In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on August 22, 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 Hominy Swamp (segment index number 27-86-8) is an impaired water. This
stream is impaired because both fish community and benthos have been rated as fair. 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:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-
resources/plannin 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 tweleve 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.
