Important information about User Roles to help you prepare and/or submit an application (specific to NCG01 or NCG25 NPDES Construction Stormwater):

Responsible Official (RO) is defined as the representative with the authority to be the primary decision-maker for the property or business function.

  • Signature Authority
  • This role is responsible and accountable for compliance.
  • Ability to Prepare/Submit applications, modifications, data/reports and pay fees (see individual rules for the program).
  • Examples: Owner, Operator, Plant Manager, Corporate Officer, Elected Official, LLC owner/operator, etc.

Delegated Responsible Official (DRO) is defined as a duly Authorized Representative within the RO’s organization who has been given specific powers/authority to act on the behalf of the RO.

Delegation of duties to the Authorized Representative must be approved in advance and documented. This process takes place during the application procedure at the signing step. To indicate that you are a Delegated Responsible Official, follow these steps: request approval, print the Delegation of Signature Authority (DOSA) form, and mail the wet-signed paper copy of the DOSA form to the Stormwater Program per the instructions. Please note that the paper copy only needs to be submitted once for each Delegated Responsible Official within a specific organization.

  • Signature Authority
  • This role can submit applications and compliance reports.
  • Federal permits (like NCG01/NCG25) must have the DROs be a part of their organization.
  • Ability to Prepare/Submit applications, modifications, notice of terminations (NOTs), data/reports, and pay fees (see individual rules for the program).
  • Examples: Public Works Director, High Ranking Official, etc.

Preparer is defined as someone that prepares permit applications or compliance reports on behalf of the DRO or RO.

  • This role does not have the authority to submit applications or compliance reports.
  • Can pay fees on behalf of the DRO or RO once an application has been submitted by the RO/DRO.
  • Examples: Consultant, Agent, Contractor, etc.
