Subject: RE: NCG170358 Pharr Yarns Transfer
Good morning, Todd,
I've looked back at the regulations to try and answer your question better. The NPDES federal regulations actually
provide for "automatic transfer" (Transfer Option (b)) if you provide notice 30 days ahead of the transfer with a written
agreement containing the following information. If you provide this to us, and then fill out the Name/Ownership
transfer on-line form with the final documentation once the sale is completed so DEQ can process a transfer of the COC
by modification (Transfer Option (a)), you will cover all your bases during the transition period. I don't think it's
absolutely necessary given our process, but we will be happy to include the advance notification with the agreement in
the permit file (housed in our public repository) if that serves extra assurance.
§ 122.61 Transfer of permits (applicable to State programs, see § 123.25).
(a) Transfers by modificarion. Except as provided In paragraph [b of t€tiS section, a Er9,rrniI may be transferred by th
+.r. jp-� 1:0t<s1. only if the P.el01ir. has been modified or revoked and reissued (under § 122.62(b)(2)), or a minor mod €ficatic
to Identify the new permlttee and Incorporate such other requirements as may be necessary under UVA.
(b)Auromatic transfers. A5 an alternative to transfers under paragraph (a� of thls section, any JUPD.ES VLEO ik may be
a new perirnittee it:
(1) The current perm Rtee notifies the 17jr �Agr at least 30 days In advance of the proposed ULii fgr date In oafaaraal�
(2) The notice Includes a written agreement between the perr'nittees it ir.U( a specific date for t[
responsibility, coverage, and liability between them; and
(3) The Directoi does not notify the existing permlttee and the proposed new permittee of his or her Intent to modify
LV r)aij. A modification under this subparagraph may also be a minor modification under § 122.43. If this notice Is not
effective on the date specifted In the agreement mentioned In paragraph fbM of this section.

Bethany and Suzanne,
It is Coats aim to ensure a seamless permit transition from Pharr to Coats and to remain in compliance at the closure of
the sale, which is expected to happen in early January 2020. Coats will continue operation from day 1 without
interruption. Is there a grace period, or period of time that we will be able to have to run while transferring the
stormwater permit?
Will a signed copy of a permit transfer agreement as attached suffice as evidence of the sale?
Please feel free to contact me to discuss further if needed.
Sincerely,
Todd Wegenast

Good morning, Todd,
Thank you for your voicemail. You will need to wait until the purchase is finalized so that you can submit the
documentation with the owner change request for this. The agreement to purchase before completion will not be
adequate. I have copied Suzanne McCoy in our group, who will process this request when it comes in, to verify that.
Best regards,

Ms. Georgoulias,
I left you a voice mail earlier regarding the Pharr Yarns stormwater permit COC # NCG170358. The facility is located in
McAdenville, NC. Coats American is in the process of purchasing the facility located at 300 Dickson Road and I am
inquiring on the process to change the ownership on the permit to Coats.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss.
Sincerely,
Todd Wegenast
