Subject:
N01 Application NCG020991
The Twenty Twenty Pit Mine
Return #1332
Northampton County
We received your application for an NPDES discharge permit on October 25, 2021. On June 1, 2022,
Lauren Garcia with the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a site visit to determine whether the
facility was compliant with coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG020000.
It was concluded that coverage under NCG020000 is not needed due to the lack of stormwater
discharge from this site. This mine does not have any outfalls and therefore no stormwater
discharges. All industrial water drains internally, the berms are heavily vegetated. The mine will be
reclaimed and the mining permit will be closed out.
With this letter, your application is being returned to you. Please be advised that if the State
determines that discharges from this site contribute to a water quality standard violation or are a
significant contributor of pollutants to waters of the U.S., the Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) is authorized to require a discharge permit.
If operations at our facility change such as that an NPDES stormwater discharge permit is required,
then you must submit an application and receive permit coverage prior to any discharge. The
return of this application does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may
be required by the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources, or permits required by the
Division of Water Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local
government permit or approval that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Brittany Carson at [phone]
or by email at brittany.carsonancdenr.gov.
