Dear Mr. Laws:
Division of Water Resources' records indicate that Permit No. WQ0024023, which was issued
October 12, 2015, expires December 31, 2019. To date, the Division has not received a renewal application.
Pursuant to administrative code 15A NCAC 02T .0109, permit renewal requests shall be submitted at least
180 days prior to permit expiration.
The Permittee is responsible for renewing and maintaining this permit. If the non -discharge system
is to be constructed and/or operated, then a renewal application shall be submitted. For the most recent
permit renewal application, please email Non-Discharge.Reports(a�.ncdenr.gov, and the form will be
provided.
Once the application is received, Wilmington Regional Office staff will conduct a site visit and
inspect the non -discharge system. Upon completion of the site visit and review of the application, a
renewed non -discharge permit will be issued for a length of up to eight years.
Please complete and submit the renewal application within 30 days of receiving this
notification. Failure to provide these forms prior to the permit expiration date shall result in a Notice
of Violation for operating the subject facilities without a valid permit, which is a violation of G.S.
143-215.1, and may subject the Permittee to appropriate enforcement actions pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A-6C. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to secure
