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 15A NCAC 4B .0129. As of March 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 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.lucas@ncdenr.gov 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. Initially, DEMLR will not charge a fee for coverage under the NCGOI 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 in Raleigh.

The approved E&SC plan as well as any approved deviation. 2. The NCGO 1 permit and the COC, once it is received. 3. Records of inspections made during the previous 30 days. Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. I I3A-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. Your cooperation is appreciated. Sincerely, Ja es Moore istant Regional Engineer Land Quality Section Enclosures: Certificate of Approval NCGOI Fact Sheet em: FYarbrough@seamonwhiteside.com cc: Inspection Department Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit DEQ�� April 2019 �:mNfimomefal Waf� 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 Annette.lucas@ncdenr.gov or (919) 707-3639. 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);' • 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);' • 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). 1 This list is based on website guidance by the DEMLR Sediment Program. z 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 e-NOI (available at deg.nc.gov/NCG01). The e-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.
