Dear Mr. White:
The subject erosion and sedimentation control plan was approved by default. The Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act (hereinafter "Act") states that this plan must be filed a minimum of 30 days (I 5
days for revised plans) prior to the activity and the approving authority must approve or disapprove the
submitted plan within 30 days (15 days for revised plans) of receipt of G.S. I I3A-54.1. The Act further
states that if the approving authority fails to approve or disapprove the submitted plan within the 30-day
(15 days for revised plans) period, the plan will be deemed approved. The enclosed 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 l 5A NCAC
4B .0I29.
As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an
electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) form requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the
NCGO10000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to the
commencement of any land disturbing activity on the above named project. The NOI form may be
accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCGO1. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Annette Lucas at
[e-mail] or Paul Clark at Paul.clark(ajncdenr.gov. After you submit a complete
and correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three business days. Initially,
DEMLR will not charge a fee for coverage under the NCGOI permit. However, on or after June 1,
2019, a $100 fee will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central

Fact Sheet on the New NCGO1 Permit DE��,�
April 2019 ....���-
The NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCGOV') 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 NCGO1 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 [e-mail] or [phone].
Organizational Updates
The new permit:
• Repeats state requirements for E&SC
Plans and organizes them with federal
construction activity requirements;
• Is clearly organized by topic; and
• Has less text and more tables.
Technical Updates
The new permit:
• Requires that the E&SC Plan meet
SWPPP requirements (p. 2);
• Provides a list of items that must be
included in the SWPPP, such as the
construction sequence, plans,
calculations, etc. (p. 2-4);t
• Has updated language on bypasses and
upsets that is tailored to construction
activities (p. 10);
• Puts all timeframes for inspections,
record -keeping and reporting in
"calendar days" for clarity and
consistency (p. 11-14);2
• Changes the inspection frequency
(during business hours) to at least
once per 7 calendar days and after
every storm > 1.0 inch (previously 0.5
inch);' and
• Excludes weekends, state and federal
holidays from normal business hours
unless construction activities take
place (p. 23).
This list is based on website guidance
by the DEMLR Sediment Program.
The number of calendar days was
selected to be as equivalent as
possible with the previous permit.
The intent is to provide predictability
to the inspection schedule.
Acronyms to Know
COC: Certificate of Coverage, proof of coverage under an NCGO1 permit
DEMLR: NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
E&SC: Erosion & Sedimentation Control
e-NOI: Notice of Intent, application form for the NCG01 permit
e-NOT: Notice of Termination, form for closing out the NCGO1 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCGO1
111c 1144VL1 V I Vb4=77
The new NCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April I, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCGO1 permit in the mail
with their E&SC Plan approvals and be considered as covered under the
permit. Federal rules require that DEMLR receive an NOI on each
construction project and issue each construction project its own COC.
Under the new NCG01 process, construction sites will continue to
receive approval for E&SC Plans from either DEMLR or the delegated
local E&SC program just like before. After receiving E&SC Plan approval,
permittees will officially obtain coverage under the NCGO1 by
completing an a-NOI (available at deq.nc.gov/NCG01). The a-NOI will
only take about 20 minutes to fill out and submit on-line.
Initially, there will be no charge associated with applying for an NCGO1
permit but on or around June 1, 2019, DEMLR will begin charging a $100
annual general permit fee as required per §143-215.3D.
DEMLR is working on creating a single application form that will allow an
applicant to simultaneously apply for an E&SC permit and an NCGO1
CDC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
