The Notice of Intent (NOI) is a formal document submitted by facilities to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) indicating their intention to discharge stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Industrial Stormwater Permit. It’s a critical step in obtaining legal authorization for such discharges.
Any facility conducting industrial activities with potential stormwater contact must file an NOI. This is particularly relevant for operations that might release pollutants into stormwater runoff, thereby impacting local waterways.
NOIs are filed electronically through the Georgia EPD Online System (GEOS). The process involves providing detailed information about your facility and its stormwater management practices. Companies like Riverbend Environmental can assist in accurately completing and submitting your NOI.
Correctly filing an NOI is crucial for compliance with environmental regulations. Errors or omissions in your NOI can lead to delays in permit issuance, potential fines, or legal challenges. It’s essential to ensure that all information is accurate and comprehensive.
After submitting an NOI, your facility will typically receive an NPDES permit, which outlines specific requirements for managing and monitoring stormwater discharges. It’s important to adhere to these requirements to maintain compliance.
NPDES permits typically require renewal every five years, but this can vary. It’s important to keep track of renewal dates and any changes in your facility’s operations that might necessitate an NOI update or permit modification.
