North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e))requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package should have been sent to the Division postmarked no later than April 3, 2006. The Division has not received a renewal request for the subject CoC. This is a violation of your permit at Part II. B. 10, which states"Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration...will subject the permittee to enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6 and 33 USC 1251 et. seq.". To prevent an assessment of civil penalties you must submit a completed permit application(see enclosed forms) no later than June 19, 2006. If the system is inactive due to lack of trust fund payments, but the remediation equipment is still on site, the CoC should be renewed. If all remediation discharge from this facility has ceased and you wish to rescind this CoC [or if you have any other questions], contact Charles Weaver of my staff. Mr. Weaver's telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page. 5 +L SIGNED =eJSAN A, \N1LS(?t Alan W.

P.O. Box 2359 DIVISION OF ENVIROlII�ERTAI ra;ANAGEMEIIT Gastonia, North Carolina 28053-2359 IADORESVILLE RE&iORAL DACE Subject: Receipt of NPDES Permit Application Permit No. NCG510335 Springwood Site Gaston County Dear Mr. Overton: The Division acknowledges receipt of your NPDES permit application for coverage under general permit number 510000 and a$550 check (#70522) received February 21, 1996. After a preliminary review of the proposed treatment system, several questions have surfaced. Our primary concern is the ability of the system to meet effluent limits set forth in the general permit. The general permit for groundwater remediation systems has an effluent limit for toluene of 11 141. Evidence that this limit will be met must be provided before a Certificate of Coverage can be issued for this facility. Furthermore, the general permit will expire July 31, 1997. When the permit is renewed it will include provisions for discharges into water supply waters. The permit limits for these discharges will likely be much more stringent than for the current general permit. This fact should be considered in designing the said treatment system. Final plans sealed by a North Carolina professional engineer must be submitted to the Division before an Authorization to Construct can be issued for this facility. A decision must be made on the proper type of air stripping to be used. Once this decision is made, plans specifying this decision must be submitted to the Division. I am, by copy of this letter, requesting that the Mooresville Regional Office Supervisor prepare a staff report and recommendations regarding this discharge. This application has been assigned to me for review. If you have any questions regarding this application, I can be contacted at (919) 733-5083, extension 553. Sinc re , Mark D. McIntire, E.I. .
