Pesticide General Permit is desired. Copy this section for non-electronic submissions.
Pest Management Area #___ of ##___
1. Identify the criterion for which you are eligible for permit coverage as it applies to 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 National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A, of the PGP.

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 of the PGP, but consultation with NMFS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) has been concluded for pesticide application activities covered under the PGP. 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.

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 of the PGP, 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).)

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 of the PGP, but only in response to a Declared Pest Emergency Situation.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested in the NOI will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States
containing NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A of the PGP. Eligible discharges include those where the Decision-maker
includes in the NOI written correspondence from NMFS that pesticide application activities performed consistent with appropriate measures will
avoid or eliminate the likelihood of adverse effects to NMFS Listed Resources of Concern.

Pesticide application activities for which permit coverage is being requested in the NOI will discharge to one or more Waters of the United States
containing NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A of the PGP. Eligible discharges include those from pesticide application
activities that are demonstrated by the Decision-maker as not likely to adversely affect NMFA Listed Resources of Concern or that the pest poses a
greater threat to the NMFS Listed Resources of Concern than does the discharge of the pesticide.

2. If you checked criterion d or criterion f above, provide the following information for all discharges to Waters of the United States containing NMFS Listed
Resources of Concern identified within the pest management area for which permit coverage is being requested. For discharges pursuant to criterion d,
Declared Pest Emergency Situations, information for items a through g should also include any discharges that have already occurred prior to NOI
submission as well as the activities you performed in the 15 day period before submission of this NOI was required. In some cases, implementation of
pest management measures as specified in the permit involves a degree of “adaptive management” such that exact timing and quantities of applications
cannot be determined in advance for the duration of the permit. In such cases, the permittee must provide the required information to the extent feasible
and consistent with the implementation of the selected pest management measures.
a.

Describe the location of the pest management area in detail or provide a map of the location:

Pest(s) to be controlled:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pesticide product(s) to be discharged and method of application: ________________________________________________________________

Planned quantity and rate of discharge(s) for each method of application: _________________________________________________________

Number of planned discharges: ____________

Approximate date(s) of planned discharge(s): _______________________________________________________________________________

Your rationale supporting your determination that you meet the criterion for which you are submitting this NOI, including appropriate measures to be
undertaken to avoid or eliminate the likelihood of adverse effects. For certifications pursuant to Criterion D, indicate whether the discharge is likely to
adversely affect NMFS Listed Resources of Concern and, if so, any feasible measures to avoid or eliminate such adverse effects (attach additional
pages as necessary):

If you have questions about whether you need to file an NOI or questions about
completing the form, see www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticides or contact the NOI Center toll
free at 866-352-7755.
EPA FORM 6100-22

One NOI can be submitted for multiple pest management areas in a state for which
you are seeking permit coverage; however, no more than one state can be included on
any single NOI form.
When to File the NOI Form?
Do not file your NOI until you have obtained and thoroughly read a copy of the permit.
A copy of the permit is on EPA’s website (www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticides).The permit
describes procedures to ensure your eligibility, prepare your Pesticide Discharge
Management Plan (PDMP), and complete the NOI form questions—all of which must
be done before you sign the NOI certification statement attesting to the accuracy and
completeness of your NOI. You will also need a copy of the permit once you have
obtained coverage so that you can comply with the implementation requirements of
the permit. Note: PDMP is not required for 1) any application made in response to a
Declared Pest Emergency Situation, as defined in Appendix A of the permit; and 2)
any Decision-maker that is required to submit an NOI solely because their application
results in a point source discharge to Waters of the United States containing NMFS
Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in Appendix A of the permit.
All eligible discharges are authorized for permit coverage through January 12,
2012 without submission of an NOI. For any discharges after January 12, 2012,
Decision-makers meeting the eligibility requirements identified in the Part 1.1of the
permit and Table 1 must submit a complete and accurate NOI according to Tables 2,
and 3 and consistent with the requirements of the Part 1.2 of the permit. For example,
for discharges occurring on or before January 12, 2012 but continuing after January
12, 2012, NOIs are due no later than January 3, 2012 to ensure uninterrupted
coverage.
Table 2. NOI Submittal Deadlines and Discharge Authorization Dates for
Discharges from the Application of Pesticides 1
After January 12, 2012, any eligible discharge for which an NOI is required must
submit an NOI consistent with the earliest due date identified below. If EPA receives
an NOI on or before January 2, 2012 (or on or before December 12, 2011, for
discharges to Waters of the United States containing NMFS Listed Resources of
Concern), uninterrupted coverage continues.2 NOI due dates for any discharges
occurring on or after January 12, 2012 are as follows:

State, territory and tribal specific requirements in addition to the requirements in this
table are provided in Part 9.0.
On the basis of a review of an NOI or other information, EPA may delay
authorization to discharge beyond any timeframe identified in Table 2, determine
that additional technology-based and/or water quality-based effluent limitations or
other conditions are necessary, or deny coverage under this permit and require
submission of an application for an individual NPDES permit, as detailed in Part 1.3
of the permit.
Within 30 days after EPA posts on the Internet receipt of a complete and accurate
NOI, for those areas with NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, as defined in
Appendix A of the permit, NMFS will provide EPA with a determination as to
whether it believes the eligibility criterion of “not likely to adversely affect listed
species or designated critical habitat” has been met, could be met with conditions
that NMFS identifies, or has not been met. EPA expects to rely on NMFS’
determination in deciding whether to withhold authorization. If NMFS does not
provide EPA with this information within 30 days of EPA posting on the Internet
receipt of a complete and accurate NOI, the discharges will be authorized 30 days
after EPA posts on the Internet receipt of a complete NOI.
In any Declared Pest Emergency Situation in areas with Waters of the United
States containing NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, NMFS will have 30 days
after submission of an NOI to provide EPA with a determination as to whether the
eligibility criteria of “not likely to adversely affect listed species or designated critical
habitat” has been met, could be met with conditions that NMFS identifies, or has
not been met. EPA expects to rely on NMFS’ determination in deciding whether to
allow continued permit coverage and if additional conditions are necessary. If
NMFS does not provide EPA with a recommendation within 30 days of EPA posting
on the Internet receipt of a complete and accurate NOI, authorization for these
discharges will continue. If EPA identifies additional permit conditions, or includes
additional permit conditions recommended by NMFS, as necessary to qualify
discharges as eligible for coverage beyond 60 days under the PGP, those
conditions remain in effect for the life of the permit.
EPA may authorize certain discharges in less than 30 days, but no fewer than 10
days, for any discharges authorized under Criterion B, C, or E of Part 1.1.2.4 (for
which NMFS has already evaluated the effects of these discharges).

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 filed 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 file a waiver from using eNOI; you must send the NOI to one of the addresses
listed below.

Mailing Address) and the associated fields of information that need to be modified
on the NOI.
Section B. Operator Information
1. Provide the legal name of the person, firm, public organization or any other public
entity that is the Decision-maker for the pesticides applications described in this
notice. A Decision-maker is an Operator 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
(IRS)), 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 district (or
similar), 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
permit. Note that if you are a large entity, you are required to develop a Pesticide
Discharge Management Plan (PDMP) and submit future Annual Reports reflecting
all pesticide uses for which you are requesting permit coverage under this NOI.
5. Indicate which state your pest management areas are located. Specify only one
state per NOI. If there is more than one state, additional NOIs must be submitted.
6. Provide the Decision-maker’s mailing address, telephone number, fax number

Appendix A of the permit.
4. Enter the mailing address of the contact person for the pest management area. If
this address is the same as the Decision-maker’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.
5. Indicate the pesticide use patterns for the pest management area for which the NOI
is required. For additional information regarding pesticide use patterns, see Part
1.1.1 of the permit. Check all the use patterns that apply to the pest management
area.
6. 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 specific waterbodies, name those specific 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).
7. 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 Tier 3 water(s) 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.

EPA FORM 6100-22

8. Verify that waters within the pest 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 Part 1.1.2.1 of the permit for more
information on discharges to Water Quality Impaired Waters.
Section D. Endangered Species Protection. Complete Section D for each Pest
Management Area for which coverage under EPA’s PGP is desired.
Identify the Pest Management Areas, corresponding to those in Part C.
1. Coverage under the permit is available only for discharges and discharge-related
activities, as defined in Appendix A of the permit, that are not likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of any species that are federally- listed as endangered or
threatened (“listed”) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and not likely to
result in the adverse modification or destruction of habitat that is federallydesignated as critical under the ESA (“critical habitat”) except as provided in
criterion b, c, and for at least 60 days, d, below. For a subset of listed species and
critical habitat, identified as NMFS Listed Resources of Concern and defined in
Appendix A, there are specific criteria for determining eligibility. To demonstrate
eligibility, you must meet one or more of the six criteria (a-f) for the entire term of
coverage under the permit.
2. If you checked criterion d or criterion f, you are required to provide a description of
the location of the pest management area or a map of the location, the pest(s) to be
controlled, pesticide product(s) to be discharged and method of application,
planned quantity and rate of discharge(s) for each application method, number of
planned discharges, approximate date(s) of planned discharge(s), and the rational
supporting your determination that you meet the criterion for which the Decisionmaker is submitting this NOI and documentation demonstrating the finding of “not
likely to adversely affect.” If you certify under criteria f and do not hear from EPA
within 30 days, you may assume your discharge is authorized. For certifications
pursuant to Criterion d, indicate whether the discharge is likely to adversely affect
NMFS Listed Resources of Concern and, if so, any feasible measures to avoid or
eliminate such adverse effects. If you are certifying under criterion d (which allows
you to discharge 15 days before you even submit your NOI), your NOI should
describe both the pest emergency activities you plan to do after you submit your
NOI as well as the activities you performed in that 15 day period before you had to
submit the NOI. See Part 1.1.2.4 of the permit for more information regarding
Endangered and Threatened Species and Critical Habitat Protection. If you certify
under criterion d and do not hear from EPA, you may assume that permit
authorization continues unless notified otherwise.EPA may authorize certain
discharges in less than 30 days, but no fewer than 10 days, for any discharges
authorized under criterion b, c, or e (for which NMFS has already evaluated the
effects of these discharges). If you certify under one of these criteria and do not
hear from EPA within 30 days, you may assume your discharge is authorized.
Section E. Certification
Enter the certifier’s printed name and title. Sign and date the form. For more
information about the certification statement and signature, see Appendix B of the
permit. (CAUTION: An unsigned or undated form will not be accepted.) Federal
statutes provide for severe penalties for submitting false information. Federal
regulations require this application to be signed as follows:
For a corporation: by a responsible corporate officer, means:
(i) president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a
principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy or
decision-making functions for the corporation, or
(ii) the manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities,
provided the manager is authorized to make management decisions that govern the
operation of the regulated activity including having the explicit or implicit duty of
making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing
other comprehensive measures to assure long-term environmental compliance with
environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary
systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate
information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign
documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with
corporate procedures;
For a partnership or sole proprietorship: by a general partner or the proprietor; or
For a municipal, state, federal, or other public facility: by either a principal executive or
ranking elected official.
If the NOI was prepared by someone other than the certifier (for example, if the NOI
was prepared by the PDMP contact or a consultant for the certifier’s signature), include
the name, organization, phone number and e-mail address of the NOI preparer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE NOTICE OF TERMINATION (NOT) OF COVERAGE UNDER THE PESTICIDE GENERAL PERMIT (PGP) FOR

DISCHARGES FROM THE APPLICATION OF PESTICIDES

Who Must File an NOT Form with EPA?
Any Operator required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) is required to submit a
Notice of Termination (NOT) to end coverage under this permit. However, if EPA
notifies the Operator to apply for an NPDES individual permit or alternative general
permit, coverage under this permit terminates automatically. Dischargers
automatically covered under this permit as identified in Part 1.2.3 of the permit are
likewise automatically terminated upon permanent cessation of discharge consistent
with any of the criteria identified in Part 1.2.5.3 of the permit. As required in the
permit, only certain Operators that are also Decision-makers must submit NOIs.

c. Select this box if a new Operator has taken over decision-making
responsibility of pest control activities covered under an existing NOI and you
are no longer the Operator. Provide the date of transfer and the name and
contact information of the new Operator.
Section B. Operator Information
1. Provide the full legal name of the person, firm, public organization, or other entity
that is the Operator who is the Decision-maker for the pesticide application

Consistent with Part 1.2.5.1 of the permit, the Operator must submit the NOT using
EPA’s electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) System available on EPA’s website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticides/enoi) unless eNOI is otherwise unavailable or the
Operator files a waiver from the requirement to use eNOI for submission of the
NOT. The Electronic Submission Waiver is at the top of this NOT form. An Operator
waived from the requirement to use eNOI for any NOT submission must certify to
EPA on this form that use of eNOI will incur undue burden or expense over the use
of the paper NOT form and then provide a basis for that determination.
Filing electronically is the fastest way to terminate permit coverage and help ensure

Who Must Complete a PDEW?
Any Operator, who is a Decision-maker required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI)
and is a small entity as defined in Appendix A of the permit may complete this
Pesticide Discharge Evaluation Worksheet (PDEW) to meet the requirements of
Part 7.4 of the PGP.
Pest management area, as defined in Appendix A of the permit, can be a large
area (e.g., an entire town) or a very specific well-defined management area (e.g., a
lake). Thus, a pest management area can have one or more treatment areas.
Operators required to retain the information contained on this worksheet must do
so for each treatment area. For treatment areas with the same or similar pests, the
Operator can use one worksheet to document pest management activities for
those multiple treatment areas.
When to Complete a PDEW?
Before any pesticide application, any Operator using this form to meet its
obligations under the PGP must complete Part B of this worksheet. Part C, except
for the pesticide application end date and total quantity of pesticide applied, must
be completed as soon as possible but no later than 14 days after the first pesticide
application. The total quantity of pesticide applied and the pesticide application end
date must be completed as soon as possible but no later than 14 days after
completion of pesticide application for this project.

Instructions for Completing the Annual Report Form for the Pesticide General Permit (PGP) for

Discharges from the Application of Pesticides

Who Must File an Annual Report with EPA?
Any Operator that is a Decision-maker required to submit a Notice of Intent (NOI)
and is a large entity as defined in Appendix A of the permit and any Decision-maker
required to submit an NOI solely because of their application results in a discharge
to Waters of the United States containing NMFS Listed Resources of Concern, must
submit an annual report to EPA each calendar year. Once required to submit an
annual report for one year, an annual report must be filed each subsequent year of
this permit whether or not you have discharges from the application of pesticides in
accordance with Section 7.6 of the permit.
When to File an Annual Report?
Any Operator required to file an annual report must submit the annual report no later
than February 15 of the following year for all pesticide activities covered under this
permit occurring during the previous calendar year. If the Operator is required to
submit an NOI based on an annual treatment area threshold, the annual report must
include information for the calendar year, with the first annual report required to
include activities for the portion of the calendar year after the point at which the
Operator exceeded the annual treatment area threshold. If the Operator first
exceeds an annual treatment area threshold after December 1 in a calendar year,
an annual report is not required for that first partial year but annual reports are
required thereafter, with the first annual report submitted also including information
from the first partial year.
When Operator terminates permit coverage, as specified in Part 1.2.5 of the permit,
an annual report must be submitted for the portion of the year up through the date of
termination. The annual report is due no later than February 15 of the following year.
Where to File the Annual Report?
The Operator must prepare and submit the Annual Report using EPA’s electronic
Notice of Intent (eNOI) system available on EPA’s website
(www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticides/enoi) unless eNOI is otherwise unavailable or the
Operator has filed a waiver from the requirement to use eNOI for submitting the
Annual Report. The Electronic Submission Waiver is at the top of this form. Any
Operator waived from the requirement to use eNOI for Annual Report submission
must certify to EPA on this form that use of eNOI will incur undue burden or
expense over the use of the paper Annual Report form and then provide a basis for
that determination.
If you do file a waiver from using eNOI; you must send the Annual Report to one of
the addresses listed below.

Section A. General Information

determination be questioned.
An adverse incident, as defined in the Appendix A of the permit, is an unusual or
unexpected incident that an Operator has observed upon inspection or of which the
Operator otherwise became aware, in which: (1) there is evidence that a person or

incident to the appropriate EPA Regional office at the address listed in Part 8 of the
permit and to the state lead agency for pesticide regulation (see
http://npic.orst.edu/state1.htm).
If an Operator becomes aware of an adverse incident affecting a federally listed
threatened or endangered species or its federally designated critical habitat which
may have resulted from a discharge from the Operator’s pesticide application, the
Operator must immediately notify the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in
the case of an anadromous or marine species, or the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) in the case of a terrestrial or freshwater species.
