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

require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions to insure compliance with the Act.

also apply to this land -disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or

there is any change in the information included on the form. In addition, it would be helpful if you
