I have reviewed the drawings submitted for the August 19, 2009 Technical Advisory Committee meeting and the continents from the Alternative Transportation review have been satisfactorily addressed. We request that all responses to our comments be provided in writing. Failure to provide written responses may result in delay of the review process. It is critical that this office be made aware of all modification made on the plans being re- submitted, particularly if any such changes are considered "new" or fall outside of our previous reviews. Please provide revised plans indicating all revisions. Please notify us of any changes and specifically state any changes, including changes resulting from Plan Commission, Special Studies or other committee meetings. The Department of Community Services reserves the right to provide additional comments based on subsequent reviews. If you have questions, please contact me at 571 -2417.

Thompson [mailto: Robert. Thompson @hamiltoncounty.in.gov] Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 1:14 PM To: 'gsnelling @snellingeng.com'; 'gjacoby @BDMD.com' Cc: 'johnst @acespower.com'; 'ronm @acespower.com' Subject: SWPPP Greg Snelling, Aces Power Marketing, BDMD As you know Rule 5 and the Clean Water Act requires all projects to address post- construction water quality for all discharges leaving a development. In Carmel this threshold is 1 /4 ac. in unincorporated Hamilton County the size of the development is 1 ac. Since this land has not been annexed yet the 1 ac. threshold takes precedent. Despite my concerns that you can actually construct this without exceeding the 1 ac threshold I will let you and the owner decide if this can be accomplished. Below are the conditions of my approval as well as the potential pitfalls of going over the 1 ac. limit. The financial risks certainly are onerous as compared to adding a water quality component to the project, but that is the owner's decision. 1. With the certification by the engineer's stamped plans that this project will not exceed 1 ac in land disturbances thereby bypassing the requirement of post construction water quality I will approve the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan with the following conditions: a. A precon is still required with the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office program manager and drainage inspector and the City of Carmel. Prior to this precon the construction limits as shown on the plans and certified by the engineer shall be staked out and erosion control measures shall be in place. This statement must be on the Plans in Bold. b. At anytime during construction the earth disturbing activities exceed 1 acre as determined by the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office's inspector a Stop Work Order for ALL activities will be issued. At this time the owner or his representative will have to resubmit plans for the project to the Hamilton County Surveyor's Office and Obtain a Rule 5 permit From IDEM and our office. The plans will include an approvable BMP to address post construction water quality. During this work stoppage no work will be permitted anywhere i on site by any trades. Also the owner will be liable for any fines and penalties associated with the violation of our Ordinance for discharging without a permit, (Rule 5), see or Ordinance at http: /www.co.hamilton.in.us /upload/images /survey /docs /Ordinance No 5- 09 -05 -B.pdf c. During the project the construction limits staking must be left in place until soil is seeded and stabilized and is subject to our office's verification. If these are acceptable to the Owners let me know and I will send you the SWPPP Approval form.

There are 23 trees being removed and only 11 replanted in an area that Angie has identified as a GAS LINE easement and a graded swale that is receiving an erosion blanket (C3.02). A The site demolition plans shows many trees marked as "to be removed Instead, should this read "to be relocated The existing trees should be investigated for moving on site if that is a possibility. You will need to have written permission from the Easement instrument holder in order plant there. There are areas that are listed as being composed of structural soils, but no graphic to show their construction. Structural soils should only be used under pavement, otherwise use un- compacted soil volumes to support tree and plant life.
