Dear Mr. Loney:
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
December 4, 2019
Subject: General Permit No. NCG210000
Benson Facility
COC No. NCG0210474
Johnston County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on June 13, 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 Mingo Swamp (segment index number 18-68-12-2) is an impaired water. This
stream is impaired because mercury found in fish tissue has exceeded criteria. 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 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.
