Our records indicate that your annual fees are up to date; therefore, your coverage will be automatically renewed unless you submit a rescission request for this permit. If you no longer need this permit, a rescission form can be found on our website (http://goo.gl/BcgDP4). The new General Permit NCG140000 is scheduled for public notice in May 2017. At that time, the proposed general permit will be available for public comment on our website. This notice process should conclude in June, so that the new general permit can be issued effective July 1, 2017. Upon issuance of the final general permit, your coverage will be renewed, and we will send you a new Certificate of Coverage (COC) with the new effective and expiration dates. In conjunction with this renewal process, two items require your action no later than May 31, 2017: (1) You must review your permit Contact information and notify us of any changes. (2) You must submit outfall information on-line for this site in preparation for electronic data monitoring report (eDMR) requirements.

Submitting Outfall Information for E -Reporting The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule in December 2015. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report certain information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5 -year period. The first phase requires regulated entities to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016. While that deadline has passed, EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDMR System (currently available to NPDES Wastewater Permit -holders) to include Stormwater Program DMR reporting. As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you. In the meantime, we must collect information about the discharge outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to EPA as the new federal rule mandates. To submit outfall information to DEQ: You must go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall number, type of discharge, receiving water information, representative outfall status information, and other details no later than May 31, 2017. The website will walk you through all steps. The website is: https://deg.nc.gov/about/stormwater-program/stormwater-outfall-collection The reissued general permit will include new electronic reporting requirements.
