Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic
inspection to insure 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 Form, which you provided. You are requested to file an
amended form if there is any change in the information included on the form. In addition, it
would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
