Dear Mr. Pittman,
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. The Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. 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 $120 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 eNOlform may be accessed atdeq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the eNOlform
totheStormwater 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 newC0C.

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 ensure 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, 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
insure 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/Ownership 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 and plan,
not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage can be a violation of this permit and may 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.
Modifications Required for Approval:
1. Note on the plans that work in surface water bodies must be done in the dry. Provide details for pump around systems
if needed. {G.S. 113A-57.3}
2. Check with the Division of Water Resources and the US Army Corps of Engineers to determine if 401 or 404 permits are
require for the proposed work in and around surface water.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
