Dear Ms. Purser,
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 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 Stormwater General Permit. After the form is reviewed and found to be complete, you will
receive a link with payment instructions for the $120 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 NCG01 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 NCG01 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, 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/Ownership 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. Please notify us if you plan to have a preconstruction
conference.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
'lho-vvia/il cab
