This 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 October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.) The following information is included with your permit package: • A new Certificate of Coverage • A copy of the stormwater General Permit • A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit • Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form • Five copies of the Annual Discharge Monitoring Report Form (if applicable) • Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all changes in the reissued permit. Significant changes to the General Permit are outlined in the attached Technical Bulletin. Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. Please note that mine dewatering wastewater includes wet pit overflows caused solely by direct rainfall and groundwater seepage for this type of mining operation. Any discharge of this water (and any stormwater commingled with it) is subject to the effluent limitations in this permit. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be found in Part III, Section E of your permit. You must have an approved Operation and Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur at your facility. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. An Operation and Monitoring Plan for your facility must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office within 60 days of your receipt of this permit. Contact Linda Willis at the Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 796-7343 for more information about the approval process. This site will discharge to a receiving stream designated as High Quality Waters (HQW) and a Primary Nursery Area (PNA). As a result, a more stringent TSS limit and a more stringent volume for wastewater discharges applies. Additionally, new coastal stormwater management rules (SESSION LAW 2008-211) were implemented October 1, 2008. Due to these new rules you may be required to apply for an additional Coastal State Stormwater Permit. Please contact Kelly Johnson in the Wilmington Regional Office at 910- 796-7345 to determine if you will be required to submit an application for this additional permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it 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 the DWQ Stormwater Permitting Unit at 919-807-6300.
