Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 13, 2022 LETTER OF APPROVAL WITH MODIFICATIONS Nucor Corporation Attention: Mike Hess, VP & GM 1915 Rexford Rd Charlotte, NC 28211 RE: Project Name: Nucor Steel Lexington Micro -Mill Facility Project ID: DAVID-2023-016 Acres Approved: 152.2 County: Davidson City: Lexington — Conrad Hill Township Address: 6776 E US Hwy 64 River Basin: Yadkin Pee -Dee Stream Classification: C Submitted By: Jacobs Date Received by LQS: October 5, 2022 Plan Type: New Dear Sir or Madam: This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable with modifications and hereby issue this letter of Approval with Modifications. The modifications required for approval are listed on the attached page. 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 NCG010000 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.ne.gov/NCG01. 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. North Carolina Department of e1 40Hanes Environmental Quality:; Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources OP Winston-Salem Regional Office � a50 Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 1 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 336-776-9800 Letter of Approval with Modifications Nucor Corporation October 13, 2022 Page 2 of 4 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. 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, 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. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project. Your cooperation is appreciated. Sincerely, Tamed , PE Regional E gineer Land Quality Section Enclosures: Certificate of Approval Modifications Required for Approval Matt Way, Nucor Corporation (matt.way d).nucor.com) Doug Moon, PE, Nucor Corporation (doug.moon(i jacobs.com) Letter of Approval with Modifications Nucor Corporation October 13, 2022 Page 3 of 4 MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL Project Name:Nucor Steel Lexington Micro -Mill Facility Project ID: DAVID-2023-016 County: Davidson Modifications pursuant to applicable North Carolina General Statutes and/or Regulations: 1. Construction is shown within the Duke right-of-way easement. Agreements must be in place with Duke as they affect your erosion control plan. They must grant permission to perform work in this area and to limit their access to their easement during your construction. [15A NCAC 4B .0106(a)(5)] 2. Silt fencing below fill slopes should be installed a minimum of 10 feet off the proposed toe of the slope. This will allow room for sediment storage and maintenance access, as well as minimize the potential for damage to the silt fence during fill slope construction. [G.S. 113A- 57(3)] 3. The following silt fence material specifications are recommended: • Use a synthetic filter fabric of at least 95% by weight of polyolefins or polyester, which is certified by the manufacturer or supplier as conforming to the requirements in ASTM D 6461. • Synthetic filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. • Ensure that posts for sediment fences are 1.33 lb/linear ft steel with a minimum length of 5 feet. Make sure that steel posts have projections to facilitate fastening the fabric. • For reinforcement of standard strength filter fabric, use wire fence with a minimum 14 gauge and a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches. 4. The NPDES permit requirements are more restrictive than our design manual for surface dewatering. In other words, surface dewatering is required for drainage areas greater than 1 acre and the sediment trap specification, as proposed on detail sheet NSLX-GEN-CI-SD- DW-260, is not applicable for drainage areas over an acre. [G.S. 143-215.1, GS 113A-57(3), NPDES GO10000] 5. Any off -site borrow and waste required for this project must come from a site with an approved erosion control plan, a site regulated under the Mining Act of 1971, or a landfill regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. Trash/debris from demolition activities or generated by any activities on site must be disposed of at a facility regulated by Letter of Approval with Modifications Nucor Corporation October 13, 2022 Page 4 of 4 the Division of Solid Waste Management or per Division of Solid Waste Management or Division of Water Resources rules and regulations. [15A NCAC 4B .0110] 6. Additional measures may be required - The applicant is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the applicant must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site. [15A NCAC 4B .0115] 7. The NCGOI has a $100 yearly fee and our office often receives closure inspection requests days prior to yearly NCGO1 fee payment due dates. Be advised the project requires a closure inspection report by DEMLR prior to filing the Notice of Termination (NOT) to terminate NCGO1 coverage. The closure inspection should not be requested until after the site has achieved full vegetative stabilization and measures have been removed. The removal of temporary ESC measures, including basins, requires prior approval. Often, a full growing season is necessary between initial seeding/mulching and removal of measures. Please plan your construction accordingly to avoid contacting our office prematurely for a closure inspection. Also be advised you may be asked for representative site pictures prior to a closure inspection.
