Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under general permit NCG200000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater general permit. Due to resource constraints,
the Division has been unable to adequately consider appropriate modifications to the permit. Therefore, the permit
has been reissued without changes from the previous permit, so all conditions remain the same. The permit term for
the reissued permit is two years, expiring on September 30, 2008. The general permit may be modified and reissued
prior to its expiration. The permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, dated December 6, 1983.
The following information is included with your permit package:
A new Certificate of Coverage
A copy of General Stormwater Permit NCG200000
Your coverage under this general permit is not transferable except after notice to DWQ. 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 DENR or relieve the permittee from responsibility for
compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.
If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact Cape Fear of the Central Office Stormwater
Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. Aisha Lau.

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG200000. This permit expires on
October 31, 2005. The Division staff is currently in the process of renewing this permit. When a draft version is
available for notice and public comment, it will be posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/. Once
the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, enclosed you will find a
Permit Coverage Renewal Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by August 19, 2005 in
order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. Letters confirming our receipt of the completed
application will not be sent.
Failure to request renewal within the time period specified may 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. .
Please note that "no exposure exclusion" is now available to all operators of industrial facilities in any of the
categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except construction activities). If you feel
your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facility industrial materials and operations are not
exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional information contact the Central
Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater Permitting Unit Web Site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/.
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions can be found on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when
the rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Aisha Lau of the Central Office
Stormwater Permitting Unit at [phone], ext. 578.

Dear Permittee:
The general stormwater permit for scrap metal recycling industries, NCG200000, was issued on
November I, 2000. Since there has been a considerable time lag since your permit application was received on
July 20, 1995 this letter is being sent to ensure that the contact information that we have is correct.
Enclosed with this letter you should find a contact information update form with the information that the
Division has on your facility. Please check to see whether or not this information is correct. If any of the
information has changed from what our records show, please make the appropriate corrections in the empty
blanks to the right of the information and mail the corrected form to us by December 8, 2000. Sign and mail the
information form regardless of whether or not any changes need to be made.
Upon receipt of your information form you will be mailed a Certificate of Coverage with a new number of the
format NCG200***. If you were one of the few facilities that received coverage under the NCG030000 general
permit prior to the issuance of this permit your existing NCG030000 permit coverage will be rescinded
concurrent with the issuance of your new Certificate of Coverage.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in complying with the Federal NPDES stormwater permitting
program. If you have any questions regarding this request please contact Ms. Valery Stephens at
[phone], ext. 520.
Sincerely,
Bradley Bennett, Supervisor
