September 4, 2008 Mr. Aaron Briggs 19054 Vimy Ridge Road Alexander, AR 72002 NPDES Permit No.: ARR150000, Sioux Trail Subdivision Lot Owner Dear Mr. Briggs: On August 22, 2008, I performed a routine compliance inspection of the above referenced construction site in response to a complaint. The complaint alleged that silt and sediment was running off the construction site and onto an adjacent property. The inspection was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The inspection did find issues that will require corrective action on the part of the permit holder. Additionally, it was also revealed that the primary problem at this construction site is your lot at the entrance to the subdivision. Because this lot is part of a larger common plan, it is subject to the stormwater rules. Mr. Zachary T. Watson, District 9 Field Inspector noted this in correspondence to you dated July 25, 2007 (copy enclosed). This inspection revealed the complaint to be valid. The following violations were noted: 1. The construction site was not posted as required by Part I, Section B, paragraph 7e of the permit. 2. The stormwater pollution prevention plan was not onsite as required by Part II, Section B, paragraph 1b of the

permit. 3. Inspections are not being conducted every 14 days or after a half inch rain event as required by Part II, Section

A, paragraph 4e of the permit. There were no records on site. 4. Erosion control measures are not being properly maintained. Silt fencing was down and in need of repair and

the small settling basin at the entrance to the property has failed. The permit in Part II, Section B, paragraph 17 requires all systems of control to be properly operated and maintained at all times.

5. Stabilization measures were not initiated as soon as practical in portions of the site where construction

activities have temporarily or permanently ceased, but in no case more than 14 days after the construction activity in that portion of the site has temporarily or permanently ceased; this is a violation of Part II Section A: 4.b.i.A. of the permit. Your lot has not been stabilized and it has been more than a year since Mr. Watson conducted his inspection of your letter.

6. Silt and sediment getting off site and onto the neighboring property and to the waters of the state in violation of

A.C.A. § 8-4-217. The above items require your immediate attention. Please submit a written response to these findings to the Water Division Enforcement Section of this Department when the violations have been corrected. This response should contain detailed documentation describing the course of action taken to correct the items noted. This corrective action should be completed as soon as possible, and the written response is due by September 25, 2008.

Mr. Aaron Briggs, Lot Owner, Sioux Trail Subdivision September 4, 2008
