We find the plan to be acceptable with the attached modifications and/or performance reservations and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. Please be advised that Section 26-228 requires that a copy of the approved Soil Erosion Control Plan be on file at the job site. The Buncombe County Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance is a performance oriented program requiring protection of the natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following commencement of this project it is determined that the plan is inadequate, this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation. The approval for this project is good for the time frame stated on the original land disturbing permit. This permit shall become null and void if you have not made progress to begin construction activities on the site within six months after the date of approval. Renewal of the land disturbing permit will require a new plan review submittal with associated fees. The approval of an erosion plan is conditioned on the applicant's compliance with federal and state water quality laws, regulations, and rules. A copy of the erosion control plan for any land disturbing activity that involves the utilization of ditches for the purpose of de -watering or lowering the water table must be forwarded to the director of water quality. *As of April 1, 2019, all new construction activities are required to complete and submit an electronic Notice of Intent (NOI) for requesting a Certificate of Coverage (COC) under the NCG01000 Construction Stormwater General Permit. This form MUST be submitted prior to the commencement of any land disturbing activity on the below named project. The NOI form may be accessed at deq nc.MOV/NCG01. Please direct all questions about the NOI form or the process to Annette Lucas at Annette. lucas6i�ncdenr.,-ov or Paul Clark at Paul. clarWncdennzov. 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 and is not collected by this local program. Once the NCG01 permit has been completed and approved by DEMLR, a project permit number will be given for this project that must be written on the Buncombe County Land Disturbing Permit, which must be on site throughout the construction phase of the project. When the project is complete, the financially responsible party or their representative will contact Buncombe County Erosion and Sedimentation Control Office to close out the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. A Certificate of Compliance will be issued for the project once the site meets the requirement as stated in the original Letter of Approval and standards stated in the Buncombe County Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance. The responsible party will then be instructed to visit dea.nc.,Qov1NCG01 to submit an e-NOT (electronic Notice of Termination) form for closing out the NCG01 permit. Please refer to the attached NCG01 Fact Sheet. A Combined Self -Monitoring and Self -Inspection Form for the NCGO1 is enclosed. Please review all pertinent documents prior to starting construction. We look forward to working with you on this project.

Once the NCGOI COC# has been obtained, the contractor, authorized agent or owner must contact Buncombe County Erosion Control Office to schedule an on -site pre -construction meeting before beginning any grading activity. Contractors must have a copy of the latest set of plans marked "Construction Documents" and showing any revisions and/or details. Approved plans must be available at the construction site at all times for inspection by inspectors and any other governing regulatory agent. A copy of the Erosion Control Permit, a copy of the Letter of Approval with Modification and/or Performance Reservations, and a copy of the Combined Self - Monitoring and Self -Inspection Form must be available on -site in a job box or contractor's trailer at all times. These documents must be reviewed and understood by all parties involved prior to any land disturbing activities. A working rain gauge must also be present and installed at the site for monitoring. Contractor to insure that any import or export material be from a permitted site. Notification must be given to this office for inspection of installed erosion control measures prior to grading activities of the project. Perimeter measures (silt fencing) can be installed after completion of tree removal in certain areas of conflict with approval from erosion control inspector. Alternative measures might be needed in these areas of conflict if potential offsite soil erosion might occur due to changing weather conditions. Erosion control measures must be installed in accordance with the approved engineering plans and maintained at all times. Alternate measures must first be approved with the engineer of record and regulatory site inspector prior to installation. Clearing limits for grading must be clearly delineated in the field as shown on the approved engineering plans. Any additional clearing or land disturbing activity that disturbs the ground surface outside of those limits will constitute a violation of the County's Ordinance and will be subject to penalties. Additional erosion control measures and BMP devices will be required if approved measures are not sufficient to contain and control sediment and runoff on the project site. Additional measures to help control and reduce on -site runoff during construction will be discussed at pre -construction meeting. Areas of construction left bare for more than 15 days without temporary ground cover could delay building construction inspections and cause possible delays in issuance of building occupancy letters. Any deviations in the original approved construction plans or design changes to land clearing to the overall site must first be submitted for review to this regulatory office and approved prior to continuation of construction. Failure to resubmit could result in possible issuance of stop work orders, holding of any building inspections, or issuance of certificates of occupancy. Erosion control measures must be inspected and repaired if needed on a regular basis and maintained at all times. Failure to maintain erosion control measures can result in delayed building inspections, revocation of permits or possible civil penalties. Notification must be given to this office for inspection at the completion of site stabilization of the project prior to the removal of any perimeter/pertinent erosion control measures at the site. Approval of this project is in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Buncombe County Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance and information provided in the approved construction plans, construction sequence, construction details, and docwnentation. Any modification of this approval in regards to soil erosion and seditnentation control must be made aware to the Buncombe County Erosion Control Off ce prior to any changes.
