Dear Permittee:
Please see the attached new Certificate of Coverage No. NCG080940 for renewed coverage under
Stormwater General Permit NCG080000 for this facility. This permit is reissued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October 15, 2007 (or as
subsequently amended.)
You must print a copy of the new NCG080000 General Permit from our Stormwater General Permits web
page: https:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources/npdes-stormwater-aps. In
addition to the full permit, the print package on the website includes revised Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) forms and Qualitative Monitoring Report Forms.
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations with respect to
discharge controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to
familiarize yourself with all changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from receipt
of the permit to update your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) to reflect any new permit
requirements.
When does electronic DMR (eDMR) reporting start, and does it affect this permit?
If activities at this facility ever require analytical monitoring, eDMR will affect you. We are setting up
our database with the outfalls that permittees submitted on-line and permit parameters. Permittees will
receive notification when our eDMR system is ready for permit -holders to register and begin reporting
monitoring data electronically. If you have any questions about the status, please contact Bethany
Georgoulias at [phone].

permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the N.C.

compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, standard, ordinance, order,
judgment, or decree.
