Dear Permittee:
Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Certificate of Coverage Number NCGNE0062
Hickory Springs Manufacturing Company - Allen -Beck
Sewing
Caldwell County
On 3/24/2010, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind your coverage under
Certificate of Coverage Number NCGNE0062. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage
Number NCGNE0062 is rescinded effective immediately.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 perni t
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 Asheville Regional Office at NPDES SW.

Dear Permittee:
The Division has reviewed your submittal of the No -Exposure Certification for Exclusion from NPDES
Stormwater Permitting form, which we received on October 6, 2004. We apologize for the extended period it
has taken us to get back to you on this request and we appreciate your patience as we have worked through
this process. Based on your submittal and signed certification of no exposure at the above referenced facility
the Division is granting your certification as provided for under 40 CFR 126.22(g) which is incorporated by
reference in North Carolina regulations.
Please note that by our acceptance of your no exposure certification, you are obligated to maintain no
exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such that your facility can no longer qualify for a no -
exposure exclusion, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit coverage for your stormwater
discharge. Otherwise, the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-permitted discharge. Your
conditional no -exposure exclusion expires in five years (April 30, 2010). At that time you must re -certify with
the Division, or obtain NPDES permit coverage for any stormwater discharges from your facility.
Your certification of no exposure does not affect your facility's legal requirements to obtain environmental
permits that may be required under other federal, state, or local regulations or ordinances.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Jonathan Diggs at [phone] ext.
537, or at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Alan W. Klimek, P.E.
