The Town of Holly Springs, Utilities and Infrastructure has reviewed the development
plan and supporting information for the subject project and found the plan acceptable to
meet the requirements outlined in Chapter 8 Article II. Soil Erosion Sedimentation
Control, Stream Wetland Protection, Land Disturbance, Article III. Flood Damage
Prevention, and Article V. NPDES Phase II Post-Construction Stormwater of the Holly
Springs,NC Code of Ordinances with the conditions of plan approval identified below.
Conditions of plan approval: As noted on approved plan set
Required Field Meetings and Inspections:
• Certificate of Compliance Inspection: A Certificate of Compliance (COC) for
installation of Erosion Control is required prior to starting clearing, grubbing,
grading, installation of utilities and building permit activities. Prior to issuance of
the COC you can only clear what is needed to install erosion control measures.
A PE Certification shall be required prior to issuance of the COC for all projects

Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs).
• Stream Crossing Meetings: An onsite meeting is required prior to starting
construction at a crossing of a stream or wetland area that has a 404 Permit and
401 Certification to verify that limits of disturbance and erosion control has been
installed per the approved plan and to discuss sequencing,bypass channel
installation, or pump-around procedures.

• Environmental Preconstruction Meeting: Meeting to discuss the construction
sequencing of the SCMs or conversion from temporary erosion control devices to
the permanent SCMs.
• SCM Punchlist Inspections: A punchlist inspection for all SCMs will be required
prior to beginning of the Performance Monitoring Period(PMP). A punchlist
inspection will also be required prior to the transition of long-term Operations
and Maintenance (OM) at the end of PMP. Whenever possible, this punchlist
inspection will coincide with the punchlist inspection for the infrastructure of the
site or phase.

This letter gives the notice of our right to periodically inspect the jobsite to insure
compliance with the approved plan as outlined in the Chapter 8 of the Holly Springs,NC
Code of Ordinances. The Town of Holly Springs Erosion and Sediment Control
Program 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 Town, revisions
to the plan may be required to insure compliance with the ordinance.
A copy of the approved plan shall be on file at the job site. Be aware that your project
will require coverage by the NPDES General Stormwater Permit NCG010000
(Construction Activities). Requirements for coverage under this permit will be discussed
at the preconstruction conference. In addition, you are also required to meet the Self
Inspections Requirements as outlined by NCGS 113A-54.1. The State's Combined Self-
Monitoring and Self-Inspection Form shall be used to document the report. These
reports shall be kept on site with the Environmental Development Permit, Approved
Plans and NPDES log book.

This plan approval expires if work does not begin within one year of the date of this
letter. The Environmental Development Permit expires with the expiration of the
approved plan. Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your
compliance with Federal, State, and Local water quality laws, regulations, and rules.
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 application for plan review including the Financial Responsible Party
information that you provided. You are required to file an amended form if there are any
changes in the information included on the form. Note that a revised or new erosion
control plan will be required for residential lot construction if the builder(s) are different
than the Financial Responsible Party provided on the application.
Before any land disturbing activity can begin you or your agent must sign the
Environmental Development Permit before it is issued to acknowledge in writing that
you have read this letter, understand its requirements and implications, and are prepared
to ensure that you, your contractors, agents, etc. will observe these requirements.
The establishment of financial sureties in the amount of 125% estimated construction
cost (Performance Surety) 35% actual cost of construction (Maintenance Surety) for the
structural SCMs on site will be required. Performance Sureties are required prior to the
preconstruction meeting for sites and prior to platting for subdivisions. Maintenance
sureties are required at the end of the Performance Monitoring Period, which typically
lasts one year after the completion of the SCM(s).
Failure to appeal these conditions in writing within 15 days after receipt of this letter or
initiation of land-disturbing activity signifies your acceptance of the approved plan and
condition of approval and your intention to observe and implement the conditions.
We look forward to working with you toward the successful completion of this project.
