Address: Rockford Drive
River Basin: Yadkin Pee -Dee
Stream Classification: WS-I1I
Submitted By: Summey Engineering Associates, PLLC
Date Received by LQS: August 15, 2022
Plan Type: New
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 4B .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 NCG010000
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 processed, you will
receive the COC via email. As the Financially Responsible Parry shown on the FRO form submitted for
this project, you MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement of any land disturbing
activity. The eNOI farm may be accessed atdeq.nc.gov/NCGO]. Please direct questions about
the eNOI form to the Stormwater Program staff in the Raleigh central office. If the owner/operator of
this project changes in the future, the new responsible party must obtain a new COC.

Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGOI 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 12 months.
Also, this letter gives 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 Act 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. 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: Rockford Drive Subdivision
Project ID: RANDO-2023-004
County: Randolph
Modifications pursuant to applicable North Carolina General Statutes and/or Rellulations:
1. Per Section 6.20 of the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design
Manual, diversions that will stay in place longer than 30 working days should be seeded and
mulched as soon as they are constructed to preserve dike height and reduce maintenance. [G.S.
113A-57(2)]
2. Please include check dams and/or waddles in the diversion ditches. Check dams are discussed in
Section 6.83 of the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.
If you use waddles, please follow all manufacturers' specifications. [G.S. 113A-57(3)]
3. Due to proximity to a water supply stream buffer and site topography, 2 layers of wire -backed
silt fencing is recommended.
4. The following silt fence material specifications are recommended:
• Use a synthetic filter fabric of at least 95% by weight of polyolefins or polyester, which is
certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to the requirements in ASTM D
6461.
• Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a
minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 120
degrees Fahrenheit.
• Ensure that posts for sediment fences are 1.33 lb/linear ft steel with a minimum length of 5
feet. Make sure that steel posts have projections to facilitate fastening the fabric.
• For reinforcement of standard strength filter fabric, use wire fence with a minimum 14 gauge
and a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches.
5. Concrete washout station and stockpiles should not be located within 50 feet of any storm drain,
basin, or stream unless no alternative is feasible. [G.S. 143-215.1]
6. This ESC plan approval is for mass grade and padding of the lots, but not individual lot
development. Be advised that any homebuilder would be required to obtain an independent plan
approval. [113A-57(3), 15A NCAC 4B .0118]
7. 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
Letter of Approval with Modifications

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]
8. Additional measures may be required - The applicant is responsible for the control of sediment
on -site. If the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the
applicant must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site.
[15A NCAC 4B .0115]
9. The NCGO1 has a $100 yearly fee and our office often receives closure inspection requests days
prior to yearly NCGO1 fee payment due dates. Be advised the project requires a closure
inspection report by DEMLR prior to filing the Notice of Termination (NOT) to terminate
NCGO1 coverage. The closure inspection should not be requested until after the site has
achieved full vegetative stabilization and measures have been removed. The removal of
temporary ESC measures, including basins, requires prior approval. Often, a full growing season
is necessary between initial seeding/mulching and removal of measures. Please plan your
construction accordingly to avoid contacting our office prematurely for a closure inspection.
Also be advised you may be asked for representative site pictures prior to a closure inspection.
