RE: Project Name: Line 452 — Line 20 Natural Gas Pipeline Replacement
Acres Approved: 22
Project ID: CUMBE-2020-186
County: Cumberland, City: Fayetteville,
River Basin: Cape Fear
Stream Classification: Other
Submitted By: Pond & Company
Date Received by LQS: May 28, 2020
Plan Type: Express
Dear Mr. Weldon:
Address: All American Freeway
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 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.Rov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette
Lucas at Annette.lucaskncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul.clarkkncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI
Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three business days. A $100 fee will be charged annually until a Notice of
Termination is issued. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 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 NCGO1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.

Letter of Approval
Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc.
May 28, 2020
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.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the job site. 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 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. 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. 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,
6*4; -s"CL

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit REQ��
April 2019 �/''
The NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCG01") was renewed on April 1, 2019. The updated permit
does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites. However,
there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably, there is a new
process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCG01 permit through an electronic
process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at Annette. iucasCopncdenr.eov or [phone].
Organizational Updates
The new permit:
Repeats state requirements for E&SC
Plans and organizes them with federal
construction activity requirements;
Is clearly organized by topic; and
Has less text and more tables.
Technical Updates
The new permit:
• Requires that the E&SC Plan meet
SWPPP requirements (p. 2);
• Provides a list of items that must be
included in the SWPPP, such as the
construction sequence, plans,
calculations, etc. (p. 2-4);1
• Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
• Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);2
• Changes the inspection frequency
(during business hours) to at least
once per 7 calendar days and after
every storm > 1.0 inch (previously 0.5
inch);' and
• Excludes weekends, state and federal
holidays from normal business hours
unless construction activities take
place (p. 23).
1 This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
2 The number of calendar days was
selected to be as equivalent as
possible with the previous permit.
3 The intent is to provide predictability
to the inspection schedule.
Acronyms to Know
COC: Certificate of Coverage, proof of coverage under an NCG01 permit
DEMLR: NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
E&SC: Erosion & Sedimentation Control
e-NOI: Notice of Intent, application form for the NCGO1 permit
e-NOT: Notice of Termination, form for closing out the NCGO1 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCG01
The NCG01 Process
The new NCGO1 applies to permits approved on ar after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCGO1 permit in the mail
with their E&SC Plan approvals and be considered as covered under the
permit. Federal rules require that DEMLR receive an NOI on each
construction project and issue each construction project its own COC.
Under the new NCGO1 process, construction sites will continue to
receive approval for E&SC Plans from either DEMLR or the delegated
local E&SC program just like before. After receiving E&SC Plan approval,
permittees will officially obtain coverage under the NCGO1 by
completing an a-N01 (available at c1eq.nc.gov/NCG01). The e-NOI will j
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and submit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NCG01
permit but on or around June 1, 2019, DEMLR will begin charging a $100
annual general permit fee as required per §143-215.3D.
DEMLR is working on creating a single application form that will allow an
applicant to simultaneously apply for an E&SC permit and an NCGO1
COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
