RE: Stormwater General Permit COC No. NCG100151 Renewal
Dear NPDES Permittee:
The General Permit this facility (Lifetime Audi Parts) is covered under was re -issued on November 16, 2017 for a year
(expiration October 31, 2018). Our records indicate that your annual fees are up to date; therefore, your coverage has
been renewed. There were no changes to the General Permit, and semi-annual monitoring (if it applies to your site)
should continue during the next year. The General Permit cover page was revised with new effective and expiration
dates. Please maintain your original COC along with this cover page for your records. You can find a copy of the entire
General Permit on our website at https:Hdeg.nc.goy/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-industrial-
ctnrmwatpr
Although your COC has been renewed successfully, the following item requires your action: You must submit outfall
information on-line for this site if you have not done so already. This action is necessary to prepare for electronic data
monitoring report (eDMR) requirements.
To submit outfall information to DEQ: Go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall number, type of
discharge, receiving water information and other details. The website will walk you through all steps.
The website is: https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/stormwater-program/stormwater-outfall-collection
Submitting Outfall Information for E -Reporting
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Electronic Reporting Rule in December 2015. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report certain information
electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The first phase of the rule required regulated entities to submit Data
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on December 21, 2016, but our system is not yet ready forstormwater
permittees. EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDM R System to include Stormwater Program DM R
reporting.
Currently eDMR is only available to NPDES wastewater permit holders. As soon as eDMR is available for your permit, we
will notify you (please do not try to register your stormwater permit for eDMR yet). In the meantime, we must collect
information about the discharge outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to EPA as per the federal
rule. Thank you for assisting us with this process by submitting your stormwater outfall point locations.
TIPS FOR ENTERING OUTFALLS
Do NOT submit outfalls that are not covered by your NPDES Stormwater Permit (for example, outfalls from
employee parking lots that have NO industrial activity).
DO submit outfalls that discharge stormwater with industrial activity, even if they require visual monitoring only (no
analytical sampling). While electronic reporting does not apply to visual monitoring, we do need outfall
information. Noting "visual only" in the outfall Description field is helpful.

For questions or assistance with submitting your outfalls on-line, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone] or
via email at [e-mail], or Robert Patterson at [phone] or via email at
[e-mail]. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DEMLR, visit:
https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/stormwater/ereporting-rule.
This General Permit expires again in October. Then what?
We will be in touch again soon! All permittees who do not owe fees will again be renewed coverage
automatically. Please review your permit contact information and let us know about any changes. Make sure the e-mail
address for the Owner Affiliation and/or Permit Contact are correct. We plan to email information about accessing
renewal COCs through our website once these General Permits have been renewed.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DEMLR. This permit does not
affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the N.C. Department of Environmental
Quality, nor does it relieve the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or
local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree.
Sincerely,
The Stormwater Program
