Subject: Rescission of NPDES Permit
Avondale Mills, Inc. — Sanford Plant
Permit Number NCG170248
Lee County
Dear Mr. Chieves:
It is the understanding of the Division that Avondale Mills, Inc. has ceased its manufacturing operations
at the Sanford plant location in North Carolina. In accordance with this information, NPDES General
Permit NCG170248 is rescinded, effectively immediately.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 coverage when, in fact, continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in
retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, 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 staff in the Raleigh Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
Gregory J. Thorpe
