Dear Mr. Bowler,
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 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/NCG01. 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:
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 ensure 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,
Fred Walker, PE

MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
Project Name: HAWK RIDGE LANDING - LOUDERMILK
Project ID: CHERO-2023-016
County: Cherokee
Submit two revised plan sets,with Project Number CHERO-2023-016 noted in the response
letter, to the Asheville Regional Office - Land Quality Section addressed to Fred Walker.
Any portion of the project associated with the modification comments should not begin
until a revised plan is submitted to and approved by this office. Additional review
comments may be generated if the proposed design is altered significantly to address the
comments below.
1. Provide a notarized executed Financial Responsibility/Ownership form with Parts
A.9 and B.1 completed that exactly match the deed and information on file with the
N.C. Secretary of State. {G.S. 113A-54.1.(a)} ,
2. Provide phased sheets for the project,for a project of this scope and nature a
minimum of three phases should be incorporated into the E&SC plan. {15A NCAC
04B .0106(a)(2)}
3. Revise the construction sequence to include the following language: no major
grading activities or basin construction are to take place during wet weather or
periods of predicted wet weather i.e. Hurricanes; notify NCDEQ LQS inspector when
project is ready for a close out inspection; file for NPDES NCG010000 e-Notice of
Termination when final close out inspection report is received from NCDEQ LQS;
install inlet protection by the end of the workday for all constructed SW inlets;
specify order in which significant E&SC measures must be installed and related
areas in which they protect i.e. TCE, then perimeter controls, stabilized outlets,then
basins,then conveyances, proceed with clearing and grubbing for Phase X,install
additional measures X,then XX, then XXX for Phase II, continue to add stabilization
and seeding for areas not stabilized; specify the order that the traps and basins and
their collection systems be installed in before any other grading takes place on site;
prior to construction of the sediment basin, silt fence shall be installed below the toe
of the proposed embankment of the sediment basin to prevent sedimentation
damage during sediment trap construction; sediment basin and trap embankments
shall be provided with adequate groundcover immediately upon construction; after
the drainage areas to the basins and traps have been permanently stabilized,
dewater the basins. Fill the basins using stockpiled soil and bring to finish grade in
compacted Iifts. Smooth the basin sites to blend with the surrounding area,
ensuring the basin sites will not pond water, and immediately permanently
stabilize; dewatering operations must be discharged into adequate stilling basin or
comparable measure to prevent the discharge of sediment; construct SW system
from point A to point B while installing inlet protection as soon as each inlet is
constructed; inspect and cleanout SW system before bringing online; specify when
E&SC measures are to be converted into post-construction SW BMP's i.e.sediment

basin converted to retention pond-requires separate individual sequence for
conversion; road construction shall be limited to 1000 linear feet of disturbed area
at any given time. Land Quality Staff may authorize additional linear footage of
disturbance if weather and site conditions allow; Site must be "storm ready"before
any extended breaks in construction activities including weekends; for sites using
slope drains, at the end of each day,the contractor shall establish a berm or ditch at
the top of all fill slopes. The berm or ditch shall be constructed to prevent potential
runoff from sheet flowing over and down the slope. Positive drainage shall be
established to the inlets of any slope drains. {15A NCAC 04B .0106(a)(2)}
4. Provide a drainage area map that illustrates the drainage areas for the basins and
culverts. {15A NCAC 04B .0108}
5. Skimmers must be utilized if a sediment basin is over 1 acre in drainage area.
Provide location and skimmer construction detail. Proposed contours must be
added to all sediment trap/basin slope contours. Show emergency spillway
locations for all basins. It appears that traps have been used in some areas where
basins need to be designed,verify all drainage areas and sizing requirements.
6. Provide stabilized inlets and outlets for all proposed conveyances and basins. {G.S.
113A-57.(3)}
7. Hatch all areas that must meet 7-day stabilization requirement specified in NPDES
NCG010000.
8. Provide double row wire backed silt fence or super silt fence below all long or steep
fill slopes. Reinforced outlets should be used adjacent to conveyance discharge
points. {G.S. 113A-57.(3)}
9. Show the final discharge point for the reinforced ditch located in the southwestern
portion of the site. {G.S. 113A-57.(4)}
10. Provide compaction requirements for fill slope in addition to the lift requirement
provided. {G.S. 113A-57.(3)}
11. Remove the Limits of Disturbance from the stockpile area since stockpiling is a land
disturbing activity. {G.S. 113A-57.(4)}
12. Specify transverse slope for proposed roadways so that runoff flows towards curb
and does not create a concentrated flow path down the roadway. {G.S. 113A-57.(3)}
