Swale appeared to be stable and areas were the sediment traps were located were excelsior matted. The drop inlet on the south side of the crossing in this area was removed. This is not shown on the approved plans. The Swale in front of lot 119 in the area of the Fire Hydrant needs additional excelsior mat installed. Swales and -pipes at the corner of Deer 1I111 Drive and Gentle Slope Drive in front of lots 112-114 have been changed and are no longer installed as per plan. Swale on the east side of Gentle Slope Drive in front of lot 114 runs directly into the wetlands. This swale was sodded and matted. Ensure that this swale is completely stable to prevent any sediment from being discharged into the wetlands. Silt fence around the wetland areas need to be maintained. Roman stated this work would be performed on MA I Driveway pipe and driveway installed off of Deer Hill Drive do not appear on the approved plan. Drop inlets on the side of New Hope Place by lots 104 and 110 do not appear to be installed as per the approved plan. Road side swales throughout the Phase I/H area were observed washing and need to be repaired and stabilized. Sediment trap rock filters throughout the site should be maintained as needed. Ensure that rock filters are not holding back water and can drain down. Revised plans and calculations need to be submitted to this office for review showing all changes to the swales and pipes. This should have been done prior to making any changes in the field. Will drainage changes affect NC DENR Storm Water Permit? Time To Comply: 2 weeks to make all necessary repairs and stabilize. 20 working days to submit revised plans. Report By: Robert H.

Wilmington, North Carolina 28405-3845 Subject: Stormwater Project #880213 Dear Mr. Howard: On July 26, 1991 I received a Notice of Violation for Stormwater Project #880213 issued to Waste Industries, Inc., New Hanover County dated July 23, 1991. We are pleased that Ms. Alexis Finn brought this to our attention through her inspection of our facility. We (Waste Industries, Inc.) were totally unaware that this storm water certification and drawings ever existed. Somehow during the development of our facility, the communication between Waste Industries, Inc., H.S. Annis, Architect and Mr. Henry Webster, P.E., failed and this important certification was overlooked. We are currently taking bids on correcting our .facility by installing the three infiltration basins and monitoring wells in accordance with the certification issued on July 7, 1988. The project will be completed within 45.days of the date of this letter and an engineer's certification will be forwarded to your office by October 3, 1991. If I can be of further assistance, I can be reached at 919-782-0095. Sincerely, WASTE I�IE C. David A.

Dear Mr. Gainey: New Hanover County On July 7, 1988, a Certification of Compliance with Stormwater Regulations, Number 880213, was issued to Mr. Henry Webster, P.E., for Waste Industries, Inc. located on S.R. 421 in New Hanover County. On July 12, 1991, Regional Office Staff conducted a compliance inspection of the subject project's stormwater facilities and found none existed. The plans and specifications approved by this Office required the subject site's stormwater runoff to be routed to 1 of 3 infiltration basins. The lack thereof establishes violations with 15A NCAC 2H.1003(a)(7). It is requested you provide this Office with a written response to this Notice before August 19, 1991. Your reply should identify specific corrective actions which will be undertaken to resolve these deficiencies and provide a timetable for the completion of the corrective actions. Failure to satisfactorily complete the corrective action in a timely matter may result in assessment of civil penalties and/or revocation of the Stormwater Certification issued for Waste Industries, Inc. on July 17, 1988. -Continued- 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 919-395-3900 • Fax 919-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr Gainey July 23, 1991 Page Two ------------- If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Ms. Alexis Finn or Mr. Dave Adkins at (919) 256-4161.

Peck Taste Industries P 4 'Pox 19026 Raleigh, N'C: 27619 RE: Waste Industries Corporation Wilmington, NC 28401 Dear David: When you called our office Friday, July 12, 19911 and told us that an inspection by the Division of Enviror►mental Management had found that the project was not in compliance with the site permit, I had no idea what could possibly be out of compliance. After review of my files, I can only guess what happened three years ago on the site plan approval process. This office hared a consultant, Mr. Henry Webster, to prepare site plan drawings and acquire all site plan approval, permits for the project. After the site Arlan was prepared, Mr. Webster submitted it for approval to the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development and received an approval letter dated February 17, 1988. As pact of that approval letter a comment was attached stating additional permits may be necessary from tither agencies. Mr. Webster noted at that time that he knew of no other permit required but would look into it. It appears that Mx. Webster did find an additional permit was required and prepared a drawing and obtained an approval setter dated June 7, 1988. At this point the project was nearly complete and a copy of the June 7, 1988, approval letter and a drawing was sent to my office from Mr. Webster with a note attached that reads "copy of storm water approval letter and drawing for your files." It appears due to the hate time in construction that this was thought to be part of the original site permit already obtained and that Mr. Webster was cleaning out his files. This office filed the letter and drawing with no additional action taken. p°o. box E385 garner. n.c. 27529 C9193 772-55E35 -T U L- 1 S- 9 1 M O N 1 4: S 5 A H H I S A R C H. I H C.
