Individual Industrial Permits

General permits apply to numerous broad categories of industrial activities with potential stormwater discharges. Industries that are not eligible for any of the general permits are required to seek an individual permit.

Apply for a New Individual Permit

Complete the following three steps:

  • Complete both EPA Form 1 and EPA Form 2F. 
  • Mail one hard copy of the forms, supporting documents, and permit application fee to Brianna Young, 1612 MSC, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 (Note: Do not mail to the package to the EPA)
  • In addition, e-mail the forms and supporting documents to Brianna Young.

Renew an Existing Individual Permit

Complete the following three steps no later than 180 days prior to the expiration date: 

  • Complete EPA Form 1 and EPA Form 2F, the SPPP Certification Form, and the Supplemental Information Form.
  • Mail one hard copy of the forms and supporting documents to Brianna Young, 1612 MSC, Raleigh, NC 27699-1612.
  • In addition, e-mail the forms and supporting documents to Brianna Young.

Stormwater Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Forms for Individual Permits

Below are generic DMR forms:

  • Generic Individual Permit DMR Form
  • Generic Annual DMR Form
  • Qualitative Monitoring Form

How to Submit Paper DMRs Before eDMR is Implemented

The Stormwater Program is planning for NPDES Stormwater Industrial individual permitted facilities to use electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports in 2022.  Until your facility begins using eDMR, follow this NEW procedure for submitting eDMRs:

  • Download the Generic Individual Permit DMR Form.
  • Complete, sign, scan and upload the DMR to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Upload form within 30 days of receiving sampling results.
  • Mail the original, signed hard copy of the DMR to the appropriate DEMLR Regional Office. 
  • Do not send DMRs to Central Files in Raleigh!  (This is a change from the previous procedure.)
  • Note that DMR forms have recently been updated.
