This annual fee is required by the North Carolina Administrative Code. It covers the administrative costs associated
with your permit. It is required of any person holding a permit for any time during the annual fee period, regardless
of the facility's operating status. Failure to pay the fee by the due date will subject the permit to revocation.

you later decide a permit is needed, you must reapply, with the understanding the permit request may be denied
due to changes in environmental, regulatory, or modeling conditions.
