Attn: Cannon Cory
Gaston Natural Resources Department received a complete Stormwater Control Plan for the
above project . Staff review of the plans and specifications determined that the project, as
proposed, will comply with Gaston County's Stormwater Ordinance. The Gaston County
Stormwater Permit number, 000000253 is approved.
Your Stormwater Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance and shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to your
Operation and Maintenance requirements. Failure to establish an adequate system for
operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system will result in future
compliance problems.
Section 11, As -built Plans and Specifications, of the Stormwater Ordinance shall be validated
at completion of the project. Note that a Certificate of Compliance or Occupancy will not be
issued without as -built plans or certification of previously submitted plans.
Be advised of the annual inspection report, maintenance agreement/restrictive covenant, and
record easements for access, maintenance, and inspections required under Section 18,
Assurance that Improvements will be Maintained, in Gaston County's Stormwater Ordinance.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, or you need
additional information concerning this permit, please contact Gaston Natural Resources
Stormwater Division at [phone]. We look forward to working with you throughout this
project.
This approved plan shall become null and void if no progress is realized on -site within six months

Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit �
April 2019
hpwpnHMbnf�mn',al0u+�1 -II
The NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCG01") was renewed on April 1, 2019. The updated permit
does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites. However,
there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably, there is a new
process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCG01 permit through an electronic
process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or [phone].
Organizational Updates
The new permit:
Repeats state requirements for E&SC
Plans and organizes them with federal
construction activity requirements;
Is clearly organized by topic; and
Has less text and more tables.
Technical Updates
The new permit:
Requires that the E&SC Plan meet
SWPPP requirements (p. 2);
Provides a list of items that must be
included in the SWPPP, such as the
construction sequence, plans,
calculations, etc. (p. 2-4);'
• Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
• Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);2
■ Changes the inspection frequency
(during business hours) to at least
once per 7 calendar days and after
every storm > 1.0 inch (previously 0.5
inch);' and
• Excludes weekends, state and federal
holidays from normal business hours
unless construction activities take
place (p. 23).
1 This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
2 The number of calendar days was
selected to be as equivalent as
possible with the previous permit.
' The intent is to provide predictability
to the inspection schedule
Acronyms to Know
COC: Certificate of Coverage, proof of coverage under an NCG01 permit
DEMLR: NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
E&SC: Erosion & Sedimentation Control
e-NOI: Notice of Intent, application form for the NCGO1 permit
e-NOT: Notice of Termination, form for closing out the NCGO1 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCGO1
The NCG01 Process
The new NCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCGO1 permit in the mail
with their E&SC Plan approvals and be considered as covered under the
permit. Federal rules require that DEMLR receive an N01 on each
construction project and issue each construction project its own COC.
Under the new NCGO1 process, construction sites will continue to
receive approval for E&SC Plans from either DEMLR or the delegated
local E&SC program just like before. After receiving E&SC Plan approval,
permittees will officially obtain coverage under the NCGO1 by
completing an a-NOI (available at deg.nc.eov/NCG01). The e-N01 will
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and submit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NCGO1
permit but on or around June 1, 2019, DEMLR will begin charging a $100
annual general permit fee as required per §143-215.3D.
DEMLR is working on creating a single application form that will allow an
applicant to simultaneously apply for an E&SC permit and an NCGO1
COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
