RE: Grading Permit#48-22.The Sidbury Phase II
Dear Libby Shelton:
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 copyfor 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 8.21 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(eN01i form recuestingaCertificate of Coverage(COC)underthe NCG010000
Construction General Permit. The COC must be obtained prior to the commencement of any land-
disturbing activity on the above-named project, according to State Stormwater requirements.The NOI
form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Paul Clark at
Paul.clarkt�ncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI Form, you will receive a link with
payment instructions for the $100 annual permit fee.After the fee is received,you will receive the COC

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.
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 ControlAct of 1973 (North Carolina
General Statutes 113A-51 through 66), and the New Hanover County Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Ordinance Article VIII Section 8.19(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 8.18 (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 notsupersede 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,

Control Plan as well as any approved deviations, this permit, a rain gauge, the Certificate of Coverage (COC)
number from the State and copies of the Combined Self-Monitoring and Self-Inspection Reports must be
available at all times at the site.
Failure to execute the provisions of this permit and the approved Soil Erosion Plan, or any other provisions
of the New Hanover County Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance, may result in immediate legal

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(THESE CONDITIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ADDITION TO THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS)
*All the soil erosion control measures will be installed as the site is cleared and maintained throughout
construction. This plan includes 2 phases of construction with limited land disturbance in the initial phase and
installation of the initial smaller skimmer sediment basins with built out skimmer basins and additional
disturbance being built in Phase 2. Because the initial erosion control measures are not adequate to restrain
erosion for the entire site in Phase I. The Initial phase includes 5 construction entrances with limited disturbance
to include installation of ditch plugs with immediate ditch filling prior to any rain event, installation of 6 pyramid
wattle check dams or large rock check dams at the ends of all ditches draining to Island and Prince George Creeks,
silt fences, a lined clean water diversion with a 6 wattle pyramid check dam or large rock check dam installed
immediately above the energy dissipator, immediate installation of 4 smaller skimmer sediment basins (TSB) in
the initial phase of grading with Faircloth skimmers and 3 coir baffles,the skimmer in TSB 5 will be 4 inches with a
2.9 inch orifice, the skimmer in TSB 6 will be 2 inches with a 1.7 inch orifice, the skimmer in TSB 7 will be 2 inches

Inspection Program that satisfies the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.These are
mentioned below with specific requirements for each program. These reports are the responsibility of the
property owner. They require a rain gauge onsite, inspections and reporting every 7 calendar days and within
24 hours of every 1.0-inch rain per 24-hour period and at specific phases.of construction. Additional copies of
this Combined Construction Inspection Report can be found at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/erosion .
Reports must be available onsite at all times. If you have questions, please contact New Hanover County
Engineering [phone] or the Land Quality Section at the NC DEMLR Regional office at [phone].
*Note the NPDES information from the State for sites disturbing 1 acre or more and the reporting

withdrawal locations and stabilization requirement designations on the plan in order to qualify for coverage
under the most recent NPDES Construction General Permit. All settling basins must have outlet structures that

(Continued)- Page Three Permit GP#48-22
LNDP 22-00090
withdraw water from the surface, with the exception of basins or traps that have a drainage area of less than 1
acre. The NPDES permit also requires ground cover within 14 calendar days on disturbed flat areas and ground
cover within 7 calendar days on all areas within HOW Zones, perimeter dikes, swales, ditches, perimeter slopes
and all slopes steeper than 3:1. Exceptions include slopes that are 10 feet or less in length and not steeper than
2:1 which must be stabilized within 14 calendar days and slopes greater than 50 feet which must be stabilized
within 7 calendar days. It requires inspections of all erosion control measures and reporting every 7 days and
within 24 hours of every 1,0-inch rain event in a 24-hour period. This permit also includes other new
requirements which are listed in the text of the NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit for Construction Activities
and are included with the original copy of each land-disturbing permit.
*All 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.The COC must
be obtained prior to the commencement of any land-disturbing activity on the above-named Project, according
to State Stormwater requirements. The NOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NDG01. Please direct questions
about the NOI form to Paul Clark at Paul.clarkM'ncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete and correct NOI form,

*Note the Land Resources Self Inspection Program Requirements. This program is separate from the NPDES
reporting and requires inspection and documentation after each phase of construction.These phases include:
Installation of perimeter erosion control measures, Clearing and Grubbing of existing ground cover, Completion
of any phase of grading of slopes or fills, Installation of storm drainage facilities, Completion of construction or
development, Establishment of permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion and any Deviation from
the approved plan.
*Pre-construction meetings are optional. Contact Beth E. Wetherill at [phone] to set up a meeting prior
to land-disturbing activity onsite. If you do not choose to have a preconstruction meeting prior to starting work
on site, you should contact us when activity begins and again when the initial measures have been installed.
This Permit will expire one year from date of issue Acknowledgment of receipt of Permit
