This letter is in response to a Notice of Inspection -NON-COMPLIANCE STATUS
dated September 10, 2007 for the above referenced site. A site visit on
September 4, 2007 by Pat C. Durrett of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality indicated several noncompliance items within the two wet detention
ponds at the referenced site. Specific non -compliant items stated in the
September 10, 2007 Notice of Inspection -NON-COMPLIANCE STATUS include:
1. No signed copy of the Engineers certification is available in the files.
2. All slopes are not grassed with permanent vegetation.
3. Excessive erosion has resulted in the side slopes of the stormwater
ponds to be steeper than 3:1.
4. The stormwater ponds are excessively overgrown with weeds.
5. Heavy sediment is evident in the forebay and deep pools of the
stormwater ponds.
6. The berm between the forebay and deep pool of each stormwater
pond has been eroded through.
7. The ponds appear to have been used as a trash dump.
8. The outlet pipe of eastern stormwater pond has been covered with
sediment.
9. The inlet and outlet structure of the western pond could not be found
due to excessive vegetative growth.
10. Car or truck parts have been stored on the embankment of the western
pond.
11. Maintenance records were not available for inspection.

In response to the condition of the two stormwater ponds, Retention Pond
Services, Inc. was hired by Seeco Properties, LLC to restore each pond to the
original permitted specifications. Restoration activities included:
1. Removal of all trash, automotive parts and excessive vegetative
growth from each pond.
2. Excavated excessive soil within the forebays and deep pools of each
pond.
3. Removed sediment and debris from the inlet and outlet structures of
each pond.
4. Reconstructed the forebays within each pond and reinforced with rip
rap for stabilization.
5. Re -graded the embankments of each pond to 3:1 slopes where
possible.
6. Re -vegetated the embankments of each pond with HydroSeed and
sod.
Based on a review of the original approved specifications and the work
conducted by Retention Pond Services, Inc., it appears that the two wet
detention ponds have generally been restored to the original permitted
conditions.
The additional items to bring the subject property into compliance status have
been included with this submittal package. These additional items include the
following completed forms:
• Signed Engineers certification
• Stormwater permit ownership change form
• Stormwater renewal application
• Updated wet detention basin operation and maintenance agreement

COMMENTS: (each NO answer should have a comment)
During the inspection the following items were noted and require immediate attention:
East Pond
1 A signed copy of the Engineer's certification is not in the files as required This should be provided at once
2 The pond is overgrown with weeds Due to the extremely dry conditions the entire pond could be seen and the condition is
very poor. Excessive erosion has taken place and the berm between the forebav and main pond has eroded through.
3. Heavy sediment is evident in the forebav as well as excessive weed growth.
4 It appears that the pond has been used as a trash dump.
5. The outlet pipe has been covered with sediment.
6 This pond should be cleaned out mowed and returned to approved specifications.
West Pond
1 This pond is overgrown with weeds and appears to have eroded so that you cannot determine where the forebav is or the main
pond.
2. Car or truck parts have been stored on the embankment
3 Due to excessive weed growth neither the inlet or outlet structure could be found.
4 This pond also should be cleaned out mowed and returned to original approved design
Maintenance records were not available for inspection.
This permit expires on 9/12/07 and no renewal request has been received to date.
