Mr. Fine,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning regarding the repairs made on -site.
Based on the photos attached, effort has been made to retrieve sedimentation from jurisdictional features and improve
ground stabilization at Permit Sites 4 and 6. Upgradient E&S measures in these areas have also been repaired. Based on
this documented progress, I agree with lifting the current violation and scheduling a follow-up inspection.
*It should be noted that all future sediment losses reported on -site should be properly documented with date stamped
photos, corresponding station locations and estimated quantities of sediment loss.
Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Mr. Conchilla,
Please see the attached written response on October 20th detailing actions to be taken for offsite sediment removal at
Permit Sites 4 and 6 to include removal of sediment greater than 1" in depth by hand tools with native seeding and
mulching of disturbed areas. The removal of offsite sediment at these locations began October 16th and were
completed on October 20th. Please also see the attached photos as requested of the removal activities and work
performed at Sites 4 and 6. An estimated 6 CY of sediment has been removed from Permit Site 4 and 4 CY were
removed from Permit Site 6. Further removal and remedial activities may also take place per your guidance. As
discussed this morning, please confirm that the Notice of Violation may be lifted today with the intent to review the
project at your earliest convenience.

Mr. Fine,
Thanks for the information below.
On 10/20/22 I received the email (attached) stating that sediment had been removed from the stream located at Permit
Site 4.
In response to that email, removal details and photo documentation were requested regarding those activities
conducted by the contractor.
At this time, that information has not been provided.
As listed in the NOV, sediment loss has been identified at Permit Site 6.
A written plan was requested regarding the proposed removal activities and stabilization efforts located in the
jurisdictional wetland and stream.
That information has not been provided.
I appreciate the stabilization efforts completed on -site.
However, the information requested at Permit Site 4 and 6 is still outstanding.
When that information is provided to accurately document those removal and stabilization efforts, a follow up visit can
be scheduled.
Let me know what questions you have.

Mr. Conchilla,
As requested, please see the attached photos of the progress made to permit sites 4 & 6. Significant progress has been
made since the compliance review on October 13th and NCDOT continues to work with our contractor to promptly
identify and correct site repairs as needed throughout the project. Considering this progress made, we would request
that NCDWR conduct a follow up compliance review on Tuesday October 26th or at the earliest convenience.
If you have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to reach out.

Mr. Fine,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and providing updates on the site repairs.
Providing photo documentation with stamped collection dates for the repairs listed in the NOV will greatly assist in
compliance review and progress made. Current conditions at the remaining permit sites (1-12) should be evaluated and
documented to identify potential concerns prior to the next site inspection.
Let me know if I can provide further assistance at this time.
