New Submittal: X Revision:
Dear Mr. Saleh:
The City of Monroe Engineering Department has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation
control plan. 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 must be posted at a conspicuous location at the job site. It is understood
that there is to be no unauthorized jurisdictional stream removals. If there are any unauthorized
stream disturbances violations will incur. Please continue to submit any official Federal
official letters as they are received for our files. If you proceed prior to approval of all plans
you are doing so at your own risk.
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.
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. This letter is due notice of such
inspection.
The North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act is performance oriented. The Act
requires protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If during the course of
construction, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of
the Act, the City may require revisions to the plan and strict adherence to the revisions to ensure
proper erosion and sedimentation control and 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 either 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.
Please be aware that your project will be covered by the enclosed NPDES General Storm water
Permit NCG.010.000 (Construction Activities). Please become familiar with all of the
requirements for compliance with the enclosed general permit. 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.
Enclosed is the self -inspection report for your usage. Please review the enclosed material.
In addition, this plan approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided on the
Financial Responsibility Form that you provided. If any part of the information provided changes
during construction, you are requested to provide an amended form to the City of Monroe.
Sincerely,
Tomya ori ffiN
