RE: Caterpillar Access Road comments WETLA*73 AB M
Ms. Lucas:
In response to your comments received, we have revised the enclosed plans and
we offer the following responses below. Original comments are shown in
BOLD.
1. Please provide a BMP Supplement Form and O&M Agreement for each
proposed level spreader.
A BMP Supplement Form, along with O&M Agreement has been provided
for each proposed BMP. Please note that the level spreader for BMP #1 has
already been installed on the site. The bypass design that we have shown
within the flared end section is a retrofit that we are proposing. Upon
approval, we will issue the contractor to make the corrections in the field.
Since BMP #2 has not been constructed, the level spreader and bypass
arrangement for has been designed to conform to NCDENR's requirments at
the time that it will be constructed.
*Note. The downstream condition of level spreader #2 is heavily wooded and
essentially is the same as the downstream condition at the location of level
spreader # 1 (photo included).
If you have any questions during your review, please do not hesitate to give me a
call at 919.233.8091. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,

Operation and Maintenance Agreement
I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important maintenance procedures:
- Immediately after the filter strip is established, any newly planted vegetation
will be watered twice weekly if needed until the plants become established
(commonly six weeks).
- Once a year, the filter strip will be reseeded to maintain a dense growth of
vegetation
- Stable groundcover will be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the
sediment load to the vegetation.
- Two to three times a year, grass filter strips will be mowed and the clippings
harvested to promote the growth of thick vegetation with optimum pollutant
removal efficiency. Turf grass should not be cut shorter than 3 to 5 inches and
may be allowed to grow as tall as 12 inches depending on aesthetic requirements
(NIPC,1993). Forested filter strips do not require this type of maintenance.
- Once a year, the soil will be aerated if necessary.
- Once a year, soil pH will be tested and lime will be added if necessary.
After the filter strip is established, it will be inspected quarterly and within 24 hours
after every storm event greater than 1.0 inch (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County).
Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will be
available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
