Based on rules established by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Management
Land Resources (DEMLR) as of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete
and submit an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under
the NCG010000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to the
commencement of any land disturbing activity on the above mentioned project. The NOI form may be
accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Paul Clark at
Paul.clarkna,ncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI form, a COC will be emailed to
you within three business days. A $120 fee will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the
DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Rowan County's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is performance oriented, requiring
protection of the 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 Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru
66), which are set forth in the local ordinance, 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 pursuant to G.S. 113A-61(b1).
