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 eNOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please direct questions about the eNOl form to the Stonnwater 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.

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. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Compliance must be maintained with the surface water quality turbidity standard (10 NTU in streams, lakes, or reservoirs designated as trout waters); if turbidity exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased. If any exceedance occurs at any time during the project, activity within the buffer must cease immediately. More protective erosion and sedimentation control measures may be required in order to comply with this water quality standard. [G.S. 113A-54.1(a), 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (21)]. 2. Temporary diversion ditches designed to direct clean water entering the site to an area off- site must be stabilized immediately after installation with vegetation and matting and prior to other land disturbance. Address their installation early within the construction sequence. [15A NCAC .0106(a)(4)] 3. Please notify this office prior to your pre-construction conference for this project by calling (336) 776-9800 and asking to speak with the Land Quality inspector for your county. [GS 113A-51, 15A NCAC 4B .0120] 4. Any off-site borrow and waste required for this project must come from a site with an approved erosion control plan, a site regulated under the Mining Act of 1971, or a landfill regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. Trash/debris from demolition activities or generated by any activities on site must be disposed of at a facility regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management or per Division of Solid Waste Management or Division of Water Resources rules and regulations.

If the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures prove insufficient, the applicant must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment from leaving this site. [15A NCAC 4B .0115] 6. The NCG01 has a $120 yearly fee and our office often receives closure inspection requests days prior to yearly NCGO1 fee payment due dates. Be advised the project requires a closure inspection report by DEMLR prior to filing the Notice of Termination (NOT) to terminate NCG01 coverage. The closure inspection should not be requested until after the site has achieved full vegetative stabilization and measures have been removed. The removal of temporary ESC measures, including basins, requires prior approval. Often, a full growing season is necessary between initial seeding/mulching and removal of measures. Please plan Letter of Approval with Modifications ASHE-2024-001 Page 2 Page 4 of 4 your construction accordingly to avoid contacting our office prematurely for a closure inspection. Also be advised you may be asked for representative site pictures prior to a closure inspection.
