Dear Mr. Piccirillo;
Division staff has confirmed that the subject Certificate of Coverage is no longer required.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, NCG500239 is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future your company wishes to discharge wastewater to the tate's surface waters, they;
must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit. Discharge of wastewater without a valid
PD S permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.
f you have questions about this matter, please contact Charles Weaver of my staff at the
telephone number or address listed below.

Dear Permittee:
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If
you have already mailed a renewal request, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
Yebruary 1. 2007. Failure to request renewal by this date may result in a civil penalty assessment. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. This renewal notice is being sent
well in advance of the due date so that you have adequate time to prepare your application.
If any discharge previously covered under NCG500000 will occur after July 31, 2007, the
CoC must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1; raper fitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If all discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this CoC for if you have other
questions], contact me at the telephone number or e-mail address listed below.

General Permit NCG50000
Formerly NPDES Permit NCO076031
Mecklenburg County
Dear Pe ' ittee
e Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.AC. 2H 0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage ; where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDEB general permit no. NCG500000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0076031. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6,1983 and as subsequently
`ended:
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in'this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage `under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, E.4 addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from `s Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 14-215.6A to 1-215.6C. Please note that the general permit dries require
monitoring in accordance with federal lave. The monitoring data is not required to be submitted to the Division
less specifically requested, however, the permittee is required to maintain all records for a period of at least
three (3) years.

Certificate of Coverage No. NCG500239
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage is an administrative action initiated by the Division of
Environmental Management and therefore, no fees are due at this time. In accordance with current rules, there
are no annual administrative and compliance monitoring fees for coverage under general permits. The only fee
you will be responsible for is a renewal fee at the time of renewal. The current permit expires July 31, 1997.
This coverage will remain valid through the duration of the attached general permit. The Division will be
responsible for the reissuance of the general permit and at such time, you will be notified of the procedures to
follow to continue coverage under the reissued permit. Unless you fail to follow the procedures for continued
coverage, you will continue to be permitted to discharge in accordance with the attached general permit.
The issuance of this Certificate of Coverage does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be required by the Division of Environmental Management
or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act or any Federal or
Local other governmental permit that may be required.

a. CompositeSample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period o
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples ofequal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the
time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing
the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be
determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval
between sample collection fixed at no greater than 124 of the expected total daily
flow at the treatment system, or
() a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional
to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be
no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall
be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a
detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be
collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in
number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in
no case may the time interval between eff°l cent grab samples be greater than sine ()
hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during; a 24 hour sampling period.

b.. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the
product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values.
The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms
of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of
zero (0) shad be considered to be one (1).
c. Weighted by Flow 'Value; Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective

treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or
established or operating mode for the facility.
() "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage
to the treatment facilities which causes them to became inoperable, or substantial
and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur
in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
b; Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations
to be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient
operation. These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. o
this sections
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;

(a) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe
property damage;

Part If
Page 9 of 1
(b) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate
backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable
engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal
periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(c) The pertrattee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) e Permit issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering
its adverse affects, if the Permit issuing Authority determines that it will meet the

facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive inten ce, or careless or
improper ration,
b Affect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the
requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during
administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an
action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions'necessx for a demonstration of upset.
