Please provide a response, directly to this correspondence, no later than Tuesday, June 25th. The response should
include why it has taken more than a week for the deficiencies to be corrected. After reviewing the response, NCDWR
will determine if an NOV should be issued.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for the compliance report, Nikki. The initial compliance report was received on June 7, 2019 with a follow-up
report on June 13, 2019. The follow-up report highlights numerous deficiencies that have not been corrected. I would
like a detailed explanation, in writing, from the contractor stating why the deficiencies have not been corrected.
Please be mindful that the 401 WQC requires protection of downstream water quality standards and requires the
applicant to ensure that surface waters are not degraded (15A NCAC 02H .0506) and any violation may result in a Notice
of Violation.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good afternoon to you both —
Here is the report of progress at the Mebane Bypass (A section) for your review/files. They are still under a suspension
of work order and are focusing their efforts on clean up and repair. As I mentioned last week, I was unable to visit the B
section (we just ran out of time and daylight) but I do know there were losses there as well (currently being addressed).
I have impressed upon them the need to stage seed, finish slopes/grading, permanent seed (where possible) and split up
the flow of stormwater so it is not all draining to one outlet/device. We also discussed the need for better
communication between the equipment operators and the foremen/superintendents on the project so that errors in

judgement don't continue to occur (i.e. cutting a ditch to drain the roadway without thinking about where the water
goes).
It is my hope they will make significant progress this week as we have a few days of good weather.
I'll keep you posted and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday (Dave, sorry we're gonna miss you!)
Thank you all
Nikki
