ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under
the federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for
implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges
was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant
sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten
categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit,
depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There
are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is
applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to
develop and implement site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans
(SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and
operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following
webpage: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage
under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are.listed to assist you and help
bring your attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your
permit. That said, please see the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit
such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply
with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are
subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain
permit coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES
stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and
Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior
to any discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process
wastewater, and/or mine dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a
Certificate of Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the
facility is covered by the General Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge
stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General
Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or
approval.

Subject: FINAL NOTICE - NPDES Stormwater Permit Renewal
Ready Mixed Concrete Co - Craven
COC Number NCG 140105
Craven County
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG 140000, This permit will
expire on July 31, 1999. North Carolina General Statute 143.215.1(c) requires that an application for permit
coverage renewal be filed in a timely manner. A prior notice of renewal was sent for this site on January 12, 1999.
To date, no response has been received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). In order to assure your
continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to DWQ for renewal of your permit coverage.
Enclosed you will find a general permit renewal application form. This form serves two purposes. First, it is an
application for renewal of your permit coverage. Second, it serves as an invoice for the $80.00 permit fee. The
application must be completed and returned with the required fee by April 5, 1999 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Recent legislation modified the fee structure for DWQ permits. Your general permit fee has been changed to an
annual fee of $80.00. A copy of the new fee schedule is enclosed in this package.
Failure to request renewal by April 5, 1999 will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties
may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without
coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Robert Tankard of the
Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or Darren England of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919)
