The site visit and file review revealed that the subject project has an approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan and is covered by Stormwater General Permit NCGO10000. This project was inspected for compliance with the 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) #3402 with Additional Conditions granted on September 11, 2007 for the construction of a residential subdivision known as Eagle Creek. The WQC approved the impact of 0.35 acres of wetland and 72 feet of stream to complete your project as described in your September 19, 2006 application. The impacts as built, appear to be within the limits of approval with the exception of Impact D. There was no stormwater flume observed during the inspection at this impact area as described in the application. In addition, the project was inspected for compliance with the Construction Stormwater General Permit (NCGO10000) that is issued upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. This permit applies to projects that receive a Division of Land Resources (DLR) (or local delegated program) Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan for land disturbance of 1 acre or greater. Specifically, the General Permit (NCGO10000) authorizes the discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) in accordance with Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 2H.0100.
