Subject: Renewal Notice/General Permit NCG550000

Yancey 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
addressor phone number listed below to request rescission of the CoC.
➢ This information reauest does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
separately by the Division's Budget 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.

COC Number NCG550827

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 of 2002. Once the permit is reissued,your residence or 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 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 the request. Discharge of wastewater from your
residence or 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 Bill Mills or the Central Office Stormwater Unit at(919)733-5083,ext.548

Dear Permiltee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under general permit NCG550000,the Division of
Water Quality(DWQ)is forwarding herewith the reissued wastewater general permit Certificate of Coverage
(COC). This CDC is 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 May 9, 1994(or as subsquently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
* A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
* A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
* Acopy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
Your coverage under this general permit is not transferable except after notice to DWQ. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR or relieve the permittee from responsibility
for compliance with any other applicable federal,state,or local law rule,standard,ordinance,order,judgment,or
decree.
Please now that effective January 1, 1999 the fees for all permits issued by DWQ were changed. This changed the
fee for your wastewater general permit coverage from a$240 fee paid once every five years to a yearly fee of$50.
If you have not already been billed this year for the yearly fee,you will receive a bill later this year.
If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater
and General Permits Unit at(919)733-5083,ext.548
Sincerely,

this property. This system meets our approval, having been constructed and operated in
accordance with Division requirements.
An authorization to construct was issued by the Division on July 25, 1996 consisting of a
1200 gallon septic tank, 265.5 square foot (9' x 29.5') subsurface sand filter with a loading rate of

rate of not more than 2.3 gpd/sq. ft., a chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorinator and
cascade aerator with a discharge of treated wastewater into Allen Branch classified as C-Trout
