NOI/NOT Filing
What is an NOI/NOT?
A few preventative and proactive steps go a long way in protecting our water and our clients.
A NOI is a Notice of Intent and is basically the permit application required for NPDES.
Generally, a NOI will suffice for the life of the project if for example, a builder both develops land and also constructs homes. It may be advisable for a builder/developer to create separate NOIs or Co-Permittee Agreements if, for example, they are only developing property or only constructing homes. Recall that the NOI usually requires that a SWPPP be created, a permit be filed and compliance with the permit be enacted (this includes inspections and use of BMPs). Alpha EMC prepares packets for our clients for NOIs and NOTs to assist in filing.
The NOT is the Notice of Termination signifying that the construction activity is completed. It illustrates the permittee has achieved final stabilization on all portions of responsible work. A NOT is also advisable when a new operator has assumed control on all areas of the site. An example, as mentioned earlier, would include the development of property that is sold to another group that will perform home construction only. The new operator would then apply for their own NOI.
