Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal COC #NCG140219
Dear Permittee:
TRACY DAVIS
Director
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG140000, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is forwarding herewith the reissued Certificate of
Coverage (COC). 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.) A new Certificate of Coverage (COC) is included with this
letter.
You must print a copy of the new NCG140000 General Permit from our website here:
http: //deq.nc.gov/about f divisions/energyy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land-
permits/stormwater-permits/npdes-industrial-sw. In addition to the full permit, the 2017
print package on the website includes revised Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms,
Annual Discharge Monitoring Report forms, and Qualitative Monitoring Report Forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and wastewater (if applicable),
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. Significant changes to the General Permit are
outlined in the Technical Bulletin, which is also available on the website above. 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 sample period of your permit begins August 1, 2017. 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 setting up our database with final permit parameters and the outfalls that
permittees submitted on-line. All NCG14 Permittees will receive notification when our
eDMR system is ready for these permittees to register and begin reporting
monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please
contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or Robert Patterson at [phone]. If
you did not submit outfall information already, we have included a form for you to return
to us. (Note: NO FORM IS ATTACHED if we already have your outfall information.)
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 permit package please contact the DEMLR
Stormwater Permitting Program at [phone].
