NCG01 Fact Sheet

Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit
March 2019
�y,nnvm oiemnmrenm a y
The NC Construction General Permit(also known as"NCG01")was renewed on March 1,2019.The updated
permit does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites.
However,there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably,
there is a new process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCGO1 permit through an
electronic process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have
questions,contact Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or(919)707-6369.
