TIP B-5604
Perquimans County
Dear Mr. Jennings:
On August 6, 20l 8, Garcy Ward of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Washington
Regional Office conducted an on-site inspection of project TIP B-5604, the replacement of Bridge No. 19
over Mill Creek on US 17 Business, in Perquimans County. In addition to NCDWR staff, Kyle Barnes
with the US Army Corps of Engineers and Paul Williams and Andy Blankenship with NC DOT were also
present during the inspection and their time and assistance is greatly appreciated.
During the inspection, a review of the NCGO 10000 inspection forms revealed they were not being properly
completed. The inspection forms stated that there were no Stormwater Discharge Outfalls (SDO's) on the
project, and there was no record of them being inspected as required despite there being eight SDO's on
the project.
The actions described above led to the following violation(s):
1.) 401 WQC conditions violation:

(WQC) No. 4132 and 4133, NCDWR project number 20180118. Condition 8 of WQC Nos. 4132 and
4133 states the following:
