How does the new General Permit affect Tier Status?
The first sampling period in this General Permit begins on January 1, 2019. Tier 3 actions in
Pail IV of your permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on
the effective date of this permit and do not count prior exceedances. Likewise, Tier 2 actions
are triggered by two consecutive benchmark exceedances beginning on the effective date of
this permit and do not count prior exceedances. However, if your facility is already in Tier 2
(monitoring stormwater discharges monthly) orTier 3, you must continue monthly monitoring
until relieved through conditions of the permit or by DEMLR staff approval,
fflien does electronic DMR reporting start?
We are working toward on -boarding permittees with NPDES stormwater permits into the DEQ's
eDMR system next year. Permittees will receive notification when our eDNIR system is
ready for registration to begin reporting monitoring data electronically. If you have any
questions about the status, please contact Bethany Georgoulias at [phone],
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.G. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), 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,
