Pfleger 310 Sampson Street Wilmington, NC 28401 Dear Mr. Pfleger: John E. Skvarla, III Secretary September 9, 2014 Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Pen -nit Certificate of Coverage Number NCGO80780 Wilmington Location New Hanover County On August 1, 2014 the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCGO80780. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCGO80780 is rescinded effective immediately.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 will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage. If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage. If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater staff in our Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7215.

I consider the following in arriving at this decision: This action began as a request to transfer coverage under an existing NCG08, with original permittee being Waste Industries. We learned that Waste Industries is no longer on the site; and that the new tenant, Cape Fear Paving, is not eligible for coverage under an NPDES stormwater permit based on the current use of the premises as a contractor's main office and yard. We returned the Name/Ownership transfer request unprocessed after telephone discussions with Cape Fear Paving, and email notification of Waste Industries. I have copied Dan Sams of WIRO on several pieces of email correspondence without comment from his office. I think it very unlikely that it's worth their time to go out to this site to see if there are any reasons we might keep Waste Industries covered under their current COC while Cape Fear Paving is in control of the site. In my judgment it's certainly quicker, and therefore better to move ahead without further WIRO manpower involvement. So, please go ahead and rescind the permit based on the rescission request in hand and the email correspondence record below. (Please print and include this email string in our file for NCG080780-.

We are returnini, unprocessed your request to transfer coverage under our stormwater permit Certificate of Coverage NCG080780. As per your description of the commercial activities at 310 Sampson Street in Wilmington, and as I suspected, your facility is not a regulated industrial activity under the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Program rules. Typically a contractor's home office and yard are not regulated activities under the federal NPDES rules. I have copied Mr. John Pfleger of Waste Industries to alert him to our action on your joint request to transfer coverage. Since we are denying the request to transfer coverage, Waste Industries remains the permittee of record. We will of course entertain a separate request from Waste Industries to rescind their permit for this site, since there is no longer any industrial activity that would be regulated for stormwater discharges under NPDES rules. Unfortunately, our internal procedures will not allow me to move ahead on the obvious path without Waste Industries specific separate request to rescind the permit. Our permit rescission request form may be down loaded from this website location: http-.//por-tal.ncdenr.org/web/­Ir/`npdes-stormwater Gentlemen, please contact me if you have any questions or if I can help speed along a request to rescind the permit for Waste Industries.

I'm not sure you need coverage under our stormwater General Permit for the operation of a general contractor's office and yard. And i think we should speak voice -to -voice to clarify this for me. We are in receipt of your request to transfer coverage under our stormwater permit from Waste Industries LLC to Cape Fear Paving LLC, signed by you and John Pfleger on November 20, 2013. Assuming that you sent it to us sometime around the signature date, I'm not sure why we have delayed responding until now. My apologies for the delay. The application has been processed by our staff and has come to me for signature. I note that it appears that your business activity Is different in character from the Waste Industries operation that preceded you on the site. our permits are based on matching certain categories of Industrial activity with certain General Permits In order to control the potential for stormwater pollution associated with the particular Industrial activity at those sites. (NCG080000 matches up with the prior Waste Industries activity at your site.) A Peneral contr ctor's office and yard are not usually captured by the federal regulations that underlie our program. It's not clear to me that you need coverage under our permit. Considering activities that might be related to your operations, coverage under a stormwater permit would be required if: • You were operating an asphalt plant at the site. If you are, coverage under NCG16-Asphalt is appropriate, not a transfer of NCG08. • You were operating either a fixed or portable ready -mix concrete plant at the site. If you are, coverage under NCG14-Ready-Mix Concrete is appropriate, not NCG08. • The site was home base for a fleet of vehicles, and you were regularly performing vehicle maintenance at the site. If you are, NCG08 is the appropriate General Permit for stormwater discharges, and we could make the transfer from Waste Industries to Cape Fear Paving. Some types of vehicles would qualify you for this permit, and some other types would not. "Vehicle maintenance" is defined in federal rule to include washing vehicles and fueling vehicles, as well as what you might normally think of as vehicle maintenance. • You were engaged in an activity similar to the Waste Industries activity that preceded you. Again, in that case NCG08 would be appropriate. In one way this bullet is a slightly different res-statement of the bullet immediately above. • You were engaged in some sort of manufacturing at the site. In that case we have 20 General Permits specific for the Industrial manufacturing sector that you are engaged In. Initially the "Paving" in your company name caught my eye. Then the description of the permitted activities ih your lease with Waste Industries served as corroborating Information, It seemed to me. I will hold this request for permit coverage for a few more days, but then I intend to return it without granting the permit transfer. Please contact me to discuss. I'll be out of the office this Thursday (tomorrow) through next Monday. Unless I hear from you, I will return the application on next Wednesday. FYI, if we deny your transfer request then Waste Industries remains our permittee, and it could be construed that they are still obligated to comply with the permit until they request, and we grant, rescission of the Certificate of Coverage under our permit. I realize that this aspect may not directly concern you. Ken Ken Pickle Environmental Engineer NCDENR f DEMLR { Stormwater Permitting Program 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 512 N.

We are returning unprocessed your request to transfer, coverage under our stormwater permit Certificate of Coverage NCG080780. As per your description of the commercial activities at 310 Sampson Street in Wilmington, and as I suspected, your facility is not a regulated industrial activity under the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Program rules. Typically a contractor's home office and yard are not regulated activities under the federal NPDES rules. I have copied Mr. John Pfleger of Waste Industries to alert him to our action on your joint request to transfer coverage. Since we are denying the request to transfer coverage, Waste7ndustries remains'the permittee of record. We will of course entertain a separate request from Waste Industries t6 rescind their permit for this site, since there is no longer any industrial activity that would be regulated for stormwgter discharges under NPDES rules. Unfortunately, our internal procedures will not allow me to move ahead on the obvious path without Waste Industries specific separate request'to rescind the permit. Our permit rescission request form may be down loaded from thi5'website location: http:/Zoortal.ncdenr.org/webllr/nodes-stormwater Gentlemen, please contact me if you have any questions or if I can help speed along a request to rescind the permit for Waste Industries.

I'm not sure you need coverage under our stormwater,General Permit for.,the operation of a general contractor's office and yard. And 1 think we should speak voice=to-voice to clarify this for me;. We are in receipt of your request to transfer coverage under our stormwater permit from Waste Industries LLC to Cape Fear Paving LLC, signed by you and John Pfleger on November 20, 2013. Assuming that you sent It to us sometime around the signature date, I'm not sure why we have delayed responding until now. My apologies for the delay. The applicationhasbeen processed by our staff and has come to me for signature. I note that it appears that your busyness activity is different in`chaeacter from the Waste Industries operation that preceded you on the site, Our permits are based onmatching certain categories of industrial activity with certain General Permits in order to control the potential for'stormwaterlpFollution associated with,the particular industrial activity at those sites. (NCG080000 matches up with the prior Waste Industries actMty at your site.) generalr i� 6 r' iand viird r uWally caoi6redbye r I la i .

Considering activities that might be related to your operations, coverage undera stormwater,permit would be required if: • You were operating an asphalt plant at the site. If you are, coverage under NCG16-Asphalt is appropriate, not a l � transfer of'NCG08, • You were operating either a fixed or portable ready -mix concrete plant at the site. if you are,.coverage under NCG14-Ready-Mix Concrete is appropriate, not NCG08. • The,site:was,home base for a fleet of vehicles, AEld you were regularly performing vehicle maintenance at the site. If you are, NCG08 is the appropriate General Permit for stormwater discharges, and we could make the transfer from Waste Industries to Cape Fear Paving. Some types of vehicles would qualify you for this permit, and some other types would not. "Vehicle maintenance" Is defined in federal rule to include washing vehicles and fueling vehicles, as well as what you might normally think of as vehicle maintenance. • You were engaged in an activity similar to the Waste Industries activity that preceded you. Again, in that case NCG08 would be appropriate. In one way this bullet is a slightly different res-statement of the bullet immediately above. You were engaged in some sort of manufacturing at the site. In that case we -have 20 General Permits specific for the industrial manufacturing sector that you are engaged in. Initially the "Paving" in your company name caught my eye. Then the description of the permitted activities in your lease with Waste Industries served as corroborating information, it seemed to me. I will,hold th.is,request for permit coverage _for..a few more days, but,then I intend to return it without granting the permit transfer. Please contact me -to discuss. I'll be out,of the office this Thursday (tomorrow) through next Monday. Unless I hear from you, I will return the application on next Wednesday. FYI, if we deny your transfer request then Waste Industries remains our permittee, and it could be construed that they are still obligated to comply with the permit until they request, and we grant,.rescisslon of.the Certificate of Coverage under our permit. I realize that this aspect may not directly concern you. Ken Xen Pickle Environmental Engineer NCDENR I DEMLR I Stormwater Permitting Program 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 512 N.

We are returning unprocessed your request to transfer coverage under our stormwater permit Certificate of Coverage NCG080780. As per your description of the commercial activities at 310 Sampson Street in Wilmington, and as I suspected, your facility is not a regulated industrial activity under the NPDES Stormwater Permitting Program rules. Typically a contractor's home office and yard are not regulated activities under the federal NPDES rules. I have copied Mr. John Pfleger of Waste Industries to alert him to our action on your joint request to transfer coverage. Since we are denying the request to transfer coverage, Waste Industries remains the permittee of record. We will of course entertain a separate request from Waste Industries to rescind their permit for this site, since there is no longer any industrial activity that Would be regulated for stormwater discharges under NPDES rules. Unfortunately, our internal procedures will not allow me to move ahead on the obvious path without Waste Industries specific separate request to rescind the permit. Our permit rescission request form may be down loaded from this website location: http://portal.ncdenr.org/webliLnpdes-stormwater Gentlemen, please contact me if you have any questions or if I can help speed along a request to rescind the permit for Waste Industries.

I'm not sure you need coverage under our stormwater General Permit for the operation of a general contractor's office and yard. And l think we should speak voice -to -voice to clarify this for me. We are in receipt of your request to transfer coverage under our stormwater permit from Waste Industries LLC to Cape Fear Paving LLC, signed by you and John Pfleger on November 20, 2013. Assuming that you sent it to us sometime around the signature date, I'm not sure why we have delayed responding until now. My apologies for the delay. The application has been processed by our staff and has come to me for signature. I note that it appears that your business activity is different in character from the Waste Industries operation that preceded you on the site. Our permits are based on matching certain categories of industrial activity with certain General Permits in order to control the potential for stormwater pollution associated with the particular industrial activity at those sites. (NCG080000 matches up with the prior Waste Industries activity at your site.) general cgnjLaor's office and yarg.gLe not.y.5yally. gaptured by tbe federal regulations that Linderlie our program. It's not clear to me that you need coverage under our permit. Considering activities that might be related to your operations, coverage tinder a stormwater permit would be required if; • You were operating an asphalt plant at the site. If you are, coverage under NCG15-Asphalt is appropriate, not a transfer of NCG08. • You were operating either a fixed or portable ready -mix concrete plant at the site. If you are, coverage under NCG14-Ready-Mix Concrete is appropriate, not NCG08. • The site was home base for a fleet of vehicles, anj you were regularly performing vehicle maintenance at the site. If you are, NCGO8 is the appropriate General Permit for stormwater discharges, and we could make the transfer from Waste Industries to Cape Fear Paving. Some types of vehicles would qualify you for this permit, and some other types would not. "Vehicle maintenance" is defined in federal rule to include washing vehicles and fueling vehicles, as well as what you might normally think of as vehicle maintenance. • You were engaged in an activity similar to the Waste Industries activity that preceded you. Again, in that case NCG08 would be appropriate. in one way this bullet is a slightly different res-statement of the bullet immediately above. • You were engaged in some sort of manufacturing at the site. In that case we have 20 General Permits specific for the industrial manufacturing sector that you are engaged in. Initially the "Paving" in your company name caught my eye. Then the description of the permitted activities in your lease with Waste Industries served as corroborating information, it seemed to me. I will hold this request for permit covorage for a few more days, but then I intend to return it without granting the permit transfer. Please contact me to discuss. I'll be out of the office this Thursday (tomorrow) through next Monday. Unless I hear from you, I will return the application on next Wednesday. FYI, if we deny your transfer request then Waste Industries remains our permittee, and it could be construed that they are still obligated to comply with the permit until they request, and we grant, rescission of the Certificate of Coverage under our permit. I realize that this aspect may not directly concern you. Ken Ken Pickle Environmental Engineer NCDENR I DEMLR € Stormwater Permitting Program 1612 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 512 N.
