Science Facilities—Barbee Avenue
Location: 1014 Barbee Avenue, High Point, NC 27260
Land-Disturbing Permit##EN1901232269
Dear Sir or Madame:
The Engineering Services Department has completed the review Process for the Soil. Erosion
Sedimentation Control Plan submitted on 5-07-201.9 for the project referenced above. leased on
our review, the plan is hereby approved.
This plan will specifically cover the Erosion and 'Sediment Control Measures during the
Grading and Building Phases. If a different identity executes the Building Phase, this
approved Erosion and Sediment Control. Plan(E&SCP) may be transferred to the
firm/person executing the Building Phase. Prior to transferring the plan, written
authorization and a Financial Responsibility Form must be submitted to our office for
review. The terms and conditions of the approved plan shall remain in place unless
otherwise noted,.
The Erosion Control Measures shown on the plan(s) are approximate. Some field adjustment
may be required to make the measures work correctly,
This letter will serve notice that:
As per NCGS 15A NCAC 04B .0120 (b) and (c), INSPECTIONS AND
INVESTIGATIONS,this letter shall serve as notice that inspection of sites shall be
carried out by the staff of Department of Environmental (duality or other qualified
persons authorized by the Commission or Department of Environmental as necessary to

carry out its duties under the Act and No person shall refuse entry or access to any
representative of the Commission or any representative of a local government who
requests entry for purposes of inspection.
• As per High Point Development Ordinance 2.5.10.G.1 and 2, the Land-Disturbing Permit
will become null and void one (1) year from the date of issuance. You may request in
writing, a 180-day permit extension 30 days prior to the expiration date, for good cause.
• The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Land Disturbing
Permit issued by the City of High Point is conditional based on the applicant's
compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations, and rules.
• The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is based in part on the
accuracy of the information provided on the submitted Financial Responsibility Form. If
any changes to the submitted Financial Responsibility Form (e.g. ownership, address,
company name) occur, then you are required to submit an amended form showing such
changes.
• The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan does not supersede any
other permit or approval.
• Approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, authorizes the permittee to
discharge stormwater in accordance with the standard and regulations of current General
Permit NCGO10 and the National Pollutant Elimination System(NPDES).
• This Letter of Approval must be posted at the site of the land disturbing activity along
with the Land-Disturbing Permit, the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, a
copy of the NPDES/NCGO10 Permit, and a copy of the Certificate of Coverage (COC).
• Records of Inspections must be kept on site for twelve (12) months. The
• All data used to complete the e-NOI and all Inspection Records must be maintained for a
period of three (3) years and available upon request (40 CFR 122.41).
• Construction site pollutants must be maintained on-site and not allowed to reach the
state's waters. Any spent fluids from construction traffic must be cleaned up and disposed
of properly. Any herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer must be used in accordance to the
label restrictions. All wastes composed of building materials shall be disposed of in
accordance with North Carolina General Statues, Chapter 130A, Article 9—Solid Waste
Management, and rules governing the disposal of solid waste (NC Administrative Code
Section 15A NCAC 1313). No dumping of paint and other liquid building material waste
in storm drains. Concrete materials onsite, including excess concrete, must be controlled
and managed to avoid contact with surface waters, wetlands or buffers. No concrete
slurry shall be discharged from the site.
+ Only minor deviation from the approved plan can be approved by the Erosion Control
Inspector prior to address the following deficiencies:
o Addition of E&SC measures (e.g., silt fence, inlet protection, check dam, rolled
erosion control practices, etc.).
o Relocation of E&SC Measures that improve the overall stormwater and sediment
control.
• Erosion Control Measures must be maintained until site is stabilized with sufficient
ground cover. The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NCGS 113A-51
through 66) is performance-oriented, requiring protection of existing natural resources
and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, the approved
E&SCP is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit
April 2019E Wal l.,I I 0_1111a�
The NC Construction General Permit(also known as"NCGO1")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 NCGO1 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 Annette,llu�q�.sncd�enr. gy or(919)707-3639,
