Dear Mr. Robinson:
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 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
NCGO10000 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 [e-mail] or Paul Clark at [e-mail]. 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 NCG01 permit. However, a $100 fee
will soon 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 NCG01 permit require that the following documentation be
kept on file at the job site:
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 12 months.
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 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 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. 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.
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,
