Hi Mr. Sewell,

Our expectations are below and correspond to your questions:

1.The contractor was told verbally on the day of the inspection and was aware of the problem. It was their

intention to correct it before leaving that day.
2.I do not know if it has been corrected. The inspection was a few weeks ago and I have not been back to the site.

3.The expectations are that the Town will be informed enough to ask the questions of the contractors and/or

inspectors—‘I was informed by the State that you had a deficiency on site, have you corrected it?’ Nothing more
than that. Should there be some type of egregious violations, the expectations would be greater. This deficiency
1

is not unusual nor is it unexpected considering they severity of rain we have had lately, however; it should have
been immediately corrected and the tendency in all types of construction is to delay repair of sediment and
erosion control measures because they take time away from completing pay items. If the Town knows, then
Town can help close the information loop and ask the questions of those involved.

As the holder of the 401 permit, I wanted to make sure you knew and I expect the repair has probably been made by
now. The written records were well done, and I appreciate that. Also, please know that any egregious deficiency or
violation would be written up on formal letterhead and sent certified mail, an email is just to keep everyone in the loop.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,
Donna Hood

Mr. Sewell,

th
On January 8, 2016 I performed an inspection as relates to the 401 and construction stormwater permits on the bridge
replacement in Wadesboro. At the time of the inspection the following deficiency was found:
1.As pertains to certification condition 2 (a)—properly maintains all sediment and erosion control measures—

approaching the project from Highway 74, on the right hand side, measures had not been repaired after the last
rain event. Waddles were overwhelmed and the swale carrying stormwater had not be stabilized. Please see
attached pictures.

Site monitoring had been performed and documented as required.
Other permit requirements were being performed as required.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Donna Hood
