Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit April 2019 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);' • 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). 1 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. 3 The intent .is to provide predictability to the inspection schedule.

Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCGO1 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 N01 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 NCGO1 by completing an a-NOI (available at dep.nc.gov/NCG01). The a-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 NCGO1 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 NCGO1 COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at DEMLR. ROY COOPER Energy, Mineral and LandResources ILNVtROµMENTAL QUALITY Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS Announcement of Combined Self -Monitoring and Self -Inspection Form Director The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act was amended in 2006 to require that persons responsible for land -disturbing activities inspect a project after each phase of the project to make sure that the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is being followed. Rules detailing the documentation of these inspections became effective October 1, 2010. To simplify document of Self -Inspection Reports and NPDES Self -Monitoring Reports, a combined form is now available. The new form was developed to satisfy the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activities, NCG 010000. Beginning August 1, 2013, the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources is responsible for administering both the SPCA and the NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activities- NCG 010000. The combined form should make it easier to comply with self -inspection requirements. The Combined Self -Monitoring form is available as a PDF and Word document from the Land Quality web site. htt Rortal,ncdenr.orgZweb/Ir/erosion If you have questions, please contact the Land Quality Section at a DEQ Regional Office State oFNorth Caroline I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 J Wiaston-Salem, NC 27105 336 776-9800 Phone/ 336 776-9797 FAX
