Dear Sir or Madam:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable
with modifications and hereby issue this letter of Approval with Modifications. The modifications required for
approval are listed on the attached page. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of

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 may be accessed at
deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please direct questions about the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at
Amiette.lucas.cuncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul. clark(c?ncdenngov. If the owner/operator of this project
changes in the future, the new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.

Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to insure
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, it is determined that
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 ensure 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.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
