1200-C Stormwater Discharge Permit Applications

Fact Sheet: Applying for the 1200-C Construction Stormwater Permit PDF
This outlines the steps all 1200-C permittees need to take to obtain a valid permit for construction projects that disturb one acre or more of land. (April 2011)

1200-CN Coverage

In some local jurisdictions with eligible stormwater programs, construction activities that disturb less than five acres will be automatically covered under the 1200-CN permit. In a few jurisdictions, construction activities that disturb less than one acre are automatically covered. Information needed to determine if your project qualifies for the 1200-CN is available on the Construction Activities web page.

Status of 1200-C Permit Renewals

If you submitted a 1200-C renewal application under the 2005 permit, DEQ will send you a confirmation letter and a signed copy of the new permit. Your coverage is administratively extended until you receive the letter, at which time you are covered under the new permit. The letter will explain whether you are covered under the 1200-C or 1200-CN.

If you registered under the 2005 permit and did not submit a 1200-C renewal application, your permit coverage expired effective midnight November 30, 2010, and you will have to reapply for coverage under the 2010 permit and pay the application fee and annual fee. Please note that if you did not submit a renewal application, you cannot continue with construction until coverage under the 2010 permit is granted.
