The outlet pipe was movable when stood upon. The plan shows there is a riser. Only trash rack was visible. The riser has become disconnected with trash rack or rusted out. This condition can cause dam failure if not repaired. The outlet cannot extend into the water without the riser support. An engineer should be consulted regarding riser repairs. Submit repair plan to this office. The pond had vegetation over the entire surtace area. This condition suggests that the pond is not as deep as designed. The pond is designed to be 6.5' from normal pool elevation. Sediment and organic debris has likely filled the pond to less that 4'. Remove vegetation from pond area. Consult with engineer regarding excavation of pond. Trees and bushes have overgrown the pond banks.

Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violations and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before January 4, 1999. 2. The curb outlet swales must be restored to the permitted condition. If this is no longer desired, then the runoff must be directed into an engineered system, either the existing pond, or a new pond. Revised plans demonstrating how the runoff will get to the pond, revised calculations, application form, supplement, and application fee of $385.00 will be required. . 3. Immediately provide the required maintenance to bring the pond into compliance, and establish a monthly inspection program. Please check the pond depth, and verify that 6.5' exists below the permanent pool. Your permit requires that you keep written records of the maintenance activities. Please submit copies of those records to this Office. 4. Provide a revised application, supplement, calculations, and fee to account for the increased impervious area due to the deletion of the planted islands. You may also elect to go back and construct the planted islands, as permitted.

The report summarizes the findings of the inspection. Our records indicate that neither the required Certification nor recorded deed restrictions has not been received. Additionally, the following conditions were observed during the inspection and are in violation of the Certification: 1. Two additional swales have been added at the first road intersection which are not shown on the approved plan. Operation of the stormwater system prior to submission of the required certification and the above conditions are violations of 15A NCAC 2H.1003 and are subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A including the assessment of civil and criminal penalties. Failure to provide the required Engineer's Certification and a "plan of action" which designates the date by which the above items will be permanently resolved, prior to August 12, 1994, will result in the initiation of appropriate enforcement action by this Office. That action may include recommendations for the assessment of penalties and/or revocation of the Certification.
