Dear Wildlands Engineering, Inc.,
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the
plan to be acceptable with modifications and hereby issue this Letter of Approval with
Modifications. The Modifications Required for Approval are listed on the attached page.
The Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. 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.
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 $120 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 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 NCG01 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 ensure compliance with the approved plan.
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 insure 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/Ownership Form, which you provided. You are requested to
file an amended form if there is any change in the information included on the form. This
permit allows for a land-disturbance, as called for on the application and plan, not to
exceed the approved acres. Exceeding the acreage can be a violation of this permit and
may require a revised plan and additional application fee. In addition, it would be helpful if
you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
Modifications Required for Approval:
General Comments:
1. Please print this email as your Letter of Approval for your NCG010000 Certificate of
Coverage application.
2.Please notify this office prior to your pre-construction conference for this project by
calling(336) 776-9800 and asking to speak with the Land Quality inspector for your county.
Permission must be obtained and granted from NC DEQ DEMLR prior to the removal of any
ESC measures. All additional permits should be obtained, as necessary, prior to beginning
construction. [GS 113A-51, 15A NCAC 4B .0120]
3. Any off-site borrow and waste required for this project must come from a site with an
approved erosion control plan, a site regulated under the Mining Act of 1971, or a landfill
regulated by the Division of Solid Waste Management. Trash/debris from demolition
activities or generated by any activities on site must be disposed of at a facility regulated by
the Division of Solid Waste Management or per Division of Solid Waste Management or
Division of Water Resources rules and regulations. [15A NCAC 4B .0110]
4. Additional measures may be required -The applicant is responsible for the control of
sediment on-site. If the approved erosion and sedimentation control measures prove
insufficient,the applicant must take those additional steps necessary to stop sediment
from leaving this site. [15A NCAC 4B .0115]
5. The NCG01 has a $120 yearly fee and our office often receives closure inspection
requests days prior to yearly NCG01 fee payment due dates. Be advised the project
requires a closure inspection report by DEMLR prior to filing the Notice of Termination
(NOT)to terminate NCG01 coverage. The closure inspection should not be requested until
after the site has achieved full vegetative stabilization and measures have been
removed. The removal of temporary ESC measures, including basins, requires prior
approval. Often, a full growing season is necessary between initial seeding/mulching and
removal of measures. Please plan your construction accordingly to avoid contacting our
office prematurely for a closure inspection. Also be advised you may be asked for
representative site pictures prior to a closure inspection. [General Comment]
Your cooperation is appreciated.
