Dear Diveraux Hamilton:
The City of Monroe Engineering Department has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan for
Lots 19-29 and 57-64. The noted plan has been reviewed and is found to be acceptable; therefore,you are issued
this Letter of Approval and Certificate of Plan Approval. Plan approvals shall expire within three (3) years following
the date of this approval if no land disturbing activity has been undertaken,as required by the City of Monroe Code
of Ordinance Chapter 158.16 (G).The Certificate of Approval, NCG01 permit, Certificate of Coverage (COC) and
record of inspections must be posted at a conspicuous location at the job site.If you proceed prior to approval of all
plans you are doing so at your own risk. Please contact the Permit Center to ensure you have all approvals needed
to begin.
Chapter 158.16 (H) of the City Ordinance requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the
job site. In addition,the City maintains the right of entry for periodic inspection as indicated in Chapter 158.17 (D) of
the City Ordinance and by the G.S. 1 13A-61.1(a).This letter is due notice of such inspection.
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 applicable
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 eNOl form and fee details may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions
about the eNOl 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 30 days.
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 1 13A-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 Division
of Water Quality's storm water regulations, 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 Quality,the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental
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 Land Quality Section must be notified of a
relocation of the measures in question to the transition point between 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 DWQ,
the Corps,or the EPA,it is the responsibility of the developer to inform the Land Quality Section 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.
Effective October 1, 2010, the Sedimentation Pollution Act requires that persons responsible for land disturbing
activities self-inspect their project to make sure that the approved erosion control plan is being followed.
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. The erosion control permit can be issued prior to an approved Stormwater
Management Permit once all erosion control requirements are met. Any changes to the plan during the Stormwater
Management and Utility Permit approval process that significantly alters the erosion control plan shall be addressed
through a revision submittal. The developer proceeds at their own risk prior to receiving all approvals associated with
site development.
This site is required to have a storm water permit. This grading plan approval is issued based upon the plans as
submitted, and may be revised should the storm water permit require it. The owner understands that any grading
activity is at his own risk until a storm water permit is obtained.
Please notify us to set up a preconstruction meeting prior to disturbing any land. If a preconstruction is not set up it
will be a violation. A copy of an approved Certificate of Coverage (COC) should be provided at this meeting.
Sincerely,
Tonya Griffin
