Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Permit Number: NCG030306
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Yancey:
On April 23, 2018, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request to rescind your
NPDES Stormwater Permit Number NCG030306. In accordance with your request, Stormwater Permit
Number NCG030306 is rescinded effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of stormwater to waters of
the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against federal and state laws and could result in
fines. If something changes and your facility would again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit
coverage, you should notify this office immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper
permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, your will be performing a public service if you would inform the
new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.

Hi Ken
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me today regarding Jacobsen's stormwater situation. I feel that our conversation
was fruitful and beneficial for guidance from NCDEQ on the next steps with the stormwater monitoring program at the
Jacobsen facility.
Per our conversation earlier this afternoon, I am following up with this email to confirm the Plan of Action for the
Jacobsen facility in Charlotte NC. As we had discussed, Jacobsen will collect stormwater samples for Outfall 001 at their
facility and analyze the samples for all parameters as required by their General Stormwater Permit (NCG030000). The
stormwater samples will be collected on a monthly basis (separated by at least 30 da s since the last sampling
event (At the moment my interpretation of the circumstances is that Jacobsen is subject to requirements in both Tier 2
and Tier 3. The text of the permit provides that a permittee in monthly sampling does not have to observe a full 60 days
between sampling events, but the permit doesn't specifically establish 30 days. See Part Hpage S of 10, bottom
paragraph. Some separation between events makes sense of course, but the text of the permit is not specific on this

point. The objective should be to obtain a sample in each calendar month. I think your task will be easier if you are not
constrained to waiting far a full 30 days between monthly events.) for three (3) consecutive months, depending on
occurrence of precipitation events, intensity (i.e. enough volume for an actual discharge from the pond outfall pipe) and
normal facility operating hours (the facility does not operate on weekends).
In this regard and in order to collect monthly samples, we would like to confirm if the 72-hour rule for a measurable
storm event can be waived? The 72 hour rule would come into play if precipitation occurs on a weekend and the non -
availability of facility staff to check on whether there was an actual discharge from Outfall 001. (I would like to hold to
the 72-hour requirement in the permit text. I realize this could result in us missing a month or months, with the result that
the completion of your Plan of Action would be delayed. But presumably it would not result in extra sampling costs, since
you would not be sampling non -qualifying events, anyway.)
Once the results from the three sampling events are available, Jacobsen will review, tabulate and discuss the sampling
results and submit it to your attention. Our understanding is that NCDEQ will consider these results along with the
historical stormwater sampling analyses, quantitative extent (i.e. gross or minimal) of the metals benchmark
exceedances, capital costs expended by Jacobsen in source control and other factors in determining the release of the
facility from monthly monitoring requirements and reversion back to semi-annual monitoring for the remainder of the
General Permit term. (Yes, as we discussed Also as we discussed, there are additional related reasons for us to be
receptive to the argument presented. The argument presented in Mr. Wissinger's `January 21, 2016 letter was very good
and on point, and I fully expect this extra analytical work will provide the little bit of extra support for that argument. As
I relayed to you, and as provided for in the permit text, we frequently review and approve requests to be relieved from
monthly sampling based on elements similar to those present in Jacobsen's circumstances)
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments in the Plan of Action described above or if we have
misunderstood some of the items of discussion. Thanks for your all your help.

Yes, I agree. I also don't mind this kind of engagement (it's very interesting and challenging), but more and more I'm
finding myself tangled in doing what the region is supposed to be handling and neglecting tasks we really need to
accomplish here in the Central Office. For me, especially, e-Reporting is going to be an intensive focus for the better
part of this year (after yesterday's meeting with Vanessa, we all realized just HOW MUCH work we have ahead of
us...). EPA's questions about the NCG02s is another example —I feel like they really need to be primarily working with
the ARO and MRO on particular facilities —although there is a compliance component there I'm not at all sure how we fit
into there (or have the time to do???). And then they want to know why we're so behind on individual permits. Ugh.

I think in the process we should probably let Zahid know that we looked into this one because he had asked us to
help with some of these while he is down staff, but these are generally handled in the region and once he gets new staff
engaged in stormwater we will let these go back to them.

but does it really? Maybe it's just because I'm attracted to this particular question and this particular mode of

Hi Zahid,
These folks make commercial grade turf maintenance equipment like riding lawn mowers for golf courses. They are
located at 11524 Wilmar Blvd. in Charlotte, in the Westinghouse Boulevard area. They discharge to an unnamed
tributary to Steele Creek, Class C. We have a request from this permittee to grant relief from monthly
monitoring. They entered Tier 2 in 2014, and are now in Tier 3 for copper, having accumulated 4 exceedances since
2013.
The physical circumstances are pretty clear, I think. Rather than forward to MRO for a site visit and for you to follow up,
I propose to contact the company directly and discuss with their environmental manager over the phone. Unless there
is a surprise in the phone call, I am going to release them from monthly monitoring based on three more monthly
samples that support their request. It is possible that I will hear something in the phone call that would prompt me to
involve MRO, but I want to avoid that if possible. I know your staff are stretched, too.
Would you want us to approach this differently? Do you have a recent history with this site? I don't see anything in the
files up here, or in BIMS. An inspection in 2013 by Mecklenburg County did not identify any stormwater issues.
Let me know if you want us to handle this differently than I have proposed.
Thanks,
Ken

Subject: Jacobsen request to be relieved from monthly monitoring
Re: Jacobsen, a Texron Company, Charlotte
Thanks Bradley,
I've reviewed Jacobsen's request. I think it's ok to grant their request to drop back to semi-annual sampling upon 3
more monthly results suggesting that the installed process control equipment has removed the source of Cu and Zn with
some qualifications in our letter.
Mr. Wissinger requests: 'Therefore, we are respectfully requesting that the facility be removed from the tiered status
and the monthly monitoring stipulations (KBP opinion: OK If 3 additional monthly data supports the request) of the
General Permit and be allowed to revert back to semi-annual stormwater monitoring for the remainder of theDermit
term. (KBP opinion: OK to extend the relief for the remaining term of the permit if 3 more monthly results suggest that
the source has been addressed. Some qualifying language in our response letter is required.) Note that the permit
term for NCG03 is through October 31, 2017, which would require four more sampling events from today. My
recommended approach may be a little more rigid than our past responses to other similar requests, but the
circumstances here are a little weaker in support of his request.
The strengths of his argument:
• They performed a 'root cause investigation' (They are an 15014001 facility, and it's to be expected that they will
cite the ISO jargon, in accordance with their certification and environmental management system), and they
identified two potential sources.
• They report spending $80,000 on filters and mist eliminators 'on the paint booth roof stacks to reduce roof
condensation of paint materials. The deposition of paint materials was tentatively identified as a potential
source of copper and zinc exceedances.
• The request is well presented and shows a grasp of many of the relevant aspects. These folks appear to be
serious environmental managers.
• Although the copper benchmark (0.007 mg/L) has been exceeded four times (Tier 3), only one of the samples
would be above our revised benchmark going into new permits, 0.010 mg/L. Sample results reported as
[0.0065, 0.0067, 0.0089, 0.040, 0.0045, 0.0081, 0.0098.1 Potentially we could consider that the one value
indicates a one-time problem_ His argument could derive some support from an interpretation that the other
exceedances do not suggest a continuing pollutant discharge at a level of concern, although they do approach
0.010 mg/L (0.0089, 0.0081, 0.0098).
• He further reports that PM measurements before and after the installation of the mist eliminators in December
2015 show a reduction from 320 ppm to <10 ppm on the Main Spray Booth exhaust, and no measureable
change on the Reel Spray booth exhaust PM (<10 ppm to <10 ppm).
• Note that the single TSS exceedance, and the maximum Cu exceedance, and the maximum Zn exceedance
occurred in the same event on 11/17/2014. The pH reported for that event was pH 7.83; the rainfall was
2.25". (He didn't make this argument explicitly, but the included data speaks for him.)
Additional information:

Per my inspection of the Google Maps image, Mr. Wissinger's reference to a, "stormwater detention pond for
treatment prior to off -site discharge" must be a reference to a dry detention basin. It does not appear that a
wet detention basin is present on site given the absence of any impounded water in the aerial photo. Further,
the boundaries of the dry detention basin are unclear to me, and a part of an area where it might be located
appears to be a test lawn for the turf maintenance equipment manufactured at the site.
+ The ISO 14001 environmental management protocol includes a subsequent confirmation step for any
management responses to identified environmental problems.
• The discharge is into a LIT to Steele Creek, a class C water. Frito-Lay Charlotte is immediately downstream of this
site on the short UT.
+ Per my inspection of the Google Maps image, the roof of the facility does indeed have a few discolored spots
that could indicate deposition from roof penetrations. Over half of the building complex appears have a
standing seam metal roof, presumably galvanized.
• Again from Google Maps, there does appear to be a moderate amount of outside storage of materials and
product scattered around the property.
• Benchmark exceedance summary: in seven samples since CY 2013: 1 TSS of 160 mg/L; 1 pH of 9.1 mg/L; 4 Cu as
noted above; 3 Zn of 0A75, 0.270, and 0.068 mg/L vs permit BM of 0.067 mg/L and revised BM of 0.126 mg/L.
(Two samples in CY 2013, two in CY 2014, three in CY 2015.)
The weaknesses of Jacobsen's request:
• Mr. Wissinger is requesting relief from monthly monitoring triggered by the Cu exceedances. Monthly
monitoring would have begun in December 2014 based on consecutive copper exceedances in semi-annual
samples retrieved 4/7/14 and 11/17/14. So, that would be monthly sampling starting in December 2014 and
continuing through January 2016, so far. Fourteen monthly samples. He reports three samples since November
2014. So I conclude that he has not yet begun monthly sampling. My memory is not fully clear, but my
impression is that we had plenty of rain during the calendar year 2015 in Raleigh: in fact, I think it was a record
year in some areas of the state.
• The ISO 14001 environmental management program includes a confirmation step once management action has
addressed an environmental problem. While Jacobsen has measured stack PM, where are the measurements of
stormwater Cu, Zn, TSS, and pH? Or even those measurements for just the roof runoff? They have not executed
a key step in their own environmental management protocol, as far as we know based on the information in the
request letter. As to their assumption of the root cause, they have not confirmed that roof stacks are the root
cause of stormwater pollution.
Note that Jacobsen had their fourth Cu exceedance at the very end of October 2015, and installed $80,000
worth of equipment in December 2015. It appears they short-circuited the permit requirement to contact the
Regional Office within 30 days of receipt of the lab data to report Tier 3 status and to seek Division help in
moving forward. The very close sequencing of the receipt of analytical results (sometime in November) and the
coming on-line of the control equipment (on or before December 8, 2015) suggests that this capital project may
have been under consideration prior to receiving the stormwater data from the October 28, 2015 rain event.
The present letter in hand is directed to the wrong party (no big deal) and is 30 days late (due to us in December
2015, not Jan 2016). Again, maybe not such a big deal to us.
Mr. Wissinger characterizes the metals benchmarks as `extremely low'. As we have told others, while the
benchmarks are set based only on protecting the receiving water biota, other administrative work-arounds are
provided in the text of the permit and in our historic implementation of Tier 3 conditions in cooperation with
our permittees. This implied argument for relief carries no weight with me.
KBP summary assimilation of the circumstances and recommended steps:
+ First call Mr. Wissinger to report our response. Follow up with our letter/email only after voice -to -voice
discussion.
• We are amenable to granting the request upon submittal of three more monthly results supporting the
request. We do not think the site is a source of concern, but please let's step through the process outlined in
the permit text to be sure.

* The assumed root cause has not been confirmed. Monthly sampling for Feb, Mar, Apr should be conducted
both as per permit requirements (our concern) and as per ISO 14001 confirmation step protocol (presumably
their concern.)
+ In light of the fact that under our revised benchmarks there would only be one Cu and one Zn exceedance,
forgive the past failure to conduct monthly sampling for the 14 months since Tier 2; forgive the failure to
contact the RO in December 2015 in writing.
• Advise that if the results do not confirm the reduction we will work with them to assess the new data; we will
request that the facility come forward with a plan and schedule for improved control; we are amenable to
continue to moderate our implementation of permit conditions considering the revised benchmarks utilized in
newer permits.
• KBP opinion: We could lust interpret the conditions here as sufficient to grant their request straight up. But
Bradley, 1 feel it is just too much to forgive their disregard of permit requirements to the point of accepting
their request far relief with absolutely no hard evidence that the stacks are the source. Yes, forgive their past
disregard of the permit wrt any enforcement action. And yes, let's interpret future test results against our
revised benchmark values. But let's not join them in disregarding the permit conditions from this point
forward. Let's keep them focused on frnding a solution in months, rather than in years. We have some history
of requiring 'confirmation' monthly sampling before reverting to semi-annual.

Jacobsen, a Textron Company (Jacobsen) is currently covered under the General Stormwater Permit No.
NCG030000 for stormwater discharges from the facility associated with industrial activities. The drainage
features at the facility are engineered such that all stormwater runoff from the outdoor areas of the facility are
routed through a stormwater detention pond for treatment prior to off -site discharge through the pond outfall
(S WO01). As part of the permit requirements, Jacobsen has been conducting visual and analytical stormwater v
monitoring for Outfall SWOOI on a semi-annual basis. However, due to benchmark exceedance of Total -f
Copper in the facility stormwater discharge, Jacobsen is currently in Tier 3 status -according to the General 1
a'"''
Permit regulations.
A historical summary of the facility stormwater analytical monitoring results are presented in Table 1 below.
Monthly monitoring for outfalI SWOOI was instituted and conducted (depending on occurrence of
precipitation events) upon two (2) consecutive benchmark exceedances for Total Copper. As can be observed,
the Total Copper and Zinc exceedances were very slightly above the extremely low benchmark levels (Total
Copper and Zinc at 7 ug/L and 67 ug/L, respectively) prescribed in the General Permit, thereby triggering the
tiered status for the facility stormwater discharge. While we feel that the November 2014 results were not
representative of the facility stormwater discharge, the metals exceedances from the other sampling events
were above benchmark levels by an average of 19 ug/1 for Total Copper and an average of 4.5 ug/L for Total
Zinc.
The facility had been conducting stormwater inspections to determine the cause of the benchmark exceedance
for Total Copper and Zinc in the stormwater discharge since the first such exceedwee in April 2013 and has
Jacobsen Stormwater Page i of January 19, 2016

rgviewed its outdoor storage policies and conducted root cause investigations for the metals exceedances as
part of its tiered inspections. The potential cause of the exceedances was narrowed down to potential
condensation of chemicals from the production paint exhaust vents on the manufacturing building roof and/or
(due to the very low metals benchmarks) from just normal precipitation in contact with the galvanized roofing
of the production/manufacturing/ warehouse building.
While replacing the entire facility with non -galvanized roofing would have been significantly cost prohibitive,
Jacobsen hired consultants and vendors to design and install filters/mist eliminators as structural controls on
the paint line exhausts to minimize the potential for condensation of paint/chemicals on the production
building roof which could possibly lead to metals stripping from the galvanized roofing, and thereby to
stormwater runoff during precipitation events.
Exhaust vent sampling for particulate emissions (PM) were conducted before and after the structural controls
(filters/mist eliminators) were installed and are presented in Table 2 below. Please note that these filters were
installed at significant capital costs totaling approximately eighty thousand dollars ($80,000) and were
operational as of December 2015. As can be observed, the results of the exhaust emissions sampling indicate
that the structural controls instituted have been successful in controlling the PM emissions and therefore
should be successful in reduction of Copper and Zinc in the facility stormwater runoff.
As such, we feel that Jacobsen has spent considerable resources in trying to meet the extremely low
benchmarks for Total Copper and Zinc in our General Permit. Therefore, we are respectfully requesting that
the facility be removed from the tiered status and the monthly monitoring stipulations of the General Permit
and be allowed to revert back to semi-annual stormwater monitoring for the remainder of the permit term.
Jacobsen is committed and dedicated to pollution control in all areas of production and we appreciate your
review and favorable response to our request. If you have any questions or we may be of further assistance in
this matter, please contact me at [phone]. `,q ^l 2 /"9/2_0/4

COC Number NCG030306

Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG030000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit 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 October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG030000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of Stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning an the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/current-
notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit
http://portal.ncdenr.orpjweb/wci/ws su n dessw (click on 'General Permits' tab) to review that information
for your specific General Permit carefully.

Some of the changes include:
Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections 8, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections 8, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/1 for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C. The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections 8, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections 8, C.• The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Emit at [phone].

The intent of this letter is to provide a status on the progress Jacobson, General Permit COC No. NCG030306 has
made in reapplying for the facility's stormwater discharge permit. In brief, Jacobsen's current permit expires on
August 30, 2007. Per the -specified application process, we have been collecting daily rainfall samples since July 171h,
2007. Unfortunately, because of the drought situation that is currently impacting the Charlotte area, we have not been
able to obtain analytical results from any discharge from our Outfall during this time. All of our run-off flows to a
stormwater pond and is discharged via a single Outfall. Visual monitoring of the stormwater pond occurs with each
rainstorm, but to date we have not received enough rain to result in a discharge from the Outfall. Accordingly, we
will continue to visually monitor the pond, collect rainfall data, and try to collect stormwater samples of the pond
discharge in accordance with the permit..
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this process, please feel free to contact me directly at [phone].

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal 4
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). if you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htmi
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 548

Dear Permittee:
Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG030000. This permit expires
on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have
the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for
continued coverage under the reissued permit.
In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in
advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal
Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued
coverage under the general permit.
Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger
penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility
without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial
facilities in any of the 11 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except
construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial
materials and operations are not exposed to Stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional
information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General
Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/su/stormwater.htmi
If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed
Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the
rescission process has been completed.
If you have any questions regarding the permit renewal procedures please contact Mike Parker of the Mooresville
Re-ional Office at 704-663-1699 or Bill Mills of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at [phone], ext. 548
