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.

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
