Dear Richard Buchanan:
On June 13, 2023,the Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind
your coverage under NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG210000. In accordance with your request and a site
visit from the Asheville Regional Office, Certificate of Coverage NCG210103 is rescinded effective
immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater,or discharging specific types of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and
could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or
wastewater discharge permit coverage,you should notify this office immediately. We would be happy to
assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold,you would be performing a public service if you inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.If you have questions
about this matter,please contact Brittany Cook at(919) 707-3648, or the Stormwater staff in our
Asheville Regional Office at(828)296-4500.
Sincerely,
for Brittany
