RE: Project Name: Project Cardinal
Acres Approved: 79.45
Project ID: CABAR-2022-062
County: Cabarrus
City: Concord
Address: Concord Parkway
River Basin: Yadkin
Stream Classification: Other
Submitted By: Gilbane Building Co
Date Received by LQS: February 23, 2022
Plan Type: Revised
Dear Mr. Miller:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan: We find the plan to be acceptable and hereby
issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. 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
(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 processed, you will receive the COC via email. As the Financially Responsible Party shown on the
FRO form submitted for this project, you MUST obtain the COC prior to commencement of any land disturbing
activity. The eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCGO 1. Please direct questions about the eNOI form
to the Stormwater Program staff in the Raleigh central office. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future,
the new responsible party must obtain a new COC.

Title 15A NCAC 413 .0118(a) and the NCGO I 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 NCGO I 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. I I3A-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.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit
April •
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);'
• Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
• Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);2
• 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).
1 This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
z 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 NCGO1 Process
The new MCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCGO1 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 NCGO1 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 NCGO1 by
completing an e-NOI (available at deg.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.
