Charles,
The ARO does not have any comments or concerns with regards to this application. This business has been in operation
for a long time at this location. They have been very cooperative since we notified them that they need coverage under
the NCG52 permit. I am not aware of any complaints or water quality violations associated with this facility.
Let me know if you need any additional information from us.

Whenever you can get them to me. Sorry I'm late following up on these.
If you can get me something in a couple of weeks on Sunburst, that would be great.
The Harrin Sand application has been here too long, so I need comments on that one as soon as you can get them to me.

Re: General Permit No. NCG520000
Dear Mr. Rice,
ROY COOPER
Governor
On January 10, 2017, Kevin Mitchell, from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Resources (DWR), spoke with you regarding the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit program. According to our records, your facility does not have a General Permit No. •
NCG520000 to discharge in -stream wastewater from your sand mining operation located at 195 Amboy
Road. In -stream mining wastewaters are typically water running back to the water body after the sand is
deposited on the bank/shore or water from settling ponds. This activity requires a permit.
Please apply for coverage under General Permit No. NCG520000. I have attached an application, a
technical bulletin, and the General Permit for reference. Please call myself or Charles Weaver if you have
any questions regarding the application process. Contact information for Charles Weaver is below:

This office is giving you 60 days to apply for coverage under this permit. If the application is not
received by March . 11, 2017, this office may consider a Notice of Violation and Recommendation for
Enforcement as provided by North Carolina General Statute.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this issue further, please contact,me at 828-296-4650.
