Rescission of NPDES Permit
Cherokee Sanford Group, LLC
Permit Number NCG020252
Moore County
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
f0 2002
It is the understanding of the Division that Cherokee Sanford Group has ceased mining operations at the
Moore County mining location. In accordance with this information, NPDES General Permit
NCG020252 is rescinded, effectively immediately.
Please be advised that this permit rescission is based wholly upon the activities which would require
general permit coverage at the site have ceased or been eliminated. Division staff has not visited the site
to obtain independent verification. Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging
stormwater to waters of the State without a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. Enforcement action will be certain for persons that have
voluntarily relinquished permit coveraee when, in fact, continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in
retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coveraee, you should notify this office immediately.
Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's surface waters, you must first
apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Vanessa Manuel at [phone], extension 532
or the Water Quality stall' in the Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 5714700.
