This form MUST be submitted prior to the commencement of any land
disturbing activity on the above named project. The NOI form may be accessed
at de .nc. ov NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette
Lucas at Annette.lucas@Incdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul.clarkC@ncdenng y.
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 30 days.
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, 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. 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.

Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit D_E
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.lucas ncdenr. ov or (919) 707-3639.
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);'
6 Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
b Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);'
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).
This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
The number of calendar days was
selected to be as equivalent as
possible with the previous permit.
The intent is to provide predictability
to the inspection schedule.
Acronyms to Know
COC: Certificate of Coverage, proof of coverage under an NCGO1 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 NCGO1
The NCG01 Process
The new NCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCG01 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 NCG01 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 NCG01 by
completing an a-NOI (available at deq.nc.gov/NCG01). The e-NOI will
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and submit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NCGO1
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.

Announcement of Combined Self -Monitoring and Self -Inspection Form
The Sedimentation Pollution Control Act was amended in 2006 to require that persons
responsible for land -disturbing activities inspect a project after each phase of the project
to make sure that the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is being followed.
Rules detailing the documentation of these inspections became effective October 1, 2010.
To simplify document of Self -Inspection Reports and NPDES Self -Monitoring Reports, a
combined form is now available. The new form was developed to satisfy the requirements
of the Sedimentation Pollution, Control Act and the NPDES Stormwater Permit for
Construction Activities, NCG 010000. Beginning August 1, 2013, the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources is responsible for administering both the SPCA and the NPDES I
Stormwater Permit for Construction Activities NCG 010000. The combined form should
make it easier to comply with self -inspection requirements.
I
The Combined Self -Monitoring form is available as a PDF and Word document from the
Land Quality web site.
