How can I check on the status of a given permit or find a list of NPDES permit holders?
Go to the List of Active Permits for all individual NPDES permits (permits beginning with NC00). The Excel version of this file can be sorted by county. For the status of any permit (including NPDES individual or general permits), you may navigate the Reports section of the Division of Water Quality’s database, BIMS, which lets you search for all permits by region. If you wish to see a list of permits that have gone to public notice and are available for public comment, please visit the Documents section and download the “List of Permits to Public Notice,” available in Excel or Adobe format.
