Inspection Summary.
Ponds A, B and C were reinspected. Pond A: Corrective actions have occurred since the previous inspection in
regards to repair of erosion on the forebay berm, the removal of a sediment plume in the permanent pond and
the repair of the skimmer. Additional permanent groundcover was also observed. There were bare slopes noted
adjacent to the northern outfall. There were also bare slopes with gully eroson adjacent to and uphill of the
eastern outfall. The aforementioned bare slopes will need to be regraded/stabilized with permanent
groundcover. The forebay berm had bare slopes which needed to be stabilized with groundcover. Riprap had
been dislodged with the liner exposed. The riprap will need replacement.;Pond B: The vegetation on the lower
slopes appeared dead and will need overseeding. Baffles and a skimmer should be installed because houses
are being developed upslope of this Pond; Pond C: There were still cattails growing in the pond and vegetation
was still growing in the riser. It is recommended to remove the silt fence which is around the drop inlet near this
Pond.
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, and repair and stabilization of any
eroded areas. 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.
