Dear Sir:
Durham County Approval
This office has reviewed the subject Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit Application.
We find the application to be acceptable and hereby issue this letter of approval. If any
stipulations or recommendations are applicable, a list is attached and is incorporated as a part
of this letter of approval. Pursuant to Section 3.8. S of the Durham City -County Unified

The Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program is performance oriented, requiring
protection of the natural resources and adjoining properties. If following the commencement
of this project it is determined that the sedimentation and erosion control plan is inadequate
to meet the requirements of the Durham City -County Unified Development Ordinance, this
office may require revisions in the plan and its implementation to ensure compliance with the
Ordinance.
Pursuant to Section 12.10.6 of the Durham City -County Unified Development Ordinance,

NCGO10000 Requirements
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 Annette. lucasncdenr. rov or Paul Clark at Paul. clark ncdenr. gov. After
you submit a complete and correct NOI Form, a COC will be emailed to you within three
business days. There is a $100 annual fee for coverage. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR
Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCGO1 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 NCGO1 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days.
It should also be noted that approval of an erosion control plan does not in any way
indicate approval of, or authorization to begin installation of Stormwater infrastructure
without City/County approved Construction Drawings.
We look forward to working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Robert Sokolowski
Erosion Control Technician

Fact Sheet on the New N0001 Permit^E
01
April 2019
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 [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);1
• 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 NCG01 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 NCG01 permit
SWPPP: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, required by the NCG01
The NCG01 Process
The new NCG01 applies to permits approved on or after April 1, 2019.
Permittees will no longer receive a copy of the NCG01 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 NCG01 by
completing an a-NOI (available at dep.nc.pov/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 NCG01
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 NCG01
COC. That effort is part of a larger Permit Transformation project at
DEMLR.
