Dear Mr. Sargent,
In response to a permit rescission request from Kevin Weston received on December 5, 2023, for
the subject residuals management system permit, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office have reviewed
your request and determined that the Division can rescind the subject permit. Accordingly, the Division
has rescinded Permit No. WQ0040332 effective immediately.
If in the future you want to operate the subject non -discharge system, you must first apply for and
receive a new permit. Please be advised that construction and/or operation of the subject facilities

enforcement actions pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A.9 6B., and 6C. The Division may assess civil
penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation for failure to secure a valid permit.
