RE: NPDES Permit No. NCS000608
Application for an Ownership Change
Dear Ms. Young,
Covation Biomaterials, LLC (CovationBio) has entered into an agreement to purchase the Kinston Site
from DuPont Industrial Biosciences USA, LLC (DuPont) as part of a larger acquisition of DuPont's
biomaterials business. The acquisition closed on May 31, 2022, and ownership of the site was transferred
to CovationBio. To ensure consistency in operations and continued compliance, the site leadership team
is transferring to CovationBio, and I will continue as the Plant Manager for the Kinston Site. CovationBio
intends to operate the site as it was operated by DuPont and consistent with the application for National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. NCS000608. The transfer of permit
responsibility, coverage, and liability shall be effective June 1, 2022. Enclosed please find the NPDES
Stormwater Permit Name/Ownership Change Form and legal documentation of the transfer of ownership.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at (252)
643-7169 or Shelby Arellano at [phone].
Sincerely,
& A Pt4.�C
