In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under general permit NCG550000, the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued wastewater general permit Certificate of Coverage
(COC). This COC is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsquently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A copy of the Certificate of Coverage for your treatment facility
• A copy of General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000
Your coverage under this general permit is not transferable except after notice to DWQ. The Division may require
modification or revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR or relieve the permittee from responsibility
for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or
decree.
Please note that effective January 1, 1999 the fees for all permits issued by DWQ were changed. This changed the
fee for your wastewater general permit coverage from a $240 fee paid once every five years to a yearly fee of $50.
If you have not already been billed this year for the yearly fee, you will receive a bill later this year.
If you have any questions regarding this permit package please contact Mack Wiggins of the Central Office

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The sandfilter system from the Rachel SFR discharges into a
common outfall utilized by other residences along Lower Hopedale
Road that have sandfilters (and possibly straight pipes). Since
there is no access to Ms. Rachel's effluent prior to combining
with other discharges, WSRO recommends that a chlorination unit
be installed to allow for sampling of the Rachel effluent.
Therefore, the permit should be reissued with a clause requiring
the submittal of plans for a chlorination unit to DEM within 90
days after issuance and installation of the chlorination unit
within 180 days after issuance.
