Removal of Use
Dear Mr. Keeter:
On March 15, 2007, Lia Myott, Cynthia Van Der Wiele, and Karen Higgins from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) visited the subject property located south of Highway 158, approximately''/z mile west of
Poplar Creek Road in Vance County, North Carolina.
During the site inspection, the investigators observed and noted impacts to an unnamed tributary to Poplar
Creek, Class C, NSW Waters in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin. Sediment accumulations of 3 inches to 4
feet deep were observed in the stream for approximately 900 linear feet from the power line easement
near the Corporate Express stormwater pond to the power line easement on the west side of the Catholic
Church property. Immediately upstream from the former equipment crossing, the sediment accumulation
is greater than 4 feet. Downstream from the former equipment crossing to the Catholic Church property
boundary, the sediment accumulation ranges from 5 inches to 2 feet. On the Catholic Church property,
the sediment accumulation ranges from 3 to 8 inches.
Based on review of DWQ files, we have not identified any Pre-Construction Notification or any
authorization, permit, or 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality. As a result
of the site inspection and file review, the following violations are noted:
(1) Other Waste (In-stream Sediment)
The deposition of sediment in the stream represent violations of North Carolina stream standard Title 15A
NCAC 02B .0211 (3)(f), which states that 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;
