This permit expires on July 3l,2002. Division of Water Quality(DWQ)staff is in the process of rewriting this permit with a scheduled reissue in the summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued,your facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit,you must apply to the DWQ for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier,we are informing you in advance that your permit coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a general permit coverage renewal application form. This will serve as your application for renewal of your permit coverage. The application must be completed and returned with the required information by February 01,2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the general permit.There is no renewal fee associated with this process. Your facility will be invoiced for the annual permit fee at a later date. Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least$250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of wastewater from your facility without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to$10,000 per day. If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated,please complete the enclosed rescission request form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the rescission process has been completed. If you have any questions regarding the permit coverage renewal procedures please contact the Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Aisha Lau of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at(919)733-5083,ext.578 Sincerely, Bradley Bennett,Supervisor Stormwater and General Permits Unit cc: Central Files Stormwater and General Permits Unit Files Asheville Regional Office 1617 Mail service Center, Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-733-9919 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/10%post-consumer paper
