The NPDES permitting program for stormwater discharges was established in 1990. Phase I focuses on site and operations planning to reduce pollutant sources. Through the NPDES permitting program industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage under a general permit or an individual permit, depending upon the facilities SIC code and the industrial activity occurring at the facility. There are currently 19 active general stormwater permits in North Carolina. One condition that is applicable to both the general permits and individual stormwater permits is the requirement to develop and implement site -specific comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention plans (SPPP). These plans are required to include a comprehensive evaluation of the site and operations to reduce pollutant sources and prevent pollutant discharge. Copies of the general permits and accompanying documents can be accessed from the following webpage: http-//portal. ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#General_Permits_NPDES.

This permit expires on August 31, 2002. The Division staff is currently in the process of rewriting this permit and is scheduled to have the permit reissued by late summer of 2002. Once the permit is reissued, your facility would be eligible for continued coverage under the reissued permit. In order to assure your continued coverage under the general permit, you must apply to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for renewal of your permit coverage. To make this renewal process easier, we are informing you in advance that your permit will be expiring. Enclosed you will find a General Permit Coverage Renewal Application Form. The application must be completed and returned by March 4, 2002 in order to assure continued coverage under the general permit. Failure to request renewal within this time period may result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending on the delinquency of the request. Discharge of stormwater from your facility without coverage under a valid stormwater NPDES permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to S 10,000 per day. Please note that recent federal legislation has extended the "no exposure exclusion" to all operators of industrial facilities in any of the L 1 categories of "storm water discharges associated with industrial activity," (except construction activities). If you feel your facility can certify a condition of "no exposure", i.e. the facilty industrial materials and operations are not exposed to stormwater, you can apply for the no exposure exclusion. For additional information contact the Central Office Stormwater Staff member listed below or check the Stormwater & General Permits Unit Web Site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/stormwater.htmi If the subject stormwater discharge to waters of the state has been terminated, please complete the enclosed Rescission Request Form. Mailing instructions are listed on the bottom of the form. You will be notified when the rescission process has been completed.
