COC No. NCG060395
Mecklenburg County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on May 23, 2019, we are forwarding
herewith the subject certificate of coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject state — NPDES general
permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection
Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
Please be aware that Catawba River (segment index number 11-(122)) is an impaired water. This
stream is impaired because both Mercury and PCB have exceeded criteria in fish tissue. There are also
multiple Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that affect this watershed. Information about these
TMDLs can be found on Division of Water Resources' website: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-
resources/planning/modeling-assessment/tmdls. In Part I, Section A, the General Permit explains that for
discharges to watersheds affected by a TMDL, coverage under this permit may depend on the facility
demonstrating that discharges have no reasonable potential to violate applicable water quality standards
for specified pollutants.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except upon approval of the Division
of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (Division). The Division may require modification or revocation
and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
Division of Water Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local
government permit that may be required.
Furthermore, on May 23, 2019, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your
request to rescind your coverage under NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG080000, in order to obtain
coverage under a NCG060000. In accordance with your request, General Permit NCG080962 is rescinded
effective immediately.
Per the requirements of the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule, all stormwater drainage to stream buffers,
from portions of this site that have been constructed after June 30, 2001, must meet diffuse flow
requirements per 15A NCAC 2B .0243(5).
