Reference is made to your oral rescission request received July 26, 2016 for the subject reclaimed

longer required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, Permit No. WQ0019471 is rescinded, effective
immediately.
If in the future you wish again 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

§143-215.6A-6C. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to
secure a permit required by North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.1.
