[15A NCAC 4B .0115] Additional Comments: 1. Please be advised industrial activities may be subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Program. A list of covered activities and detailed information is available at the website below: llttps:;':'deq.nc. gov/about/divisions:'energy-mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land- perm i is/stonnwate r-pro gram 2. Be advised due to the potential activities proposed onsite, you will likely require additional permitting from other NCDEQ agencies that may affect this erosion and sediment control plan (for example permits related to demolition/asbestos removal/stream rerouting do not replace the need for approval of an erosion and sediment control plan, if applicable). We recommend you contact Mr. Paul Williams, Environmental Assistance Coordinator, NC Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service to discuss your site.
