Pest Management Area #___ of ##___
Federally Listed Threatened or Endangered Species (i.e., Species) and/or Federally Designated Critical Habitat
(i.e., Habitat) (check one):
A.

Pesticide application activities will not result in a point source discharge to one or more Waters of the United States containing NMFS Listed
Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A, for this permit.

B.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States containing
NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A, but consultation with NMFS under section 7 of the ESA has been concluded for
pesticide application activities covered under this permit. Consultations can be either formal or informal, and would have occurred only as a result of a
separate federal action. The consultation addressed the effects of pesticide discharges and discharge-related activities on federally-listed threatened
or endangered species and federally-designated critical habitat, and must have resulted in either:
i. A biological opinion from NMFS finding no jeopardy to federally-listed species and no destruction/adverse modification of federally-designated
critical habitat; or
ii. Written concurrence from NMFS with a finding that the pesticide discharges and discharge-related activities are not likely to adversely affect
federally-listed species or federally-designated critical habitat.

C.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States containing
NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A, but all “take” of these resources associated with such pesticide application activities
has been authorized through NMFS’ issuance of a permit under section 10 of the ESA, and such authorization addresses the effects of the pesticide
discharges and discharge-related activities on federally-listed species and federally-designated critical habitat. (The term “take” means to harass,
pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. See Section 3 of the Endangered Species Act,
16 U.S.C. § 1532 (19).)

D.

Pesticide application activities were, or will be, discharged to one or more Waters of the United States containing NMFS Listed Resources of
Concern, as defined in Appendix A, but only in response to a declared pest emergency situation.

E.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States containing
NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A. Eligible discharges include those from pesticide application activities performed
consistent with appropriate measures to avoid or eliminate the likelihood of adverse effects as provided in writing from NMFS, and the Operator must
provide EPA with the required relevant supporting information from NMFS.

F.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States containing
NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A. Eligible discharges include those from pesticide application activities that are
demonstrated not likely to adversely affect federally-listed species or their designated critical habitat.
If you checked item F. above, list all NMFS Listed Resources of Concern identified within the area for which permit coverage is being requested:
1.

Pest(s) to be controlled: ________________________________________________________________________________________

No earlier than 10 days after
EPA posts on the Internet the
receipt of a complete and
accurate NOI.

Section B. Operator Information
1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization or any other public
entity that operates or who is the decision-maker for the pesticides applications
described in this application. An operator of a facility is the decision-maker who has
control over the decision to perform pesticide applications including the ability to
modify those decisions that result in a discharge to Waters of the United States.
2. Provide the Employer Identification Number (EIN from the Internal Revenue Service
IIRS)), commonly referred to as your tax payer ID number. If the operator does not
have an EIN, enter “N/A” in the space provided.
3. Indicate the type of operator: federal government, state government, local
government, mosquito control district (or similar), irrigation control or other, weed
control district (or similar), or other. If other, provide brief description of type of
operator in the space provided.
4. Indicate whether or not you are a “large entity” as defined in Appendix A of the
PGP.
5. Provide the operator’s mailing address, telephone number, fax number (optional),

Where to File the NOI Form
The Decision-maker must prepare and submit the NOI using EPA’s electronic Notice
of Intent system (eNOI) available on EPA’s website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticides/eNOI) unless eNOI is otherwise unavailable or the
decision-maker has obtained a waiver from the requirement to use eNOI for
submission of the NOI. The Electronic Submission Waiver is at the top of this form.
Decision-makers waived from the requirement to use eNOI for NOI submission must
certify to EPA on this form that use of eNOI will incur undue burden or expense over
the use of the paper NOI form and then provide a basis for that determination.
EPA will immediately post on the pesticides eNOI website all NOIs received. Late
NOIs will be accepted, but authorization to discharge will not be retroactive.
If you do receive a waiver from using eNOI; you must send the NOI to one of the
addresses listed below.
Via United States Mail:
United States Environmental Protection Agency
Office of Water, Water Permits Division
Mail Code 4203M, ATTN: NPDES Pesticides
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20460

If you have questions, contact EPA’s Pesticides Notice Processing Center toll free at
866-352-7755.
If you file a paper NOI, submit the original with a signature in ink. Do not send
copies. Also, faxed copies will not be accepted.
Your PDMP does not need to be submitted for review unless specifically
requested by EPA or as otherwise required in the PGP. You must keep a copy
of your PDMP on-site or otherwise make it available to facility personnel
responsible for implementing provisions of the permit.
Completing the NOI Form
To complete this form, type or print in uppercase letters in the appropriate areas only.
Please make sure you complete all questions. Make sure you make a photocopy for
your records before you send the completed original form to the address above. You
may also use this paper form as a checklist for the information you will need when
filing an NOI electronically via EPA’s Pesticides eNOI.

Section C. Operator Information for each Pest Management Area for which
coverage under EPA’s Pesticide General Permit is desired.
1. Indicate whether you are submitting an NOI for multiple pest management areas. A
pest management area is the area of land, including any water, for which you have
responsibility and are authorized to conduct pest management activities as covered
by this permit (e.g., if you are a mosquito control district, your pest management
area is the total area of the district). You must complete a Section C for each pest
management area. If you are submitting an NOI for only one area, enter “1” of “1.” If
you are submitting NOIs for multiple pest management areas, enter the number for
the NOI for which you are requesting coverage followed by the total number of pest
management areas for which you are requesting coverage. Enter the name of the
pest management area. Provide both a map of the pest management and a
description of the pest management area in the space provided.
2. Enter the mailing address for the pest management area. If this address is the
same as the operator’s mailing address, indicate that by checking the box. If it is a
different address, enter the mailing address, telephone number, fax number
(optional), contact name, and e-mail address.
3. Indicate whether the pesticide application will occur on Indian County Lands, and if
so, provide the name of the reservation, if applicable. If the pest management area
is not part of a reservation, “Not Applicable.”
4. Indicate the pesticide use patterns for the pest management area for which the NOI
is required. For additional information regarding pesticide use patterns, see PGP
Part 1.1.1. Check all the use patterns that apply to the pest management area.
5. Indicate if permit coverage is being requested for all waters of the United States
within the pest management area or if permit coverage is being requested to
specific waters of the United States within the pest management area. If specific
waters are being requested, write the names of the waterbodies. If permit coverage
is being requested for all waters of the United States within the pest management
area except for a few waterbodies, name those waterbodies in the space provided.
EPA’s Water Locator Tool can help you identify the closest receiving water to your
facility (http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/tmdltool.cfm).
6. Indicate if permit coverage is being requested to discharge to a Tier 3 (Outstanding
National Resource Water) water of the United States. If yes, write the name(s) of
the impaired waterbodies in the space provided. Describe and demonstrate why it
is necessary to apply the pesticide discharge to protect the water quality,
environment, and/or public health and that any such discharge will not degrade
water quality or will degrade water quality only on a short-term or temporary basis.
7. Verify that waters within the proposed management area are either not impaired by
substances which are either active ingredients in the pesticide planned for use or
degradates of such active ingredients, OR that evidence shows that the target
waters in question are no longer impaired (see attachment).
