Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 permit require that the following documentation be kept on file
at the job site:
The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
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 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, 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. 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.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Additional Comments:
1. Additional erosion and sediment control measures and/or a revised E&SC plan may be
required based on field conditions and any route or open stream cut changes required by the
Corp or NCDEQ 401/404 permits.
2. Our Division maintains an interactive web -based map to help the public determine whether
development activities are subject to the post -construction state stormwater permitting
program or other stormwater permitting requirements. If your project is subject to state
Phase II stormwater permitting requirements, you must have the post -construction
stormwater permit prior to construction. The web -based map is located at:
