This letter gives the notice of our right to periodically inspect the jobsite to insure

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
