Dear Mr. Brown:

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Regarding your request for rescission of the subject wastewater permit, staff of the
Asheville Regional Office has confirmed that this permit is no longer required.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NPDES wastewater general permit number
NCG520048 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish to again discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters,
you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Operating a facility without
a valid NPDES Permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to
$10,000 per day.
If it would be helpful to discuss this matter further, I would suggest that you contact
Jim Reid of the Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Rob Lang of our Central
Office at 919-733-5083, extension 361.

Dear Mr. Hoffman:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificates of Coverage are no longer required.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NCG520071 and NCG520084 are rescinded,
effective immediately.
If in the future your firm wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, she must
first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Certificate of Coverage NCG520071
Dear Permittee: Caldwell County
You are receiving this notice because your company currently operates a dredging operation covered under the
subject General Permit for the discharge of sand -dredging runoff. NCG520000 will expire on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR
122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180
days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request

Hi Charles,
Below is an email relating to permit NCG520O84 that I ended up dealing with. And in later emails I did tell you to
rescind the permit based on my conversations with the owner, however the owner was confused. He has several of
these operations in ARO. Anyhow, he actually did not want to rescind this pit and is still working it. Can we simply
reactivate this permit?

Dear Mr. Hoffman:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificates of Coverage are no longer required.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NCG520071 and NCG520084 are rescinded,
effective immediately.
If in the future your firm wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, she must
first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.
Sincerely,

days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement,the Division must receive a renewal request
postmarked no later than February 1,2007.
The Certificate of Coverage(CoC)specific to your operation was last issued on July 27,2006. The Division needs
information from you to determine if coverage under NCG520000 is still necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed Technical Bulletin,you must renew the
subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has,contact Keith Haynes in the NC DENR Asheville Regional Office at

PART IV EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a sand dredge operation. The operator uses a track hoe to remove sand from the river
places it on the stream bank and screens it prior to sale. The water from the wet sand drains back
to the river by way of the sandy substrate; there is no discharge point. Stormwater is treated in the
same manner.
The regional office recommends the issuance of the permit.-

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Smith Pit
Permit No:NCG520084
Burke County
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
On February 24, 2015, I conducted Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the Smith Pit dredging operation. I
met with Joseph Hoffman. The facility was not in operation at the time of the inspection. All but one of the
areas of operation appeared to be in compliance with permit NCG520084. There have been two complaints of
this operation over the last two years regarding oil sheens.Noted during the inspection was petroleum sheen
hovering around the dredge. Joseph Hoffman and I discussed deploying petroleum absorbent booms around the
dredge to keep the sheen contained; absorbent pads within the booms may also be needed to remove the
petroleum product from the surface of the water. We also discussed the signage needed at the site as required`
by the permit.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff
have any questions,please call me at 828-296-4500.

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspector met onsite with Joseph Hoffman,
The inspection was initiated due to a citizen floating the river seeing an oil sheen.
The operation is a hydraulic dredge. Material is pumped through a screen into a pit. Discharge water
flows from this pit through two other linear pits before discharging to the river.Visual observations are
made at effluent pipe for turbidity problems. None have been noted and the series of pits appear to be-
effective according to Joseph Hoffman.
Turbidity samples should be collected during operations, upstream and downstream of the operation,
to confirm turbidity levels are not exceeded. Flows also need to be measured according to the permit
Section A.
Over the last couple of years there have been two complaints about this dredge operation losing
petroleum product to the river. This inspection was a result of the most recent complaint.At the dredge
there was sheen of petroleum product noted. It was not a large'sheen and was hovering around the e
dredge. There did not appear to be a leak from the dredge,just ancillary petroleum residue.
Regardless, it is suggested Mr. Hoffman deploy a boom around his dredge. Upon discussion with
Joseph Hoffman it should be viable to attach a boom around the dredge without hampering operations.
Also discussed was Using petroleum absorbent pads within the boom boundary if needed for added
protection.
Signage should be posted alerting recreational water users of the operation as noted in the permit.
Joseph Hoffman and the inspector discussed good sighting locations for the sign; attached to one of
the water line floats would likely be the most visible location.
