WATER Q10ALITY SECTION
Reference is made to your April 10. 2001 request for rescission of the subject NPDES General
Pernut, In your letter you state that the subject quarry was never developed. In accordance with your
request, NPDES General Permit NCG020054 is rescinded, effective immediately.
Please he advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon your statement that the
activities which would require general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated.
Division staff has not visited the site to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility,
discharging wastewater or discharging stormwater to waters of the State without a valid NPDES permit
will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement action will he
certain for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If. in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should
notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to discharge to the State's surface
waters. you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
- Please accept our apologies for the mishandling of your February 28. 2000 letter that made the
same rescission request.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Bob Sledge at [phone], extension
547 or the Water Quality staff in our Mooresville Regional Office at [phone],
