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. 4 Letter of Approval with Modifications Davidson Water INC.

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.

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.

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. ROY COOPER Governor WCHAEL S. REGAN Secreimy Energy, Mineral TRACY DAVIS and Land Resources ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Director 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.
