Dear North Carolina Living Historical Farm Committee, 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 below.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.TheeNOlform may be accessed
atdeq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please directquestions about theeNOlform totheStormwater 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:
1. Please provide a summary of calculations for diversions. Include velocities, shear stress calculations,
and other pertinent parameters for designing E&SC measures. [15A NCAC 04B .0108]
2. Please provide locations for the concrete washout station and stockpiles, with measures. These
should not be located within 50 feet of any storm drain, basin, or stream unless no alternative is
feasible. [G.S. 143-215.1]
3. Please include temporary diversion ditch installation in the construction sequence in Phase 1.
4. Provide location of outlet stabilization for skimmer basin on the plans representative of field
conditions.A stone outlet in the silt fence is not a suitable replacement for outlet stabilization designed
to achieve non-erosive flow. [15A NCAC 4B .0106(a)(6)]
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. Please also include the pre-
construction conference in the construction sequence in Phase 1. [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]
