file at the job site:
The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCGOI permit and the COC, once it is received.

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, the
erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute I I3A-51 through 66), this office may require
revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to insure 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.

in the information included on the form. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the
