NR 216.51(5)(5) Individual permit. The department may require the landowner of any storm water discharge covered by a general WPDES permit issued pursuant to this subchapter to apply for and obtain an individual WPDES storm water permit if any of the following occur: NR 216.51(5)(a)(a) The storm water discharge is determined to be a significant source of pollution and more appropriately regulated by an individual WPDES storm water permit.

The department may, if appropriate, require an application for an individual WPDES storm water permit. NR 216.55(1)(1) When to file. When a construction site has undergone final stabilization, temporary erosion control best management practices have been removed and all storm water discharges associated with the construction site activities that were required to have WPDES permit coverage under this subchapter have ceased, the permittee shall submit a signed notice of termination to the department. NR 216.55(2)(2) Forms. A notice of termination shall be submitted to the department on forms available from the department as specified under s. NR 216.006. Data submitted in the notice of termination forms shall be used as a basis for terminating coverage of a storm water discharge permit. NR 216.55(4)(4) Required information.

NR 216.55(4)(c)(c) The name, mailing address and telephone number of the general contractor. “I certify under penalty of law that disturbed soils at the identified site have undergone final stabilization and temporary erosion and sediment control measures have been removed or that all storm water discharges associated with construction activity that are authorized by a general WPDES permit have otherwise been eliminated. I understand that by submitting this notice of termination, I am no longer authorized to discharge storm water associated with construction activity by the general WPDES permit, and that discharging pollutants in storm water associated with construction activity to waters of Wisconsin is unlawful where the discharge is not authorized by a general WPDES permit.”
NR 216.55(5)(5) Effective date. Termination of coverage under the permit shall be effective upon written confirmation of permit termination by the department to the permittee. NR 216.55(6)(6) Administrative termination. If an applicant fails to reapply under s.
