RE: [External] Matheson Tri-Gas NCS000462
Amanda,
Thank you for your email.
We have a significant backlog of NPDES industrial stormwater individual permit renewals. Within the next
month, a new person who will focus on this task will join our team. Hopefully, with this additional staff
member, we will be able to catch up in the next year or two.
In the meantime, Matheson Tri-Gas is allowed to continue discharging under the current expired NCS000462
permit as long as they remain current on their stormwater permit fees and comply with the other provisions
of the permit.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Sincerely,
Annette

Hello,
We have been assisting Matheson with their environmental permitting. They applied for a renewal of their stormwater
permit in 2017. Via electronic mail in 2018, the Department indicated that the application was in-house, but that the
Department was backlogged and it had not been reviewed (correspondence is attached). Additionally, Matheson has
regularly checked the NC DEQ Maps & Permits website to check the status of the permit application. The project type
had indicated it was "renewal" and the current status was listed as "in review'. However, today the website indicates
that the permit status is "expired". May you please provide an update on this permit, as well as, let us know if anything
additional is needed?
Thank you for your time.

Andy,
As we discussed earlier today the Matheson Tri-Gas facility has made their renewal application to
NCDEMLR and we do have the application in-house. We currently have a pretty large backlog of
individual permit renewals in-house and we have not yet started on this renewal. In the interim the
facility continues to be covered by their by their previous permit and they should abide by those
permit conditions.
If you have any other questions please feel free to call (Note new phone number below)

Bradley,
I am contacting you in regards to the Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. Wake Forest facility and the NPDES
Stormwater Permit No. NCS000462. Can you please provide confirmation that the permit application
was received? Also, since the new permit has not been issued can you please confirm that this
facility should operate under the previous permit until the new permit has been issued?
Thank you,
