Individual Stormwater Permit

Dear Mr. Houser:
The Division of Water Quality's Stormwater Permitting Unit (SPU) acknowledges receipt of
your renewal application for coverage under NPDES Permit Number NCS000349 on September 14,
2006. We apologize for the lengthy delay in responding to your submittal and are now making every
effort to review your permit renewal as expeditiously as possible. Our Unit anticipates making
significant progress on individual permits over the next six months to reduce our backlog.
We are currently beginning our review of your renewal application. Please continue to comply
with all conditions and monitoring requirements in your expired NPDES stormwater permit. As
long as you have submitted a complete renewal request package and maintain compliance with those
permit conditions, stormwater discharges from this facility are authorized by that permit until the
Division issues a renewal permit or notifies you of an alternative action.
No additional information is required at this time, but we may contact you in the future. Please
notify us if any significant changes have taken place at this facility since you submitted the renewal
package. If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at(919) 807-6365.
Sincerely,
Cor
Environmental Engineer
