REGAN Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director Troy Morris The Harbor Master Inc PO Box 1048 Morehead City, NC 285571048 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 27, 2020 Subject: NPDES General Permit Renewal and Electronic Reporting Requirements The Harbor Master Marina - Morehead City NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG190013 Dear Permittee: For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG190000, issued on October 1, 2020, 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 two 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-RenewaI (2) Also, you must obtain a copy of the new NCG190000 General Permit from our website here: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-stormwater-gps. In addition to the full permit, the 2020 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. How does the new General Permit affect Tier Status? The first sampling period in this General Permit began October 1, 2020. Sampling prior to this date may not be used to satisfy semi-annual requirements. Also, Tier 3 actions 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 D E Q�� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 1 1612 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 NORTH CAROLINA oena am. EnW ..' Q.sifty 919.707.9200 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. Electronic DMR Reporting Information 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. As a reminder, until eDMR goes into effect, please follow this revised process for submitting paper DMRs and uploading a copy to your permit file: Complete, sign, scan and upload the DMR within 30 days of receiving sampling results with this form: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/SW-DMR. Mail the original, signed hard copy of the DMR to the appropriate DEMLR Regional Office (https://deg.nc.gov/contact/regional-offices). Do notsend DMRs to Central Files in Raleigh! This is a change from past practice. 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. For questions about the General Permit, please contact Paul Clark at (919) 707-3642 or at paul.clark@ncdenr.gov. For questions about on-line COCs, please contact Bethany Georgoulias via email at bethany.georgoulias@ncdenrgov.
