See the Industrial Stormwater Program web site for instructions. ➢ This site will discharge to a receiving stream designated as High Quality Waters (HQW). The General Permit imposes a more stringent TSS limit and a flow limit of 50 percent of the 7Q10 base flow for all discharges to HQW-classified waters. The 7Q10 base flow for the North River at this location has not been estimated because these waters are tidally - North Carolina.

However, if dewatering flows are ever large enough to impact the uses of the receiving waters, the Division may specify a dewatering flow limit to protect its shellfishing use and aquatic life in these waters. ➢ This general permit allows the discharge of stormwater and certain types of wastewater from your facility. In your application, you specified that only wastewater would be discharged from this facility. If separate point -source discharges of stormwater occur (i.e., stormwater not combined with process wastewater), you will be required to adhere to the conditions in this permit for stormwater discharges. ➢ This project is located in one of North Carolina's 20 coastal counties. Coastal stormwater management rules (15A NCAC 2H .1000) may require an additional State Stormwater Permit (different from the NPDES mining activities discharge permit). Please contact Christine Hall in the Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 796-7339 to determine if you will be required to submit an application for a State Stormwater permit. Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except upon approval from the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (Division). The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Resources, the Coastal Area Management Act, or any other federal or local government permit that may be required. If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Brittany Carson at (919) 707-3648 or by email at brittany.carsonOncdenr.gov.
