BISER Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director David Bone, County Manager Martin County PO Box 668 Williamston, NC 278920668 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality September 6, 2022 Subject: NPDES General Permit Renewal and Electronic Reporting Requirements Martin County Airport NPDES Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG150060 Dear Permittee: For coverage under Stormwater General Permit NCG150000, issued on July 1, 2022, 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) Request and print a copy of your new Certificate of Coverage (COC) via this website: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/SW-COC-Renewal (2) Obtain a copy of the new NCG150000 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, revised monitoring forms and information about changes from the previous permit are available at that website. The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater and/or wastewater, 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.

The first sampling period in this General Permit began July 1, 2022. Sampling prior to this date may not be used to satisfy sampling 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 continue to onboard permittees with NPDES stormwater permits into the DEQ's eDMR system. If you have not yet registered to report through eDMR for this permit, please visit https://deg.nc.gov/sw- eDMR. For questions about eDMR registration, please contact Kieu Tran at kieu.tran@ncdenr.gov. As a reminder, until you are reporting monitoring data through eDMR, 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. Once registered and also reporting through eDMR, submitting paper copies or uploading them through the above form is no longer necessary. 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 Brittany Carson at brittany.carson@ncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at paul.clark@ncdenr.gov. For questions about on-line COC requests, please contact Bethany Georgoulias via email at bethany.georgoulias@ncdenr.gov.
