Non-mining MSGP 2010 General Permit
Arizona Water (see Part 1.1.4.6) is required to submit a copy of the SWPPP, to the
Department for review, along with the NOI in subsection (e);
e. Submit to the Department a complete and accurate Notice of Intent (NOI) Form (either an
original, or a photocopy/reproduction) in accordance with A.A.C. R18-9-C901(D) to the
address listed in Part 7.6. Other NOI options (i.e., electronic submission) may also be
used if ADEQ makes the information available on the Internet or by public notice.
If the facility has the potential to discharge to a regulated municipal separate storm sewer
system (MS4), the applicant must provide:
o The name of the MS4 operator in Section E of the NOI; and
o Name of closest surface water receiving the discharge.
The NOI form is available at http://www.azdeq.gov/environ/water/permits/stormwater.html
2. Authorization to Discharge
a. Routine Authorizations
Unless otherwise notified, the applicant is authorized to discharge stormwater from an
eligible facility upon either: receipt of the Authorization to Discharge; or 7 calendar days
after a complete and accurate NOI is received by the Department, whichever is earlier.
However, in order to rely on this 7 calendar day provision, the operator must submit the
NOI in a manner that documents the date of ADEQ’s receipt (i.e., certified mail, hand
delivery, fax, etc.).
b. Authorizations to Discharge for New Dischargers to Impaired Waters and New or
Expanded Discharges to Tributaries of OAWs
Unless otherwise notified, an applicant subject to Part 1.1.4.5 or 1.1.4.6 is authorized to
discharge stormwater from an eligible facility upon receipt of the Authorization to
Discharge or 32 business days after a complete and accurate NOI is received by the
Department, whichever is earlier.
c. NOIs Requiring Additional Evaluation.
ADEQ may inform an applicant that authorization to discharge will not occur for up to 32
business days in the event that screening of the NOI provides information requiring
further evaluation. ADEQ’s notification may be made either in writing, electronically, by
fax or phone. The notification typically will be made within 7 calendar days after receipt of
the NOI. Applicants who receive notice of a delay in coverage may discharge 32
business days after the date the NOI is received unless further notice is received from
ADEQ during this timeframe. Such notice may confirm authorization to discharge, or
request additional information to comply with the requirements of this permit.
d. Requirement to Obtain Alternate Coverage.
ADEQ may require the operator to submit an application for an individual AZPDES
permit, as detailed in Part 1.6.1. In these instances, ADEQ will notify the operator in
writing of: 1) the delay; or 2) the request for submission of an individual AZPDES permit
application.
e. Discharges to a regulated MS4.
Permittees with discharges to a regulated MS4 shall submit to the MS4 operator a copy
of the Department’s Authorization to Discharge.
3. Incomplete NOI Submitted. If ADEQ notifies the applicant that an NOI is incomplete or
incorrect, the applicant must resubmit an amended NOI if the applicant still intends to obtain
(or retain) coverage under this permit.
4. The time frames for discharge authorization are presented in Table 1-2, below.
