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 Annette.Iucas@ncdenr.gov or(919) 707-6369.
