Dear Perrnittee:
On 9/17/2009, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG030414. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG030414 is rescinded effective immediately.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 will subject the responsible party to a
civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will
occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished permit coverage when, in fact, continuing permit
coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires permit coverage, you should
notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to the State's
surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform
the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone], or the Water
Quality staff in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699.
Sincerely,
An Pt, --A

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.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
