Mr. Conner,
I wanted to make you aware that I conducted an inspection of the North Fork of the Swannanoa River yesterday
afternoon. The attached photo (IMG_1314) shows the pond at stormwater outfall #1 was recently drained to remove
and replace the gravels around the riser pipe. I observed a significant amount of petroleum sheen floating on the
remaining water within the pond. I met with the regional supervisor for the stormwater program this morning to discuss
the situation.
We both agree that it would be prudent to deploy and maintain oil -absorbent booms within the stormwater pond. I will
need you to provide a response indicating when the booms will be deployed. I also observed fresh sediment just below
the stormwater outfall (see IMG_1310). I will need you to provide a response as to how the pond water was removed
and the method of disposal. You can also reach me at [phone] (office) or [phone] (cell).
