
Pasquotank County
Dear Ms. Saunders:
Reference is made to your recent request for rescission of the subject NPDES General Permit. In your
letter dated April 2, 2004, you stated the facility is no longer in operation. In accordance with your
request, NPDES General Permit NCG020024 is rescinded, effective immediately.
Please be advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon your statement that the activities which
would require general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated. Division staff has not
visited the site to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater
or discharging specific: types of slormwater to waters of the State without a valid NPDES permit will
subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement action will be
certain for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact. continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should notify
this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface
waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage,
if you have questions about this matter, please contact Karen Rust at [phone], extension 361 or
the Water Quality staff in our Washington Regional Office at [phone],
