RE: Grading Permit #42-08 Revision #5, Riverside Subdivision
Dear Elizabeth Shelton:
This office has reviewed the subject revised erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the
plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this land -disturbing permit. Please read the Permit conditions

project receives a final land -disturbance inspection. Once the project is stabilized and receives the final
land -disturbance inspection, you should file a Notice of Termination (NOT) with the State to final out the
project.
A copy of the enclosed land -disturbing permit, a copy of the approved erosion and sedimentation
control plan as well as any approved deviations, the NCG01 permit, a copy of the Certificate of Compliance

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 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 Statutes 113A-51 through 66), and the New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Ordinance, Chapter 23 Article VI Section 23-248 (f) and Article VIII Section 8.19 (f), this office may require
revisions to the plan and its implementation of the revisions to ensure compliance with the Act and
ordinance.
This land -disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land -
disturbing activity has been undertaken, as required by Chapter 23 Article VI Section 23-247(d) and Article
VIII Section 8.18 (d). 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 upon your compliance with
Federal and State water quality laws, regulations and rules and local city or county ordinances or rules.
This land -disturbing permit approval does not supersede any other permits or approvals. It is the owner's
responsibility to have all the permits and approvals 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 information included on the form.
Your cooperation is appreciated,
Sincerely,

Inspection Program that satisfies the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. These are
mentioned below with specific requirements for each program. These reports are the responsibility of the
property owner. They require a rain gauge onsite, inspections and reporting every 7 calendar days and within
24 hours of every 1.0-inch rain per 24-hour period and at specific phases of construction. Additional copies of
this Combined Construction Inspection Report can be found at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/erosion .

the approved plan.
*Pre -construction meetings are optional. Contact Beth E. Wetherili at (910) 798-7139 to set up a meeting prior
