This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to
be acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan: This plan approval shall expire (2) years following
the date on this Letter of Approval, unless a Land -Disturbing Permit has been obtained within
that initial two-year period and remains in effect as provided in G.S. 164.12 (F-1). Active sites may
have the permit renewed by applying for renewal 30 days prior to expiration.
Section 10 (L) of the Chatham County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance requires
that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job site.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Act is performance -oriented, requiring
protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the
commencement of this project, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet
the requirements of the Chatham County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance, this
office may require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to insure
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.
Inspections: This letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic
inspection to ensure compliance with the approved plan.
Section 164.12 (I) of the Chatham County Sedimentation and Erosion Control Ordinance
requires self -inspections and monitoring for all sites receiving a Land Disturbing Permit. These
inspections can be done by the Financially Responsible Party, or an agent thereof. These

inspections must occur at a minimum of once a week and within 24 hours of any rain event of
1.0 inch or greater. Copies of inspection records and reports must be kept on site and produced
to Chatham County upon request.
NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG01000: Please be aware that your project will be
covered by the new NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG01000 (Construction
Activities). You must apply and receive the NCG01 Certificate of Coverage electronically
at the following website: https://deg.nc.gov/NCG01. The Electronic Notice of Intent,
or "e-NOI form", link is used to complete this step. After you submit a complete and
correct e-NOI form, a Certificate of Coverage will be emailed to you within three business days.
Please direct questions about the e-NOI form to the Stormwater Program Supervisor of the
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources. Contact information is available on the "Contacts" page of the above -referenced
web site.
This form MUST be submitted prior to the commencement of any land disturbing activity on
the above named project. If a construction activity that disturbs 1 acre or more (or is part of a
subdivision or other common plan of development) fails to submit an e-NOI after the approval
of its erosion and sedimentation control plan, then then the permtttee is in violation of federal
permitting requirements and could be subject to penalty assessment.
If you are a homebuilder — you need only obtain (1) Certificate of Coverage per
subdivision, which will serve to cover all of your lots for that division. When completing
the e-NOI form. enter only the subdivision name. and do not list the lot number.
If you are a developer — you will need (1) Certificate of Coverage for each set of approved
plans in a subdivision.
Land -Disturbing Permit: A Land -Disturbing Permit will be issued by Chatham County only
after the above -referenced Certificate of Coverage is provided to Chatham County. Construction
activities can begin only after the Land Disturbing Permit is issued. Active sites may have the
permit renewed by applying for renewal 30 days prior to expiration. Chatham County's Land -
Disturbing Permit must be posted at the job site once received.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the
Financial Responsibility Form, which you provided. You are requested to file an amended form
if there is any change in the information included on the form. Please notify us when you would
like to schedule a preconstruction conference. Notification shall be given at least 7 days prior to
