Dear Ms. Nguyen,
The subject erosion and sedimentation control plan has been approved. The enclosed Certificate
of Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following

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
received, you will receive the COC via email. 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 eNOI form to Annette Lucas at Annette.Lucas(c�r�,ncdenr.gov or Paul
Clark at Paul. Clarkkncdenr. gov. If the owner/operator of this project changes in the future, the
new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.

Title 15A NCAC 413 .0118(a) and the NCGO 1 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 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 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. 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.
