Dear Ms. Rutledge:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be
acceptable with modifications and hereby issue this letter of Approval with Modifications. The
Modifications Required for Approval are listed on the attached page.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 NCAC 413 .0129.
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 NCGO10000
Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted and COC issued prior to
the commencement of any land disturbing activity on the above-named project. The NOI form may
be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette Lucas at
Annette.lucasPncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul.clarkPncdenr.gov.After you submit a complete and
correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three business days. Initially, DEMLR will
not charge a fee for coverage under the NCG01 permit. However, a $100 fee will soon be charged
annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.

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 12 months.
Also,this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
insure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program 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. 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. You are
requested to file an amended form if there is any change in the information 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,

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 NCAC 413 .0129.
2. 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(NCGS 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 final landscaping of the
project is complete (15A NCAC 04B .0113).
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to 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 NCAC 04B .0124 (d)). Bank slopes may
be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered new earth work and is subject to the
same erosion control requirements as new ditches (NCGS 113A-52(6)).
4. 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
Engineers' 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.
S. 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 (NCGS 113A-
54.1(b)).

6. 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 mine
or separately permitted construction sites without additional permits under NCGS 74-
49(7)(d). Disposal at any other location would have to be included as a permit revision for
this approval.
7. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed
4.1 acres. Exceeding 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 stormwater retention measures (NCGS
113A-54.1(b)).
8. 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).
9. This site is exceptional in that portions of the site have been carved out separately in order
to mine and transport soil off-site in areas that will eventually be amenity ponds for this
facility. Even the site's topography soil may get collected within the excavated areas. This
will not be considered off-site sedimentation. Any soil going to other property outside the
limits of land disturbance is not acceptable and will considered off-site requiring additional
sediment control devices beyond the currentplan's recommendations. (NCGS 113A-57(3)).
10. A graveled construction entrance must be located at each point of access 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 (113A-54.1(b)).
11. As a condition of the provided NPDES General Stormwater Permit (NCG010000),
groundcover stabilization must meet specific time frames. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and
ditch banks)that are steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical left exposed will,within seven(7)
calendar days after completion of any phase of grading, be provided with groundcover.
Slopes that are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter will be provided with groundcover within
fourteen (14) calendar days.
12. 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-54.1(e).
