Dear Permittee:
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG080000 the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued stormwater General Permit. "rhis 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 December
6, 1983.
The following, information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage
• A copy of stormwater General Permit NCG080000
• A copy of a Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
• Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Forin
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to
stormmwater discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last Certificate of Coverage include the following:
• Part I Section A — A new notation that the No Exposure Exclusion from permitting option may be available to
the permittee.
• Part I Section A — A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters, or in watersheds with an
approved TMDL, may not be eligible for renewed coverage under the General Permit.
• Part II Section B Table 1 — An increased sampling frequency from once per year to twice per year.
• Part II Section B Table 3 — Benchmark concentrations now replace cutoff concentrations- the elimination of
the option to avoid sampling based on cutoff concentrations.

Part 1I Section B —New provisions requiring the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response
actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence (Tier One) and the second consecutive benchmark
exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the pennittee institute monthly monitoring instead of twice -
per -year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences.
Part II Section B - A new provision that four exceedenees of any particular benchmark will trigger increased
DWQ involvement in the permittee's storniwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the
permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific
stormwater control measures.
DWQ received a number of comments on a series of general permits similar to this one. A full response to
comments can be found at http://newaterquaIity.org/su/genera]pennitinfo.htm. Some comments resulted in permit
modifications, others are addressed in the response document or Fact Sheet. A few specific requests for
clarification are addressed below.
l . What is the deadline far having a revised SPPP that reflects the provisions of the new General Permit?
DWQ will require that the permittee have a revised, complete SPPP no later than six months after the date of
issue of that permittee's new Certificate of Coverage.
2. Must analytical results be by a certified lab? What about pH measurements? All analytical results obtained
to satisfy NPDES permit requirements must be by EPA approved methods. DWQ certification is not required
for stormivaler analytical results. Analytical results for wastewater analyses are required to be by DWQ
certified labs or analysts. Field pH measurements are subject to the -same requirements as to EPA method
(stormwater and wastewater), and as to certification (wastewater only).
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. The Division may
require modification and reissuance of the certificate of coverage.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, 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 permit package please contact Sarah Young of the Central Office Stornrwater
Permitting Unit at [phone].
