AprilFact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit
The NC Construction General Permit(also known as C o1")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 NCGO1 permit through an electronic
process, DE MLR worked with a broad tears of stakeholders.to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at Annette,lucas ncdenr, ov or(919)707-3639.
