Subject: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit Requirement
Facility Number: AWS100021
Dear Carolina Bay Farms, LLC:
According to our records, your facility was assessed for a discharge of wastewater to the waters of
the state that occurred on October 20, 2020. As a result, according to the North Carolina General
Statutes §143-215.1, 40 Code of Federal Regulations §122.23, and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, you are
required to apply for coverage under an NPDES permit.
Within 90 days of receipt of this letter, complete and return the attached form, "NPDES
General Permit Application— Existing Animal Waste Operations." Please carefully follow the
instructions on the form. If you wish to apply for an Individual NPDES Permit instead of a General
Permit, please contact us and we will forward you that application. Two copies of your complete
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan are required with the permit application. Please
refer to the checklist on page two of the application to be sure that all necessary documents are
submitted with the application.
A copy of the NPDES General Permit may be downloaded at our website:
http: //deq.nc. gov/ab out/divi si ons/water-resources/water-quality-regional-operations/afo
If it is your opinion that your facility should not be required coverage under an NPDES permit,
please provide written justification (such as change in ownership and management) so that the
Division can make appropriate determination to your situation.
