Date Received by LQS: February 14, 2023
Plan Type: Revised
Dear Mr. Andress:
The subject erosion and sedimentation control plan has been approved by default. . The Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act (hereinafter "Act") states that this plan must be filed a minimum of 30 days (15 days for
revised plans) prior to the activity and the approving authority must approve or disapprove the submitted plan
within 30 days (15 days for revised plans) of receipt of G.S. 113A-54.1. The Act further states that if the
approving authority fails to approve or disapprove the submitted plan within the 30-day (15 days for revised
plans) period, the plan will be deemed approved. 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 (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 Party shown on the FRO form submitted for this project, you MUST obtain
the COC prior to commencement of any land disturbing activity. The eNOI form may be accessed at
deq.nc.gov/NCGOI. 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 NCGO1 permit require that the following documentation be kept on file
at the job site:
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources

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 ensure
compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolinas 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. This permit allows for a land -disturbance, as called for on the
application plan, not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit
and would require a revised plan and additional application fee. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify
this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Geop9e Maws
