Water Act (CWA) Section 402(1)(2) for transmission facilities, drill pads, processing facilities, non-
public access roads associated with oil and gas activities, or local borrow pits that supply material

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 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 and on the plan, which you provided. You are requested to file an
amended form if there is any change in the information included on the form.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
