Dear Sir or Madam:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to
be acceptable with modifications and hereby issue this letter of Approval with Modifications. The
Modifications Required for Approval are listed on the attached page. 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 413.0129.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an
electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the
NCGO10000 Construction General Permit. After the form is reviewed and found to be complete,
you will receive a link with payment instructions for the $100 annual permit fee. After the fee is
received, you will receive the COC via email. You MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement
of any land disturbing activity. The eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please
direct questions about the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or Paul
Clark at [e-mail]. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the
new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.

Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 permit require that the following documentation be
kept on file at the job site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
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 Program 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. 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.
You are requested to file an amended form if there is any change in the information included on
the form. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed starting date for
this project. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
