104 <br /> Conditions of Approval <br /> Revised 8/06/14 <br /> setbacks, water quality buffers, absorption field sites, flood plains, protected wetlands, <br /> undisturbed areas,trees to be saved,etc. <br /> • PERFORMANCE: The Ordinance is performance oriented. If it is determined that <br /> sediment damage (sediment lost off site or into streams, water bodies, or buffers) is <br /> occurring despite proper implementation and maintenance of the approved plan, it is <br /> your responsibility to provide additional sediment trapping and/or erosion control <br /> measures. Although the plan has been carefully reviewed, unexpected difficulties may <br /> be inevitable, and you must resolve them. <br /> • RESTORATION OF AREAS DAMAGED BY SEDIMENT: You will be required to <br /> restore waters and land affected if you fail to prevent sediment damage resulting from <br /> this activity. This is in addition to any other penalty or injunctive relief. <br /> • CHANGES TO THE PLANS OR IN OWNERSHIP: If significant changes are required <br /> to the approved plan, then you must have your designer make revisions and submit <br /> copies to the Division upon request. If the site plan is revised in any way that affects <br /> erosion and sediment control, you must inform us and submit revised plans. If <br /> ownership of this project changes and responsibility is transferred to another person, <br /> you or the new owner must inform us in writing with pertinent information such as <br /> contact name, address, telephone and fax numbers. Otherwise, Broyhill Wiles Inc. will <br /> be considered responsible. If you did not supply this office with the names and <br /> addresses of all members of your partnership you are responsible for supplying them <br /> with copies of this letter and any other correspondence from this office related to this <br /> project. <br /> • COMPLETION OF DISTURBANCE IN AS SHORT A TIME AS POSSIBLE: <br /> Sediment-trapping devices are not 100% effective in removing soil particles from runoff. <br /> Therefore, the Ordinance requires that all land-disturbing activities be planned and <br /> conducted to limit exposure to the shortest feasible time. To accomplish this requirement <br /> construction must be continuous and uninterrupted until completion and permanent <br /> stabilization. If construction is interrupted or delayed or the project is abandoned, the <br /> site must be stabilized with adequate ground cover. <br /> • PROVIDE YOUR CONTRACTORS WITH A COPY OF THE APPROVED PLAN: <br /> Make sure your contractor has a copy of the approved erosion control plan, has <br /> considered it in their bid, and is prepared to proactively implement the plan. If phases of <br /> the plan will be conducted by different subcontractors, Broyhill Wiles Inc. must ensure <br /> that their efforts are coordinated so that the approved plan is followed. For example: if <br /> the clearing and installation of the sediment trapping devices will be done by different <br /> contractors, the clearing must not get ahead of construction of the devices. As stated in <br /> the approved plan,the initial clearing must be limited to only that area necessary to gain <br /> access to and install the erosion and sediment control devices. <br /> S:\5_Erosion Control and Water Quality\Erosion Control and Water Quality\Jobs by year\New Work <br /> 18\Orange\The Lodges at Chapel Hill\The Lodges at Chapel Hill COA.docx 5 <br />
