The Act requires that all persons disturbing an area of one or more acres of land must obtain approval of a soil erosion control plan prior to the commencement of the land-disturbing activity (G.S. 113A-54(d) (4)). The Act further states that this plan must be filed a minimum of 30 days prior to the activity and the approving authority must approve or disapprove the submitted plan within 30 days of receipt. Failure of the approving authority to approve or disapprove the submitted plan within the 30-day period will be deemed approval of the plan. Commencement or continuation of a land-disturbing activity under the jurisdiction of this Act prior to the approval of an erosion and sediment control plan is a violation of the Act. The approval of an erosion and sediment control plan is conditioned on the applicant's compliance with Federal and State water quality laws, regulations and rules. Please note additional information may be requested during the review of your ESC plan, and ESC plans are reviewed in the order received. �� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources 4111.11-1411.1 Winston-Salem Regional Office 1450 Hanes Mill Road,Suite 300 I Winston-Salem,North Carolina 27105 M 336-776-9800 Be advised the NC Construction General Permit (also known as "NCG01") was renewed on April 1, 2019.
