For an existing storm water discharge you must submit a
completed Notice of Intent (NOI).
For a new storm water discharge associated with industrial
activity, you must submit a complete NOI at least 24 hours prior to
the start of the operation.
Failure to notify the IDNR of a discharge of pollutants to waters
of the state is a violation of the Clean Water Act and Code of Iowa,
and is subject to civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day.
Applicable fees must accompany the completed NOI. Fees are
based on the following:
ATTENTION -

after August 1, 2008, must be accompanied by the increased fees
as follows:
1 year 3 years 4 years 5 years
$175.00 $350.00 $525.00 $700.00
If a facility opts to pay fees on an annual, three-, four-, or fiveyear
basis, the appropriate fee should be submitted to the IDNR
on the anniversary of obtaining the permit.
INDIVIDUAL PERMITS
Application for an individual permit requires completing EPA
or IDNR Form 1 and EPA Form 2F and/or IDNR Form 2, IDNR
Form 3, IDNR Form 4. NPDES permit approval will depend on
the information contained in these forms and are issued on a caseby-case
basis by the IDNR. Contact the IDNR at 515/281-7017 for
instruction when requesting coverage under an Individual Permit.
Applicable fees for the Individual Permit are:
Annual $300
Five-year $1,250
If you are renewing a permit, you do not need to post a public
notice again, but you will need to file a new NOI. Applicable fees
will need to accompany the completed NOI.
A notice of discontinuation (NOD) must be made in writing
to the IDNR within 30 days of the discontinuance of a storm
water discharge. General Permits 1, 2, and 3 each have a separate
NOD form that must be filed. For guidance on filing a NOD
for an Individual Permit, contact the IDNR or the Iowa Waste
Reduction Center.
NOTICE OF RELOCATION
The Notice of Relocation (NOR) form is to notify the IDNR
of a new site location(s) not included in a previous NOI and is
applicable to General Permit 3 permit holders only.
PERMIT RENEWAL
Prior to the expiration of an authorization issued under this
general permit, the permitee is required to resubmit a NOI (no
public notice required) with the Department of Natural Resources
for coverage under the new general permit. If a new general
permit has not been reissued prior to the expiration of the
current permit, the provision and coverage of the current permit
are extended until replaced by the adoption of a new general
permit.
Where do I send the NOI? How do I get other information?

Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The plan should identify potential
sources of pollution which may reasonable be expected to affect
the quality of storm water. Facilities must implement provisions of
the SWPPP required under the permit.
