Dear Blue Ridge Power, LLC,
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. Please see the attached
Application Report (FRO form), Letter of Approval (LOA) and the Certificate of Approval (COA), if applicable. This plan
2

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.
The attached, signed, digital copy of the letter may be used to submit with your electronic Notice of Intent (eN01) in order
to receive your Certificate of Coverage (COC). As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete
and submit an electronic Notice of Intent (eN01) 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 direct questions about
the eNOlform 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 newCOC.
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 a change to 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 [phone]
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 48 .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
3

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.
