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 disctiarges 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm Permit text, technical bulletins, discharge monitoring forms, and a
Notice of Intent [which is the application of for coverage under a NPDES General Stormwater Permit] can be found at this
web site.
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. That said, please see the above mentioned
web site in order to obtain a copy of the permit such that you may fully comply with all the conditions therein. Failure to
properly comply with conditions of the permit, like those bulleted below, constitutes violations and are subject
civil penalty assessment 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 the filing of a Notice of Intent (NO1) and Applicable Fees.
• This Notice of Intent (NO1) 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 water 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 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

expiration, or any permittee that does not have a permit after the expiration and has not requested
renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subject to enforcement. Failure to renew your
permit is a violation.

revocation and reissuance of the Certificate of Coverage to change the name and iftcorporate such other
requirements as may be necessary under the Clean Water Act. The Permit Is NOT transferable.

Beaufort County
The Division of Environmental Management has recently evaluated all existing individual permits for potential
coverage under general permits currently issued by the Division. 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0127 allows the Division to
evaluate groups of permits having similar discharge activities for coverage under general permits and issue
coverage where the Division finds control of the discharges more appropriate in this manner. The Division has
determined that the subject discharge qualifies for such coverage. Therefore, the Division is hereby issuing the
subject Certificate of Coverage under the state-NPDES general permit no. NCGO80000 which shall void NPDES
Permit NC0037044. This Certificate of Coverage is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina and the
US Environmental Protection Agency Memorandum of Agreement dated December 6, 1983 and as subsequently
amended.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this general permit are unacceptable to
you, you have the right to submit an individual permit application, associated processing fee and letter requesting
coverage under an individual permit. Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. Please
take notice this Certificate of Coverage is not transferable. Part II, EA. addresses the requirements to be followed
in case of change of ownership or control of this discharge.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. Construction of any
wastewater treatment facilities will require issuance of an Authorization to Construct from this Division.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Certificate of Coverage and respective general permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C. Please note that the general permit does require
monitoring in accordance with federal law. The monitoring data is required to be submitted to the Division no later
