Return #1352
Dear Applicant:
The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) Stormwater Permitting
Program received your application for an NPDES Individual Stormwater discharge permit on
September 22, 2023. Upon review of the application, the facility does not qualify for coverage
under an NPDES stormwater permit due to the size of the storage tanks onsite. Information
provided during the permit review states there is over 5 million gallons of liquid asphalt stored
onsite in above ground tanks. Per the 2005 permitting strategy from the Compliance and
Expedited Permitting Unit for Petroleum Bulk-Storage, "North Carolina's Division of Water
Quality issues individual, point-source NPDES permits for stormwater to all vehicle-fuel and
petroleum terminals with above ground storage capacities exceeding one million gallons."
With this letter, your application is being returned to you. Please reach out to Joe Corporon,
Environmental Specialist with the Compliance and Expedited Permitting Unit, at 919-707-3617
or [e-mail] to discuss appropriate permit coverage. Please be advised that if the
State determines that discharges from this site contribute to a water quality standard violation or
are a significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the State,the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) is authorized to require an appropriate discharge permit or
eliminate the discharge.
The return of this application does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits,
which may be required by the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, or permits
required by the Division of Water Resources (DWR), Coastal Area Management Act, or any
other federal or local government permit or approval that may be required.
