The soil erosion measures detailed on your plans are the minimum required by the City of Greensboro. When conditions become apparent the owner/developer may be required by the City of Greensboro to have his/her engineers to design or redesign additional measures/devices to assure land protection. The approved sediment and erosion control plan may be and will be revised during construction when, in the opinion of the engineer or inspector, additional measures are necessary to prevent soil loss. 1. Erosion Control measures shall be installed prior to grading and according to plans or as directed by the City of Greensboro's Erosion Control Inspector. 2. The approval of the Erosion Control plan does not mean that additional measures may not be required to stop off-site sedimentation. 3. The Owner/Developer shall require the contractor to take every reasonable precaution throughout construction to prevent erosion of soil and sedimentation of streams, lakes, reservoirs, other water impoundments, ground surfaces or other property, as required by the City of Greensboro Development Ordinance. Chapter 30—Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control. 4. The Owner/Developer is responsible for maintaining the erosion and sediment control devices for the duration of the construction. a.

If eroded soil from the site is deposited on adjacent property, City street or into a waterway, the Owner/Developer shall be responsible for returning the adjacent property, city street or waterway to its original condition in a matter satisfactory to the City or the owner of the property. 6. After fill cut slopes and other disturbed areas of the construction limits are completed, the areas should be seeded within fourteen (14) calendar days, according to the seeding specifications. Perimeter dikes, swales, ditches and slopes, and all slopes steeper than 3:1 or greater than 50 feet in length should be stabilized within seven (7) calendar days. 7.

The City of Greensboro has the authority to require changes in the owner's groundcover maintenance plan in order to stop soil erosion and sedimentation at any time. Investigations The City shall have the power to conduct such investigations as it may reasonably deem necessary to carry out its duties as prescribed in this Ordinance, and for this purpose to enter at reasonable times upon any property, public or private, for the purpose of investigating and inspecting the sites of any land-disturbing activity.

E&SC Representative: Date: Name Company/Role Phone Email Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit April 2019 arportme. etEn�, 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 NCG01 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 Annette.lucas@ncdenr.gov or (919) 707-3639.
