ADDENDUM
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the federal
Clean Water Act and then delegated to the Division of Water Quality for implementation in North Carolina. 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 Poliution 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. Permit text, technical bulletins,
discharge monitoring forms, and a Notice of Intent [which is the application for coverage under a NPDES
General Stormwater Permit] can be found on this website.
The following items are a subset of permit requirements and are listed to assist you and help bring your
attention to certain permitting issues, process and condition requirements of your permit. Please see the
above mentioned website to obtain a copy of the permit so you may fully comply with all the conditions therein.
Failure to properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, is a violation(s) of
the permit and subject to civil penalty assessment(s) of up to $25,000.00 per day.
• Industrial facilities that fall into one of the subject ten categories are required to obtain permit coverage
under a general NPDES stormwater permit or an individual NPDES stormwater permit
• All persons desiring to have facilities covered by a General Permit must register with the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) by filing of a Notice of Intent (NOI) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NOI) must be submitted and a Certificate of Coverage issued prior to any
discharge of stormwater associated with the industrial activity, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering.
• Once the Notice of Intent is received, DWQ will review and determine whether a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) may be issued. If this Certificate of Coverage is issued the facility is covered by the General
Permit. That is, the permittee is authorized to discharge stormwater, process wastewater, and/or mine
dewatering pursuant to the type of General Permit until the permit expires or is modified or revoked.
• Any other point -source discharge to surface waters of the state is prohibited unless it is an allowable
non-stormwater discharge or is covered by another permit, authorization, or approval_
• There are currently 19 active general permits. Permit conditions vary accordingly; however, most of the
permits have the following condition requirements (you must read your entire permit to ensure full
compliance):
o Development and compliance with the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Analytical Monitoring
o Collection, reporting, and recording of Qualitative Monitoring
