ABCC - COAB SWPP MEETING - 1Alex,
Thank you for the quick response.
The signed letter does not address Taylor & White taking responsibility for the change in current erosion control plan. Agreeing with the contractor does not release COAB from following
the current signed engineering plan.
According to the Individual Environmental Resource Permit Tech Staff Report and the current permit (4-031-38437-4) on file with the SJRM, under Exhibit A, par #4, I don’t have a choice.
If you can convince the Department to allow you to do “Best Management Practice” and not go by the current signed engineering plans, I will relent.
I have been informed an audit by the Department is scheduled next month for our MS4 permit and we do not want any issues if they decide to do site visits.
For my records I will need a letter stating any changes to the Permit on the SJRWMD letterhead and a revised erosion control engineering plan drawing of pages #6 and #7.
Please advise of you intentions.
Thank You

Good afternoon Mr. Lyon,
Please find attached a signed and sealed letter respectfully requesting your approval to allow Barco Duval Engineering, Inc. to postpone the installation of silt fence in the areas
outlined below (Linkside SWMF-2 and Dutton Island Drive) until necessary due to construction activities.
Please let us know if this is acceptable.
Thanks,

I will require a signed letter from the Engineer of record to change anything deviating from the approved plan as shown. If these FDEP requirements are not met ASAP I will have no choice
but halt all dirt work till they are satisfied. We have been very lenient as of this date. Nothing should have been done the last two weeks till all silt fence was properly in place
and inspected by COAB per the permit.
If you require further information please call me.
Thanks

Subject: ABCC - COAB SWPP MEETING
At my meeting with Mark Lyon today , he stated the following reasons for his no answers & Barco’s rebuttal was as follows:
#2 – ALL silt fence shown on the plans is not installed - Barco sees no need to install silt fence along Dutton Island Drive until construction of Dutton Island Drive begins, Barco
sees no reason to install silt fence at Linkside Pond # 2 until after it is expanded as long as we maintain a 50 ft undisturbed grassed area along top of bank, Barco sees no reason
to install silt fence along Sherman’s Creek that will be destroyed by the retaining wall contractor & Barco sees no reason to install silt fence along the balance of Sherman’s Creek
now that it has been designated “A Ditch” by SJRWMD We will maintain a 50 ft undisturbed grassed area along the “ditch” for as long as possible.
#3 – All disturbed areas are not properly stabilized. Barco can not be expected to stabilize every disturbed area unless it creates a turbid off site discharge. We currently have a series
of ditches connecting the existing Ponds together & are attemting to direct all water flow to one of those ditches/ponds.
#5 – All Construction entrances were not build when report was written but the Dutton Island Entrance has now been constructed. Barco does not intent to build a construction entrance
at the club house until we start construction. The entrance Realco is using is an existing asphalt driveway.
#7 –Existing Inlets along Dutton Island Drive are unprotected. Barco sees no need to protect the inlets until we start construction.
#8 – Storm Water Ponds & conveyance systems are not stabilized & free of sediments. Barco has not stabilized the dewatering ditches but has installed 2 ea Silt Barriers & a concrete
check dam just before the outfall ditch enters Sherman’s Creek. To date all dewatering has been by gravity lowering of the water in the existing ponds & has created no turbidity.
#10 – Sediment traps have not been installed. Barco maintains none have been needed other than as described in the previous answer.
#11 – All stockpiles are not adequately stabilized . Barco agreed to place silt fence on the creek side of the one Cart Path Concrete Stockpile just south of the existing maintenance
bridgewithin the 50 ft buffer.
Doug – We need Alex to concur with Barco’s position on Silt fence along LS#2 , Sherman’s Creek & Dutton Island Drive. As long as it is shown on the drawings, COAB expects it to happen.
