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

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.

Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic

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.
Sincerely,
