RE: Grading Permit GP # 3-16 Revision 10C Murrayville Road Extension Stockpile at Springwater
Reserve/Hanover Reserve
Dear Mr. William Bland
This office has reviewed the erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable
and hereby issue this land-disturbing permit with modifications. Please read the permit conditions
carefully, return the signed color original to our office and keep the copy for your records. A copy of the
enclosed land-disturbing permit must be posted at the job site. This letter gives the notice required by
GS 113A-61.1(a) and the New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance Article VIII
Section 8.20 of our right of periodic inspection to ensure compliance with the approved plan.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an electronic
Notice of Intent (e-NOI) 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 e-
NOI form and fee details may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the e-
NOI 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.
A copy of the enclosed land-disturbing permit,a copy of the approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan as well as any approved deviations, records of inspections made during the previous 12 months with
the States Certificate of Compliance (COC) number on the report, and a rain gauge must be posted at the
job site as required by 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a), the NCGO1 permit, and the New Hanover County Erosion
and Sedimentation Control Ordinance Article VIII Section 8.18(0).
The land disturbing fee of$921 is due to be paid to New Hanover County Engineering, to my attention
upon receipt of this permit.
A preconstruction meeting is optional prior to land-disturbing activity on this project. Please contact me
at [phone] if you would like to schedule this meeting in our office. If you choose not to have a
preconstruction meeting,you must contact us with the date the land-disturbing activity will take place
onsite and again once the initial erosion control measures are installed.

Page 2 of 2
New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation 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 Statutes 113A-
51 through 66), and the New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance Article VIII
Section 8.18 (F), this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation of the revisions to
ensure compliance with the Act and Ordinance.
This land-disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land-disturbing
activity has been undertaken,as required by the New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Ordinance Article VIII Section 8.17 (D). If no activity takes place within one year after work has begun
onsite,the permit will expire. Please contact this office to reactivate a permit that has expired.
Acceptance and approval of this erosion control plan is conditioned upon your compliance with Federal
and State water quality laws, regulations and rules and local city or county ordinances or rules.This land-
disturbing permit approval does not supersede any other permits or approvals. It is the owner's
responsibility to have all the permits and approvals that are required, prior to beginning construction.
Please note this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the Financially
Responsibility Form,which you provided.You are required to file an amended form if there is any change
in the information included on the form.
Your cooperation is appreciated,

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit
April 2019
The NC Construction General Permit(also known as"NCG01")was renewed on April 1,2019.The updated permit
does not significantly change the measures that are required to be implemented on construction sites. However,
there are some organizational and technical updates to the permit as described below. Most notably,there is a new
process in which construction sites will obtain official coverage under an NCGO1 permit through an electronic
process. DEMLR worked with a broad team of stakeholders to make all of these updates. If you have questions,
contact Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or(919)707-3639.

The NCG01 and Single Family Lots/Outparrcels
The NC301 permit applies to owners or operators of construction activities, Including clearing,
grading or excavation activities that result In the disturbance of land greater than or equal to one
acre, or that are part of a common plan of development of that size.
Definitions:
"Common plan of development" means an area%mere multiple separate and distinct land
disturbing activities may be taking place at different times and on different schedules, but under
one proposed plan. EPA broadly defines `one plan"as any announcement or piece of
documentation(Including a sign, public notice or hearing,safes pitch,advertisement,drawing,
permit application, zoning request, computer design, etc.)or physical demarcation(including
boundary signs, lot stakes,surveyor marldngs,etc.)indicating construction activities may occur
on a specific plot.
"Subdivision' means the development and division of a lot,tract,or parcel of land into two or
more lots, plats,sites,or otherwise for the purpose of establishing or creating a subdivision
through sale, lease, or building development Development includes, but is not limited to,the
design work of lot layout, the construction of drainage structures, the construction of buildings or
public use areas, the planning and construction of public streets and public roads, and the
placement of public utilities.
The Bottom Line:
Common plans of development include,the individual portions of a development or subdivision
(for example, a building and its associated parking lot and driveways or Individual lots within a
building complex). Therefore,these individual portions typically require an NCGO1 Certificate of
Compliance(COC),even if they disturb lees than an acre by th m selves. And, per the EPA the
NCGO1 COC must be issued to the owner or operator. It cannot be issued to a group of
different builders.
DEMLR is Providing Flexibility:
DEMLR can Issue NCGO1 COCA on a`per subdivision, per owner' basis. In other words, if a
Wilder wishes to take down and sell lots throughout the development of a subdMslon,that
builder may obtain one COC for the entire subdivision and then take down, build, and sell as
many lots as he/she wishes until the completion and close-out of the final lot. The builder will
complete the e-NOI after receiving E&SC plan approval for the first lot(or group of lots). This
NCGO1 COC will cover the builder's construction activities in the subdivision until the final close-
out Inspection of the builder's final lot. Upon receiving documentation of the termination of the
MSC plan approval and/or associated grading or land-disturbing permits,the builder may
submit the Mice of Termination(e-NOT)to end NCGO1 coverage for that subdivision for
their owned and completed lots.
Can a CDC be Transferred?
No, the NCGDI COC is not transferrable. If lots are transferred to a new owner,then the new
owner awl complete an s-NOI and receive his or her own CDC.

Scenarios that require an NCGO9 COC:
A land developer permits and disturb only the original streets and infrastructure
installation for a subdivision even If the disturbance is less than one acre.
A builder purchases 4 lots for development at 0.15 acres each In a 10-acre subdivision
(even though the disturbance for the lots Is only 0.60 acre,the disturbance for the overall
subdivision is over 1.0 acre and the lots are part of the common plan of development for
the overall subdivision.)
A utility company constructs two oil and gas well pads that are 500 feet apart built by the
same owner with each pad disturbing 0.75 acre'(Common plan of development)
A developer builds on a 0.50 acre outparcel in a 4-acre commercial development
What if the above scenarios do not require an E&SC Plan Approval?
Construction activities that do not require an &sc Plan or NUM, coverage must still adhere
to the applicable mandatory standards for land-disturbing activity In the Sedimentation and
Pollution Control Act[G.S. 113A-67(1)&(2)]. These standards include proving a buffer zone,
stabilizing slopes, maintaining sediment on site and providing ground stabilization. DEMLR will
provide a number of acceptable sample single family lot E&SC Plans on its web site. In addition,
the owner or operator will be required to submit an e-NOI and adhere to the permit
requirements. DEMLR will also add some additional language in the NCG01 permit to clarify
that there will not be an"E&SC Plan authority that reviews and approves the E&SC Plan in
those cases.
Which Individual lots/par do NOT need an NCGOT COC?
lithe disturbance is less then one acre and the lot Is not part of a Common Plan of
Development,then NCt301 coverage is not needed. Typically, a lot Is not part of a Common
Plan of Development when both of the following apply:
The lot is not subject to subdivision covenants, and
The lot Is not shown on a master plan.
What if the delegated local program does not provide an approval letter or a
termination/11nel Inspect report?
if a local delegated program Is unable to approve an E&SC Plan for any construction activity or
Is not able to provide an approval letter or terminatiorAnal inspection report,then DEMLR
regional office staff can conduct the review, approval,Inspections and its,
