Dear Mr. Stuebe,
This office has reviewed the subject revised erosion and sedimentation control plan.
We find the plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. This plan
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 413 .0129.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and
submit an electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage
(COC) under the NCGO10000 Construction General Permit. After the form is reviewed
and found to be complete, you will receive a link with payment instructions for the
$100 annual permit fee. After the fee is received, you will receive the COC via email.
You MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement of any land disturbing activity.
The eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about
the eNOI form to Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or Paul Clark at

the new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.
Title 1SA 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 12 months.
Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1 (a) of our right of periodic
inspection to insure 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, it is determined that 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 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.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
