Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG210000 the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. This permit has been 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.
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Stormwater Permit NCG210000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• 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
the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes to the General Permit include the following:
• Permit cover page, second paragraph — The General Permit now may cover activities that DWQ determines to be similar in
either the process, or in the exposed materials, to the Timber Products Industry.
• Part I Section A — A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an approved TMDL,
may not be eligible for continued coverage at the next renewal of the General Permit. -
• Part I Section B second paragraph — A new clarification that the permit does not authorize discharges that DWQ determines
are wastewaters.
• Part II Section A — The required contents of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been expanded and clarified.
• Part II Section B Table 1 — A new requirement to sample stormwater discharges twice per year for those. facilities with
exposed piles of certain materials remaining on -site longer than seven days.
• Part II Section B Tables 2 and 3 and following — For permittees with exposed piles, there are new provisions requiring the
permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the
second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring
instead of twice -per -year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
• Part 11 Section B — For permittees with exposed piles, a new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark
will trigger increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct
the permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control
measures.
• Part II Section C — Clarification that under the qualitative monitoring provisions of the permit, the permittee is obligated to
respond to repeated observations of stormwater pollution. DWQ may impose additional stormwater management
requirements if the permittee is non -responsive, or if the responses are ineffective.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ.

Dear Becky Murphy:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Subject: Rescission of NPDES General Permit -
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG210366
the Mulch Masters of N.C. Inc. - The Mulch Masters of N.C. Inc.
On 12/3/2008, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind you coverage under Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG210366. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG210366 is rescinded
effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stornrwater to waters of the State
without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per
day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished
permit coverage when, in fact, continuing pennit 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 the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the new or
prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], or the Water Quality staff in our
Raleigh Regional Office at 919-791-4200.
Sincerely,
