Title 15A NCAC 4B .0118(a) and the NCG01 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.
Also,this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic
inspection to ensure 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. This permit
allows for a land-disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed the
approved acres. Exceeding the acreage will be a violation of this permit and would
require a revised plan and additional application fee. 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,
Jack Dalton
Assistant Regional Engineer

Fact Sheet on the New NCG01 Permit DEQ
April 2019 X
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(919)707-3639.
