buffers, wetlands, and streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey Creek, unnamed tributary
to the Yadkin River, and into a private pond.
5. Failure to retain a buffer zone or sufficient width along a lake, trout water or natural
watercourse (25-foot minimum for trout waters) in which to confine visible siltation by
natural or artificial means within the 25 percent of that portion of the buffer zone nearest the
land -disturbing activity. G.S. 113A-57(1).
Sediment has not been retained within the approved limits of disturbance and has impacted
buffers, wetlands, and streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey Creek, unnamed tributary
to the Yadkin River, and into a private pond.
6. Failure to maintain on graded slopes and fills, an angle which can be retained by vegetative
cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures. G.S. 113A-57(2)
Graded slopes and fills were observed to have heavy rilling and sloughing with no vegetative
cover or other erosion control devices, structures or means of retaining sediment contributing
to the transport of sediment outside the approved limits of disturbance, impacting buffers,
wetlands, and streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey Creek, unnamed tributary to the
Yadkin River, and into a private pond.
7. Failure to install and maintain all temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation
control measures as required by the approved plan or any provision of the Act, and rules
adopted thereunder, during or after the development of a site. 15A NCAC 4B .0113.
Temporary diversion ditches, berms, and basins are overwhelmed with sediment. Sediment
has been transported outside of the approved limits of disturbance into buffers, wetlands, and
streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey Creek, unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River,
and into a private pond.
The violations of the Construction Stormwater Permit NCG 010000 that were found are:
1. Failure to develop or adhere to the erosion and sedimentation control plan. The approved
erosion and sedimentation control plan is considered a condition of Construction Stormwater
Permit NCG 010000, Part I.

with North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 130A, Article 9 — Solid Waste Management,
and rules governing the disposal of solid waste (15A NCAC 1313). Areas dedicated for
managing building material and land clearing waste shall be at least 50 feet away from storm
drain inlets and surface waters unless it can be shown that no other alternatives are
reasonably available
Temporary diversion ditches, berms, and basins are overwhelmed with sediment. This has
caused perimeter silt fence and outlets, as well as inlet protection devices, to become
overwhelmed with sediment. Sediment has been transported outside the approved limits of
disturbance, impacting buffers, wetlands, and streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey
Creek, unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River, and into a private pond.
3. Failure to install and maintain BMPs and control measures, NCG 010000 Part II, Section
G.2-3
The Permittee shall install and maintain all temporary and permanent E&SC measures as
required by this permit and the approved E&SC plan. If self -inspections required by this
permit identify a need for maintenance of control measures, modifications or additions to
control measures, or corrective actions to control sediment or other pollutants, these actions
shall be performed as soon as possible considering adverse weather and site conditions.
Temporary diversion ditches, berms, and basins are overwhelmed with sediment. This has
caused perimeter silt fence and outlets, as well as inlet protection devices, to become
overwhelmed with sediment. Sediment has been transported outside the approved limits of
disturbance, impacting buffers, wetlands, and streams of an unnamed tributary of Turkey
Creek, unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River, and into a private pond.
To correct these violations, you must:
1. Remove all sediment from drainage swales, channels, buffers, streams, wetlands, and anywhere
outside the approved limits of disturbance throughout the entirety of the site. Obtain permission
from the owner of the impacted private pond and remove all sediment deposited within. After
removal, a turbidity curtain shall be installed as a protective measure until such time DEMLR
approves its removal.
2. Install and maintain all sedimentation and erosion control measures as shown on the approved
plan. If the plan is insufficient to restrain and control sediment, a revision may be necessary.
Note the approved plan includes ground cover stabilization compliance within the timeframe
guidelines specified in NCGO1.
3. Provide adequate permanent ground cover on all areas where development has been completed
according to the time limits in the approved plan. Please note that merely planting grass seed
does not satisfy the requirements of "vegetative cover" or of "ground cover sufficient to restrain
erosion." These requirements are not satisfied until an adequate cover of grass or other ground

10. Additional This project was inspected on July 6, 2022; the project has received numerous complaints and
Corrective inquiries regarding the loss of sediment and impacts to buffers, streams, wetlands, and a
Actions and private pond. Construction activity was on -going during the inspection. Sediment loss was
Comments: observed in a multitude of areas throughout both Phase I and Phase 11 outside the approved
limits of disturbance (LOD), including in buffers, wetland areas, in many areas of the streams
throughout the site, and in the private pond off -site. Sediment and erosion control devices
such as silt fence, silt fence outlets, inlet protection, rock checks, and sediment basins were
overwhelmed. It appeared as though many have needed maintenance for quite some time.
Many of the slopes throughout the sight appear to be greater than an angle that can be retained
by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion -control devices or structures; rills and slides
were observed throughout the site. Most of the site has little to no vegetation or temporary
stabilization measures. It also appears that the current sediment and erosion control plan may
not be adequate to control

sediment loss. The following items were discussed in the field and require immediate attention
and correction:
1) Remove any/all sediment outside the approved LOD, including but not limited to drainage
swales and channels, buffers, streams, wetlands, and the private pond. A remediation and
restoration plan for all impacts to permitted 401 and 404 areas will need to be submitted to the
Division of Water Resources, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and the Division of
Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources for review. An environmental consultant should
examine and advise on the removal of sediment from buffers, streams, and wetland areas.
2) All perimeter measures need to be installed and maintained in conjunction with the removal
of all sediment outside the LOD. In addition, NCGO1 groundcover stabilization requirements
shall be adhered to and all exposed slopes, within the timeframes given of completion of any
phase of grading, need to be planted or otherwise provided with temporary or permanent
ground cover, devices, or structures sufficient to restrain erosion.
3) Restructure and re -stabilize all diversion ditches site wide.
4) Clean and maintain all inlet protection devices site wide.
Clean and repair the outlet on the west side of array 5.
5) Clean the drain inlet area, remove sediment from both sides of the silt fence, and
re -stabilize the slopes at array 12.
6) Remove sediment from outside the LOD at several locations near basin 404; clean out the
basin, install new baffles, and repair/restore the outlet protection measures and devices.
7) Remove sediment from outside the LOD in area 403; repair/restore the protection outlet.
8) Clean the inlet protection device at wetland crossing 1.
9) Clean the road outlet, install a new stone silt fence outlet, and remove all sediment from the
buffer area between array 11 and 12.
10) Repair the silt fence and outlets along the outside of array 13; remove all sediment from
outside the LOD and in the buffer.
11) Clean sediment from the silt fence and outlet areas at stream crossing 2; remove all
sediment and stone from the stream.
12) Remove all sediment from the buffer and stream at the south side of array 18;
repair/reinstall silt fence and outlets, and vegetatively stabilize.
13) Repair and re -stabilize the drainage area behind basin 504; remove all sediment outside
the LOD, in the buffer and stream.
14) Remove sediment from the silt fence and outlets at the south side of array 14; remove all
sediment from outside the LOD, in the buffer and stream.
