Hey Robb,
Sorry we had Henry's going away party from 11 until now. I talked to Brad and he said for the Corps we would ask that
the material be removed in a way that would not trigger a permit. Such as working from the fill material back to the
upland point. No double handling so remove the material directly from the wetlands to uplands, do not redeposit even
temporarily into wetlands. The excavator used needs to have a smooth bucket and they need to ensure that their
removal does not go deeper than the pre-existing elevation. Temporary matting should be used and the boundaries
should be clearly marked so there is no activity in the unimpacted wetland area. Let me know if this makes sense or if
you want me to type it up in a word document.
Thanks,
Rachel

Thanks Shelton. If you two can please review what I have put together to provide to Onslow Co. and provide any
additional language, I would appreciate it. NCDEMLR will include this within their sediment removal plan as well.

Some sample language and a sediment plan example from Asheville. Hope this helps a little. I think the rfp should have
numbers criteria. If possible.
Thank you,

Holley,
On behalf of Steve Myers, attached is the sediment removal plan (with attachments) as requested below. Coastal
Carolina Resource Group has already provided containment down in the wetlands to prevent further impacts, and swale
4 has been corrected and stabilized. This sediment removal plan is based on Nick Garner's last site meeting with you
and Rob a few weeks ago. They are currently working up a quote for sediment removal, and once that is in to Steve, he
would like to set up a meeting with all necessary parties to discuss any final details for the removal, and coordinate
moving forward. Please let me know if there are any questions in the mean time.
Happy 4th of July!
Thanks,
Jonathan L. McDaniel, PE

Good Afternoon All,
Please see the attached inspection report from our site visit on May 16, 2019. Our office is requesting that a
Sediment Removal Plan (items 1-9 in the comments section) be submitted in response to the non-compliant inspection
report. This will require an update of the impacts map that Parker previously provided in addition to specific
information regarding the restoration of the wetlands. This plan will also need to address what immediate action will be
taken onsite to prevent future sediment damage from the failure of swale #4, how swale #4 will be stabilized as well as
how the fill in the wetlands will be stabilized to prevent continued sediment damage. We are also requesting copies of
the self -inspections that show when the swale was realigned and sediment basin #4 installed in the location approved
on 11/15/2018, when the basin was removed, converted to a swale and when the failure of the swale occurred. The
required documentation along with on the ground efforts to bring the site into compliance with the approved plan
should begin with 45 days from today's date. Failure to provide the requested information will result in enforcement
action by this office. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions or I may be of assistance to you in any
way.
Sincerely,
Holley Snider

From the Corps perspective we would ask that the material be removed in a way that would not
trigger a permit, such as working from on the fill material back to the upland point. No double
handling so remove the material directly from the wetlands to uplands, do not redeposit even
temporarily into wetlands. The small excavator used needs to have a smooth bucket and they
need to ensure that their removal does not go deeper than the pre-existing elevation. Temporary
matting should be used and the boundaries should be clearly marked so there is no activity in the
un -impacted wetland area.

Sample Language: Sediment Removal from Wetlands
The sedimentation impacts to the wetlands are violations of wetland standards which are in Title
15A NCAC 0213 .0231, which specifically includes the following:
Title 15A NCAC 02B .0231 (b) (1) Liquids, fill or other solids or dissolved gases may not be present
in amounts which may cause adverse impacts on existing wetland uses; (5) Hydrological
conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics naturally present in
wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts on: (C) The chemical, nutrient and
dissolved oxygen regime of the wetland; (D) The movement of aquatic fauna; (F) Water levels or
elevations.
Restoration Plan to Include:
• Method?
• Equipment?
• Schedule?
• Monitoring Requirements?
1. Please submit a Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. You are encouraged to
secure a consultant to assist you with your plan development and with obtaining any permit,
certification, and/ or authorization necessary to achieve compliance. Further, you are
encouraged to schedule an on-site meeting with the Division of Water Resources (DWR) and
the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) prior any restoration efforts to
ensure compliance of this plan.
This plan should include the following:
a. Detail how the sediment material in wetlands will be removed and how wetlands will
be restored. This information must be clearly depicted on a map that you provide as a
part of this response.
b. Include details of any temporary impacts needed to remove the sediment and how
these temporary impacts will be restored.
c. Any fill placed in wetlands must be removed. Also, address the measures that will be
used for temporary stabilization and sediment control while this work is under way.
d. Sediment impacts to the wetlands on-site must be removed to pre-existing
grade/contours. The sediment removal should be conducted with hand labor with
buckets, shovels, and wheelbarrows. The sediment should be removed from the
wetlands, taken to a high ground area away from the wetlands and stabilized with the
use of silt fencing. The use of wattles/coir logs is highly recommended to keep the
sediment from moving further downstream and into additional adjacent wetlands or
streams.
e. Small mechanical equipment and temporary timber matting can be used to aid in
transporting the sediment to the disposal area. Please give details of the equipment
and proposed method of removal. Removal of saplings no greater than 2 inches in
diameter and any dead trees may be allowed to facilitate in this process.

f. After sediment removal is complete, please contact the DWR to schedule a site visit to
determine if restoration is done in accordance with plan. In addition, an herbaceous
wetland seed mix must be included in your plan for all wetlands that are disturbed.
The DWR will determine on-site if planting of wetland seed mix will be required.
g. Please indicate in your response a schedule with dates detailing when the restoration
will be accomplished. This schedule should include a three-year monitoring plan to
ensure that the wetlands are restored. After one year, the DWR will reevaluate if
additional monitoring is required. Photo documentation of restoration is
recommended to help make this determination.
h. Finally, you should include in your response an explanation of how you propose to
prevent these problems from reoccurring on this project and on future projects.
2. It is required that you contact the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to ensure that your restoration efforts are in compliance with
the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
3. The wetland restoration plan will be monitored by the Division of Water Resources and the
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
