Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under general permit NCG220000, the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater general permit. 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 May 9, 1994, or as subsequently amended.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of General Stormwater Permit NCG220000
• A copy of the Analytical Monitoring Form
• A copy of the Qualitative Monitoring Form
The only differences between this reissued version of the General Permit and the original version are the Analytical
Monitoring Requirements (See Part II, Section B). Sampling parameters of pH and Oil and Grease have been dropped
immediately and the frequency for analytical monitoring has been changed from quarterly to annually once 12 quarters
have been sampled. (See Table 1, footnote 1 on Measurement Frequency).
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 or need further information, please contact me at 733-5083 ext 548.

Dear Permittee:
The above referenced facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit
NCG220000. This permit expires on November 30, 2003. The Division staff is currently in the process of
renewing this permit and is scheduled to have the permit reissued by fall of 2003. Once the permit is
reissued, the above referenced facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued
permit. If you wish for the above referenced facility to be covered under the reissued permit, you must
apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of permit coverage. Enclosed you will find a
Permit Coverage Renewal Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by
June 3, 2003.
Failure to apply for coverage under the reissued NCG220000 may result in a civil assessment of at least
$250.00 and/or a lapse in permit coverage for the above referenced facility. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from the above
referenced 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 recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of
industrial facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial
activity," (except construction activities). If you feel the above referenced 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 & General Permits Unit Web Site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.html.
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the
enclosed Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed 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 Robert Tankard of the
Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919)
733-5083, ext. 548.

Re: Your Notice of Intent Seeking Coverage under NPDES
General Stormwater Permit NCG220000
Greene County
The Division of Water Quality has received your December 2000 letter enclosing a Notice of Intent with
respect to the NCG220000 stormwater general permit. You appear to misunderstand the Division's letter of
November 22, 2000 as well as your obligations under State and federal law.
The NCG04 permit expired. The Division has been advised by the Attorney General's Office that the
NCG04 permit expired by its terms on August 31, 1997 and that DWQ's letter purporting to.extend the permit
past its expiration date was not authorized by law. Your attorneys have been aware of this for quite some time.
The Division issued the NCG220000 general permit to provide a general permit option for the chip mills
previously covered under the NCG04 permit when it expired. The Division's letter of November 22, 2000
directs you to submit a new Notice of Intent, as is required under 15A NCAC 2H .0127(e). The letter does not
direct you to submit an application for an individual NPDES permit, although it does allow you to choose that
permitting option.
State and federal law require a NPDES stormwater permit for the point source discharge of stormwater
from wood chip mills. You have only two permitting options: you may seek coverage under the NCG220000
general permit or you may apply for an individual NPDES permit. At the current time, you have not clearly
expressed an intent to apply for coverage under the NCG220000. The cover letter you submitted with your
N01 on December 20, 2000 specifically requests that DWQ not issue a certificate of coverage to your facility.
If you are currently discharging stormwater associated with your industrial activity as a wood chip mill,
you are subject to the requirements of the Clean Water Act, including potential citizens' suits. If you wish to be
covered under the NCG220000, you must within 30 days from receipt of this letter submit a letter
unambiguously requesting that the Division issue coverage to your facility based upon the Notice of Intent you

submitted in December, 2000. If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in
the general permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an
individual permit application. If you choose not to request coverage under the general permit, you have an
additional 30 days to submit an application for an individual NPDES permit. Sixty days following your receipt of
this letter, DWQ will take action to enforce the requirements of State law.
We look forward to receiving your permit application.
