Dear Gilliland and Mr. Hutchison
The Development Services Department Site Engineering Division has reviewed the subject erosion and
sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable and hereby issue this Letter of Approval.
This plan shall expire one (1) year from the date of approval, as required by the City of Asheville Unified
Development Ordinance Section 7-12-2(c)(2)f.
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
any land disturbing activity on the above named project. The NOI form may be accessed at
deq.nc.gov/NCG01. Please direct questions about the NOI form to Brooklyn Broussard at
brooklyn.broussardencdenr.gov or Paul Clark at Paul.clarkencdenr.gov. If the owner/operator of this
project changes in the future, the new responsible party is required to apply for his/her own COC.
A pre-construction meeting is required to be scheduled with the City of Asheville, at which your permits
will be issued. Please submit a copy of the NCDEQ Certificate of Coverage and shop drawings prior to
scheduling the pre-construction meeting. Contact Ric Ledford at [e-mail] to
schedule your pre-construction meeting.
Also, this letter gives the notice required by G.S. 113A-61.1(a) of our right of periodic inspection to
insure compliance with the approved plan.

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 NCG01 permit and the COC, once it is received.
3. Records of inspections made during the previous 12 months.
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.
