and Section 15.5.1 of the Durham City-County Unified Development Ordinance,you are
hereby notified that the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Office has the right to inspect the
site over the life of the project to ensure compliance with the approved plan and ordinance.
The Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program is performance oriented,requiring
protection of the natural resources and adjoining properties. If following the commencement
of this project it is determined that the sedimentation and erosion control plan is inadequate
to meet the requirements of the Durham City-County Unified Development Ordinance, this
office may require revisions in the plan and its implementation to ensure compliance with the
Ordinance.
Pursuant to Section 12.10.6 of the Durham City-County Unified Development Ordinance,

NCG010000 Requirements
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 applicable 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 and fee details
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 NCGO1 permit require that the following

2. The NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days.
It should also be noted that approval of an erosion control plan does not in any way

without City/County approved Construction Drawings.
We look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Ryan D. Eaves, PE, CPESC, CFM
