DIRECTOR NORTH CAROLINA S INTERNATIONAL CITY" September 21, 2021 Owner/ Financially Responsible Party High Point University 1 University Parkway High Point, NC 27268 RE: APPROVAL of EROSION and SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN Project: High Point University Erath Field at Williard Stadium Location: at/near 1020 N. University Parkway, High Point, NC 27268 Land -Disturbing Permit 9 EN 21 0201 2371 Dear Sir or Madam: The Engineering Services Department has completed the review process for the revised Soil Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan submitted under ACCELA Record SP 210035 on 9/21/2021 for the project referenced above. Based on our review, the plan is hereby approved. This plan approval will specifically cover the Erosion and Sediment Control measures required for both the Grading Phase and the Building Phase. If a different identity (from the Grading Phase) executes the Building Phase, this approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SCP) may be transferred to the firm/person executing the Building Phase. Prior to transferring the plan, written authorization and a Financial Responsibility Form must be submitted to our office for review. The terms and conditions of the approved plan shall remain in place unless otherwise noted. The Erosion Control Measures shown on the plan(s) are approximate. Some field adjustment may be required to make the measures work correctly. An Erosion Control Financial Guarantee (Surety) is required to be submitted prior to any Land -Disturbing activities. This refundable guarantee shall remain in force until the work is completed in accordance with the Land -Disturbance Permit and the work is approved by the Engineering Services Director. The amount of the guarantee required is $2000.00 per disturbed acre and can be in the form of a Check, Irrevocable Letter of Credit, Equivalent Security or Surety Bond. The Check, Irrevocable Letter of Credit or Equivalent Security can be deposited with the City or held in escrow with a Financial Institution as per Section 2.6.5 — Performance Guarantee of the City of High Point Development Ordinance. Surety bonds will be held by the city until released. This letter will serve notice that: • As per NCGS 15A NCAC 04B .0120 (b) and (c), INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS, this letter shall serve as notice that inspection of sites shall be carried out by the staff of Department of Environmental Quality or other qualified persons authorized by the Commission or Department of Environmental as necessary to carry out its duties under the Act and no person shall refuse entry or access to any representative of the Commission or any representative of a local government who requests entry for purposes of inspection. • As per High Point Development Ordinance 2.5.10.G.I and 2, the Land -Disturbing Permit will become null and void one (1) year from the date of issuance. You may request in writing, 180-day permit extension 30 days prior to the expiration date, for good cause. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Land Disturbing Permit issued by the City of High Point is conditional based on the applicant's compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations, and rules. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided on the submitted Financial Responsibility Form. If any changes to the submitted Financial Responsibility Form (e.g., ownership, address, company name) occur, then you are required to submit an amended form showing such changes. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan does not supersede any other permit or approval. • This Letter of Approval must be posted at the site of the land disturbing activity along with the Land -Disturbing Permit, the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, a copy of the NPDES/NCGO 10 Permit, and a copy of the Certificate of Coverage (COC). • Records of Inspections must be kept on site for twelve (12) months. • All data used to complete the e-NOI, and all Inspection Records must be maintained for a period of three (3) years and available upon request (40 CFR 122.41). • Construction site pollutants must be maintained on -site and not allowed to reach the state's waters. Any spent fluids from construction traffic must be cleaned up and disposed of properly. Any herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer must be used in accordance with the label restrictions. All wastes composed of building materials shall be disposed of in accordance with North Carolina General Statues, Chapter 130A, Article 9 Solid Waste Management, and rules governing the disposal of solid waste (NC Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 13B). No dumping of paint and other liquid building material waste in storm drains. Concrete materials onsite, including excess concrete, must be controlled, and managed to avoid contact with surface waters, wetlands, or buffers. No concrete slurry shall be discharged from the site. • Only minor deviation from the approved plan can be approved by the Erosion Control 2 Inspector. Deviations are limited to the following deficiencies: o Addition of E&SC measures (e.g., silt fence, inlet protection, check dam, rolled erosion control practices, etc.). o Relocation of E&SC Measures that improve the overall stormwater and sediment control. • Erosion Control Measures must be maintained until site is stabilized with sufficient ground cover. The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NCGS 113A-51 through 66) is performance -oriented, requiring protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If following the commencement of this project, the approved E&SCP is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973, revisions to the plan may be required by the Erosion Control Inspector. • A condition of this approval is that the streets in this phase must be kept free of sediment. Erosion Control Measures to prevent construction traffic from tracking sediment onto the streets must be maintained. Any debris or sediment shall be cleaned from the street surface immediately. • All applicable fees must be paid prior to the issuance of the Land -Disturbing Permit. When you are ready for the Land -Disturbing Permit to be issued, please notify my office to arrange for a pre -construction meeting.
