RE: Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
Lambs Boating Facility
US 158, Camden - Camden County
Drainage Basin: Pasquotank
Date Received: February 16, 1999
Responsible Party: Larry Lamb
Dear Mr. Lamb:

COASTAL MANAGEMENT
This office has completed its review of the erosion and sedimentation control plan for the
referenced 1.5 acre disturbance. We have determined the submitted plan for the construction of a
dredge spoil area, if properly implemented, will meet the minimum- requirements of the Act and
hereby issue this LETTER OF APPROVAL WITH the following MODIFICATION.
A North Carolina Mining Permit for the entire area affected by the dredging activities
will be required prior to removing any material from this tract.
In 1973, the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (copy available upon request) was
enacted. It established a performance oriented program requiring a project owner or developer to
protect adjoining natural resources and properties, both during and after construction, from the
effects of accelerated erosion. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to understand and comply with the
requirements of the Act.
In addition to any above listed modifications or conditions, the following also apply to the
approved plan:
— an erosion and sedimentation control plan is only valid for 3 years
following the date of initial approval, if no land -disturbing activity -
has been undertaken;

a copy of the latest approved soil erosion and control plan must be
on file at the job site;
a buffer zone, sufficient to restrain visible sedimentation, must be
provided and maintained between the land -disturbing activity and
any adjacent property or watercourse;
— new or affected slopes must be at an angle that can be retained by
vegetative cover;
-- (effective Oct 1, 1998) barren slopes must be provided with g
ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within the shorter of 15
working dW or 30 calendar days of completion of any phase
(rough or final) of grading (RYE GRASS I NOT in the approved
seedtngspecications nor is it an ACCEPTABLE substitute for the
providing of a ground cover);
-- unless a temporary, manufactured, lining material has been
specified a clean straw mulch must be appliea4 at the minimum rate
of 2 tons/acre, to all seeded areas. The mulch must cover at least
75% of the seeded area after it is either tacked with an acceptable
tacking material, or crimped in place;
-- in order to meet the intent of the Act, the scheduling of the land -
disturbing activities is to be such that both the area of exposure and
- the Sme between flue land disturbance and the providing of a ground
is minimized;
-- a permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion, must be
within the shorter of 30 working or 120 calendar days after
completion of construction or development, and,
-- this approval and the financial responsibility/liability cited in it does
not automatically transfer with a change in project ownership.
Be advised that to ensure compliance with the approved plan and the program requirements,
unannounced periodic inspections will be made. If the implemented plan is determined to be
inadequate, this office may require that it be revised to comply with state law. Failure to comply with
any part of the approved plan or with any requirements of this program, could result in the taking of
appropriate legal action against the financially responsible party (Larry Lamb). One option is the
assessing of a civil penalty of up to $500 per day for each day the site is out of compliance.
In recognizing the desirability of early coordination of sedimentation control, we believe it
would be beneficial for you and your contractor to arrange a preconstruction conference to discuss
the requirements of the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan. It would be appreciated

if you would contact this office to advise Mr. Bill Crew (252-946-6481, ext. 374) of the construction
start-up date, contractor and an on -site contact person or, please, complete and return the attached
Project Information sheet to the above named.
The land -disturbing activity described in this plan may require approval or permitting from
other Federal, State or local agencies. These could include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under
Article 404 jurisdiction, the Division of Water Quality - Surface Water Section under stormwater
regulations (contact Mr. Bill Moore, 252-946-6481, ext. 264), county, city or town agencies under
other local ordinances, or other approvals that may be required. This approval does not supersede
any other approval or permit.
