Re: Notice of Deficiency- NOD -2014 -OP -0016
Failure to Apply for Renewal of Expiring State General Permit
Permit #: AWS470031
Hoke County
Your facility was approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation State Non -Discharge
General Permits, which expired on September 30, 2014.
The State Non -Discharge General Permit, Condition V9 states:
`If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new CDC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the General
Permit.'
In order to assure your continued coverage under the State Nan -Discharge General Permits, the Division
of Water Resources (DWR) sent you a reminder to submit an application for permit coverage to the
Division in a letter written on March 3, 2014. however, our records indicate that the Division has not
received an application form from your facility. The form was due April 1, 2014. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit your application within thirty (30) days
of receipt of this letter to the following address:
NCDENR DWR
Animal Feeding Operations Program
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636
Telephone number: [phone]
Enclosed you will find a "Request for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Expiring
State Non -Discharge General Permit." The application form must be completed, signed and returned to
DWR with one (1) copy of your most recent Waste Utilization Plan along with the field maps.

1. If your facility was never built, please indicate so on the application and request to be removed
from the permitted list.
2. If your facility is depopulated and you are waiting to close the lagoon, please send a separate
letter requesting a "zero animals" permit until such time as the lagoons are properly closed
according to the NRCS standards and the permit is rescinded.
Failure to request renewal of your coverage under a general permit within the time period specified may
result in a civil penalty. Operation of your facility without coverage under a valid general permit would
constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If you have any questions about the State Non -Discharge General Permits, the enclosed application, or
any related matter please feel free to contact the Animal Feeding Operations Program staff at 919-807-
6464.
