The Stormwater Program posted the draft General Permit for public comment on April 151h and it ran through May 15th. The new General Permit became effective on July 1, 2026. Please read the important information below about what to do: 1. Fees Owed: If your COC had outstanding fees, then your COC has not been renewed and is expired. It is crucial that you visit the Stormwater ePayment website (deg.nc.gov/SW- ePayments) and pay your permit fees as soon as possible so the Stormwater Program can renew your Certificate of Coverage (COC), and you can avoid enforcement actions. 2. Review and Update Contact Information: Please review the permit contact information in our database. You can link to a Stormwater Permit Contact Summary Report under the "How to Update Permit Data" section of this website: deg.nc.gov/SW-industrial 3.
