2010 General Permits
General permits require a completed standard application form with a design report, plans and specifications be submitted to the appropriate Water and Wastewater Engineer like any other permit. The Water and Wastewater Engineer issues a Notification of Coverage (NOC) over the Engineer's signature if the application package satisfies the requirements of the applicable Water Quality Division Regulations and the general permit. A unique WQD permit number is assigned to each application resulting in a NOC, just as if it was an individual permit.
