Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number: NCG130015
NPDES Permittee:
The General Permit this facility is covered under expires on May 31, 2018. Our records indicate that your annual fees are
now up to date; therefore, your coverage will be automatically renewed unless you submit a rescission request for this
permit. If you no longer need this permit, a rescission form can be found on our
website: https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-industrial-stormwater.
The Stormwater Program will post the draft General Permit for public comment on our website above in mid-April. The
public comment period will conclude in mid-May, and the new General Permit is scheduled to become effective on June 1,
2018. Upon issuance of the final General Permit, you will be sent instructions about obtaining your new Certificate of
Coverage (COC).
Although renewed coverage will be automatic this year, two items require your action:
(1) You must review your permit contact information and notify us of any changes no later than April 30, 2018.
(2) You must submit stormwater outfall information on-line no later than May 18, 2018 in preparation for
electronic data monitoring report (eDMR) requirements.
Permit Contact Information
Please review the permit contact information we have in our database. You can do this via a link in the Manage
Information for an Existing Permit section of our website above. Ensure that Owner Affiliation and Permit Contact
are accurate, and that e-mail addresses are provided. Instructions for updating contact information (including an on-line
form) are available at:
https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-industrial-stormwater.
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. EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5 -year
period. The first phase required regulated entities to submit Data Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically starting on
December 21, 2016.
We realize that deadline has passed, and EPA is aware that NC is working on expanding the State's eDMR System
(currently available to NPDES Wastewater Permit -holders) to include Stormwater Program DMR reporting. As soon as
eDMR is available for your permit, we will notify you. In the meantime, we must collect information about the discharge
outfalls at your facility to prepare the system to flow data to EPA as the new federal rule mandates.

To submit outfall information to DEQ: Go to the following website and enter the discharge outfall number, type of
discharge, receiving water information, representative outfall status information, and other details no later than May 18,
2018. The website will walk you through all steps.
