Dominion Energy takes environmental compliance very seriously and immediately notified the Division of Water Resources, Raleigh Regional Office upon discovery of this discharge, and took immediate action to remedy this issue. The discharge information and corrective actions are as follows: 11/13/2018 — Spread 8 — Following a 2.50 inch rain event, ACP conducted post storm event NPDES inspections where several areas of erosion and sediment controls adjacent to stream SNRH004, wetland WNRH005F and WHLF003F were observed overtopped with sediment. The result was a discharge and deposition of sediment within these Waters of the United States. Material deposited within the resources was removed and brought back within the approved upland workspace, timber mat bridge was cleaned on the stream crossing, and erosion controls were repaired and reinforced. Measures to prevent this from reoccurring included installing additional erosion controls at the resources and increasing the amount of water bars on the slope above the impacted area.
