Action Id. SAW-2019-02059 County: Guilford U.S.G.S. Quad: NC -Browns Summit
NOTIFICATION OF PERMIT NONCOMPLIANCE
Responsible Party: SL Reedy Fork, LLC
Attn: Holden Sabato
Address: 195 Morristown Road
Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
Property Size (acres) —158.5 Nearest Town Greensboro
Nearest Waterway UT to Reedy For River Basin Cape Fear
USGS HUC 03030002 Coordinates 36.188448,-79.713195
Location description: The project area is located on the west side of Summit Avenue, approximately 0.3 mile south of its
intersection with Brown Summit Road, at 5955 Summit Avenue, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.
Description of Activity: This letter is the result of a visit to Your property on 4/26/2022, where the extent of the permit non-
compliance in waters of the US was determined. The permit non-compliance located on your property include the following:
1) Deposited runoff sediment, in some cases several inches thick, was found within the streams and wetlands within
Permitted impact areas Wl-W3 and Sl-S2. We understand that much of the unstable sediment in these areas is the
result of activities related to a City of Greensboro water line installation along Summit Avenue. However, there was
evidence of sediment entering Stream CH 100 and Wetlands WL 1000 and 1100 between authorized impact sites from
the SL Reedy Fork, LLC construction site, including some areas with deposition of construction run-off between 4
and 8 inches thick;
2) Sections of stream channel and adjacent wetlands, one just below Impact S4 and another approximately 220 feet east
of Impact W5 (see attached marked -up plansheet and pictures) are nearly full of sediment, and appears to have had
shredded leaves scattered over the top, perhaps in an effort to conceal the issue. This sediment deposition continues
downstream for at least several hundred feet;
3) Per Permit Special Condition 5, groundwater base flow below the authorized impact limits at Impacts W4 and S4/W5
must be maintained ner the filtered trench drains as shown on Permit Figure 6: there was no field -based evidence that
these features were installed as required.
Applicable Law(s): ® Section 301 (Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1311)
❑ Section 10 (Rivers and Harbors Act, 33 USC 403)
Enforcement Type: El Unauthorized Activity
❑X Permit Non -Compliance
You are hereby notified that the above -described work is not in compliance with the Department of the Army (DA) permit issued to
you on 1/21/2022. Any additional work in waters or wetlands in non-compliance with this permit may be considered an intentional
violation of federal law.
We hereby request you take the following actions to resolve this matter:
Within 30 days of the date of this correspondence,
a. Based on emails sent between NCDWR and Mr. Doug Keesee, it is or understanding that all sediment and erosion
control items listed by NCDWR, including removal of sediment from streams and wetlands, has been completed.
Please provide labeled pictures showing this completed work, ensuring that areas referenced by items 1 and 2 above
are resolved;
b. Address item 3 above. If these filtered trench drains have been installed, please provide labeled pictures showing their
outlets into the wetland/stream at the authorized limits of Impacts W4 and S4/W5. If these features have not been
installed, please provide a timeline for their installation;
c. Provide an as -built survey showing the current farthest (most downstream) extents of the toe of slope (including any
silt fence or associated rip rap/rock outlets) in the vicinity of permitted Impacts W4, S4/W5, and W6, overlaid on the
Corps approved Wetland/stream delineation.
Failure to comply with this request may result in referral of this case to the United States Attorney. Violations of the Clean Water Act
can result in administrative penalties, civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day of violation, criminal fines or imprisonment.
If there are any questions regarding this notification or the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please contact David E. Bailey at
