Dear Mr. Bayse:
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificate of Coverage is no longer required, a t the
proposed system was never built. Therefore, in accordance with your request,NCG551051 is
rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your hospital wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, they
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.

Subject: Renewal Notice/General Permit NCG550000
Certificate of Coverage NCG551051
Transylvania County
Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NCG550000 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 postmarked no later than
February 1.2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your property was last issued on August 1, 2002.
The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 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. That person [or other staff members] can help
you determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information request does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
separately by the Division's Bude'et Office No money is required for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your CoC is like the renewal of your Driver's
License [ca, every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.

Dear Permittee:
Your residence or facility is currently covered for wastewater discharge under General Permit NCG550000. 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 of2002. Once the permit is reissued,your residence or facility would he
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
you permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier,we are informing you in advance that your permit 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.
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[he request. Discharge of wastewater from your
residence or facility without coverage under a valid wastewater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-2t5:1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to$10,000 per clay.
If the subject wastewater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated,please complete the enclosed

Dear Mr. Merrill:
On March 2, 1999, Jeff McCall and 1 performed site and soil evaluations on your property
located on Hwy. 280 (Pin# 8396.01-1483-000).
`P's'o`a'—yam — �165
The soil conditions on this property were characterized by a poorly drained fill material. The
fill material on this property does not meet the specifications for approval described in North
Carolina General Statute 130A341 or the requirements set forth in Rule .1957(b) (1) of the
Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems. Based on these findings, this
i l site was determined to be unsuitably for the instillation of an on-site sewage disposal system.
The following are options for development of the property:
(1) Provide and easement on an adjacent property suitable for an on-site sewage disposal
system.
(2) Pursue options available through the Division of Water Quality(DWQ). The regional
office is located in Asheville, N.C. [phone].
(3) Seek re-classification of the site in accordance with Rule .1948(d). Re-classification
under Rule .1948(d)requires written documentation,including engineering, hydrologic,
geologic or soil studies. The data provided must show:
(a) a ground absorption system can be installed so that the effluent will be non-
pathogenic, non-infectious, non-toxic, and non-hazardous.
(b) the effluent will not contaminate .groundwater or surface water; and
(c) the efflaent will not be exposed on the ground surface or be discharged to
1 1 surface waters where it could come in contact with people, animals, or vectors.
