Project ID: 21-11-GCCP-10044
County: Guilford
River Basin: Cape Fear.
Watershed Classification: Jordan Lake
Submitted By: McAdams
Date Received by Erosion Control Section: 5-25-22
Plan Type: Erosion Control
Dear Sir or Madam:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to
be acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval
must be posted at the job site. 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 deg.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to the
Stormwater Program Staff in the Raleigh Central Office. 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 NCG01 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.
Please be advised that Title 15A NCAC 413 .0118(a) requires that a copy of the approved
erosion control plan as well as any approved deviation be on file at the job site. This title also
requires to have the NCG01 permit with the COC and records of inspection made during the
previous 12 months to be in the onsite file. You should consider this letter to give the notice

required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to insure 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 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.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the
Financial Responsibility Form, which you have provided. This permit allows for a land -
disturbance, as called for on the grading permit application/plan, not to exceed the approved
acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan.
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. This letter does not supersede the grading permit card. The grading permit
card is issued by Erosion Control Staff at the pre -construction meeting conducted on the
permitted site. Grading without a signed permit card is a violation of County and
applicable local ordinances. Please notify our office to schedule the pre -construction
conference.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Earl Davis&X)W" -

ENVIRONMENTAL BULLETIN

GRADING PERMITS
Grading permits are required for certain land
disturbing activities to protect bodies of water and
adjacent property from sedimentation and erosion.
Guilford County issues permits for unincorporated
County, Jamestown, Stokesdale, Summerfield,
Whitsett, Sedalia, Pleasant Garden and Oak Ridge.
A grading permit is required when any area over one
(1) acre (43,560 square feet) is grubbed or graded.
Examples of development requiring grading permits
include: subdivisions, shopping centers, commercial
and industrial development, apartments, townhouses,
churches, and recreational development. Exemptions
from grading permit requirements include: disturbed
areas less than (one) 1 acre in size, agriculture,
mining, and area— under State or Federal jurisdiction.
A grading permit issued by Guilford County is valid
for one (1) calendar year, unless the permit is revoked
or the project is completed. The permit can be
renewed for an additional six (6) month period by
making a written request to the Guilford County
Planning and Development Department, Inspections
Division. Reissued grading permits do not have to pay
another permit fee (unless revoked), but the erosion
control surety must remain in effect.
APPLICATIONS
The following items are needed to apply for a grading
permit: (L) Four (4) copies of an Erosion
Control/Grading Plan prepared and sealed by a
registered professional engineer, architect, landscape
architect, or registered surveyor. Three (3) copies
should be submitted to Guilford County Planning and
Development and one (1) copy should be submitted to
the Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District,
3309 Burlington Road, Greensboro, N.C. 27405,
telephone number 336-375-5401. (2.) A grading
permit application. (3.) Financial responsibility
statement. If the person financially responsible is not a
resident of North Carolina, a North Carolina agent
must be designated in the statement. (4.) Erosion
control surety in the amount of $1,500.00 per acre
disturbed, to the nearest 1/10 of an acre. (Sureties for
GRADING PERMITS
demolition landfills are $2,000.00 per acre). Sureties
include bonds, irrevocable letters of credit, cashier's
check, cash, and escrow accounts payable to Guilford
County. (5.) Payment of the grading permit fee based
on disturbed acreage (see fee schedule).
Plan should be submitted thirty (30) days prior to
commencement of the land disturbing activity. Plans
are reviewed in the order that they are received and
plans can be (1) approved, (2) punch -listed, or (3)
denied for various reasons. A punch -listed plan may
be corrected and resubmitted. Denial of a plan entitles
the applicant to a public hearing within fifteen (15)
days after receipt of written notice of disapproval. The
Guilford County Planning Board hears appeals within
thirty (30) days of the appeal request and makes a
recommendation to the Guilford County Board of
Commissioners. The Commissioners will render a
final decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
recommendations from the Planning Board. If the
appeal is denied, the applicant may further appeal to
the North Carolina Sedimentation Control
Commission.
EROSION CONTROL INSPECTIONS
Guilford County Erosion Control Staff will
periodically inspect the sites of land disturbing
activity to determine compliance with the plan. They
will indicate any areas that are weak and help answer
any questions that might arise. One important
inspection is the point at which the devices (i.e., silt
fences, sedimentation pits, etc.) have been installed.
Maintenance inspection is the final inspection. The
permit can be finalized after the site improvements
have been made and after the site has been stabilized.
CIVIL PENALTIES
A violation of the erosion control law could result in a
civil penalty of up to $5000.00 per day.
