Title 15ANCAC 4B .01 18(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 13A-6 1. 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 I 13A-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

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit 11
z: � fQ E
April 2019 4��_
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 [e-mail] or [phone].
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),
This list is based on website guidance
by the DEM LR Sediment Program,
2 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
DEIMLR: 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 NCG01 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCGO1
The NCGO1 Process
The new NCG01 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 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.
