Dear Mr. Mercer:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan_ We find the plan to
i e acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval
must be posted at the job site. 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
XCAC 4B _0129.
Please be aware that your project will be covered by the enclosed 11-PDES Construction
Stomlwater General Permit NCGO10000. Please become familiar with all the requirements and
conditions of this permit in order to achieve compliance.
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-61.1t'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
coznmencenrent of this prq, cct, the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General
Statute 1 I3A-51 through 66'); this office 1riay 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 lai-id-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 Responsil7ility For1n, which you provided. You are requested to file ail amended form
if
if there is any change in the information included on the forrn. In addition, it would be helpful
you notify thus office of the proposed starting date for this project. Please notify us if you plan to
have a preconstruction conference_
Your cooperation is appreciated.

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 CAC 4B .0129.
2. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion and
sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the developer must take those additional steps
necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site. (-CGS 113A-5 (3)). Each sediment storage device
must be inspected after each storm/ event (\CGS 113A-54.1(e)1. Maintenance and/or clean out is
necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity. All sediment storage measures will remain on site arid
functional until all grading and final landscaping of the project is complete (I5ANCAC 04B .0113).
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the proposed
development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel is
prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regarded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to I vertical or less
steep (15A NCAC 04B .0124 (d)). Bank slopes may be snowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered
new earth work and is subject to the same erosion control requirements as new d4c.hes (NCGS 113A-
52(6)),
4, The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the
development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could
include our agency's Stormwater regulations and the Division of Water Resources' enforcement
requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction
of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAIv1A requirements, the
Division of Solid Waste Management's landfill regulations; the Environmental Protection Agency and/or
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or Municipalities'
ordinances, or others that may be required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval;
however, in the case of a Cease and Desist Order from the Corps of Engineers, that Order would only
apply to wetland areas. All highland would still have to be in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act.
5. if any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act, the
developer is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water Resources
(DWR), the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Any
erosion control measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland areas must be approved by the
aforementioned agencies prior to installation. The Land Quality Section must be notified of a relocation.
of the measures in question to the transition point between the wetlands and the uplands to assure that the
migration of sediment will not occur. If that relocation presents a problem or contradicts any
requirements of either DWR, the Corps, or the EPA, it is the responsibility of the developer to inform the
Land Quality Section regional office so that an adequate contingency plan can be made to assure
sufficient erosion control remains on site. failure to do so will be considered a violation of this approval
(NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).

6. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved
source. Any soil waste that leaves this site can be transported to a permitted mine or separately permitted
construction sites without additional permits under NCGS 74-49(7)(d). Disposal at any other location
-would have to be included as a permit revision for this approval.
-J. This perrmit allows for a land disturbance, as called far on the application plan, not to exceed 4-0 acres.
Exceeding that 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 stonnwater
retention measures (\CGS 113.A-54.1(b)).
8 The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and steel posts a ma?tisrtum of
eight (S) feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change that necessitates more posts
SC
for support, i.e., the spacing distance needs to be reduced to no greater than six (6) feet apart (E&
Planning &. Design _Manual 6.63, Rev. 6106).
9. Because the sediment traps and basins are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation and
erosion control devices on this project, it is necessary that the traps arid. basins and their
collection systems be installed before any other gradirig takes place on site, and that every
structurethat receives more than one acre of drainage is built so that each dewaters only from the
surface (N' CGO 10000). If that proves to be impractical, a revised plan must be submitted and
approved that addresses erosion and sedinie•nt control heeds during the interim period until the
traps and basins are fully functioning (I13A-54.1(b)).
10. A graveled construction entrance trust be located at each point of access and egress available to
construction vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and egress from
the project site at a point without a graveled entrance will be considered a violation of this approval.
Routine maintenance of the entrances is critical (113A-54.I(b)).
11. As a condition of the provided NPDLS General Storrnwater Permit (NCG010000), groundcover
stabilization must meet specific time frames. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and ditch banks) that are
steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical left exposed will, within seven (7) calendar days after completion of
any phase of grading, be provided with groundcover. Slopes that are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter
will be provided with groundcover within fourteen (14) calendar days.
12. As a part of routine monitoring of the approved land -disturbing activity, the financially responsible party
shall assure inspections of the area covered by the approved plan after each phase of the plan has been
completed and after establishment of temporary ground cover in accordance with North Carolina General
Statute 113A-54, l (e).
