NORTI-i CAROLINNS INTERNATIONAL CITT m Owner/Financial Responsible Party Land Acquisition and Development Services, LLC PO Box 9147 Greensboro, NC 27429 RE: CONDITIONAL EROSION and SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN APPROVAL Project: Canter Creek Subdivision Location: 1613 West Lexington Avenue, High Point, NC 27262 Land Disturbing Permit: 4 EN 22 0126 2430 Dear Sir or Madame: The Engineering Services Department has completed the review process for the revised Soil Erosion Sedimentation Control Plan submitted to our department on May 17, 2022, for the project referenced above. Based on our review, the plan is hereby conditionally approved. This conditionally approved plan will specifically cover the Erosion and Sediment Control Measures required for both the Grading Phase and the Building Phase for the disturbed area(s) proposed under Plan DU-22-0015 and the parcel identified in the Davidson County Register of Deeds Book 2498 on Page(s) 1392-1395. No approval for any off -site disturbance or use of access/egress points from surrounding property has been granted by this approval with the exception of entry from Lexington Avenue — State Road 1755. If a different identity (from the Grading Phase) executes the Building Phase, this approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (E&SCP) may be transferred to the firm/person executing the Building Phase. The Erosion Control Measures shown on the plan(s) are approximate. Some field adjustment may be required to make the measures work correctly. This letter will serve notice that: • As per NCGS 15A NCAC 04B .0120 (b) and (c), INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS, this letter shall serve as notice that inspection of sites shall be carried out by the staff of Department of Environmental Quality or other qualified persons authorized by the Commission or Department of Environmental as necessary to carry out its duties under the Act and no person shall refuse entry or access to any representative of the Commission or any representative of a local government who City of High Point, P.O.

If compliance is not achieved within the allotted time set forth in the NOV, fines can be assessed and a demand for payment can be imposed as per City of High Point Development Ordinance — Chapter 9. Stipulations of a Stop Work Order will be imposed as outlined in the City of High Point Development Ordinance — Chapter 9. In addition to the Notice of Violation and/or Stop Work Order, any additional enforcement remedies and/or penalties outlined in the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 or the current City of High Point Development Ordinance — Chapter 9, may be used in obtaining compliance. • As per High Point Development Ordinance 2.5.10.G.1 and 2, the Land -Disturbing Permit will become null and void one (1) year from the date of issuance. You may request in writing, 180-day permit extension 30 days prior to the expiration date, for good cause. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the Land Disturbing Permit issued by the City of High Point is conditional based on the applicant's compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations, and rules. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided on the submitted Financial Responsibility Form. If any changes to the submitted Financial Responsibility Form (e.g., ownership, address, company name, North Carolina Agent, etc.) occur, then you are required to submit an amended form showing such changes. • The approval of the draft Erosion and Sediment Control Plan does not supersede any other permit or approval. • This Letter of Approval must be posted at the site of the land disturbing activity along with the Land -Disturbing Pen -nit, the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan, DEMLR Monitoring Form (i.e., Self -Inspection Records for Land -Disturbing Activities per GS 113A-54.1 and Inspection and Monitoring Records for Activities under Stormwater General Permit NCGO 10), a copy of the NPDES/NCGO 10 Permit (Readily available electronic copy of NPDES/NCGO 10 Permit is acceptable) , and a copy of the Certificate of Coverage (COC). Also, copies of the Canter Creek Subdivision 401 Water Quality Certification Approval Letter (Signed) and Plan, and the US Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 29 — Residential Permit (Signed) and Plan must be kept on site. • Per G. S. I I 3A-54. L(e), The landowner, the financially responsible party, or the landowner's or the financially responsible party's agent shall perform an inspection of the area covered by the plan after each phase of the plan has been completed and after establishment of temporary ground cover in accordance with G.S. 113A-57(2) - the angle for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle that can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion -control devices or structures. In any event, slopes left exposed will, within 21 calendar days of completion of any phase of grading, be planted or otherwise provided with temporary or permanent ground cover, devices, or structures sufficient to restrain erosion. The record of inspection, also known as the DEMLR Monitoring Form, shall set out any significant deviation from the approved erosion control plan, identify any measures that may be required to correct the deviation, 2 City of High Point, P.O.

This record shall be maintained until permanent ground cover has been established as required by the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan. The record of inspections is required by this subsection shall be in addition to inspections required by G.S. 113A-61.1 (NOV). Please note that Records of Inspections in respect to the NCGO 10000 Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), must be kept on site for twelve (12) months. All data used to complete the e-NOI and all Inspection Records must be maintained for a period of three (3) years and available upon request (40 CFR 122.41). • Modifications to the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan that require changes to the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be approved by the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Authority prior to modification. Minor adjustments/deviation(s) from the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan to address minor deficiencies can be approved by the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Authority. Deviations are limited to the following deficiencies: o Addition of E&SC measures (e.g., silt fence, inlet protection, check dam, rolled erosion control practices, etc.). o Relocation of E&SC Measures that improve the overall stormwater and sediment control. • Erosion Control Measures must be maintained until site is stabilized with sufficient ground cover: o "The establishment of temporary ground cover in accordance with G.S. 113 A- 57(2), ... slopes left exposed will, within 21 calendar days of completion of any phase of grading, be planted or otherwise provided with temporary or permanent ground cover, devices, or structures sufficient to restrain erosion. Stabilization by temporary ground cover is recognized as being achieved with the establishment of a uniform and evenly distributed (no large, denuded areas) ground cover with a cover density of at least 80%. Please note that the requirement of Part 11 Section E (1) of the NCGO 10000 Construction Stormwater General Permit which refers to Ground Stabilization Timelines in Table 3 are different from G.S. 113A-57(2). As noted in 15A NCAC 04B .0 107, it is the responsibility of the person conducting the land -disturbing activity to ensure compliance with the NCGO 1. o Permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion after completion of construction or development shall be accomplished within 90 calendar days (15A NCAC 04B .0107) as specified by rule of the Commission. Stabilization by permanent ground cover is recognized as being achieved with the establishment of a uniform and evenly distributed (no large, denuded areas) ground cover with a cover density of at least 80%. Please note that this is also a requirement of Part 11 Section E (2) of the NCGO 10000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. o The requirements in NCGO I for temporary or permanent ground cover may differ from the ground cover, or stabilization, requirements as specified by rule of the Commission. Per 15A NCAC 04B .0 107, it is the responsibility of the person conducting the land -disturbing activity to ensure compliance with the NCGO I. • A condition of this approval is that the permittee will maintain close contact with the Erosion Control Inspector. It is the responsibility of the person conducting the land - disturbing activity to inform the Erosion Control Inspector of : o Any site -specific conditions that would lead to a site being in non-compliance or violation of the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. o Any proposed temporary removal of an Erosion Control Measure in order to City of High Point, P.O.
