Reference is made to your written rescission request received June 1, 2015 for the subject Land
Application of Residual Solids permit. Staff from the Asheville Regional Office has confirmed that the
subject permit is no longer required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, Permit No. WQ0002349
is rescinded, effective immediately.
If in the future you wish again to operate the subject non -discharge system, you must first apply
for and receive a new Land Application of Residual Solids permit. Please be advised that construction
and/or operation of the subject facilities without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General
Statute §143-215.1 and may subject the owner/operator to appropriate enforcement actions in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute § 143 -215.6A -6C. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per
violation may be assessed for failure to secure a permit required by North Carolina General Statute § 143-
215.1.
