Dear Mr. Schaeffer,
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. The enclosed Certificate of Approval
must be posted at the job site. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years followin the date
of a roval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required by
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an
electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the
NCGO10000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to
the commencement of any land disturbing activity on the above named project. The NOI form
may be accessed at deq,nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette
Lucas at Annette. lucas ckncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul. clark ncdenr. gov. After you submit a
complete and correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three business days.
Initially, DEMLR will not charge a fee for coverage under the NCGO1 permit. However, on or
after August 1, 2019, a $100 fee will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR
Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 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 NCGOI permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.

Also, this letter gives the notice required by of our right of periodic inspection
to insure 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, 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.

Technical Bulletin for NCGOl OOOO Revised Aug. 22, 2013 1
What is this permit?
This is your General Stormwater Permit for Construc-
tion Activities, developed to meet federal National Pol-
lutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) re-
quirements. It is separate and in addition to your Ero-
sion and Sedimentation Control (E&SC) Plan.
Federal regulations adopted by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and N.C. Environmental
Management Commission require an NPDES storm -
water permit for your project. In North Carolina, the
EPA has delegated authority to administer the NPDES
program to the Department of Environment and Natu-
ral Resources.
The E&SC plan approved by the Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land (DEMLR), or a delegated local pro-
gram, contains the core erosion control requirements
for your project. The NPDES Stormwater General Per-
mit contains additional requirements related to a
broader range of water quality issues. These permits
are related, but separate. Both contain conditions
your project site must meet.
Are there new requirements
in this permit?
This General Permit reflects changes made in the fed-
eral regulations effective Feb. 1, 2010, that regulate
discharges from construction sites. The federal regula-
tions resulted from litigation decisions that mandated
construction activities over a certain size must contain
additional measures to reduce the amount of wastes
and sediment loading that reach the nation's waters.
The Department of Environment and Natural Re-
sources established the Construction General Permit
Technical Advisory Group to guide the development of
this NPDES permit. A draft permit was available for
public review in May 2011, and the final permit be-
came effective on Aug. 3, 2011.
The most notable change in the new permit is a re-
quirement that ground stabilization, such as wheat
straw application, be applied within 14 days from the
last land -disturbing activity. For steep slopes, that area
must be stabilized within 7 days. Please see page 2 of
this technical bulletin for more details.
Do I need to submit a Notice of Intent to have coverage under this permit?
No. Your project is covered by this permit upon approval of an adequate erosion and sedimentation control plan
that meets requirements for surface dewatering of basins and ground stabilization timeframes.
What does this permit require me to do?
You should read and become fa-
miliar with the provisions of this
permit. Below is a list of the major
requirements, with indications
where those differ from the previ-
ous Construction Stormwater Gen-
eral Permit.
Erosion and Sediment
Control Plane
You must implement the E&SC
Plan approved for your project by
DEMLR or by a delegated local
program, Adherence to that E&SC
Plan is an enforceable component
of this General Permit.
Your E&SC plan will identify areas
where the more stringent 7- and 14-
day ground stabilization require-
ments apply. See "Ground Stabili-
zation Requirements" on page 2 of
this bulletin.
Monitoring and Insnections
♦ You must keep a rain gauge on
the project site.
♦ Dedicated demolition and other
waste areas and earthen material
stockpiles must be located at least
50' from storm drains or streams
unless no alternative is feasible
(new requirement).
♦ You must inspect all E&SC
measures at least once a week and
within 24 hours after any storm
event greater than a half -inch
(during a 24-hour period). You
must take immediate corrective
action for any device failure.
♦ You must inspect all outlets
where stormwater runoff leaves the
site and evaluate the effect on
nearby streams or wetlands.
