May 9, 2019 Ms. Amy Chapman NCDEQ, Division of Water Resources 1617 MSC Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: NOV— 2019-PC-03 75 North Carolina Department of Transportation NCDWR Project No. 20071134 Ms. Chapman: Wright Brothers Construction Co Inc. is in receipt of the Notice of Violation letter written on May 7, 2019 and referenced above. Wright Brothers is committed to restoring the pre -project dimensions of the larger impoundment upon approval of the enclosed plan. Wright Brothers placed material at the site on 4/24/19 & 4/25/19 from the neighboring R2519B project. Wright Brothers would like to install a floating turbidity curtain around the area the material was placed and excavate the material back out, as noted on the enclosed aerial picture. We would access the site as noted on the drawing haul road. The material will be hauled to an approved site for reclamation per the NCDOT and NCDEQ standards. Wright Brothers will work with the NCDOT and NCDEQ to assure all necessary plan approvals are in place before work begins. Wright Brothers sincerely believed this site had a mining permit that allowed the acceptance of waste material. We received a copy of the permit and submitted it to the NCDOT as their standards. Wright Brothers failed to wait on confirmation of the site before placing material. We did stop hauling immediately upon the site visit with Mr. Barnett. While we can not undo the mistake, we will work in a continuous manner upon approval to rectify the problem. We are accepting of any guidance the NCDOT and NCDEQ can give us on improving the plan.
