COC No. NCG030686
Catawba County
In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on September 6, 2017, we are
forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage (COC) to discharge under the subject state —
NPDES general permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
We apologize for the lengthy processing time for this coverage to be issued. We held the application
until General Permit NCG030000 was renewed on November 16, 2017. Since then, our program has
been renewing several other General Permits, and limited resources to handle both these renewals and
other projects has delayed issuance of a new permit.
Please note that the NCG030000 General Permit was recently renewed with no changes for about a
year, and it expires on October 31, 2018. Semi-annual monitoring as outlined in the permit should
continue through that time. Next year we anticipate this general permit to be modified and renewed
for another five years. Typically all permit COCs are renewed automatically once the General Permit
is finalized, unless there are outstanding annual fees. There is no need to reapply for a renewal unless
the Division directs you to do so. Be sure to check our program website for updates and public notice
of proposed renewal actions in 2018.

government permit that may be required.
