ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under
the federal Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for
implementation in North Carolina. The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges
was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant
sources.
Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten
categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit,
depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There
are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is
applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to
develop and implement site -specific comprehensive stormwater pollution prevention plans
(SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and
operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge.
Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following
webpage: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage
under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this web site.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help
bring your attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your
permit. That said, please see the above mentioned web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit
such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to properly comply
with conditions of the permit, like those bulletcd below, constitutes violations and are
subject civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain
permit coverage under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES
stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) by the filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and
Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (N01) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior
to any discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process
wastewater, and/or mine dewatering.
o Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a
Certificate of Coverage (COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the
facility is covered by the General Permit. That is, the permtttee is authorized to discharge
stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine dewatering pursuant to the type of General
Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
o Any other point source discharge to surface water of the state is prohibited unless it is an
allowable non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization or
approval.
