New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program is performance- oriented, requiring
protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of the project,
it is determined that the plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the New Hanover County's Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Ordinance, this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation of the
revisions to insure compliance with the ordinance.
This land disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land disturbing activity
has been undertaken. If no activity takes place within one year after work has begun onsite, the permit will
expire. Please contact this office to reactivate a permit that has expired.
Acceptance and approval of this erosion control plan is conditioned on your compliance with Federal and State
water quality laws, regulations and rules. This permit will not preclude any other permits or approvals necessary
for beginning or completing this development. It is the owner's responsibility to have all the approvals and
permits that are required prior to beginning construction.
Please note this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the Financially
Responsibility Form, which you provided. You are requested to file an amended form if there is any change in the
