Letter of Approval
Smithfield Farmland Corp.
February 12, 2020
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGOI permit require that the following documentation be kept on file at the job
site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCGO1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
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.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job site. 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.
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, it is determined that 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 ensure compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal and State water quality Iaws,
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. This permit allows for a Iand-disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed the approved acres.
Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and additional application fee. 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.
Sincerely,
Jodi Pace, EI
