I met with site representatives Kirk Youngblood (Project Superintendent) and Randy Allen (General Superintendent) of The Ridgemont Company and their consultant, Matthew Martin (Owner of EMG, LLC) at the construction trailer to conduct an opening conference. I presented my credentials to the site representatives and informed them that a random stormwater inspection was being performed to determine compliance with the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) program and the Construction General Permit (CGP), in accordance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). After discussing the purpose and procedures for the inspection, the site representatives accompanied me for the duration of the inspection. The generation of this report is based on information supplied by The Ridgemont Company representatives (the permittee), observations made by the inspector, and records and reports maintained by the permittee, the state of Texas, and the U.S. EPA. FACILITY DESCRIPTION The Village at Gateway is a commercial construction site operated by the Ridgemont Company and is regulated under two separate permits (The Village at Gateway - Public (TCEQ Permit Number TXR1597RW) and The Village at Gateway - Private (TCEQ Permit Number TXR1594RW)). The Village at Gateway - Public is the focus of this inspection report and covers the sites vacant lots, green space, pond, and drainage channels. The Village at Gateway - Public is located near the northwest corner of West U.S. Highway 80 and Gateway Boulevard in Forney, Texas (denoted in Aerial Image 1 below) with coordinates in the vicinity of Latitude 3244'27.9"North, Longitude 9624'57.8"West. The project totals 56.55 acres and discharges into Kings Creek (Segment #0818C) in the City of Forney's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). 2 The Ridgemont Company / Village at Gateway - Public - Commercial Permit #: TXR1597RW Inspection Date: 2/5/2026 Aerial Image 1: The Village at Gateway - Public commercial construction site. The site is located within the approximate blue boundary lines depicted above (near the northwest corner of West U.S. Highway 80 and Gateway Boulevard in Forney, TX). Section II - OBSERVATIONS The following points of discussion are derived from on-site visual observations on February 5, 2026: I observed the Construction Site Notice (CSN) near the entrance off Gateway Boulevard. The construction trailer was located near the entrance off US Highway 80 (Lot 8). The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was not available for review in the trailer at the time of inspection. However, Matthew Martin (Consultant) provided printed copies of the site maps at the beginning of the inspection and emailed a digital copy of the remaining SWPPP documentation at the conclusion of the inspection as described in Section IV of this report. I observed that the site was mostly stabilized with minimal exposed sediment. In areas where exposed sediment was present, BMPs (erosion control blanket and silt fence) were installed (Appendix 1, Photos 1-2). Rock check dams were observed in the drainage channels (Appendix 1, Photo 3). The detention pond (previously a sediment retention basin) at the southeast corner of the site had stabilized slopes, silt fence, and a rock check dam installed (Appendix 1, Photo 4). The site representatives advised that the drop inlets and box culvers on-site connect to the pond. Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN No areas of concern were observed during the February 5, 2026, Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI). 3 The Ridgemont Company / Village at Gateway - Public - Commercial Permit #: TXR1597RW Inspection Date: 2/5/2026 Section IV - FOLLOW UP The following information was received by the U.S. EPA after leaving the site on February 5, 2026: On February 5, 2026, a digital copy of the SWPPP, CSN, site maps, and inspection reports were emailed by Mr. Martin. On February 19, 2026, Mr. Martin emailed additional site maps and information to clarify what areas on-site were covered by The Village at Gateway - Public, TCEQ Permit Number TXR1594RW (as opposed to The Village at Gateway - Private, TCEQ Permit Number TXR1597RW).
