IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. S&EC completed a detailed delineation of the property May 10, 2002
and again on November 26, 2007. Todd Tu well (formerly with the USACE issued a
Jurisdicational Determination (JD) on September 17, 2002 (see attached Action ID 200221408).
On December 6, 2007, Mr. Monte Matthews (USACE) visited the site with S&EC to re-verify
the wetlands and streams for the purpose of re-authorizing the JD. This site visit revealed
impacts to a perennial channel, as well as an intermittent channel, without a section 404/401
permit; these impacts were associated with the construction of two separate sediment basins. On
February 26, 2008, the NC DWQ issued a Notice of Violation for the above documented reasons
(see attached NOV-2008-PC-0140). On March 27, 2008, the USACE also issued a letter
documenting the above violations (see attached Action ID 200801124). The applicant
voluntarily stopped all work within jurisdictional waters. S&EC has been engaged to prepare
and submit an "after-the-fact" application package for the impacts associated with the above
sediment basins, a sedimentation delineation and removal plan (submitted on May 25 2008) as
well as a stream restoration plan (to follow under separate cover).
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future permits are known to be required at this time.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:_ Impact #1: 145 linear feet of
permanent important/perennial stream channel impact and 0.004 acres of permanent wetland
impact for proposed road crossing;
Impact #2: 101 linear feet of permanent intermittent/unimportant stream channel impact and
0.003 acres of permanent wetland impact for proposed stormwater wet pond;
Impact #3: 168 linear feet of temporary important/perennial stream channel impact for
proposed sediment basin removal and stream restoration
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

VIh Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The applicant requested a
detailed delineation of streams and wetlands prior to site plan development in order to determine
the extent and location of streams and wetlands in the vicinity of the proposed road crossing.
The site plan has limited permanent impacts to one road crossing of an important/perennial
channel. Streams are not crossed multiple times by roads. The proposed road crossing is
necessary in order to access a useable portion of the uplands for development as well as
providing the needed internal connectivity required for emergency vehicle access.
The applicant, Ricky Spoon Builders, engaged a separate engineering firm to provide an overall
erosion control plan for the proposed development. This plan showed the installation of a
temporary sediment basin within "Stream Channel 2" (i.e. Impact #2) and a sediment pond
within "Stream Channel 1" (i.e. Impact #3) which were subsequently installed as shown on the
plans. Those plans were approved by the Division of Land Quality for the installation; therefore
the applicant did not think there were any issues relative to the sediment basin with respect to
wetland and stream locations.
The USACE has stated in recent meetings that the "Sediment Basin "1" on "Stream 2" will be
allowed to remain in place; however, the activity will need to be permitted. The USACE has
also stated that the sediment pond labeled "1" on "Stream 1" will need to be removed and the
stream channel restored. S&EC has been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to develop a
Sediment Delineation and Removal report for the stream channel above and below "Stormwater
Pond 1," the wetlands associated with "Stream 1" and the stream channel below "Sediment
Basin 1." S&EC was also requested to develop and provide the NC DWQ and the USACE with
a Stream Restoration plan for the removal of the sediment pond on "Stream 1." S&EC has also
been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to assist with site stabilization and erosion control
measures. These measures includes silt fences along the streams and wetlands in areas where
there is currently grading in upland areas as well as monitoring of the sediment basins to prevent
further sediment deposition to the stream channel below the basin.
The applicant is also aware of the regional conditions associated with the Nationwide Permits 18
& 29. With respect to minor discharges (Regional Conditions section 4.6) the impact to the
wetlands are associated with stormwater outfall devices as required by the NC DWQ. These
minor fills are not being used to create an upland area. With respect to residential development
Page 6 of 10
conditions (Regional Conditions section 4.9) the applicant does not anticipate any impacts to
streams or wetlands associated with the required stormwater facilities, there are no proposed
single-family recreation facilities, there are no 100 year floodplain limits identified on this
project and therefore, there are no permanent wetland or stream fills proposed within the
floodway and the stream classification for this project is Water Supply (WS) IV•Nutrient
Sensitive Waters (NSW) (i.e. not Outstanding Resource Waters or High Quality Waters).
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
S&EC believes that additional stream mitigation beyond the avoidance and minimization
of permanent impacts to perennial/important stream channels should not be required giygn
that the total permanent stream impacts are less than 150 linear feet Additionally, permanent impacts to wetlands is less than 1/1 01h acre therefore wetland mitigation should
not be required. If additional mitigation is required the applicant proposes to utilize EEP
Page 7 of 10
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at htlp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/yLtp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ? No
Page 8 of 10
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.

Yes ® No ?
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes N No ?
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No N
Page 9 of 10
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: We
have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality
Certification and Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water
Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that most residential subdivisions are
unlikely to cause cumulative impacts. This residential project does not meet any of the three
criteria of private projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts. This development is
relatively small in nature, has no commercial component associated with it, is within a primarily
residentially developed landscape and therefore, the utility infrastructure (i.e. water and
electricity) are already in place to service the proposed development. We anticipate that you will
advise us if a qualitative or quantitative impact analysis is required.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Size and Location of Property (waterbody, Highway name/number, town, etc.): The property is
located east of the intersection of NC 64 and US 15/501, north of Pittsboro, Chatham County, North
Carolina. The site is adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Roberson Creek, above headwaters, in the Cape
Fear River Basin.
Basis for Determination: The site contains wetlands and stream channels with indicators of ordinary
high water marks, located adjacent to an unnamed tributary of, above headwaters, in the Neuse River
Basin.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
There are waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on the above described property which we strongly suggest
should be delineated and surveyed. The surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will
make a final jurisdictional determination on your property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely
delineation of the wetlands. Once the consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will
review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the
Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey.
X The waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the Corps
jurisdiction have been explained to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described property which are subject to
the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the
date of this notification.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the
Army Permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A
permit is not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you

Dear Sir:
On February 13, 2007, Lauren Cobb and Natalie Landry from the Raleigh Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted a site inspection for a tract of
land located southeast of the intersection of US Hwy 64 and Hwy 151501 in Pittsboro,
Chatham County, North Carolina. The stream, on the site is an unnamed tributary (UT) to
the Roberson Creek, Class WS-1V NSW waters, in the Cape Fear River Basin, The site
visit and file review revealed that the subject project has an approved Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Plan and is covered by stormwater general permit NCG010000.
During the site visit, Ms. Cobb and Ms. Landry made the following observations:
• A stor water pond (Pond 1) was constructed within, approximately.1,208 linear
feet of stream channel (Stream 1) (see attached map).
• A sediment basin (Basin 1) was constructed within approximately 53 linear feet of
stream channel (Stream 2) (see attached map).
+ Sediment ranging from approximately 6-1.8 inches in depth was observed in
approximately 230 linear feet of stream channel (Stream 1) above Pond 1. r4.?ne?? )/,

k?gjylirces (or local delegated program) Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
for land disturbance of 1 acre or greater. Specifically, the general permit (NCG010000)
authorizes the discharge of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System in accordance with Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code
2H.0100.
Accordingly, the following observations and/or permit conditions violations (please see
the attached addendum for information about your permit) were noted during the
Division of Water Quality inspection:
During the inspection, a copy of the approved Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Plan was not observed on-site that available for review.
A rain gauge was not observed on the site at the ti7nle of inspection.

As a result of the site inspection, the following violations, detailed below, were noted:
(1) Removal of Best Use
(2) Failure to Secure a 401 Water Certification
(3) Other waste (In-stream sediment)
(4) Wetland Standard Violation
(5) Stonnwater General Permit - NCG010000 Violation
Item 1. Removal of Best Use
The construction of a stormwater pond and sediment basin in-line with streams represents
a water quality standard violation defined as removal of best usage.
Specifically, 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) requires that "The waters shall be suitable for
aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary
recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses
on either a short-term or long-term basis." Please see the Requested Response section for
details concerning how to achieve compliance at the site.
Item Ill. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification
A file review confirmed that a Pre-construction Notification has not been received by the
Division of Water Quality for this project and that a 401 Water Quality Certification has
not been issued. A Pre-Construction. Notification submitted to DWQ is required prior to

NCAC 2H.0500.
Item III. Other waste (In-stream sediment)
15A NCAC 02B.0211 (3)f
Oils; deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not
render the waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and
wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters
for any designated uses.
Item IV. Wetlands Standards Violation
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) no chemical, nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime 'of the wetland;
(D) The movement of aquatic fauna;
(F) Water levels or elevations.
Item V. Stormwater General Permit, NCG010000 Violation
A stormwater general permit (No. NCG01000) is issued upon the approval of an Erosion
and Sedimentation, Control Platt. The stormwater general permit authorizes the discharge
of stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System in accordance
with Title 15A North Carolina Code 211.0100. Your site is therefore subject to
NCG010000.
During the inspection, a copy of the approved Erosion and Sediment Control plan was
not on site and available for review as required by NCG010000 permit Part L Section A
(2). A rain gauge was not observed on the construction site as required by part I, Section

Notice of Violation Response
USACE Action ID 200801124
Chatham County, NC
Dear Ms. Witherspoon and Mr. Smith:
As requested in your February 26, 2008 Notice of Violation (NOV),.Soil &
Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) has been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to
prepare a Sediment Impact Delineation Report and Clean-up Plan for in-stream
sedimentation which has occurred within the referenced project site. In addition, further
discussions between S&EC, Ricky Spoon Builders, the US Army Corps of Engineers and
yourself has led to S&EC preparing this NOV response.
Within the February 26, 2008 NOV, the following violations were listed and identified:
1) Removal of Best Usage
2) Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification
3) Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
4) Wetland Standard Violation
5) Stormwater General Permit - NCG010000 Violation
The remainder of this letter will respond to each item individually; the original request
will be in italics followed by our response:
1. Documentation depicting all jurisdictional features (e.g. steams and wetlands). A
description and quantification of the impacts to those jurisdictional features and your
plans to avoid further stream and wetland area impacts on the site.
On August 28, 2002, Mr. Todd Tugwell, formerly with the USACE, issued a Notice
of Jurisdictional Determination (JD) for the jurisdictional streams and wetlands on the
northern portion of the subject property (see Action ID 200221408). This JD expired
Bellemont Point Phase II
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA
April 8, 2008
Project No. 6878.W7
in August of 2007.. S&EC was engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to re-verify the
previously issued JD, as well as gain USACE confirmation for the stream and
wetland. features on the recently added southern portion of the property.
On November 20, 2007, S&EC staff completed the wetland and stream delineation
for the additional tract of land to the south. During this site visit, S&EC personnel
discovered the above referenced violations; namely the stormwater pond identified as
"Stormwater Pond 1" and "Sediment Basin "1" in the NOV. Additionally, S&EC
staff also noted the sediment discharge in the stream above and below stormwater
pond ".l;" the wetlands above pond "1" as well as sediment below basin "1." Since
that time, both the USACE and the NC DWQ have been to the site and reviewed the
violation areas.
The USACE has stated in recent meetings that the "Sediment Basin "1" on "Stream
2" will be allowed to remain in place; however, the activity will need to be permitted.
The USACE has also stated that the.sediment pond labeled "1" on "Stream 1" will
need to be removed -and the stY•eam channel restored. To this end; S&EC has been
engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to prepare and subinit an after-the-fact application
package for the. temporary stream channel impacts to "Strewn 1," the temporary
sediment impacts to wetlands associated with "Stream 1" and the permanent and
,temporary stream. impacts to "Stream 2" on the subject property.
Me anticipate providing this `information to the NC DWQ and the USACE within the
next 60 days.
2. Stream Restoration Plan-Please explain how you plan to restore the pattern, profile
and dimension of the impacted stream channels to include the removal of the
Storm'water pond, sediment basin, and associated fill. The streambed must be
restored -to the original profile and the stream banks must be stabilized.
As.:outlined in the previous response, S&EC has been engaged by Ricky Spoon
Builders' to provide the NC DWQ and the USACE with a Stream Restoration plan for
"Stream 1," and an "after-the-fact" permit request for the stream impacts to "Stream
2."
This plan and the "after-the-fact" permit request are currently being developed and
will be submitted to both the USACE and the NC DWQ for approval under separate
cover within the next 60 days.
3. Stream and Wetland Restoration Plan (sediment impacts) - Sediment impacts to the
streams and wetlands onsite and downstream of the site must be removed. As a part
of this plan; you should provide the amount (depth) of material that has been
deposited in the streams and wetlands. This information should be depicted on a map
you provide. It is recommended that you use hand labor (buckets, shovels and'
wheelbarrows) to remove deposited sediment from the stream channel. The sediment
should be removed from the channel, taken to high ground away from the stream

channel and stabilized. Also, the plan must address the measures that will be used
for temporary stabilizations/sediment control while this work is under way.
As discussed previously, S&EC has been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to
develop a Sediment Delineation and Removal reportfor the stream channel above and
below "Stormwater Pond 1," the wetlands associated with "Stream 1" and the stream
channel below "Sediment Basin 1." This report is currently being developed and will
be submitted to both the USACE and the NC DWQ for approval under separate cover
within the next 60 days.
4. Permit Application - If you wish for any impacts to remain in place, you must contact
the U.S. Army Corps or Engineers (USACE) for information on the type(s) of permit
required. Depending on the type of permits USACE requires, application for a 401
Water Quality Certification to DWQ will also he required. Please note that sediment
impacts to streams are not permittable.
S&EC has been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to prepare and submit an ",after-
the-fact" permit request for the "Sediment Basin 1" that is currently within "Stream
S&EC will also be preparing an application request for the. temporary stream
impacts associated with "Stormwater Pond" within "Stream 1".as well as any .
additional proposed impacts for the future development. This application package is
currently.being prepared and will be submitted to both the NC DWQ.and the USAGE
within the next 60 days.
The February 26, 2008 NOV letter also requested additional information with respect to
the general stormwater permit (NCG010000). The remainder of this letter will respond to
each item individually; the original request will be in italics followed by our response:
1.. The events that resulted in your non-compliance with the above-mentioned
stormwater permit conditions.
The applicant, Ricky Spoon Builders, engaged a separate.•engineering firm to
provide an overall erosion control plan for the proposed development. This plan
showed the installation of a temporary sediment basin within "Stream Channel 1"
which was subsequently installed as shown on the plans. Those plans were
approved by the Division of Land Quality for the installation; therefore the
applicant did not think there were any issues relative to the sediment basin with
respect to wetland and stream locations.
2. When you anticipate being in full compliance with the stormwater permit.
Information describing your compliance with the minimum monitoring and
reporting requirements as requested above for each phase of the project.
Specifically, you must provide the Raleigh Regional Office copies of all
monitoring records within S days of receipt of this notice. This information must
include 3 months oj'monitoring records through to the date of your written - ,

response to this letter.
The applicant has stated that the box that the sediment and erosion control plans,
reports and monitoring records were kept in on site was vandalized and removed
'from the property (i.e. stolen).. Therefore, all of the requested data in this letter is
unavailable.; Additionally, Ricky Spoon Builders has not received any violations
from'the Division of. Land Quality as it relates to the erosion control measures or
off--site sedimentation documented in this letter.
3.. Evidence that temporary erosion control measures are in place and sediment
pond outlet structures are stabilized.
S&EC has been engaged by Ricky Spoon Builders to assist with site stabilization
and erosion control measures.. These measures includes silt fences along the
streams. and wetlands. in areas where there is currently grading in upland areas as
well as monitoring of the sediment basins to prevent further sediment deposition
to the stream channel below the basin.
Ve.. anticipate--that this. addresses all of the DWQ's concerns. If you have. any further
questions or any additional explanation is needed, please don't hesitate to call.

Dear Mr. Spoon:
This refers to a recent site meeting between Mr. Monte Matthews of the U.S Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps), and Mr. Sean Clark on December 6, 2007, on property you are developing at
the intersection of Hwy 151501 and US 64 Bypass in Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina.
The purpose of the site meeting was to verify the presence of jurisdictional waters within recently
developed stormwater basins.
The December 2007 site visit revealed that.approximately 200-300 linear feet of
jurisdictional stream channel had been impacted without a section 404 permit during the
construction of 2 stormwater basins. This activity is considered a violation of Section 301 of the
Clean Water Act. At the time of the site visit, Mr. Clark indicated that no further work would occur
in waters of the U.S. without a DA permit. The Corps agrees that this is a necessary step that would
help in the overall remediation process. It is understood that additional impacts may be required for
complete construction ofthe subdivision and that these impacts will be addressed during the
permitting process.
Please provide a formal response to this letter indicating when the violation was
completed, the reasons for the violation, the amount of stream channel impacted by the violation,
and the remediation steps proposed. Removal of the fill and restoration of the streams or
verification of an After-the-Fact permit would act as remediation of the Section 301 violation.
Submit your response on or before April 30, 2008, and note that any permit application must
include all impacts associated with your project.
Please be reminded that no new impacts within wetlands or waters other than restoration
of the site can occur on your property until this matter is resolved. Such work, without
authorization by a DA permit, may result in referral of this matter to the U.S. Attorney for
appropriate action.
Please contact Mr. Matthews at telephone [phone] ext 30, if you have any
questions regarding this letter or the actions required on your part to resolve this violation.
Sincerely,

Sediment Impact Delineation Report and Clean-up Plan
Chatham County, NC
Dear Ms. Witherspoon:
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) has been engaged by Ricky Spoon
Builders to prepare a Sediment Impact Delineation Report and Clean-up Plan for stream
and wetland buffer sediment impacts which occurred within the referenced project site.
These actions are in response to observations made by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) and the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) as sited in the Notice of
Violation (NOV-2008-PC-0140) dated February 22, 2008 and the Cease and Desist Letter
(Action ID #200801124) dated March, 27 2008.
The purpose of this,letter is to summarize our findings regarding sediment deposition that
has occurred onsite and describe in detail our plan for its clean-up and proper disposal.
Site Description
The project site is located south of Highway 64 and east of Highway 15-501 in Pittsboro,
NC. A vicinity map is shown on Sheet 1.
Field Efforts and Onsite Observations
Our observations and evaluations were focused on sediment deposition within a portion
of previously delineated site, streams, and buffers (non-regulated). These areas were
impacted by sedimentation from site grading operations of upland areas. S&EC
Bellemont Point May 23, 2008
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Project No. 6878.D1
performed an onsite inspection on April 3, 2008. While onsite we observed the
characteristics of the site (including current grading and stabilization operations), the
surrounding area, verified surface and channel flow conditions, observed wetland, stream,
and buffer sediment deposition, and existing property boundaries.
During our site visits, the impacted areas were traversed and the extent and severity of the
impacts was observed. While onsite, we identified, delineated (with sequentially lettered
and numbered flags), and GPS located the approximate boundaries of the flagged
sediment impacts.
From our site observations, sediment appears to have entered the impacted wetlands,
streams and buffers by the following primary means: 1) at various locations onsite where
existing Erosion and Sedimentation (E&S) devices were overwhelmed, and 2) a lack of
vegetative cover.
A total of 0.24 acres (10,477 square feet) of Category 1 and 0.023 acres (1022.21 square
feet) of Category 2 impacts were observed. This sediment deposition varied from a skim
layer up to thicknesses of approximately twelve (12) inches. Areas of sediment
accumulation in the streams, buffers, and wetlands were flagged in the field and are
shown on the attached site maps (Sheets 1 through 6). Photos representative of our
observations are also provided for reference.
Observed Sediment Deposition
Sediment deposition observed onsite varies considerably within the wetlands, streams,
and buffers. For ease of evaluations we have divided observed sediment impacts into one
of two categories:
Category 1- Sediment deposition in excess of approximately two (2) inches in
thickness which will require removal and proper disposal.
Category 2 - Sediment deposition less than approximately two (2) inches in
thickness which will remain in place.
NOTE: Based on experience with similar sediment deposition and subsequent
clean-up operations, it is our opinion that deposition layers less than
approximately two (2) inches in thickness should remain in place. Clean-up of
thin layers can result in damage to the underlying soils which will exceed the
temporary nature of localized thin layered deposition.
These impacted areas have been identified on the attached maps (Sheets 1 through 6).
Proposed Clean-up Operations
This clean-up plan has been prepared for the sole purpose of providing a systematic
approach to remove and/or stabilize in place sediment deposited into the wetland, stream,
and buffers.

Bellemont Point
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA
May 23, 2008
Project No. 6878.D 1
Based on our site observations and experience with similar projects, S&EC proposes the
following steps be performed to remove the existing sediment impacts onsite and reduce
the potential for future sediment impacts:
Step 1 Repair. as necessary and augment existing site Erosion and Sediment
(E&S) control measures including silt fence, existing sediment traps,
sediment basins, and temporary stabilization. measures. All
additional E&S control measures and repairs should be performed /
installed in accordance with NCDENR approved standards and the
approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (by others).
Temporary and permanent seeding measures should be applied at the
earliest opportunity across exposed (non-actively graded) portions of
the site.
All existing and new E&S devices should be inspected and cleaned
out (sediment removed from upstream of the devices) as required.
Typically the frequency of inspection is weekly, and after each
rainfall event of 0.5 inches (or greater).
Step 2 To the extent, required by DWQ, manually remove excess sediment
in the wetlands (Category 1) as identified on the plan sheets.
Sediment will be excavated to a depth that reaches the approximate
natural grade (as determined by S&EC personnel).
All wetland excavation will be performed by hand. Excavation will
be performed with manual labor using shovels (flat head or "sharp
shooter") and 5 gallon buckets. Caution will be applied so as not to
disturb the original wetland surface.
Existing easements or site trails and roads will be used for vehicular
and mechanized equipment access to assist in mass sediment
removal. Where heavy equipment is used every effort will be made
to reduce the impact to the existing vegetation. No thinning or
clearing of vegetation will be performed. Delineated wetland areas
will not be trafficked with motorized equipment to perform clean-up
operations.
Recovered sediment will be transported away from any channel,
wetland, or ponds and disposed of properly (in accordance with State
and local regulations).
Step 3 Impacted wetland areas onsite will be seeded with a native wetland
seed mix following clean-up. The seed mix should include a
minimum of four species with a wetland indicator status of FAC,
FACW or OBL.
Species may include but are not limited to:
• Virginia Wild Rye (Elynms virginicus)
Page 3 of 4
Bellemont Point May 23, 2008
Sofl & Environmental Consultants, PA Project No. 6878.D1
• Soft Rush (Juncus effusus)
• Sedge (Carex lurida, lupulina, or vulpinoidea)
• Woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus)
• Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
• Lizard's Tail (Saururus cernuus)
Acceptable wetland/ buffer seed mixes are commercially available
that include many more buffer species and are designed for specific
site situations. Preference should be given to southeastern seed
sources and/or NC ecotype seeds in order to ensure seeds are adapted
to the local climate. Seed should be applied at a rate of 15 pounds
per acre (or as directed by the seed supplier) and covered with light
straw mulch.
Implementation Schedule
Clean-up and stabilization work should be executed immediately following the review
and approval of this plan by the USACE and DWQ. Based on experience with similar
projects, we anticipate the clean-up work can be completed (barring any inclement
weather) within 60 days of the approval of this plan. A notification should be submitted
to DWQ and the USACE following the completion of site work.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding these
recommendations.
Sincerely,
SOIL & ENVIRO
