Before submitting a NOT, which condition must be satisfied?

• A. The NOI has been filed
• B. Final stabilization has been achieved
• C. The BMP map is complete
• D. The site is in compliance with local stormwater management requirements

Answer: (D)

Before submitting a Notice of Termination, the site must be in compliance with local stormwater management requirements. This ensures that all local permits, inspections, and post-construction controls are satisfied, so ending federal coverage won’t leave the site with unresolved issues under local oversight. While final stabilization and a completed BMP map are important, they alone don’t guarantee that termination is appropriate if local authorities still require ongoing management or reporting. The NOI is a start-of-project step and isn’t the condition for termination. The essential prerequisite is meeting local stormwater requirements before terminating coverage.
