EDMS Excavation Dewatering General permit NOI Modification

Instructions for completing the modification form for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Excavation Dewatering General Permit (GP) using EDMS.

Do not enter information from the original NOI. You will be presented with the information DEC has on file. Review and edit/update only the information you wish to change. Certify and submit to DEC for review and processing.

Contact Information

Enter contact information for the entity that operates the project described in this application. The entity that is conducting the excavation dewatering operation and has responsibility for on-site operations necessary to assure compliance to the permit shall complete and submit an NOI. Enter the operator's mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Correspondence for the NOI will be sent to this address.

Enter contact information for the Applicant (Responsible Official), SWPPP contact, and Application preparer, and Billing contact. Enter the name of the contact person and the legal name of the firm, public organization, or any other public entity that is responsible for accounts payable for this project. Correspondence for billing purposes will be sent to this address. See 18 AAC 72.956 for applicable authorization fee to be paid with the submittal of the NOI.

Multiple roles may be selected per contact.

Project/Site Information

Enter a general description of excavation dewatering project.

Enter the estimated project start date and estimated completion date.

Enter complete street address, including city, state, zip code, and county or similar government subdivision of the project. Do NOT use a P.O. Box. If the project lacks a street address, indicate the general location of the site (e.g., Intersection of State Highways 61 and 34). Complete project location information must be provided for permit authorization to be granted.

Select correct borough for project location.

Enter the latitude and longitude of the project site in decimal degrees format with up to 6-digit accuracy. You can obtain the project's latitude and longitude through Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, internet map service, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle or topographic maps, or EPA's web-based siting-tools, among other methods. For consistency, DEC requests that measurements be taken from the approximate center of the project site.

Select the method used to determine geographic coordinates.

Attach a general location map for the excavation dewatering project site.

Discharge Information

Indicate whether the water discharge is to water or land.

Indicate whether the water discharge is solely to uplands. If no, identify all receiving water bodies or wetlands to which the project's stormwater will discharge. These should be the first bodies of water that the discharge will reach. For example, if the discharge leaves your site and travels through a roadside swale or a storm sewer and then enters a stream that flows to a river, the stream would be the receiving water body. Waters of the U.S. include lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, wetlands, impoundments, estuaries, bays, oceans, and other surface bodies of water within the confines of the U.S. and U.S. coastal waters. (Waters of the U.S. do not include man-made structures created solely for the purpose of wastewater treatment.) U.S.G.S. topographical maps may be used to make this determination. If the map does not provide a name, use a format such as “unnamed tributary to Cross Creek”. If you discharge into a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4), you must identify the water body into which that portion of the storm sewer discharges. That information should be readily available from the operator of the MS4.

Indicate the anticipated discharge flow rates and the total anticipated discharge with your estimated discharge velocity at the discharge point.

Enter a general description of dewatering plan (a detailed plan should be described in a certified BMP plan).

Indicate whether you are requesting a mixing zone.

BMP Plan

Indicate whether a BMP Plan has been developed. In accordance with Part 2.2.9 of the permit all excavation dewatering discharges which require NOI submittal are required to develop and submit a BMP plan.

Indicate whether the excavation dewatering activities are located with 1,500 feet any DEC identified contaminated sites either in “Active” or “Cleanup Complete-Institutional Control” status.

Indicate whether the excavation dewatering activities are located with 1,500 feet any DEC identified “contaminated groundwater plume” with discharges to land or waters of the U.S.

Indicate whether the excavation dewatering activities that discharge to waters of the U.S. are greater than 1,500 feet from an “Active DEC identified contaminated site” or “contaminated groundwater plume” and not eligible for coverage under the APDES Construction General Permit AKR100000.

Enter Contaminate Sites information.

Enter Treatment Methodology as to how contaminant will be mitigated should it become entrained during the excavation dewatering process.

Attach a detailed site map to show discharge points, infiltration areas, drainage boundaries, flow direction of discharged water, location of all waters of the U.S. on site and those located within 2,500 feet of the site boundary. Include location of BMP>s to be implemented.

Review

This step allows you to review the form to confirm the form is populated completely and accurately, prior to certification and submission.

Certify and Submit

This step allows you to certify the form as complete and accurate and to submit the form to DEC for review and processing.

At the time of submission, it will be transmitted to DEC and it will become part of the public record.
