This letter is in response to the permit major modification and renewal request received on May 2,
During the pre -review process, the Division noted that the following items were missing from the
submitted application package:
On May 2, 2024, the Division received the subject major modification and renewal application
via the Non -Discharge online portal. The application requests an increase from 1,250 dry tons
per year (DT/yr) to 1,500 DT/yr. This increase constitutes a major modification and requires
an application fee pursuant to GS 143-215.3D.(d). Please submit the appropriate application
fee in the amount of $348 made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality to my attention at: 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.
Accordingly, the Division is returning your permit major modification and renewal request as
incomplete pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0107(b).
The success of the Non -Discharge Branch's permitting process depends upon the receipt of
complete and accurate applications and supporting documentation. Please amend the application package
to include omitted items noted above and resubmit with the appropriate permit processing fee. When
resubmitting, please submit the application electronically as a single PDF via the Non -Discharge
online portal.
Please be advised that construction and/or operation of the subject facilities without a valid
permit is a violation of G.S. 143-215.1, and may subject you to appropriate enforcement actions
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A.9 6B., and 6C. The Division may assess civil penalties of up to $25,000
per day per violation for failure to secure a valid permit.
