Subject: Rescission of NCG520069
Asphalt Paving of Shelby
Cleveland County
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificate of Coverage [issued under NPDES
General Permit NCG520000] is no longer required. Therefore, in accordance with your request,
CoC NCG520069 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your company wishes to resume its discharge to the State's surface waters, they
must first apply for and receive anew 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.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Subject: Renewal Notice / General Permit NCG520000
Certificate of Coverage NCG520069
Cleveland County
Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because your company currently operates a dredging operation covered under the
subject General Permit for the discharge of sand -dredging runoff. NCG520000 will expire on July 31, 2007. Federal (40 CFR
122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180
days prior to expiration of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request
postmarked no later than February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (CoC) specific to your operation was last issued on July 25, 2003. The Division needs
information from you to determine if coverage under NCG520000 is still necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system, like the ones described in the enclosed Technical Bulletin, you must renew the
subject CoC. Complete the enclosed form and submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Wes Bell in the NC DENR Mooresville Regional Office at
[phone]. That person (or other staff members] can help you determine if you should renew your CoC.
➢ If this site has been shut down and no further dredging will occur, contact me at the address or phone number listed below to
request rescission of the CoC.
Please verify that the provided information is correct, or make corrections on the attached form. Complete the
additional questions, then sign and date the form. The completed form should be submitted to the address listed below the
signature block.
