with the condition of this general permit.
3) Bypassing of Stormwater Control Facilities
a) Bypass Not Exceeding Limitations.
The pennittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation or as part
of a planned action specified in the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Permit.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs b. and c. of this section.
b) Notice
i) Anticipated bypass - If the pennittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an

the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment or control facilities,
Page 10 of 16
inadequate treatment or control facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or
improper operation.
b) Effect of an Upset - An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of
paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of
claims that noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is
final administrative action subject to judicial review.
c) Conditions Necessary for a Demonstration of Upset - A pennittee who wishes to establish the
affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous
operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
i) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
ii) The permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
iii) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in this general perinit, and,

SECTION V
PERMIT ADMINISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE ISSUES
1) Time of compliance — Erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be maintained, and self -
monitoring shall continue, after the completion of constriction and development until the
establishment of permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion or until the financially
responsible party has conveyed ownership or control of the tract of land for which the erosion and
sedimentation control plan has been approved and the agency that approved the plan has been
notified. If the financially responsible party has conveyed ownership or control of the tract of land
for which the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan has been approved, the new owner or
person in control shall conduct and document self -monitoring until the establishment of permanent
ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion.
Upon establishment of permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion, the pennittee shall
request an inspection by the pernitting authority to verify the adequacy of the ground cover.
Coverage tinder the permit shall end when a Sedimentation Inspection Report is issued
documenting the final stabilization of the site with adequate permanent ground cover. The signed
Sedimentation Inspection Report shall serve as a notice of termination.
2) Operation efficiency - During construction and until the completion of construction or
development and the establishment of permanent stabilization, the permittee shall provide the
operation and maintenance necessary to operate the storm water control measures and all erosion
and sedimentation control measures at optimum efficiency.
3) Corrective action - If inspections required by this permit identify a need for maintenance of control
measures, modifications or additions to control measures, or corrective actions to control sediment
Page 11 of 16
or other pollutants these actions must be performed as soon as possible and before the next storm
event to maintain the effectiveness of the control measures.
4) Duty to Comply - The pennittee must comply with all conditions of this general permit. Any
perinit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for
enforcement action; certificate of coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or
modification; or denial of a certificate of coverage upon renewal application.
a) The pennittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under section
307(a) of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants and with standards for sewage sludge use or
disposal established under section 405(d) of the CWA within the time provided in the

SECTION VII
DEFINITIONS
1) Act or "the Act'' or C WA - The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean
Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq.
2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) - Schedules of activities, prohibitions of practices,
maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of
waters of the United States. BMPs also include treatment requirements, operation procedures,
and management practices to control site runoff, spillage or leaks, sludge or waste disposal, or
drainage from raw material storage.
3) Bypass - The intentional diversion of stormmwater from any portion of a stormwater control
facility.
4) Control Measures - Refers to any BMP or other structural or non-structural practices and
procedures used to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants including practices to control
erosion and sedimentation.
5) Director - The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
6) Division - The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, and Natural Resources.
7) EMC - The North Carolina Environmental Management Corrunission.
8) Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan - A plan developed in compliance with the North
Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 to prevent the erosion and deposition of
sediment and other materials into the waters of the State from construction or other land -
disturbing activities that disturb one or more acres of land. Each plan must be approved by the
NC Sedimentation Control Commission or a program delegated by the Commission to a local
government.
9) Ground cover - Any vegetative growth or other material which, when applied to the soil
surface, renders the soil surface stable against accelerated erosion.
10) Normal Business Hours - These are generally considered to be between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6

programs. The Land Quality Section of the Division of Land Resources and the Surface Water
Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality maintain a Memorandum of Understanding that
specifies specific roles of the two divisions and the local programs and will be used to assign
specific control and oversight activities between the agencies.
12) Permanently Cease - When all or part of the land disturbing activity is complete and no additional
alteration or disturbance of the land surface is planned prior to final stabilization.
13) Permanent Stabilization - When all soil disturbing activity is completed and exposed soils have been
stabilized with a vegetative cover with a density of at least 80% or covered with a structural
stabilization method. Permanent perennial vegetation may include the use of sod, shrubs and ground
cover plants mixed with mulching, aggregate or other landscaping techniques. Strichiral methods
