Permit Renewal Request
Dear Mrs. Thedford,
Please find attached the required documentation for the renewal of NPDES Permit#NC0004243.
There have not been any significant changes in plant operations since the previous permit revision
issued 30 October 2017.
Coats is currently coordinating wastewater sampling for the parameters believed to be present in
EPA Form 2C, Tables A - C. The samples will be collected as soon as possible and we expect the
lab results within the next few weeks. Coats will submit a completed Table A—C to the NC DEQ
Raleigh office upon the receipt and review of the laboratory reports. All the parameters listed in
EPA Form 2C, Table D, are believed absent in the wastewater discharge.
One original and two copies of the required documentation have been included with this
submittal.
For any technical questions, contact Mr. John Moss, Facilities Engineering Manager, at 828-756-
4111 extension 3258 ([e-mail]) or Todd Wegenast, Environmental Compliance

non—coal mining operations which have been released from applicable State or Federal reclamation requirements after
December 17, 1990)and oil and gas exploration,production,processing,or treatment operations,or transmission facilities that
discharge stormwater contaminated by contact with or that has come into contact with,any overburden,raw material,intermediate
products,finished products,byproducts or waste products located on the site of such operations;(inactive mining operations are
