RE: Grading Permit #1-20 Revision 2, Treehouses on Kerr
Dear Mr. Robert Huckabee III;
This office has reviewed the revised erosion and sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to
be acceptable with modifications. Please read thepermit conditions care !1 and return the si ned blue
original to our office and keep the copyfor your records. Approval of this land disturbing permit hereby
give notice of our right of periodic inspection to ensure compliance with the approved plan.
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 NCG010000
Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to the commencement of
and land disturbing activity on the above named project, according to State Stormwater requirements.
The NOI form may be accessed at deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to
Annette Lucas at [e-mail] or Paul Clark at [e-mail]. 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 NCG01 permit. However, on or after May 1, 2019, a $100 fee
will be charged annually. This fee is to be sent to the DEMLR Stormwater Central Office staff in Raleigh.
Once the project is stabilized and completed a Notice of Termination (NOT) should be filed to final out the
project.
A copy of the enclosed land disturbing permit, a copy of the approved erosion and sedimentation
control plan as well as any approved deviations, the NCG01 permit, a copy of the Certificate of Compliance
(COC), records of inspections made during the previous 30 days and a rain gauge must be posted at the
job site.
A preconstruction meeting is optional prior to any land disturbing activity on this project. Please
contact me at [phone] if you would like to schedule this meeting in our office. If you choose not to
have the preconstruction meeting, you need to contact us with the date land disturbing activity will take
place onsite and again once the initial erosion control measures are installed.

New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation Cuncrul Program is performance- oriented,
requiring protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the
commencement of the project, it is determined that the plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of
the New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance, this office may require revisions
to the plan and its implementation of the revisions to insure compliance with the ordinance.
This land disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land
disturbing activity has been undertaken. If no activity takes place within one year after work has begun
onsite, the permit will expire. Please contact this office to reactivate a permit that has expired.
Acceptance and approval of this erosion control plan is conditioned on your compliance with
Federal and State water quality laws, regulations and rules. This permit will not preclude any other permits
or approvals necessary for beginning or completing this development. It is the owner's responsibility to
have all the approvals and permits that are required prior to beginning construction.
Please note this approval is based in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the
Financially 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.
Your cooperation is appreciated,
