The following information is included with your permit package:
■ A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
■ A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG520000
■ A copy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG520000
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable
to you, you have the right to request an individual permit by submitting an individual permit application. Unless
such demand is made, the certificate of coverage shall be final and binding.
Although the current General Permit for Sand Dredging activities (NCG520000) expired July 31, 2007, your
permit is being issued with those same requirements. The newly issued General Permit for Sand Dredging
activities will be forwarded to you at a later date.
Please take notice that this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable except after notice to the Division of Water
Quality. The Division of Water Quality may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate
of coverage. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
