Dear Ms. Groves:
The subject erosion and sedimentation control plan was 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 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 $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/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 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 NCGO 1 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. 1 13A-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,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.
The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the development of this project
prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could include agencies such as the DEMLER
Stormwater regulations, Division of Water Resources, Water Quality Section regulations, and their enforcement
requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act,the Environmental Protection Agency and/or the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers'jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,the Division of Solid Waste Management's
landfill regulations, local County or Municipalities' ordinances,or others that may be required. This approval cannot
supersede any other permit or approval; however, in the case of a Cease and Desist Order from the Corps of Engineers,
that Order would only apply to wetland areas. All upland areas would still have to be in compliance with the N.C.
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act,the developer is responsible
for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water Resources,the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental
2

Protection Agency(EPA)respectively. Any erosion control measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland areas must be
approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to installation. The DEMLR must be notified of a relocation of the
measures in question to the transition point between the wetlands and the uplands to assure that the migration of sediment
will not occur. If that relocation presents a problem or contradicts any requirements of either DWR,the Corps, or the
EPA, it is the responsibility of the developer to inform the DEMLR regional office so that an adequate contingency plan
can be made to assure sufficient erosion control remains on site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of this
approval.
You are requested to file an amended Financial Responsibility/Ownership Form, if there is any change in the information
provided to our office at the time of the initial plan submittal. This permit allows for a land-disturbance, as called for on
the application and plan, not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage can be a violation of this permit and
may 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.
MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
Provide one full-size copy of revised plan sheets corresponding to the e-mail/PDF received in the DEMLR office on
February 27, 2024,prior to beginning any land disturbing activity.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
