Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E„ Director Division of Water Quality September 4, 2002 Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal Charlotte-mcdowell Creek Wwtp COC Number NCG110011 Mecklenburg County Your facility is currently covered for stormwater discharge under General Permit NCG110000. This permit expires on March 31, 2003. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have the permit reissued by early spring of 2003. 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 coverage will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a Permit Coverage Renewal Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by October 2, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. Due to staff and budget constraints, letters confirming our receipt of the completed application will not be sent. Failure to request renewal within the time period specified, 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 1 I 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 facility 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.htm] 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 Mack Wiggins of the Central Office Stormwater Unit at (919) 733-5083, ext. 542 Bradley Bennett, Supervisor Stormwater and General Permits Unit cc: Central Files Stormwater and General Permits Unit Files Mooresville Regional Office N.
