Thank you for letting us know about the probable timeframe. Regards, Bethany Georgoulias Environmental Engineer Stormwater Program, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources N.C.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to @nc.gov Touching base to provide the most recent update on site activities. We have completed decommission of the site with the exception of the pump out of one maintenance wastewater sump (to be shipped as waste via vacuum truck), and that is anticipated to occur next week. Since my last communication, we have learned that the wastewater treatment area will be demolished as a stand-alone activity versus a full demolition project. This will consist of removal of structures with heavy equipment and fill in of basins with gravel (no excavation). As a result, the potential stormwater impact is primarily the use of heavy equipment (e.g., oil leaks). We intended to manage this as we have the other decommission activities with an addendum to our SWPPP outlining the demolition plan information, hazards, and safeguards to be employed. The wastewater treatment demolition is to begin this week and be complete by 12/17 with closing on the final sale of the site tentatively slated for 12/23. That timeframe leaves very little time to apply for rescinding the permit and site inspection following the end of the demolition activities. In addition, we will have no personnel on site after demolition is completed. Any advice you can provide on how to manage this situation to ensure ongoing compliance and also meet the permit closure process considering the current timeline is GREATLY appreciated. I will be at the Charlotte site all day Thursday and Friday morning this week if you would like to see the current site status. I can also be reached at the number below and on my cell at 865-207-1157. Thanks in advance for your input!
