Subject: NPDES General Permit Renewal and Electronic Reporting Requirements

NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG030088
Dear NPDES Permittee:
TRACY DAVIS
Director
The General Permit this facility is covered under expires on October 31, 2017. 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 Stormwater Program plans to reissue this General Permit for one year with no changes. This
action has been posted for public comment on our website above (see the table of General Permits) and
published in area newspapers statewide. The public comment period for the reissuance action concludes
on November 1, 2017, and the new General Permit is scheduled to become effective on November 16,
2017. Upon issuance of the final General Permit, your coverage will be renewed for the one year
period. Instead of being mailed new Certificates of Coverage (CDCs), each permittee should print off
the new General Permit Cover Page from our Stormwater Program website (with revised effective and
expiration dates) after issuance in mid-November.
Although the renewal process is automatic this year, two items require your action:
(1) You must review your permit Contact information and notify us of any changes no later
than November 15, 2017.
(2) You must submit outfall information on-line for this site in preparation for electronic data
monitoring report (eDMR) requirements no later than November 30, 2017.
Permit Contact Information
Please review the permit contact information we have in our database. You can do this by clicking on
the "review the permit contacts for your facility" link on the website above and entering your permit
COC number. Ensure that Owner Affiliation and Permit Contact are accurate, and that e-mail addresses
are provided. (Note that if you already did this recently, we may not have entered the changes yet.)
Nothing Compares�,

To update contact information for your permit: you may simply e-mail us changes to contact
information, unless there is a change to the Owner Affiliation. Because Owner Affiliation is the person
legally responsible for the permit, we require a copy of the signed Owner Affiliation Change Form (on
our website) to make this change. Be aware that a change in company name or ownership requires a
different form (also on the website), so please contact us if you have questions about which form you
need. Changes to other contacts can be e-mailed to Laura Alexander at [e-mail].
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 required regulated entities
to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016.
We realize that deadline has passed, and 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: 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 November 30, 2017. The website will walk you through all steps.
