On March 30, 2017, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request
to rescind your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG240008. In accordance

immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of
stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against
Federal and state laws and could result in fines. Ifsomething changes and your facility would
again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office
immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9200, or the Stormwater
staff in our Winston-Salem Regional Office [phone].

Dear Ms. Georgoulias:
1139634116.103
Golder Associates NC, Inc. (Golder) is submitting the enclosed rescission request form on behalf of the
above -referenced facility. This form is being submitted following a site visit on March 23, 2017, with
representatives from Golder, the Winston-Salem 1 Forsyth County Utility Commission (the Commission),
and Glen White of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.
Upon inspection of the facility, it was determined that no point source discharges representative of the
industrial activity (I.e., composting) occur on the property, nor are there any on -site point source discharges
to waters of the state. Therefore we are requesting rescission of the general permit coverage for this facility.
A facility map has been included for your reference.
We appreciate your assistance with this request. If you have any questions or require additional information,
please contact the undersigned at 336-852-4903 or Wayne Turner with the Commission at 336-747-7320.

Glen,
Based upon the following two findings during your recent site visit and our pending permit rescission
request (attached), we are suspending Stormwater runoff sampling at the Forum 52 Compost
Facility until after a final ruling from DEMLR on the request.
1) The two fabriform down chutes from which we have been sampling according to our SWPP
are not outfalls
2) The rip -rap channel which is an outfall is inaccessible and Stormwater runoff from it is not
representative of the of the industrial activity occurring on the property
We will continue to perform all other activities such as training, outfall certification, site inspections
and rain data collection, required in the General Permit, COC and SWPPP until after a final ruling by
DEMLR on the rescission request.
Thank you,
Wayne Turner

Subject: Our composting facilities
Sherry,
DWQ has created a new, NPDES Stormwater general permit for composting facilities. The Solid Waste department
operates 3 composting facilities: one on Old Milwaukee Lane (near Rexam); another one just off of Reynolds Park Road
(immediately adjacent to the old rock quarry); and the third one at the Forum 52 Industrial Park in Rural Hall. What we
do here is compost leaves and grass.
A Notice of Intent (NOI) is due to NCDENR July 1. This NOI consists of 6 pages and one of the questions asked is: If there
are sewers within one mile of the site (in our case there is, in all three cases), will the wastewater treatment plant accept
the stormwater/wastewater discharge?
Can you give us some guidance on this issue. Feel free to contact me be phone if you wish. Thanks!

Dear Sir:
Please find the enclosed Notice of Intent application package for the composting facility located at
180 North Star Drive in Rural Hall, North Carolina. This facility is a Type 1 composting facility
operating under Division of Waste Management Pert -nit No. SWC-34-23, which receives easily

(i.e., untreated wood, pallets, etc.) for mulching operations in a separate area north of the composting
area. Finished products produced at this facility include mulch, compost, soil alnendlnellt, and boiler
fuel: The entire facility comprises approximately 17 acres, with the composting operations occurring
on approximately 2.5 acres.
The City composts the leaves utilizing windrows to compost wastes over an approximate three to
nine month period until it is utilized by the City or offered to the public. Therefore, both `finished
compost' and raw feedstocks are stored on site during various tines of the year, and both process
wastewater and stormwater discharges occur and are co -mingled. The City currently utilizes earthen
berms and a vegetated Swale as best management practices for this facility.
We understand that there is a bill presently making its way through the State legislature (S13 229) that
may affect out- decision on applying under this new General Stornhwater Permit. Our decision will
certainly be dependent on the bill's final wording.
If You have any questions regarding the enclosures, please contact t.ts.
