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.nc.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.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 permit require that the following
documentation be kept 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 Program 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.

wide zone directly adjacent to surface waters (intermittent streams,perennial streams,lakes,
ponds, and estuaries) in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. For more information about these
riparian area rules,please contact the Division of Water Resources Wetland/401 Unit at 919-

1. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on-site. If the approved
erosion and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the developer must
take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site (NCGS
113A-57(3)). Each sediment storage device must be inspected after each storm event
(NCGS 113A-54.1(e)). Maintenance and/or clean out is necessary anytime the device
is at 50% capacity. All sediment storage measures will remain on site and functional
until all grading and final landscaping of the project is complete (15A NCAC 04B
.0113).
2. The developer is responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals necessary for
the development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing
activity. This could include our agency's Stormwater regulations and the Division of
Water Resources' enforcement requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid
Waste Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency
and/or The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local
County or Municipalities' ordinances, or others that may be required. This approval
cannot supersede any other permit or approval.
3. Adequate and appropriate measures must be properly installed downstream, within
the limits of disturbance, of any land disturbing activity to prevent sediment from
leaving the limits of disturbance,entering existing drainage systems,impacting an on-
site natural watercourse or adjoining property. (NCGS 113A-57)
