McBryde Farm Pit
NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG020936
Dear NPDES Permittee:
The General Permit this facility is covered under expires on September 30, 2020. 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: https://deg.nc.gov/SW-industrial.
The Stormwater Program posted the draft General Permit for public comment in mid -July. The public
comment period concludes in mid -August, and the new General Permit is scheduled to become
effective on October 1, 2020. Upon issuance of the final General Permit, we will send you instructions
about obtaining your new Certificate of Coverage (COC).
Although renewed coverage will be 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
August 31, 2020.
(2) You must submit stormwater outfall information on-line no later than September 30, 2020 in
preparation for electronic data monitoring report (eDMR) requirements.

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. To meet this
requirement, the Stormwater Program is planning for this group of permittees to begin reporting in
eDMR beginning on July 1, 2021.
As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you. To prepare for eDMR, the Stormwater
Program is collecting information about the discharge outfalls at your facility so that the system can
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, and other details no later than September 30,
2020. The website will walk you through all steps.
The website is: https://deg.nc.gov/about/stormwater-program/stormwater-outfall-collection
Until eDMR goes into effect, please follow this revised process for submitting paper DMRs:
Download the applicable updated DMR form from the NPDES Stormwater Industrial website (go
to.https://deg.nc.gov/SW-industrial and navigate to "General Permits").
Complete, sign, scan and upload the DMR within 30 days of receiving sampling results with this
form: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/SW-DMR.
Mail the original, signed hard copy of the DMR to the appropriate DEMLR Regional
Office (https://deg.nc.gov/contact/regional-offices). Do notsend DMRs to Central Files in
Raleigh! This is a change from current practice.
You should expect instructions about obtaining your renewal Certificate of Coverage (COC) on-line
sometime in October. Please check the NPDES industrial stormwater section of our website and navigate
to your specific General Permit for more updates as the renewal approaches.
For questions about permit contact changes, please contact Suzanne McCoy at [phone] or at
[e-mail]. For questions about outfall entries, please contact Bethany Georgoulias
via email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
