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.
