SPECIAL CONDITIONS (THESE CONDITIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ADDITION TO THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS) *All the soil erosion control measures will be installed as the site is cleared and maintained throughout construction. NOTE: The construction sequence that states. the initial limits of clearing does not include piping of the ditch thru the property at STA 21+30 or the wetland crossing at STA. 33+30. Silt fence shall be placed along the top of the existing ditch bank and 5 feet off the wetland crossing to protect the areas until the final culverts are installed. Temporary wetland swamp mats shall be used to cross the wetlands located at STA 33+30 for timbering -related construction. Activities west of the wetland and the ditch may not be crossed until the culvert is installed. Access to the property west of the main ditch must be obtained by using the second construction entrance off Chadwick Avenue until the culvert is installed. Clear the developable project area as necessary to access and excavate the sediment basins and the temporary diversion ditches and permanent bypass ditches in that order. The diversion ditches must be excavated prior to excavation of the bypass ditches. Excavation of the permanent bypass ditches must occur between storm events and in such a manner that disturbed runoff does not leave the site. This may require excavation of the ditch without connection and stabilization of the side slopes prior to excavating the connection. Install wattles with flocculants thru the ditch and check dams at the end. Temporary diversion ditch 1 for sediment basin 1 must be excavated prior to filling the existing west flowing ditch thru the property. Once the diversion has been excavated the coir mesh baffles must be installed on the downstream side of the proposed connection point of the permanent bypass ditches then the bypass ditch can be excavated between storm event. Erosion control measures include 2 construction entrance, Silt fences and liners on either end of the R/W pipe, silt fences, inlet and outlet protection, concrete washouts, 4 jute lined diversion ditches, 3 excelsior lined by-pass swales of which #1 and #2 will have with coir baffles with polyacrylamides and check dams and bypass ditch #3 will have coir 12 inch wattles with polyacrylamides and a check dam, and immediate construction and stabilization of the infiltration basin and the 2 sediment basins, their slopes and outlet structures with Faircloth skimmers. The Faircloth skimmer in pond 1 will be a 4-inch skimmer with a 2.9-inch orifice and the Faircloth skimmer in Pond #2 will be a 4-inch skimmer with a 3.5-inch orifice. Additional erosion control measures may be required to retain sediment onsite throughout construction. "Revision #1 approved 12/20/19 includes the original erosion control mentioned previously and adds 2.1 acres for R/W work with silt fences, inlet protection and 12 inch wattles of which one must be shifted to both ends of the disturbed area. (Continued) - Page Two Permit# GP #12-19 Revision #2 LNDP 19-00074 **Revision #2 approved 3/2/21 changes ownership from Grayson Park Development, LLC to DR Horton, Inc. *Silt fence stakes must be steel and will be placed six feet apart without wire reinforcement and extra strength silt fence or eight feet apart with wire reinforcement. Silt fence is not allowed as inlet protection. *If any phase of grading ceases for more than 15 working days, the site will be temporarily stabilized. *All slopes must be stabilized within 21 calendar days of any phase of activity. *No sediment shall leave the site. *If these measures fail to adequately control erosion, more restrictive measures will be required. *If plan revisions are necessary you must submit a copy to this office for approval prior to any field changes. *Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved source including a separate construction site with an active land disturbing permit.

Or, until the financially responsible party has conveyed ownership or control of the tract of land for which the erosion and sedimentation control plan has been approved and the agency that approved the plan has been notified. If the financially responsible party has conveyed ownership of control of the tract of land for which the erosion and sedimentation control plan has been approved, the new owner's or person in control shall conduct and document inspections quarterly until the establishment of permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion. The person who performs the inspections shall maintain and make available a record of the inspection at the site of the land disturbing activity until permanent ground cover has been established.
