Maryland Department of the Environment: National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

Threatened or Endangered Species

Are there any Federal or State listed rare, threatened, and endangered species and/or designated critical habitats that are located in the project area? How do I determine if such species are located in my project area?

Yes

Are there specific requirements in your Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SC) or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)?

Yes

Will my project require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan?

Answer questions A-E below. All questions must be answered.

If you answer yes to any of the questions, your project WILL require an SWPPP prior to submittal of the Notice of Intent. See Part III.F of the permit.

If you answer no to all the questions, your project WILL NOT require an SWPPP to be submitted to MDE.

A. Chemical Additives or Polymers

Will your project involve the use chemical additives or polymers for sediment control?

Yes

Yes, I plan to use chemical additives or polymers for sediment control.

Check each box below to indicate that you have read and understand each of the documents listed.

I have read and understand the Standards for Use of Chemical Additives for Sediment Control as provided by MDE, and understand that a copy of these standards must be kept on site at all times.

I have read and understand the Procedures for Review of Chemical Additives for Sediment Control.

I understand that any use of Cationic Polymers must be approved by MDE and and may require monitoring. All applicants must complete and submit the Request for Cationic Chemical Additives Form.

Do you plan on using a Cationic Polymer?

Yes

If you have you been approved for the use of a Cationic Polymer, provide the date of the approval.

Approval Date: (MM/DD/YYYY)

I understand that I shall refer to the most current version of Standards for Use of Chemical Additives for Sediment Control document available on the Department⁽s website for specific instructions on information which must be included in your SWPPP.

No, my project will not involve the use chemical additives or polymers for sediment control.

B. Prohibited Discharges and Discharge Limitations

Will construction activity include disturbing material or soils with known contamination by toxic or hazardous substances (Part I.D.6: Prohibited Discharges and Part III.B.3: Discharge Limitations for Sites Discharging to Impaired Waters), dewatering requiring turbidity benchmarks (Part III.B.4), or has the Department notified you with a request to install additional controls to meet water quality standards (Part III.B.1: General Effluent Limitation to Meet Applicable Water Quality Standards)?

Yes

Yes, construction activity has the potential for disturbing material or soils with known contamination by toxic or hazardous substances.

Check each box below if applicable to your project.

Demolition contaminants of any structure built or renovated before January 1, 1980 when the structures being demolished are at least 10,000 square feet of floor space (Part III.B.3: Discharge Limitations for Sites Discharging to Impaired Waters).

The site has soils that contain controlled hazardous substances. ( "Controlled hazardous substance" means hazardous waste as defined in COMAR 26.13.02, except as provided in COMAR 26.13.02.06).

Does the construction activity include disturbing material or soils with known contamination by toxic or hazardous substances (e.g. from sites managed under Maryland’s Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) or Land Restoration Program (LRP))? See Part III.B.3 [PCBs] and Part I.D.6 [PROHIBITION] of the 20-CP.

Yes

List pollutants identified such as PCB, or those specified under VCP or as determined by your own research:

The site is discharging dewatering water to sediment-impaired water or to water designated as a Tier II for antidegradation purposes.

I understand that I must report all daily maximum turbidity monitoring results on a quarterly basis via ePermits (unless use of the paper monitoring form in Appendix D is approved by the Department) no later than 30 days following the end of each monitoring quarter.

The Turbidity Benchmark Monitoring Data Reporting Form can be found here: Appendix D 20-CP: Turbidity Monitoring Report Form and Instructions.

The Maryland Department of the Environment notified me to install additional controls to meet water quality standards (Part III.B.1).

No, construction activity will not disturb material or soils with known contamination by toxic or hazardous substances.

C. Pollution Prevention Requirements

Will you be implementing controls associated with any of the pollution prevention activities referenced in Part III.A.3: Pollution Prevention Requirements? (exception for sites under 5 acres with ONLY concrete washout, building materials storage/handling, fertilizer use to establish vegetation, and NO other activities listed under Part III.A.3)

Yes

Yes, I plan on implementing controls associated with the activities requiring pollution prevention measures, referenced in the permit.

Select from the list below the activities that require additional pollution prevention measures.

For equipment and vehicle fueling and maintenance.

For equipment and vehicle washing.

For storage, handling, and disposal of building products, materials, and wastes.

For washing applicators and containers used for stucco, paint, concrete, form release oils, curing compounds, or other materials.

For the application of fertilizers.

Releases in Excess of Reportable Quantities. Please note that discharges of hazardous substances and oil resulting from on-site spills are not authorized by this permit.

No, I do not plan on implementing controls associated with the activities requiring pollution prevention measures, referenced in the permit.

D. Sharing Permit-Related Functions

Will your project involve the sharing of permit-related functions between and among operators on the same site?

Yes, through a common plan of development or sale

Yes, through a co-permittee

My project is within a Common Plan of Development or Sale.

Is this NOI for an existing common plan of development?

Yes

Common Plan Number:

Enter total acreage for single-family home lots that are less than an acre each.

Acreage: acres

Enter total acreage for single-family home lots that are equal to or more than an acre each.

Acreage: acres

Enter total acreage for lots being used for any other building type.

Acreage: acres

I am a co-permittee with one or more operators, but not in a common plan.

No, the project will not involve the sharing of permit-related functions.

E. Implementing a SWPPP in lieu of an approved E&SC plan

Where coverage under this permit is required but the E&SC plan requirements are exempt under Title 4.

Yes

This project WILL REQUIRE a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

Your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be submitted to the Maryland Department of the Environment prior to submittal of the Notice of Intent. See Part III.F of the permit.
