Subject: NPDES PERMIT NO. NG0050962
ALEXANDER COUNTY
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit issued on 3/31/88 expires on 3/31/93. North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal
be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date._ As of the date of this
letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application -for
renewal.
If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the
permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be
allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days .prior
to the permit's expiration date. Operation of the waste treatment works or
continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of
NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per
day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least
180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00;
larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
A renewal application shall consist of a letter requesting permit renewal along
with the appropriate completed and signed application form (copy attached), submitted
in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15
NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant
analysis inaccordance with Part 122.21. A processing fee must be submitted with the
application. In addition to penalties referenced above, a permit renewal request
received after the expiration date will be considered as a new application and will
require the higher application fee.

Attached is a copy of the fee schedule from 15 NCAC 2B.0105(b). The application
processing.fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate,
listed in the first five categories of facilities. Presently, no facility is allowed
to submit a fee for the general permits listed in the schedule since the Environmental
Protection Agency has not approved the State of North Carolina's general permit. If
the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative
description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for
renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.
The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate
fee should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.
If there are questions or a need for additional information regarding the permit
renewal procedure, please contact me at telephone number [phone].
Sincerely,
