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. 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.Please notify us if you plan
to have a preconstruction conference.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Fact Sheet on the New CG01 Permit -�
A ri12Q99 . - •
•
p
The NC Construction General Permit(also known as"NCG01")was renewed on April 1, 2019.The updated permit
does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites. However,
there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably,there is a new
process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCG01 permit through an electronic
process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or [phone].
