Dear Mr. Morton:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan and hereby issues this Letter
of Approval with Modifications and Performance Reservations. A list of the modifications and
reservations is attached. 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. Should the
plan not perform adequately, a revised plan will be required(G.S. 113A-54.1)(b).
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 $100 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/NCG01. Please direct questions about
the eNO1 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 documentation be kept on file
at the job site:
1. The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation.
2. The NCG01 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 insure
compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program 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. This permit allows for a land-disturbance, as called for on the
application plan, not to exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit
and would require a revised plan and additional application fee. 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. Please notify us if you plan to have a preconstruction
conference.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
/e.iewila. yi/all

APPROVAL COMMENTS AND CONDITIONS
Project Name: 385 & 389 Newport Loop Road Single Source Borrow Site
Project ID: CARTE-2024-0106
Application ID: PA-004632
County: Carteret
1. It is assumed that the project is proposed as a single use borrow and as such must meet the
requirements as specified under NCGS 74-49(7)f: 1) material is going to a single off-site approved
construction project,2) no further processing of material is required,3) Grading is completed in one
year,4)no blasting,and 5)the activity is not a violation of any local ordinance. Any noncompliance
with these items means that the project must be permitted under the Mining Act.
2. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on-site. If the approved erosion and sedimentation
control measures prove insufficient,the developer must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment
from leaving this site. (NCGS 113A-57(3)). Each sediment storage device must be inspected after each storm
event(NCGS 113A-54.1(e)). Maintenance and/or clean out is necessary anytime the device is at 50%capacity.
All sediment storage measures will remain on site and functional until all grading and final landscaping of the
project is complete (15A NCAC 04B .0113).
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the proposed development
unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel is prohibited unless the
ditch or channel is to be regarded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or less steep (15A NCAC
04B .0124 (d)). Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered new earth work and is
subject to the same erosion control requirements as new ditches(NCGS 113A-52(6)).
4. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the development of
this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could include our agency's
Stormwater regulations and the Division of Water Resources' enforcement requirements within Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid Waste Management's
landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act,local County or Municipalities' ordinances,or others that may be required.
This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval;however,in the case of a Cease and Desist Order
from the Corps of Engineers, that Order would only apply to wetland areas. All highland would still have to
be in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
5. If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act, the developer is
responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water Resources (DWR), the Corps of
Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Any erosion control measures that
fall within jurisdictional wetland areas must be approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to installation.
The Land Quality Section must be notified of a relocation of the measures in question to the transition point
between the wetlands and the uplands to assure that the migration of sediment will not occur. If that relocation
presents a problem or contradicts any requirements of either DWR,the Corps,or the EPA,it is the responsibility
of the developer to inform the Land Quality Section regional office so that an adequate contingency plan can
be made to assure sufficient erosion control remains on site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of
this approval(NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).

6. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed 4.9 acres.
Exceeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and additional
application fee(NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).
7. The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and steel posts a maximum of eight
(8)feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change that necessitates more posts for support,
i.e., the spacing distance needs to be reduced to no greater than six (6) feet apart (E&SC Planning & Design
Manual 6.63,Rev. 6/06).
8. Because the sediment traps and basins are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation and erosion
control devices on this project, it is necessary that the traps and basins and their collection systems be
installed before any other grading takes place on site, and that every structure that receives more than one
acre of drainage is built so that each dewaters only from the surface (NCG010000). If that proves to be
impractical, a revised plan must be submitted and approved that addresses erosion and sediment control
needs during the interim period until the traps and basins are fully functioning(113A-54.1(b)).
9. A graveled construction entrance must be located at each point of access and egress available to construction
vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and egress from the project site at
a point without a graveled entrance will be considered a violation of this approval. Routine maintenance of the
entrances is critical(NCGS 113A-54.1(b)).
10. As a condition of the provided NPDES General Stormwater Permit (NCG010000), groundcover stabilization
must meet specific time frames. Slopes(including cuts,fills,and ditch banks)that are steeper than 3 horizontal
to 1 vertical left exposed will, within seven (7) calendar days after completion of any phase of grading, be
provided with groundcover. Slopes that are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter will be provided with
groundcover within fourteen(14) calendar days.
11. As a condition of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit(NCG010000),the financially responsible party
shall comply with the NCGO1 Ground Stabilization And Materials Handling requirements that became
effective April 1, 2019. The NCGO1 Ground Stabilization And Materials Handling standard detail can be
printed from the deq.nc.gov/NCG01 website.
12. As a condition of the NPDES General Stormwater Permit(NCG010000),the financially responsible party
shall comply with the NCGO1 Self-Inspection, Recordkeeping and Reporting requirements that became
effective April 1,2019. The NCGO1 Self-Inspection,Recordkeeping and Reporting standard detail can be
printed from the deq.nc.gov/NCG01 website.
13. As a part of routine monitoring of the approved land-disturbing activity, the financially responsible party
shall assure inspections of the area covered by the approved plan after each phase of the plan has been
completed and after establishment of temporary ground cover in accordance with North Carolina General
Statute 113A-54.1(e).
