The Town requires developers to post performance bond for land disturbance greater than an acre and also for installing stormwater control <br /> measures.The text in Section 2.18.1 below,specifies Orange County bond requirement.This means the developer will be posting a bond with <br /> Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill.Developers will not be happy about it. <br /> 2. The Town's illicit discharge ordinance allow us to issue a STOP WORK ORDER.Do we need cordination with Orange County in situation where <br /> there is illicit discharge on a contruction site inorder to issue a STOP WORK ORDER? <br /> 2.18.1 Generally <br /> (A) Before commencement of any Land-Disturbina Activity in excess of the thresholds as <br /> defined in the Orange County Watershed Matrix Table (Table 4.2.10 of this Ordinance), <br /> staAiAg a:qFeateF 1haR 20,000 SqUaFe feet, EIF OFeM 18-1 1-,--0 squaFe feet it WithrA <br /> ,the owner or his/her 4w4y <br /> appeil;ted agewFinancially Responsible Party shall obtain a Land Disturbing Permit <br /> (LDP)from the Erosion Control Officer.

Apologies in advance for the additional work,but we wanted to ensure <br /> your inclusion in our impending text amendments to the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance(UDO). In follow up to Pat's <br /> notice to your office below,sent back in July 2021,we've since increased the scoping of the proposed text amendments to incorporate the <br /> state's most current Model Ordinances for all things E&SC and Stormwater,as well as the recently adopted 2021 Neuse-Tar Pamlico <br /> Rules. Frankly,this important LIDO update is long overdue. Attached for your use are: <br /> 1. a Word file of the complete LIDO,showing all proposed text amendments in TRACK CHANGES; <br /> 2. a PDF export of ONLY the affected pages within the LIDO(145 pages total); <br /> 3. a list of all the affected LIDO sections. <br /> We hope to hold the required public hearing for these proposed LIDO text amendments at the June 7,2022 BOCC meeting. So as to <br /> meet that schedule and make agenda for the associated Planning Board meeting on May 4,2022,we kindly ask that you provide any <br /> comments that the Town of Chapel Hill may have by 5pm on April 22 2022(next Friday). Sorry for the somewhat short turn-around,but <br /> alas we're at the mercy of the necessary long-lead public processes. <br /> Thanks in advance for your input. <br /> Regards, <br /> Christopher]. Sandt, P.E. <br /> Staff Engineer <br />
