Stream Classification: Other
Submitted By: Eagle Engineering
Date Received by LQS: October 11, 2021
Plan Type: New
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mersch:
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 4B .0129.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an electronic Notice
of Intent (NOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the NCG010000 Construction
Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to the commencement of any land disturbing
activity on the above named project. The NOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please direct
questions about the NOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette.lucas@ncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at
Paul.clark@ncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you
within three business days. Initially, DEMLR will not charge a fee for coverage under the NCGO1 permit.
However, on or after May 1, 2019, a $100 fee will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR
Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 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 NCGO1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days.
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, 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. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed
starting date for this project.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
Project Name: Twin Lakes Lot 44
Project ID: UNION-2022-033
County: Union
1. The new NCGO1 Construction stormwater permit requires Ground Stabilization and Materials
Handling and Self -Inspection, Recordkeeping and Reporting requirements on your plans. The NCGO1
compliance plan sheets for these can be found at https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-
land-resources/energy-mineral-land-permits/stormwater-permits/construction-sw.
2. If contiguous lots are graded such that one acre or more is disturbed, individual lot controls will
be insufficient, and surface dewatering is required in order to maintain compliance with the NPDES
general construction permit. This site is limited to individual lot disturbance. If contiguous lot
grading for lots totaling 1 acre or more is to take place, an approved plan is required before grading
takes place, with specific locations for surface dewatering, specifications and calculations for surface
dewatering. [N.C.G.S. 143-215.1]
3. Any off -site borrow and waste required for this project must come from a site with an approved
erosion control plan, a site regulated under the Mining Act of 1971, or a landfill regulated by the
Division of Solid Waste Management. Trash/debris from demolition activities or generated by any
activities on site must be disposed of at a facility regulated by the Division of Solid Waste
Management or per Division of Solid Waste Management or Division of Water Resources rules and
regulations. [15A NCAC 4B .0110]
4. The site, or portions of the site as applicable, are required to be stabilized after any period of
inactivity. Slopes steeper than 3: 1, perimeter dikes, swales, and ditches must be stabilized within 7
days. All other areas must be stabilized within 14 days. [N.C.G.S. 143-215.1]
5. Silt fence may not be placed such that portions of the lot are exposed to erosion. [15A NCAC 4B
.0105]
6. All access to the lots must be through the construction entrances. Construction entrances must
be in place prior to lot disturbance. [15A NCAC 4B .0105]
7. All inlets collecting drainage or that might potentially be affected by the lot construction shall
have inlet protection. Inlet protection must be maintained until all areas draining to the inlet are fully
stabilized. [15A NCAC 4B .0105]
8. All measures, including stone drive, will be inspected after rain and at least weekly for adequacy
and needed maintenance. [N.C.G.S. 143-215.1]
9. All disturbed areas not built upon will be provided with permanent groundcover. [N.C.G.S.
113A-57(2)]

10. Effective October 1, 2010, persons responsible for land disturbing activities must inspect the
sediment and erosion control measures on a project after each phase of the project to make sure that
the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is being followed. Self -inspection reports are
required. A sample self -inspection report, as well as details of the self -inspection program, can be
found on the Land Quality web site:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/construction
Not every project will have all the possible phases, but a list of phases may include:
• Installation of perimeter erosion and sediment control measures.
• Clearing and grubbing of existing ground cover.
• Completion of any phase of grading that requires provision of stabilization.
• Installation of measures during any phase of the project.
• Completion of construction or development.
• Quarterly inspections until the establishment of permanent ground cover is fully established.
Please note these inspection requirements are in addition to NPDES inspection requirements.
[N. C. G. S. 113A-54.1(e)]
11. Additional measures maybe necessary during the course of this project. [15A NCAC 4B .0115].
12. Provide two sets of hard copies with an updated sets of plan to this office.
