The enclosed Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC 413 .0129. As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the NCG010000 Construction General Permit. After the form is reviewed and found to be complete, you will receive a link with payment instructions for the $100 annual permit fee. After the fee is received, you will receive the COC via email. You MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement of any land disturbing activity. The eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette.Lucas(a)nedenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul. Clark(.ncdenr.gov. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC. Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGOI permit require that the following documentation be kept on file at the job site: 1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation. 2. The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received. 3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months. -� ��� ,„1,, Nc��ti Ca r>I r� t C a tr.�e t u n:'3 3 ire n ai ��u li � i� 3 �cr of L{�fryy P:,in of a rs � (�� •:u F> Fact Sheet on the New N0001 Permit ---, April 2019Z1�1¢� 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 Annette.lucas@ncdenr.gov or (919) 707-3639. 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);i • 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);' • 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. Z 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 DEMLR: 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 NCG01 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 deq.nc.gov/NCG01). The e-N01 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.
