Project Specifics, Inspections and Permit Requirements
A copy of the project plans and specification manual are kept on site in the mailbox near the entrance of the multiuse path and cross country trail. Electronic copies may be viewed from the Town’s website at Specific requirements for the Erosion and Sediment Control Plans may be found in the project plans on sheets EC-1A to EC-8.
The HCHHS-MUP (U-4726DE) is a federally funded project administered by the NCDOT. As such, the project is subject to NCDOT design standards, construction authorization and construction oversite. Jamie Crissman is NCDOT inspector who will conduct regular site inspections to monitor the work.
NCDOT projects are subject to the review and approval of the NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for erosion control, including the placement of silt fencing and similar devices. The approved erosion control permit for the HCHHS-MUP (U-4726DE) may be viewed at
Christian Harbby, Project Inspector with Summit Engineering, is on site every weekday (and weekends if work is scheduled with Carrboro Public Works) and compiles inspection reports. Inspection records are kept on site in the mailbox near the entrance to the multiuse path.
Inspections are required for every 1/2" of rainfall. This inspection is conducted by the Project Inspector, (Summit Engineering) and the contractor’s Site Superintendent (Fred Smith), who is a Certified, Level II, Erosion & Sediment Control/Stormwater Supervisor.
UNC staff will also conduct regular site inspections during construction and will maintain the HCHHS-MUP once construction is completed.
The project is also subject to the Jordan Lake Water Supply Watershed Riparian Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0267). The Town received an Authorization Certificate with additional conditions (DWQ Project # 12-0497) from NCDENR in 2012.
