Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
East West Inc. — Swannanoa Site
Certificate of Coverage: NCGNE0522
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Henry:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind No Exposure
Certification NCGNE0522. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage NCGNE0522 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rescinded effective immediately.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 Suzanne McCoy at 919-707-3640, or the
Stormwater staff in our Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely
for S. Daniel Smith
Interim Director
