NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG190084
Dear Permittee:
For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG190000, issued on October 1, 2020, the Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) is notifying you that your reissued Certificate of Coverage
(COC) is available. This permit is reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended.) You
must do two things:
(1) You must access and print a copy of your new Certificate of Coverage (COC) via this website:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-COC-RenewaI
(2) Also, you must obtain a copy of the new NCG190000 General Permit from our website here:
https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-stormwater-gps. In addition
to the full permit, the 2020 print package on the website includes revised monitoring forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations with respect
to discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six months from receipt of
the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new permit
requirements.
How does the new General Permit affect Tier Status?
The first sampling period in this General Permit began October 1, 2020. Sampling prior to this date may
not be used to satisfy semi-annual requirements. Also, Tier 3 actions are triggered by benchmark
exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior
exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions are triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances

beginning on the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. However, if your
facility is already in Tier 2 (monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) or Tier 3, you must continue
monthly monitoring until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval.
Electronic DMR Reporting Information
We are working toward on -boarding permittees with NPDES stormwater permits into the DEQ's eDMR
system next year. Permittees will receive notification when our eDMR system is ready for registration
to begin reporting monitoring data electronically.
As a reminder, until eDMR goes into effect, please follow this revised process for submitting paper
DMRs and uploading a copy to your permit file:
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 past practice.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DEMLR. This
permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the
N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), nor does it relieve the permittee from responsibility
for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order,
judgment, or decree.
For questions about the General Permit, please contact Paul Clark at [phone] or at
[e-mail]. For questions about on-line COCs, please contact Bethany Georgoulias via
email at bethany.georgoulias@ncdenrgov.
Sincerely,
for Brian Wrenn
Director, Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources
