Cover Sheet for State Stormwater Permit Revised January 2011
Why was a state stormwater permit required for my project?
Stormwater runoff is the #1 cause of water pollution in North Carolina. This
permit protects water quality by ensuring that stormwater Best Management
Practices are put in place to control stormwater runoff after a construction
project is completed. Projects are permitted as either Low Density or High
Density development.
There are several factors that can trigger the need for this permit. It is required
for all projects that add impervious surfaces for residential, commercial,
industrial or institutional use and meet the criteria below.
1. Project is located in any one of the following:
• The 20 coastal counties.
• Area that drains to Outstanding Resource Waters.
• Area that drains High Quality Waters.
• Area subject to Phase 11.
AND
II. Any one of the following applies:
• Requires a permit and soil and erosion control plan from the N.C. Division
of Land Resources (disturbance of one acre or more).
• Requires a CAMA Major Permit.
• Contains more than 10,000 square feet of new built -upon area.
• Is part of a larger Common Plan of Development.
This permit is required by stale law and is separate from any other permit(s)
required for construction. Once issued, low density project permits remain in
effect in perpetuity. High density project permits must be renewed, usually
every 10 years. Under both types of permits, on -site stormwater management
must be maintained for as long as the impervious surfaces exist.
Stormwater runoff
threatens North Carolina's
environment and
economy. Afferheavy
rainfall, shellfish
bed closings and
health -related swimming
advisories increase
dramatically.
What does this permit require me to do?
Key requirements of the permit include:
Deed Restrictions
and Protective Covenants
Prior to the sale of any lot or
outparcel, projects for residential and
commercial use must record
restrictive covenants with the county
Register of Deeds. These covenants
address the location of all drainage
easements, prohibit the alteration of
approved stormwater controls and
piping of swales or roof drains and
specify the maximum amount of built
-upon area allowed per lot.
Operation
and Maintenance
The long-term operation and
maintenance of the approved
stormwater system is the:
responsibility of the permit holder for
as long' as impervious surfaces exist
unless the permit is formally
transferred to another responsible
party (such as a homeowners
association) through DWQ's transfer
approval process.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Designer's Certification
Upon completion of construction, a
stormwater system designer must

The permittee is responsible for
verifying that the actual built -upon
area (including, but not limited to,
driveways, roofs, walkways,

exceed the allowable built -upon area
as specified in the permit and the
restrictive covenants or deeds.

Do you need more information?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON TRANSFERRING PERMITS
This permit is not transferrable through sale to any person or entity except
after notice to, and approval by, the Division of Water Quality- The permit
holder is responsible for compliance with all permit conditions until an official
transfer request is approved by the division. Permit transfer request forms are
available at the website shown below -
The original permit holder should consider the long-term operation and
maintenance requirements of this permit and make preparations for
establishing an entity (such as a homeowners association or other perpetually
responsible entity) to which the stormwater management permit can
eventually be transferred.
Failure to establish a responsible entity (such as an homeowners
association) will result in the original permit holder retaining full
responsibility for meeting all permit conditions, including the long-term
care and maintenance of the approved stormwater management system.
