Instructions for
Form NOI –Notice of Intent for Storm Water Discharges Associated with
Construction Activity (MTR100000)
Overview:An “owner or operator”of a “storm water discharge associated with construction activity”
is required to obtain authorization under an MPDES permit.“Owner or operator”means a person
who owns,leases,operates,controls,or supervises a point source.In this General Permit,the
“owner or operator”is also identified as the “permittee”.
A “storm water discharge associated with construction activity”regulated under this permit is
determined by meeting both of the following two criteria:
There are areas of ground disturbance or other potential pollutant sources due to the
construction activity where a storm water discharge to state surface waters can occur.
The construction activity has a total area of ground disturbance through clearing,excavating,
grading,or placement/removal of earth material which is equal to or greater than one acre.
The “total area”must include all areas which are part of a “larger common plan of
development or sale”.
Larger common plan of development or sale means a contiguous area where multiple separate
and distinct construction activities are planned to occur at different times on different schedules
under one plan.These separate and distinct construction activities which form a larger common
plan of development or sale may have areas of disturbance which are not physically connected.
The permittee must consider support activities for the construction project which may be on or off
the conventional construction project “site”.Support activities can include,but are not limited to,
areas used for access-related work,earth material borrow areas,equipment staging areas,materials
storage areas,temporary concrete or asphalt batch plants,and any areas used for fill placement.
For storm water discharges from support activities to be covered under this permit for a particular
construction activity permit authorization,such support activities must:
Not be part of a larger commercial operation serving multiple unrelated construction
activities,and not continue operation beyond the completion of the particular construction
activity;and
Have appropriate controls and measures identified for the particular support activity.All
construction activities that disturb and are part of a larger common plan of development or
sale are subject to permit coverage.
Please review Part I of the General Permit for all eligibility requirements for coverage.
A Notice of Intent (NOI)process is used for an owner or operator to obtain authorization to
discharge under this permit.Through the submittal of a NOI,the owner or operator acknowledges
eligibility for coverage under this permit and agrees to comply with the effluent limits and
conditions of this permit.
The complete NOI Package submitted to:
Montana Department of Environmental Quality
Water Protection Bureau
P.O.Box 200901
2/25/2020Page6of11
Helena,MT 59620-0901
The complete NOI Package consists of:
A completed NOI form and attached USGS map;
A separate SWPPP completed in accordance with the requirements this General Permit;
A copy of the consultation letter from the Montana Sage Grouse Habitat Conservation
Program (if applicable);and
The appropriate “application fee”for the NOI.
Upon receipt of the NOI Package by the Department,it is stamped with the date of receipt.The
Department then performs a check to ensure the NOI Form is complete,that a signed SWPPP is
attached,and that the required fee is submitted.If the NOI Package is determined to be complete,
authorization is effective upon the date it was stamped as received and the Department issues a
Confirmation of Receipt letter to the permittee.If the NOI Package is incomplete,the Department
provides notification as to what the deficiencies are,and permit authorization does not become
effective under this permit until the deficiencies are addressed and the Department subsequently
receives the complete NOI Package.
Coverage does not relieve the permittee from any other statute,regulation,permits,or other
regulatory requirements for activities occurring within their area and not associated with permitted
storm water discharges associated with construction activities.
Instructions for NOI Sections

Section G –Receiving Surface Water(s)
An outfall location is considered to be a discrete channel,conveyance,structure,or flow path from
which storm water discharge leaves the boundary of the facility or site.“Surface waters”is any
waters on the earth’s surface including,but not limited to,streams,lakes,ponds,reservoirs,or other
surface water including ephemeral and intermittent drainage ways and irrigation systems.Identify
2/25/2020Page9of11
the immediate receiving surface water and the latitude and longitude of the outfall using decimal
degrees.
Provide the following information in the table:
Outfall number assignment starts with 001.If the outfall is not discrete or well defined,the
relative outfall location may be assigned to the relative flow path or drainage area.
If the immediate receiving surface water is unnamed,provide the latitude and longitude of
the immediate receiving surface water and indicate the closest named surface water that the
unnamed receiving waterbody flows into (i.e.unnamed tributary to Rock Creek or unnamed
drainage to Clear Creek).This naming process will provides better clarification.
For existing permittees,ensure outfall numbers used are consistent with those identified in
the past for the same outfall.
Waterbodies with Impairments
Identify if storm water discharges from the construction activity will discharge to impaired
waterbodies.Determine if the immediate receiving surface waters identified in Section G and/or
other surface waters with connectivity and within one mile of the construction site boundaries
identified in the map required in Section K are listed as impaired.
Information on impaired waterbodies may be obtained from the Department or from the Montana
DEQ Clean Water Act Information Center website at http://svc.mt.gov/deq/dst/#/app/cwaic.An
interactive map is located at:http://deq.mt.gov/Water/WQPB/CWAIC.Compare pollutant(s)of
impairment to identified potential pollutant sources from your construction activities.Typical
pollutants from construction activities include sediment,suspended solids and turbidity,and any
secondary sources of pollutants based on materials and support activities.
Section H –Nature of the Construction Activity or Project
In your own words,briefly describe the overall construction activity that requires authorization
under this General Permit.Provide a summary of the phases and associated Best Management
Practices required to achieve final stabilization.Do not repeat the SIC Code description.Provide
information regarding the actual project.
Enter the total site area of the project in acres.Enter the number of acres of construction related
disturbance for the site.This calculation includes the common plan of development or sale and
support activities.Enter the estimated project start date,completion date,and final stabilization
date.These dates are recognized as estimated and provide a timeframe for the project.
Section I –Supplemental Information
*For Permit Modification Only.Leave this section blank except for modification.
Modification requests (including decreased or increased disturbance area)submitted by the
permittee within six months of the date of issuance of the authorization are processed as a minor
modifications.If the authorization requires modification after six months of the date of issuance
(other than an ownership/name change using the Permit Transfer Notification form),the
modification will be processed with a new project fee.
2/25/2020Page10of11
A permittee may not modify the NOI to add additional construction-related disturbance area(s)
unless the new additional construction-related disturbance is directly contiguous to and directly
associated with the original site,except for support activities.
Sage Grouse Consultation Requirements for Modifications:Any modification due to a change in
disturbed acreage requires verification of the construction project boundaries being in designated
sage grouse habitat that will result in a consultation letter and/or updates to a consultation letter.If
the modification request is outside of sage grouse habitat,no consultation is required.
Section J –Fee
New Projects:The fee for new projects is based on the number of disturbed acres from Section H
of this form.The fee for disturbing one to five acres (inclusive)is $900.00.The fee for over five
acres up to and including ten acres is $1,000.00.The fee for over ten acres up to and including
twenty-five acres is $1,200.00.The fee for over twenty-five acres up to and including one hundred
acres is $2,000.00.The fee for any number of acres over one hundred is $3,500.00.
Modification:The fee for a minor modification to the original permit authorization is $500.00.
Minor modifications must be made within six months of the original issue date.Examples of a
minor modification include changing the number of disturbed acres within one of the ranges above,
or changing or adding outfall locations.If the acreage increases to a new fee range,the permittee
must pay the difference from the original fee amount submitted.Updating administrative
information (examples:addresses,phone numbers and changing the SWPPP administrator)are
examples that do not require an NOI or fee.
If the modification is made after the first six months from the original issue date,the full fee applies.
See the correct amount under New Projects above.
Renewal:A renewal is only for permittees requiring continued authorization beyond the December
31,2017,expiration date.The fee is based on the number of disturbed acres under new projects.
Resubmittal:A resubmittal is only used if the entity was required to resubmit by request of DEQ.
The fee is $500.00.
Permit Transfer Fee:The permit transfer is to change ownership of the permit authorization to
another entity.The fee is $500.00.Do not use this form,use the PTN Form.
