Dear Mr. Henry:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be
acceptable with modifications and hereby issue this letter of Approval with Modifications. The
Modifications Required for Approval are listed on the attached page. 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 NCAC 4B .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 prior to the commencement
of any land disturbing activity on the above named project. The NOI form may be accessed at
deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette Lucas at
[e-mail] or Paul Clark at [e-mail]. 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 NCGO1 permit. However, on or after May 1, 2019, a $100 fee
will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in
Raleigh.

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 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 1I3A-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. In addition, it would be helpful if you
notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Table 6.11 o
Seeding No. 5P for:
Grass -tined Channels
Practice Standards and Spec cations
Seeding mixture
Species, Rate (lb/acre)
Tall fescue 200 (4-5 Ib/1,000 ft)
Nurse plants
Between May 1 and Aug. 15 add 15 lb/acre Sudangrass or 10 lb/acre Ger-
man millet. Before May 1, or after Aug. 15, add 40 Ib/acre rye (grain).
Seeding dates
Best: Aug. 25 -Oct,
Possible: Feb. -Apr. 15
Avoid seeding from Nov. to Jan. If seeding must be done at this time, add
40 lb/acre rye grain and use a channel lining that offers maximum protec-
tion.
Soil amendments
Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil tests, or apply 4,000 lb/acre
ground agricultural limestone and 1,0001blacre 10-10-10 fertilizer. Operate
tillage equipment across the waterway.
Mulch
Use jute, excelsior matting, or other effective channel lining material to
cover the bottom of channels and ditches, and staple securely. The lining
should extend above the highest calculated depth of flow. On channel side
slopes agave this height, and in drainages not requiring temporary linings,
apply 4,000 Iblacre grain straw and anchor straw by stapling netting over
the top.
Mulch and anchoring materials must not be allowed to wash dawn slopes
where they can clog drainage devices.
Maintenance
Inspect and repair mulch frequently. Refertilize in late winter of the follow-
ing year; use soil tests or apply 150 lb/acre 10-10-10, Mow regularly to a
height of 2.4 inches.
Refer to Appendix 8.02for botanical names.
