Stormwater Permit NCS000549
Riverbend Steam Station
Gaston County
The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources' Stormwater Program received your request to add
stormwater outfall (SW018) into you permit on June 7, 2016. The Division has reviewed and approved
your request. This modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Please insert the attached
page 13 of 19 in Part II of your permit and discard or disregard the old page (be sure not to discard the old
page if its reverse side contains another part of the permit).
This modification includes the following changes from your current permit:
• Monitoring requirements for the new stormwater outfall SW018.
• Because it is on the same page, the modified page also reflects the removal/abandonment of
outfalls SW015, SW016, and SWO17 (confirmed in the letter from Duke Energy to DEQ dated
October 29, 2015).
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this modification are
unacceptable to you, then you have the right to file a petition for a contested case with the Office of
Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This petition must
conform to the requirements of Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be
timely filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina
27604. If you do not file a petition within the required time, the agency decision shall be final and
binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. Part III, B.2. addresses the
requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit
modification does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by
this Division, or permits required by the Division of Water Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or
any other federal or local governmental permit that may be required.
