Inspection Summary:
Ponds A, B and C were reinspected. Pond A: The vegetation on the side slopes of the pond had been removed.
There was still erosion observed on the forebay berm. The skimmer was still broken because it did not appear
to be attached to the outlet structure.; Pond B:Vegetation had been installed on the side slopes. It appeared
dead and will require overseeding.; Pond C: There were still cattails growing in the pond and vegetation was still
growing in the riser.
Appropriate maintenance must be conducted on all components of the permitted stormwater control measures
per the conditions of the permit and/or Stormwater Design Manual to ensure proper operation and to meet
approved design criteria. This includes proper vegetation management, repair and stabilization of any eroded
areas and any necessary repair of the outlet structure. The permit was issued on July 3, 2012 and expired on
July 2, 2020. A permit renewal application has not been submitted at least 180 days prior to this expiration date.
This needs to occur as soon as possible. A completed Designer's Certification must be submitted for the file.
There is now a new owner of this permit and the permit will need to be transferred to the new owner after the
compliance issues are addressed. Please go to the following link to initiate this process:
