Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal COC #NCG180104
Dear Permittee:
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit for NCG180000, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is notifying you that your reissued Certificate of
Coverage (COC) is available. This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended.) You must do three things:
(1) You must access and print a copy of your new Certificate of Coverage (COC) via this
website: https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-COC-Renewal
(2) Also, you must obtain a copy of the new NCG180000 General Permit from our website
here: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-stormwater-gps.
In addition to the full permit, the 2019 print package on the website includes revised monitoring
forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations with
respect to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the
new permit to familiarize yourself with all changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six
months from receipt of the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
to reflect any new permit requirements.
(3) In preparation for electronic DMR (eDMR) reporting, please enter your stormwater
discharge outfall (SDO) locations here:

How does the new General Permit affect Tier Status?
The first sampling period in this General Permit began August 1, 2019. Tier 3 actions in Part IV
of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the
effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions are
triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances. However, if your facility is already in Tier 2
(monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue monthly monitoring
until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval.
When does electronic DMR reporting start?
We are working toward on -boarding permittees with NPDES stormwater permits into the DEQ's
eDMR system next year. Permittees will receive notification when our eDMR system is
ready for registration to begin reporting monitoring data electronically.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of
DEMLR. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may
be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), nor does it relieve the
permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local
law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
If you have any questions regarding this renewal permit, please contact the DEMLR Stormwater
Program at [phone].
Sincerely,
for S. Daniel Smith
Director, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources
