Importance: High
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificate of Coverage is no longer required. Therefore, in
accordance with your request, NPDES Permit NCG520067 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your company wishes to discharge wastewater to the State's surface waters, it 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.
