The following information is included with your permit package: • A new Certificate of Coverage • A copy of stormwater General Stormwater Permit NCG210000 • A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit • Five copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR) Form • Five copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater only, and it specifies your obligations with respect to stormwater discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself with all the changes in the reissued permit. The more significant changes to the General Permit include the following: • Permit cover page, second paragraph—The General Permit now may cover activities that DWQ determines to be similar in either the process, or in the exposed materials,to the Timber Products Industry. • Part I Section A—A new provision that facilities draining to 303(d) listed waters,or in watersheds with an approved TMDL, may not be eligible for continued coverage at the next renewal of the General Permit. • Part I Section B second paragraph—A new clarification that the permit does not authorize discharges that DWQ determines are wastewaters. • Part II Section A—The required contents of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan have been expanded and clarified. • Part II Section B Table 1 —A new requirement to sample stormwater discharges twice per year for those facilities with exposed piles of certain materials remaining on site longer than seven days. • Part II Section B Tables 2 and 3 and following—For permittees with exposed piles,there are new provisions requiring the permittee to execute Tier One and Tier Two response actions, based on the first benchmark exceedence(Tier One)and the second consecutive benchmark exceedence (Tier Two). Tier Two requires that the permittee institute monthly monitoring instead of twice-per-year monitoring, until three consecutive monitoring events show no benchmark exceedences. • Part II Section B—For permittees with exposed piles, a new provision that four exceedences of any particular benchmark will trigger increased DWQ involvement in the permittee's stormwater management and control actions. DWQ may direct the permittee to apply for an individual permit, or may direct the implementation or installation of specific stormwater control measures. • Part II Section C—Clarification that under the qualitative monitoring provisions of the permit, the permittee is obligated to respond to repeated observations of stormwater pollution. DWQ may impose additional stormwater management requirements if the permittee is non-responsive, or if the responses are ineffective. Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ.
