Dear Mr. Woodard:
As per your request, the Engineering Services Department has completed the review process of

Homes of North Carolina, LLC. As conditions set forth in NC GS 113A-54.1, as the lots are

lots indicated in the building phase section of the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
will transfer along with the conveyance.
Conditions of the transfer are:

permitted activity is occurring or will occur.

Royal Homes of North Carolina, LLC, shall comply with all terms and conditions of the
plan once the plan has been transferred.
Notwithstanding changes to law made after the original issuance of the plan, the
Department may not impose new or different terms and conditions in the plan without the
prior express consent of Royal Homes of North Carolina, LLC. Nothing in this
subsection shall prevent the Commission from requiring a revised plan pursuant to G.S.
113A-54.1(b).
The transferred plan specifically cover the Erosion and Sediment Control Measures
required for activities associated with the Building Phase.
If a different identity executes the activities associated with the Building Phase, this approved
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SCP) may be transferred to the firm/person executing
the Building Phase. Prior to transferring the plan, written authorization and a Financial
Responsibility Form must be submitted to our office for review. The terms and conditions of the
approved plan shall remain in place unless otherwise noted.
The Erosion Control Measures shove on the plan(s) are approximate and some field adjustment
may be required to make the measures work correctly.
An Erosion Control Financial Guarantee (Surety) is required to be submitted prior to any Land -
Disturbing activities. This refundable guarantee shall remain in force until the work is completed
in accordance with the Land -Disturbance Permit and the work is approved by the Engineering
Services Director. The amount of the guarantee required is $4000.00 for an estimated 2 acres of
disturbance and can be in the form of a Check, Irrevocable Letter of Credit, Equivalent Security
or Surety Bond. The Check, Irrevocable Letter of Credit or Equivalent Security can be deposited
with the City or held in escrow with a Financial Institution as per Section 7.2.2 — Performance
Guarantee of the City of High Point Development Ordinance. Surety bonds will be held by the
city until released.
This letter will serve notice that:
• As per NCGS 15A NCAC 04B .0120 (b) and (c), INSPECTIONS AND
INVESTIGATIONS, this letter shall serve as notice that inspection of sites shall be
carried out by the staff of Department of Environmental Quality or other qualified
persons authorized by the Commission or Department of Environmental as necessary to
carry out its duties under the Act and no person shall refuse entry or access to any
representative of the Commission or any representative of a local government who
requests entry for purposes of inspection.
• As per High Point Development Ordinance 2.5.10.G.I and 2, the Land -Disturbing Permit
will become null and void one (1) year from the date of issuance. You may request in
writing, a 180-day permit extension 30 days prior to the expiration date, for good cause.
• The original approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Land
Disturbing Permit issued by the City of High Point was conditional based on the
applicant's compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations, and rules.
Page 2 of 6

The transferred Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will also be conditional based on the
applicant's compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations, and rules.
• The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is based in part on the
accuracy of the information provided on the submitted Financial Responsibility Form. If
any changes to the submitted Financial Responsibility Form (e.g. ownership, address,
company name) occur, then you are required to submit an amended form showing such
changes.
• The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan does not supersede any
other permit or approval.
• Approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, authorizes the permittee to
discharge stormwater in accordance with the standard and regulations of current General
Permit NCGO10 and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).
• This Letter of Approval must be posted at the site of the land disturbing activity along
with the Land -Disturbing Permit, the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan,
copies of the NPDES/NCGO10 Permit, NCGO10 Self Inspection and Ground
Stabilization and Materials Handling Details, and a copy of the Certificate of Coverage
(COC).
• Records of Inspections must be kept on site for twelve (12) months.
• All data used to complete the e-NOI and all Inspection Records must be maintained for a
period of three (3) years and available upon request (40 CFR 122.41).
• Construction site pollutants must be maintained on -site and not allowed to reach the
state's waters. Any spent fluids from construction traffic must be cleaned up and disposed
of properly. Any herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer must be used in accordance to -the
label restrictions. All wastes composed of building materials shall be disposed of in
accordance with North Carolina General Statues, Chapter 130A, Article 9 — Solid Waste
Management, and rules governing the disposal of solid waste (NC Administrative Code
Section 15A NCAC 1313). No dumping of paint and other liquid building material waste
in storm drains. Concrete materials onsite, including excess concrete, must be controlled
and managed to avoid contact with surface waters, wetlands or buffers. No concrete
slurry shall be discharged from the site.
• Only minor deviation from the approved plan can be approved by the Erosion Control
Inspector. Deviations are limited to the following deficiencies:
o Addition of E&SC measures (e.g., silt fence, inlet protection, check dam, rolled
erosion control practices, etc.).
o Relocation of E&SC Measures that improve the overall stormwater and sediment
control.
• Erosion Control Measures must be maintained until site is stabilized with sufficient
ground cover. The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NCGS 113A-51
through 66) is performance -oriented, requiring protection of existing natural resources
and adjoining properties. If following the commencement of this project, the approved
E&SCP is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act of 1973, revisions to the plan may be required by the Erosion Control Inspector.
• A condition of this approval is that the streets in this phase must be kept free of sediment.
Erosion Control Measures to prevent construction traffic from tracking sediment onto the
streets must be maintained. Any debris or sediment shall be cleaned from the street
surface immediately.
