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 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 who are also Decision-makers must submit NOIs.
Note: NOIs submitted under the 2011 PGP are automatically terminated on
October 31, 2016. Decision-maker who are required to submit an NOI must submit a
new NOI to obtain coverage under the 2016 PGP.
If you have questions about whether you need to file an NOT or questions about
completing the form, see https://www.epa.gov/npdes/pesticide-permitting or contact
the NOI Center toll free at 866-352-7755.
