Dear Samuel Ross:

Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Spruce Pine Rail Yard
Certificate of Coverage: NCG080940
Mitchell County
On May 23, 2022, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind
your coverage under NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG080000. In accordance with your request,
Certificate of Coverage NCG080940 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater, or discharging specific types of stormwater to
waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and
could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or
wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We would be happy to
assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you would be performing a public service if you inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brittany Carson at [phone], or the
Stormwater staff in our Asheville Regional Office at (828)-296-4500.
Sincerely,
p /
