Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Snow Hill Chip Mill
Certificate of Coverage:NCG210408
Greene County
Dear Mr. Burger:
On August 14,2023,the Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your
coverage under NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG210000.In accordance with your request and a site visit from the
Washington Regional Office, Certificate of Coverage NCG210408 is rescinded effective immediately.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 Cook at(919)707-3648, or the Stormwater staff in our Washington Regional Office at
[phone].
Sincerely,
Brittany Co c
