It is recommended that of the exempt activities, that the following be __.. monitored should such a program be implemented. 1. Activities conducted by the State a. New construction at UNC-Chapel Hill and the UNC landfill. b. N. G. Department of Transportation projects involving the upgrading of existing roads. 2. Activities conducted by persons having the power.of eminent domain. New construction of facilities and transmission lines. 3. Activities conducted by local governments Construction of new facilitees and observation of the County landfill. (Includes municipal, recreata~onal, and school system 'construction) 4. Activities within the corporate limits~of Hillsborough. S. Exempt activities - mining. emphasis on Chapel Hill gravel pits. X would estimate that the increased workload involved in such a monitoring program would be on the order of 15-20R. Such an increase in workload would place severe demands on the Erosion Control staff. At present staff and transportation limitations are such that effective monitoring of exempt activities would not be possible without a reduction in the effectiveness of the inspection and enforcement program on projects currently undex the divisions jurisdiction. Currently the staff is limited to priority assessment of ongoing projects. Low priority projects are inspected generally once per month. High priority projects may be visited twice per week or more.
