Dear Sir,
Acres Approved: 168 total
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
NCGO10000 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 maybe accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please
direct questions about the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette.lucas cr,ncdenr.gov or Paul Clark
at Paul.clarkkncdenr;EOv. 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 NCGO1 permit require that the following documentation
be kept on file at the job site:
DE QJ� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources

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. 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, 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.
Sincerely,

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 I I3A-57)
