Dear Mr. Huett:
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 shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land disturbing
activity has been undertaken, as 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 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/NCGO1. Please direct questions about the NOI
form to Danny Smith at danny.smith&ncdenr.gov or Paul Clark at paul.clark&ncdenr.gov. After you
submit a complete and correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three business days. A
$100 fee will be charged annually until a Notice of Termination is issued. This fee is to be sent to the
DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the
future, the new responsible party must obtain a new COC.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 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 NCGO1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
This letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to ensure
compliance with the approved plan.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) requires that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at the
job site. Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic
inspection to ensure 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.
This permit allows for a land -disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed the
approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan
and additional application fee. 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,
Jodi Pace, EI
