Dear Mr. Leonard:
In accordance with your application for discharge, the Division is forwarding herewith the subject
Certificate of Coverage (CoC) to discharge under the subject state-NPDES general permit. This permit is issued

unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit
application. Unless such demand is made, the certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
This CoC is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division may require modification
