Dear Mr. Owen:

Reference is made to the written rescission request received July 24, 2014 for the subjec"t
Distribution 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. WQ0012210
is rescinded, effective immediately.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 Distribution 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

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.
