Title 15A NCAC 4B _01 18(a) and the NCGOI permit require that the following documentation be
kept on file al. the job site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The '�CGOI permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days.
Also; this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 1 13A-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 ofthis 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 rev.isi.ons to ensure compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with rederal and State
eater 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 cf the infonnation provided in the
Financial Responsibility Form, which you provided. You are requested to file an amended form
if there is any change in the inforination 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,

Project Name: Crete Solutions, Concrete Plant
Project ID: BRUN'S-2019-060
County: Brunswick
1. 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 ",,CAC 413 .0129.
2. As proposed the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Application does not show that runoff from
the site will be diverted to the offsite stormwater pond. Any addition in swales or piping, over that
already noted on the approved plan, would require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the
erosion control measures and stormwater retention measures (_-NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).
The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion and
sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the developer must take those additional steps
necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site (NCGS 113A-57(3)). Each sediment storage device
must be inspected after each storm event (\CGS 113A-54.1(e)). Maintenance and/or clean out is
necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity. All sediment storage measures will remain on site
and functional until all grading and f nal landscaping of the project is complete (15A NCAC 04B .0113).
4. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed io be left undisturbed by the proposed
development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel
is prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regarded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
or less steep (15A -',,CAC 04B .0124 (d)). Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is
considered new earth work and is subject to the same crosion control requirements as new ditches
(NCGS 113A-52(6)).
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 our agency's Stormwater regulations and the Division of Water Resources' enforcement
requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of 1 ngineers'
jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA
requirements, the Division of Solid Waste Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental
Protection Agency and/or The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, 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 highland would still have to be in
compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
6. 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
(DWR), 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 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
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 ('ICGS
1 1 3A-54.I (b)).
Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved source.
Any soil waste that leaves this site can be transported to a permitted inine or separately permitted
construction sites without additional permits underNCGS 74-49(7)(d)_ Disposal at any other location would
have to be included as a permit revision for this approval.
S. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed 5_0 acres.
Execeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and additional
application fee. Any addition in impervious surface, over that already noted on the approved plan, would
also require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the erosion control measures and stornnwater
retention measures (\C'(3S I I3A-54.I{b)).
9. The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and steel posts a maximum of
eight (8) feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change that necessitates more posts
for support, i.e., the spacing distance needs to be reduced to no greater than six (6) feet apart (E&SC Planning
& Design Manual 6.63, Rev. 6/06).
10. Because the sediment traps and basins are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation and erosion
control devices on this project, it is necessary that the traps and basins and their collection systems be
installed before any other grading takes place on site, and that every structure that receives more than one
acre of drainage is built so that each dewaters only from the surface (NICG010000). If that proves to be
impractical, a revised plan must be submitted and approved that addresses erosion and sediment control
needs during the interim period until the traps and basins are fully functioning (I 13A-54.I (b)).
1 I . A graveled construction entrance must be located at each point ofaccess and egress available to construction
vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and egress from the project site
at a point without a graveled entrance will be considered a violation of this approval. Routine maintenance
of the entrances is critical (I13A-54.1(b)).
12. As a condition of the NPDES General Storrnwater Permit (NCG010000), the financially responsible
party shall comply with the NCGO1 Ground Stabilization And Materials Handling requirements that
became effective April L 2019. The NCGOI Ground Stabilization And Materials Handling standard
detail can be printed from the deq.nc.gov/tiCG01 website.
13. As a condition of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit (\CGO10000), the financially responsible
party shall comply with the tiCG01 Self -Inspection, Recordkeeping and Reporting requirements that
became effective April 1, 2019. The \CGO1 Self -Inspection, Recordkeeping and Reporting standard
detail can be printed from the deq.nc.gov/ ,XGOI websiie.
14. As a part of routine monitoring of the approved land -disturbing activity, the financially responsible party
shall assure inspections of the area covered by the approved plan after each phase of the plan has been
completed and after establishment of temporary ground cover in accordance with North Carolina General
Statute 113A-54_I(e)_
