Subject: NPDES Permit NCG500000 renewal
Certificate of Coverage (CoC) NCG500189
Tillery Hydroelectric Plant ,
Montgomery County
The facility listed above is covered under NPDES General Permit NCG500000. NCG500000 expires
on July 31, 2007. Federal.(40 CFR 122.41).and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days priortoexpiration 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
February 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 beingsent
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
CoCmust be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1; unpermitted 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 [or if you have other
questions], contact me at the telephone number or e-mail-address listed below.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.
