SEDIMENT AND STORMWATER PLAN APPROVAL

Tracking No.: 2014-026 Addendum 1

Issued To: Jacob Spruance, Contracting Officer Representative Wilmington VAMC 1601 Kirkwood Highway Wilmington, DE 19805

February 26, 2016

Dear Mr. Spruance, Your addendum to the approved plans for Wilmington VAMC Parking Garage showing two temporary parking lots, as submitted by your authorized agent, Kyle Cyr, of Guidon Design, Inc., have been reviewed and evaluated regarding the Sediment and Stormwater Management requirements of this Division and are approved with conditions (see attached).

Approval of a Sediment and Stormwater Plan does not grant or imply a right to discharge stormwater runoff. The owner/developer is responsible for acquiring any and all agreements, easements, etc., necessary to comply with State drainage and other applicable laws. Effective July 1, 2004, all State and Federal projects will require inspection services by an approved Certified Construction Reviewer.

This plan approval pertains only to compliance with the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations, effective January 1, 2014, and the current version of the Delaware Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook. Please understand that the approval of this plan does not relieve you from complying with any and all federal, state, county, or municipal laws and regulations.

We provide technical assistance, environmental education, and training to those we regulate. If we may be of any assistance to you, regarding the sediment and stormwater specifications of this project, please contact us at the address and number listed above.

Sincerely, Elaine Z. Webb, P.E.

Engineer IV cc: Jamie Rutherford, Program Manager II

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

NOTIFICATION

1) Notify the DNREC Sediment and Stormwater Management Section of your intention to begin construction five (5) days prior to commencing. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of the approved plan.

INSPECTIONS

2) Regular on-site inspections of your project will be conducted by DNREC personnel to monitor the performance of the approved plan to determine if additional erosion and sediment controls are necessary.

3) Keep available on-site, during all phases of construction activity, a copy of the approved Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan.

GRADING

4) At any location where sediment laden runoff may exit the property, perimeter controls shall be installed to prevent sediment from being transported off-site.

5) Any sediment transported off-site to roads or road rights-of-way including ditches shall be removed.

Any damage to ditches shall be repaired and stabilized to original condition.

6) Grading shall not impair surface drainage, create an erosion hazard, or create a source of sediment to any adjacent watercourse or property owner.

7) Local grading requirements may supplement these grading conditions.

CHANGES TO THE APPROVED PLAN

8) This project is to be undertaken in accordance with the plans submitted and as approved. If changes are necessary at any time during the completion of the project, submit revised plans, prior to further construction, to this office at the above address to receive a supplemental approval.

PERMANENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT COMPONENT

9) Failure to implement the permanent stormwater management practices as mentioned herein constitutes a violation of the conditions of this plan approval; it may result in the suspension or revocation of building permits or grading permits issued by the local jurisdiction; and it may result in legal action by the DNREC to bring the site into compliance with the approved Sediment and Stormwater Management Plan and the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations.
