Ben,
After talking further with Anneliese I feel that the additional silt fencing along the stream that
was not already in the EC plans does NOT need to be installed. Let’s just use coir fiber
matting on the bare sections of stream back. I am going to send my email out tomorrow with
the rest of our comments, but wanted to get this info to you ahead of it in case they are
mobilizing to install.
Call me if you have any questions
Thanks,
Jon

Jon,
Attached is the preliminary incident report from Conti. We are still waiting for them to
submit lessons learned and plans for moving forward to prevent this from happening
again.

Ben,

Thank you for the update. I am currently writing up my report and requirements to
restore the impacted areas. When do you anticipate Conti submitting the incident
report?

Jon,
Wanted to get you the survey data for the area impacted. Page 1 of the document
shows the full extents of the wetland impacts outside of the project permit, which
totals 0.25 acres. Page 2 shows the impacts outside of the NCDOT ROW/easements on
private property, totaling 0.12 acres. I am still waiting for the incident report from
Conti. I will provide that information once received. Let me know if you need anything
else.
Cheers,
Ben

Jon,

Thank you for the report. As you already stated, we will be looking for an update once
the full scope of the impacts is known, as well as the plan of action to remedy the
situation.

Jon,
This afternoon, 5/12/2023, I was meeting with a property owner on Holiday Dr. I
observed where the clearing and grubbing operation had recently gone outside of the
permitted LOD for the wetland impacts for the project. I have included a couple
pictures below and a quick markup of the area impacted on the permit plan sheet. I
have stopped all work for clearing and grubbing being conducted for the project with
this operation until we can complete a full review of the impacts next week. Please feel
free to reach out to the project team to with any questions.
Cheers,
Ben
