Dear Sir,
Acres Approved: 49.54
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 following the date of
approval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC
4B .0129.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an
electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the
NCG010000 Construction General Permit. After the form is reviewed and found to be complete,
you will receive a link with payment instructions for the $100 annual permit fee. After the fee is
received, you will receive the COC via email. You MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement
of any land disturbing activity. The eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please
direct questions about the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette. lucas@ncdenr.gov or Paul Clark
at Paul.clark@ncdenr.gov. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the new
responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.
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 30 days.
Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. I I3A-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, 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.
Please be advised that a rule to protect and maintain existing buffers along watercourses in the
Tar -Pamlico River Basin became effective on January 1, 2000. The Tar -Pamlico River Riparian
Area Protection and Maintenance Rule (15A NCAC 213.0259) applies to a 50 (horizontal) foot
wide zone along all perennial and intermittent streams, lakes, ponds and estuaries in the Tar -
Pamlico River basin. For more information about the riparian area rule, please contact the Division
of Water Quality's Wetland/401 Unit at 919-807-6300, or DWQ in our regional office at 252-946-
6481.

The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. if the approved erosion
and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the developer must take those
additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site (NCGS 113A-57(3)).
Each sediment storage device must be inspected after each storm event (NCGS 113A-
54.1(e)). Maintenance and/or clean out is necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity.
All sediment storage measures will remain on site and functional until all grading and final
landscaping of the project is complete (15A NCAC 04B .0113).
2. The developer is responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals necessary for the
development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity.
This could include our agency's Stormwater regulations and the Division of Water
Resources' enforcement requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division
of Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid Waste
Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or
Municipalities' ordinances, or others that may be required. This approval cannot supersede
any other permit or approval.
3. Adequate and appropriate measures must be properly installed downstream, within
the limits of disturbance, of any land disturbing activity to prevent sediment from
leaving the limits of disturbance, entering existing drainage systems, impacting an on -
site natural watercourse or adjoining property. (NCGS 113A-57)
Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit
F.
April 2019
The NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCGO ) 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 maize all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas -at, Annette, lucas@nedenr:gov car:(-919); 707-3639
Organizational Updates
® Repeats state requirements for E&SC
Plans and organizes them with federal
• Is clearly organized by topic; and
• Has less text and more tables.
Technical Updates
The new permit:
a Requires that the USC 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);z
. Changes the inspection frequency
(during business hours) to at least
price per 7 calenclar days and after
every storm > 1.0 inch (previously 0,5
inch);' ,and
o Excludes weekends; state and federal
holidays from normal business hours
unless construction activities take
place (p, 23).
This list is based on website guidance
by the OEMLR Sediment Program.
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.

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 NCG01 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 NOI on each
construction project and issue each construction project its own COC.
Under the new NCG01 process, construction sites will continue to
receive approval for E&SC Plans fron) either DEMLR or the delegated
local E&SC program just like before. After receiving E&SC Plan approval,
perinittees will officially obtain coverage under the NCG01 by
completing an e-N01 (available at deg.nc.,goyINCGOI). The e-N01 will
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and subrnit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NC.G01
permit but on or around June 1, 2019, DEMLR will begin charging a $100
annual general permit fee as required per 6143-215.3D.
DEMLR is working on creating a single application form that will allow an
applicant to simultaneously apply for an E&SC permit and an NCG01
COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
