Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 permit require that the following documentation be kept on file at the
jab site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCGO 1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous twelve (12) months.
Also, 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, including the use of equipment and technology owned and operated by the
Department, (e.g., survey equipment, vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc.). Unless this office hears otherwise
from you, this correspondence serves as your authorization for DEMLR to utilize equipment and / or technology on
your property for inspection purposes.
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 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 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.
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. 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.
