RE: Erosion & Sediment Control Plan Technical Plan Review Plan Revision Date: 1/28/26 North Main Street Storm Sewer Replacement Cty.#: 2-25-2-88 Bangor Borough Northampton County

Dear Applicant:

The Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan you submitted to the District for review has been studied and the adequacy of control has been evaluated.

The District's personnel have given careful consideration to the changes in land use proposed, the site limitations and the controls outlined. The District has determined the erosion and sedimentation control to be adequate for normal weather conditions. Failure to begin earth disturbance activities within four years of the date of this letter will require a resubmission and review by the District.

The Conservation District reviews this plan solely to determine whether it is adequate to satisfy the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§102.1 et seq., the erosion control regulations of the PA Department of Environmental Protection. By a determination that the plan is adequate to meet those requirements, neither the Conservation District nor the County assumes any responsibility for the implementation of the plan or the proper construction and operation of the facilities contained in the plan.

District comments on this revised plan are as follows:

1. The revised plan should incorporate the rumble pad depicted within the limit of disturbance (LOD).

According to the E&SPC Manual, all BMPs should be located within the LOD.

2. Please contact the Conservation District at least 7 days prior to beginning construction to schedule a pre-construction meeting with the contractor.

A copy of the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan must be available at the site of the earth disturbance activities.

Your Conservation District stands ready to assist you in solving your conservation problems. If you have any questions regarding this or other projects, please contact the Northampton County Conservation District at the above address or telephone number.
