Annual Certification Form for the-t*,,vi U 1'..
Construction StormwaterProgram
OVERVIEW
Please read the following as it contains useful information that will help you better understand and complete this form.
Before filling out this form:
• Be sure that an Annual Certification has not already been completed for this year! Check your permit folder in our on-line
Repository.
• Go to our website and check the current information we have on file by running a State Stormwater Permit Summary Report.
• Get a copy of the most recently issued post-construction stormwater permit and plans for the project. Hard copies of these items should
have been sent to the Applicant once the permit was issued.The post-construction stormwater permit will have a permit number(on the
cover letter and at the top of each page of the permit)in the form"SW#######"(where the V"symbols are usually numbers but can
also be letters). If you do not have a copy of the permit or plans,they can either be found in our online repository or by contacting
the DEMLR office that issued the permit. For additional assistance,send an email to [e-mail]
• Ensure that the correct person is filling out this form.This certification form must be completed by the Permittee(listed on the permit)or
by a Designee of the Permittee.This form does not need to be completed by an engineer or other licensed professional.
d NOTE: For permits that have multiple Permittees,only one Annual Certification per permit needs to be submitted. Each separate
Permittee is not required to submit their own Annual Certification.
Why is an annual certification required?
• The annual permit certification on conformance with permitting conditions is required per G.S. 143-214.7(b4): "New stormwater permits
and stormwater permits that are reissued due to transfer, modification,or renewal shall require the permittee to submit an annual
certification on the project's conformance with permit conditions.The annual certification shall be completed by the permit holder or their
designee.The Department shall not require the annual certification to be completed by another party besides the permit holder or their
designee.The Department shall provide an electronic means of submittal for the permit holder or their designee to satisfy the annual
certification requirement.The addition of annual certification requirements to an existing permit or certification shall not be considered to
be a new or increased stormwater control."-G.S. 143-214.7(b4)
• The annual certification supports the Permittee by ensuring that they are aware of and are meeting all of the permitting conditions that
are required per the permit.
An annual certification must be completed each year on or before the day of the year on which the permit was issued.
For example, if a permit was issued on April 15,2022,the first annual certification for that permit would be due on or before April 15,2023;
the second annual certification would be due on or before April 15,2024;and each subsequent annual certification would be due on or
before April 15th of that year until the permit is reissued(at which point the day of the year that the permit was reissued would become the
new annual certification date).
About Saving Drafts of this Form:
If you are unable to complete the entire Annual Certification Form in one sitting,the form can be saved by clicking the"Save as Draft"
button at the bottom of any section and resuming at a later time.You will provide an email and password(set specifically for the current
project form)so you can access the form again when the link is sent to that email address. Do not upload any documents to the draft
until you are ready to submit the form,or you may encounter problems submitting it. If this happens, remove and re-upload
attachments to submit. IMPORTANT: pre-populated information that has been updated on our end since you started the draft may not

D. Site Conformance with Permit
Section D - Site Conformance with Permit
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
The following statements of project conformance for this project are in roughly the same order as they appear in the permit. Certain
sections below may not be included in your permit(especially for permits that were originally issued prior to 2017), in which case, please
answer"N/A"and indicate that these conditions are not included in the permit in the provided text box. Please answer the following
statements about the current project conformance with the permitting conditions(Any answers of"N/A"will require an explanation in the
provided text box,and any answers of"No"will require an explanation and a corrective action plan in Section E):
NOTE: Unless a specific statute is cited,the provided definitions below are not technical definitions(and should not be used as such), but
rather are approximate definitions that should allow the layperson to reasonably understand and certify their conformance with permitting
conditions.
Built-Upon Area(BUA)
BUA generally refers to impervious surfaces(impervious surfaces are surfaces that do not allow stormwater to infiltrate through them,
such as roofs, roadways,sidewalks,etc.)BUA is defined in G.S. 143-214.7(b2).
1. Maximum BUA not The maximum allowable BUA for the entire project has NOT been exceeded.
exceeded?* Yes
No
N/A
The amount of BUA allocated to the project should be included in the permit and/or the permitting
documents.
2.SCM BUA not HIGH DENSITY PROJECTS ONLY:The maximum allowable BUA within the drainage area(s)to the
exceeded?* Stormwater Control Measures(SCMs)has(have)NOT been exceeded.
Yes
No
N/A
The amount of BUA allocated to the SCM should be included in the permit and/or the permitting
documents.
The project density should be indicated on the permit.As a general rule of thumb, high-density projects include an SCM (such as a pond)
to treat stormwater runoff,while low-density projects are not required to include an SCM and rely on vegetated areas to provide treatment.
Projects that are entirely low-density should answer"N/A". SCM is defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1002(49)
3.Individual lot BUA not SUBDIVISIONS ONLY:The maximum allowable BUA for the individual lots has NOT been exceeded.
exceeded?* Yes
No
N/A
If a project is a subdivision, it should be indicated on the permit.A subdivision project can be a
residential subdivision,a commercial subdivision,or a mixture of the two.
Explain:* Provide a detailed explanation about why this item is not applicable for this project.
not a subdivision

4. BUA as shown on The BUA is as shown on the approved permit documents.
plans?* Yes
No
N/A
The BUA footprints for individual lots of a subdivision are not typically shown on the plans since the
exact layouts of the houses/driveways/etc.on the lots is not known at the time of permitting. Instead,
each lot is typically allocated an amount of BUA that they can use which should be indicated in the
permitting documents.
Stormwater Control Measures(SCMs)and/or Low-Density Areas
There are SCM Inspection Forms and videos available on our website that can help you determine if the SCM(s)is(are)in conformance.
(NOTE: Not all SCMs currently have an inspection form or video on that website.)
5.SCM(s)and/or low- The SCM(s)and/or low-density area(s)are in accordance with the approved permit documents.
density area(s)per Yes
plans?
No
N/A
Low-density projects typically do not have SCM(s),and high-density projects typically do not have low-
density areas.This should be indicated in the permitting documents.
6.SCM(s)and/or low- The SCM(s)and/or low-density area(s)is(are)accessible for access and maintenance(as
density area(s)are applicable).
accessible?* Yes
No
N/A
Generally speaking,you should be able to drive a maintenance vehicle,such as a pickup truck,to the SCM(s)and/or low-density area(s)
to perform required maintenance tasks.Current specific maintenance access requirements are outlined in 15A NCAC 02H .1050(8).
Stormwater Outlets
A stormwater outlet is any location that stormwater runoff(water,from rain or snow,that flows across the ground)leaves a pipe or a ditch.
7.Stormwater outlets The stormwater outlets are free of erosion.
are stable?* Yes
No
N/A
Erosion occurs when material,such as soil, is worn away from where it should be.The presence of
bare soil without vegetation indicates that erosion is occurring.Typically,the area immediately
downstream of a pipe(and sometimes a ditch)is covered in rocks(called riprap)that help prevent
erosion. It is important for the riprap to be free of debris and sediment to function properly.
Vegetative Setbacks
Vegetated setbacks(which may also be referred to as"vegetated buffers"in certain permits)refer to vegetated areas directly adjacent to
surface waters(such as lakes, rivers,streams,etc.)These vegetated areas are required to help protect the surface waters from
stormwater runoff,are typically required to be free of BUA",and the widths of these vegetated areas are measured perpendicularly from
the bank or normal water surface elevation of the surface water(it should also be clearly indicated on the approved plans).A surface water
may not be readily visible when inspecting the project;some surface waters are ephemeral (meaning that they are dry for part of the year),
but the surface waters should be indicated on the approved plans and/or USGS topographic map in the permitting documents.
There are certain types of BUA that may be allowable within this vegetated area, but they should be clearly indicated on the approved
plans.

B.Vegetated setbacks The vegetated setbacks are in accordance with the approved permit documents.
per plans?* Yes
No
N/A
These requirements vary depending on a number of factors so you will need to refer to the permit for
the project-specific requirements.
Recorded Documents
Recorded documents help ensure that the site is accessible for State inspections and that the permitting conditions will be met in
perpetuity.

No
N/A
Example deed restriction forms can be found on our website.
Construction
During construction,vegetated ground cover is often removed from the project area.Without the vegetation to hold the soil in place,
controlling erosion and sediment on-site is critically important,especially since fine sediment particles can clog certain SCMs and prevent
them from functioning properly. In addition,certain SCMs may be used during project construction to provide E&SC protection but must be
cleaned out and converted to the approved SCM configuration before the construction can be considered"finished."If you are not sure if
the Erosion&Sediment Control(E&SC)Plan for the project is being/was followed,the developer or contractor that is performing the
construction should be able to inform you.Generally speaking, projects that require a post-construction stormwater permit will also require
an E&SC plan that outlines the E&SC practices that are being provided for this project during the different phases of construction.
13.O&M being Operation and maintenance are being performed in accordance with the approved Erosion and
performed per E&SC Sediment Control(E&SC)Plan.
