Director May 1, 2013 John E. Skvarla, III Secretary Subject: NOTICE OF INSPECTION Permit No. SW7091203 Beaufort County ABC Chocowinity Store Beaufort County On April 24, 2013, Mr. Samir Dumpor and Mr. Scott Vinson of the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and Mr. Shelton Sullivan of the Central Office of the DWQ inspected the Beaufort County ABC Chocowinity Store development in Chocowinity, Beaufort County, to determine compliance with Stormwater Management Permit Number SW7091203, which was issued on February 1, 2010. The DWQ site inspection revealed that except for the issues listed below, the project is in substantial compliance with the approved permit. Please see attached Inspection report also. The issues mention above were noted at the Bioretention Cell number 1 (south side of the driveway) and involve the following: • A relatively small sinkhole is observed within the bioretention cell #1 which is detrimental to the intended function of said bioretention cell; • Some construction material (debris) was observed within the sinkhole ,leading us to believe that it was an old drop inlet or a catch basin; To resolve the above issues we recommend you to investigate the sinkhole, clean out the construction material, fill the sinkhole with appropriate media (as per stormwater permit requirements) and restore the bioretention cell #1 to its original and approved condition. This Office requests that you respond to this letter in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice. Your response should be sent to this office at the letterhead address. Your response should provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the above issue and a time frame for completion of those actions.

Site found to be in relatively good condition except for a sinkhole in the bioretention cell number 1. The sinkhole is relatively small in size with some construction material observed within sinkhole leading us to believe that it was old catch basin or drop inlet. Since the Presence of a sinkhole in the bioretention cell is detrimental to its function, the sinkhole should be investigated, the remaining constructiion material removed, sinkhole filled by appropriate media and the bioretention cell restored to original, permitted condition.
