EPA's Electronic Stormwater Notice of Intent (eNOI) Is Available Now!

EPA has developed the Electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) (no paper!) for construction sites that need to apply for coverage under EPA's Construction General Permit (CGP).

New! You can now submit an electronic Notice of Termination (eNOT). Even if you didn't use eNOI to apply for the 2003 Construction General Permit, you can use the eNOT function to terminate your NOI.

New! You can now save your draft eNOI and come back later to finish it.

New! You can now fill out an eNOI even if you don't meet the definition of certifying official. The system has been enhanced to let you complete the form for later signature by an appropriate certifying official. Previously only the certifying official could use the eNOI system.

Now, filing a stormwater Notice of Intent form will be

	Easier! - eNOI's online instructions and help menus will help guide you through the certification process.
	Faster! - Using eNOI will eliminate 2 weeks or more in processing time. Using eNOI is the fastest way to get your application process started.
	More Accurate! - eNOI smart forms will help you avoid common mistakes that could cause additional delays.

View Stormwater Construction NOIs - EPA is posting construction NOIs for states and territories covered by EPA's Construction General Permit. You can use this page to search, sort, and view NOIs.

eNOI is applicable anywhere EPA is the permitting authority, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Idaho, Alaska, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and many other territories, Indian Country, and other locations (see Where the EPA Construction General Permit (CGP) Applies).

eNOI will be available for other industrial entities that need coverage under EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) in spring 2004. The ability to submit electronic modifications to NOIs will also be available in 2004.

eNOI is a free online service. To access it, you will need to register through EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX). Registration is quick and easy.

Here's some of the things you will need to complete your eNOI:

• Read the Construction General Permit (CGP) [PDF Format].
• Develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).
• Complete an endangered species certification for the project site.
• Determine whether stormwater from your site will reach a waterbody with an established Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). If the waterbody has an established TMDL, are you in compliance with that TMDL?
• Know your site's latitude and longitude.
• Make sure the browser you are using is Internet Explorer 5.5. Netscape is not compatible with eNOI.

You'll need all of this information to complete your eNOI. As you complete the form, if you need to stop for any reason, you can now save your work and return to it later.

Keep in mind that you can now prepare an eNOI even if you don't meet the definition of certifying official (staff, consultants, etc.). Just fill out the form and then indicate the name and email address of the certifying official. The eNOI system will send an email to the official that you designate letting them know you've prepared an eNOI for their electronic signature. The certifier can then enter the system, review the information, and electronically sign and certify the form.
