Aprilact Sheet on the New
GO1 Permit
2019 /
The NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCG01") was renewed on April 1, 2019. The updated permit
does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites. However,
there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably, there is a new
process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCG01 permit through an electronic
process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or [phone].
organizational Updates
The new permit:
® Repeats state requirements for E&SC
Plans and organizes them with federal
construction activity requirements;
• Is clearly organized by topic; and
• Has less text and more tables.
Technical updates
The new permit:
® Requires that the E&SC Plan meet
SWPPP requirements (p. 2);
® Provides a list of items that must be
included in the SWPPP, such as the
construction sequence, plans,
calculations, etc. (p. 2-4);1
• Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
• Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);2
® Changes the inspection frequency
(during business hours) to at least
once per 7 calendar days and after
every storm > 1.0 inch (previously 0.5
inch);' and
• Excludes weekends, state and federal
holidays from normal business hours
unless construction activities take
place (p. 23).
This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
The number of calendar days was
selected to be as equivalent as
possible with the previous permit.
The intent is to provide predictability
to the inspection schedule.
Acronyms to Know
COC: Certificate of Coverage, proof of coverage under an NCG01 permit
©EMLR: NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
E&SC: Erosion & Sedimentation Control
e-NOI: Notice of Intent, application form for the NCG01 permit
e-NOT: Notice of Termination, form for closing out the NCG01 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCG01
The N G01 Process
The new NCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCG01 permit in the mail
with their E&SC Plan approvals and be considered as covered under the
permit. Federal rules require that DEMLR receive an NOI on each
construction project and issue each construction project its own COC.
Under the new NCG01 process, construction sites will continue to
receive approval for E&SC Plans from either DEMLR or the delegated
local E&SC program just like before. After receiving E&SC Plan approval,
permittees will officially obtain coverage under the NCG01 by
completing an e-NOI (available at deg.nc.Rov{NCG01). The e-NOI will
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and submit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NCG01
permit but on or around June 1, 2019, DEMLR will begin charging a $100
annual general permit fee as required per §143-215.3D.
DEMLR is working on creating a single application form that will allow an
applicant to simultaneously apply for an E&SC permit and an NCG01
COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
