Subject: Rescission of NPDES General Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020347
Sutton - Sutton -Pit #2
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On 12/28/2009, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG020347. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG020347 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwatcr to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will
occur 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 again discharge to the StatCs
surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES pen -nit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone], or the Water
Quality staff in our Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481,
Sincerely,
for Coleen 1-1. Sullins, Director

Sarah,
Both of these mines (Sutton -Pit #2 and Sutton -Pit #4) are reclaimed and mining permits closed back in 2009. Both of
them are turned into the subdivision ponds. We here in Washington Regional office believe that these permits can be
rescinded.
I hope this information is sufficient for you. If not please let me know.

Dear Mr. Sutton:
We received your application for permit coverage under General PermitNCG020000 on April
26, 1999. This letter is to inform you that legislative changes effective January 1, 1999 resulted in a
change to the fee structure for all of the Division of Water Quality's permits. In the case of NPDES
general permits the application fee of $400.00 has been replaced with an annual fee of $80.00. New
applications must submit $80.00 fee along with their application package.
Your application package was submitted with the previous application fee attached. In order for
us to handle this change with a minimal amount of confusion, we are returning your application package,
including the $400.00 fee, and asking you to resubmit the full package along with a new check for
$80.00. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope you can understand our desire to keep all permit
application packages together without having the process of trying to match up forms and checks that
might come in at separate times.
If you have any questions please contact Vanessa Wiggins at [phone] ext. 520 or the
Washington Regional Office at [phone].
