Dear Mr. Heckman:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan and hereby issues this Letter
of Approval. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land-
disturbing activity has been undertaken,as is required by Title 15A NCAC 4B .0129. Should the plan not
perform adequately, a revised plan will be required(G.S. 113A-54.1)(b).
"This project meets the NCGO1 exemption as defined in the Clean Water Act (CWA) section
402(1)(2) for<transmission facilities,drill pads,processing facilities,access roads, etc.>."
Also,this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a)of our right of periodic inspection to ensure
compliance with the approved plan.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a)requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job
site. Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
ensure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance-oriented, requiring protection of
existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, it is
determined that the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 through 66), this
office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to ensure compliance with the
Act.

Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State water
quality laws,regulations, and rules. In addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may also apply to
this land-disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or approval.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the Financial
Responsibility Form,which you provided.You are requested to file an amended form if there is any change
in the information included on the form. This permit allows for a land-disturbance, as called for on the
application plan,not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit
and would require a revised plan and additional application fee.In addition,it would be helpful if you notify
this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
