Dear Mr. Hardee:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
November 26, 2019
Subject: General Permit No. NCG200000
Hardee Recycling Center
COC No. NCG200524
Beaufort County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on June 7, 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 Broad Creek (segment index number 29-10-(3)) is an impaired water. This stream
is impaired because both Mercury in fish tissue and Copper have exceeded concentration. 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://deq.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 be aware that a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) is required to be developed and
implemented no later than twelve months after the issuance of this COC.
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.
