Dear Mr. Baele:
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 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
413 .0129.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an
electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the
NCG010000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted and
COC issued prior to the commencement of any land disturbing activity on the above -named
project. The NOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about
the NOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette. lucas ncdenr. g2v or Paul Clark at
Paul. clark(c�r�,nedenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI Form, a COC will be
emailed to you within three business days. Initially, DEMLR will not charge a fee for
coverage under the NCGO1 permit. However, on or after June 1, 2019, a $100 fee will be
charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in
Raleigh.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118 (a) and the NCGO 1 permit require that the following documentation
be kept on file at the job site:
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy; Mineral and Land Resources
Fayetteville Regional Office 1 225 Green Street, Suite 714 [ Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301
910,433.3300

1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCG01 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 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, 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. This
permit allows for a land -disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to
exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit and
would require a.revised plan and additional application fee. Any addition in impervious
surface, over that already noted on the approved plan, would also require a revised plan to
verify the appropriateness of the erosion control measures and the stormwater retention
measures. (GS 113A-54.1(b)). 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,
C4� �
