'34 (This device would be more effective than what had been installed previously.) and; (2) take steps to improve the quality of groundcover for disturbed areas . This letter was not a Notice of Violation. A deadline, October 2, 2000 was given to complete the two items mentioned above. An inspection made on October 3, 2000 determined that neither improvements to the sediment trap nor improvements to groundcover had been made. I phoned Mr. Diehl and told him that enforcement action would be taken this week (Oct. 2-6) if improvements to the sediment trap and groundcover were not improved. I received a call from Mr. Diehl's contractor who told me that he hoped to be at Mr. Diehl's property within the next few days. On October 4, 20001 was instructed to send Mr. Diehl a Notice of Violation. He was instructed that in order to bring into compliance the following would need to be completed by October 13, 2000: (1). Install the sediment trap as shown on the sediment control plan ,(2) Take steps to improve the quality of groundcover for disturbed areas at the site Mr. Diehl was informed by the October 4, 2000 Notice of Violation letter that he would be liable for a fine of $5000.00 a day for every day the site is in violation beginning Sept. 15, 2000 if the site was not brought into compliance by October 13, 2000. In accordance with G.S. IA-1, rule 4, Mr. Diehl was informed of the violation by means of Certified Mail. A photocopy of the Postal Receipt for Certified Mail and the Return Receipt are included with the memo to document that the Notice of Violation was received by Mr. Diehl. A copy of the sedimentation and erosion control ordinance section for Notice of Violation and general statute section are included as well. On the morning of October 5, 2000 I met with Ellie Allen, Mike Ellington Grading, at site to discuss work needed to bring the site into compliance. Instead of installing the silt fence type sediment trap shown on the erosion control plan, it was decided to use a conventional excavated sediment trap with stone filter and silt fence baffles. Storm runoff from the disturbed slopes on the site would drain through this device. I requested the installation of a diversion ditch for the purpose of directing runoff coming from the south side of the disturbed area into the upper end of the basin where it would have to filter through the trap. Later in the afternoon of October 5, 20001 revisited the site. Soil preparation was being done in advance of seeding and improvements to the sediment trap were being made. On October 6d', 20001 made two inspections of the site. By the second visit seeding and mulching work to stabilize disturbed areas was almost complete. Some. improvements needed for the sediment trap remained to be done. October 9, 2000. Received two messages from the contractor. I met with Mr. Diehl and Ellie Allen, Mike Ellington Grading, at the site. I asked for several minor adjustments to the sediment trap.. Disturbed areas have been seeded and mulched.
