Re: Notice of Violation
Project Name and Land Disturbance Permit: TownPlaceSuites — S006216
Dear Mr. Manocha:
On June 8, 2020, a duly authorized representative of the Water Quality Division of the
Wake County Department of Environmental Services inspected the subject project/property
and determined that there are violations of the Wake County Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) Article 10 and the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973, N.C. General Statute
113A-50 et seq. See the attached report.
VIOLATIONS:
The following actions are violations of Article 10 of the Wake County Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) and subject to the related enforcement and penalty provisions:
1. Failure to follow approved plan:
• 10-40-2 to conduct a land -disturbing activity except in accordance with provisions of
an approved plan.
Findings: Silt fences were not installed as per the approved plan. Ground cover was
not provided on some slopes as per NPDES requirement.

2. Failure to protect against off -site sedimentation:
• 10-40-3 to fail to protect against off -site sedimentation damage when conducting
any land -disturbing activity.
• 10-40-4 to leave dirt, mud or other material on any travel way in a manner that is
determined to be a hazard to public safety or deemed detrimental to the waters of
the State.
Findings: Sediment loss was observed to a BMP located at 2000 Carrington Mill Blvd.
Sediment was originated from the construction site, Townplace Suites, located at 1021
Carrington Mill Blvd. Sediment has overtopped the retaining wall and is accumulated
behind the tree protection fence.
3. Failure to maintain erosion control measures:
• 10-23-1 During the development of a site, the person conducting the land -disturbing
activity must install, routinely inspect and maintain in good working order all
temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures as required
by the approved plan or any provision of this article, the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act, or any order adopted pursuant to the erosion
and sedimentation control regulations of this article or the North Carolina
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
• 10-23-3 Whenever the County determines that significant erosion and
sedimentation is occurring as a result of land -disturbing activity, despite application
and maintenance of protective practices, the person conducting the land -disturbing
activity will be required to and shall take additional protective action.
10-23-4 All streets, sidewalks, greenways or other travel ways must be kept free
from mud, dirt, dust or other material that may create a hazard to public safety or
cause the travel way to be unreasonably muddy, as determined by the County.
Findings: Silt fence and some perimeter and interior sediment and erosion control
measures were not maintained.
4. Failure to provide adequate ground cover:
• 10-20-5(B)(5) All uncovered areas that result from land disturbing activities, and are
subject to continued and accelerated erosion, and are causing the movement of
sediment offsite from the tract, must be provided with a ground cover or other
protective measures, structures or devices sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion
and control off -site sedimentation.
• NCG01 NPDES Stormwater Discharge Permit for Construction Activities

Findings: Adequate ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion was not provided on
some slopes.
READ CAREFULLY:
To bring the project back into compliance, the following must be accomplished by July 6, 2020
unless stated below:
• Sediment loss was observed to a BMP located at 2000 Carrington Mill Blvd. Sediment
was originated from the construction site, Townplace Suites, located at 1021
Carrington Mill Blvd. Remove sediment from the BMP located at 2000 Carrington Mill
Blvd and repair all damages caused by the sediment loss. A permission from the
property owner will be needed to work on BMP.
• Sediment has overtopped the retaining wall and is accumulated behind the tree
protection fence. Remove sediment off the tree protection fences.
• Silt fences were installed to prevent sediment entering tree protection area but they
were not anchored properly. Silt fences without proper anchoring will not function
properly. Silt fences without anchoring will not hold silt. Also, be advised that wooden
posts are not allowed with silt fences.
• Some slopes are still bare. Provide ground cover on bare slopes.
Failure to bring the project into compliance within the time specified is subject to additional
civil and criminal penalties for a continuing violation under the UDO Article 10-41-2. Please be
advised that any further land -disturbance or construction activity shall not take place until you
are compliant with these Articles.
Your prompt attention and cooperation in this matter is appreciated. Reference all attached
documents for additional information. If you have any questions, contact me at 919-819-8907
Sincerely,
+ice\:"
