Cleveland County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on July 24, 2007 we
are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject
state — NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina
and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
Based on the activity occurring at your facility, dredging sand from the First Broad River,
your facility should be covered.under the wastewater general permit, NCG520000. However,
this last exception has been made due to a one time agreement with the wastewater permitting
unit due to your.company already operating two identical facilities under the NCG020000
general stormwater permit. Any new activities of this nature in the future must be permitted
under the NCG520000 general wastewater permit.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an
individual permit .application. Unless such demand is made, this certificate of coverage shall be
final and binding.
Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except after notice to
the Division of Water Quality. The. Division of Water Quality 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 the Division of Water Quality or
permits'required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act or any other
federal or local governmental permit that may be required.

c) Is the discharge directly to the receiving water? ❑ Yes ❑ No
If no, submit a site map with the pathway to the potential receiving waters clearly marked. This

e) Volume of discharge per each discharge point (in GPD):
#1: #2: #3: #4
f) Please describe the type of process the sand dredging wastewater. is being discharged from, be
