Dear Permittee:
Your Facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG530000. This permit expires
on July 31,2002. 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 yom 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.
