After inspecting the site, the inspector met with the construction manager Mr. Gary Fuller by the construction/sales trailer near the intersection of Williamsburg Place and Arden Road. The inspector presented her credentials to Mr. Fuller and informed him that a stormwater inspection was being performed to determine site compliance with the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) program and the Construction General Permit (CGP), in accordance with the Clean Water Act (CWA). The generation of this report is based on observations made by the inspector, information supplied by Toll Bros., Inc. representatives (the permittee), and records and reports maintained by the permittee, the state of Texas, and the U.S. EPA. FACILITY DESCRIPTION Wandering Creek at Brookhollow is a residential construction site operated by Toll Bros., Inc. The site is located off East 1st Street between Coit Road and Custer Road in Prosper, TX (denoted in Aerial Image 1 below). Coordinates to the site are in the vicinity of Latitude 3313'55.3" North, Longitude 9644'29.0" West. The project site totals 73.92 acres of land being developed with 52.98 acres of land being disturbed for homebuilding construction activities. The site discharges to Rutherford Branch to Wilson Creek (Segment #0821C), . At the time of inspection, the site was still primarily in the development phase of construction (TPDES Permit #: TXR1519LV), with approximately two (2) lots in the homebuilding phase of construction (TPDES Permit #: TXR1527SB). This inspection report focuses on the overall site conditions, though most observations were made in areas covered by TPDES Permit #: TXR1519LV. 2 Toll Bros., Inc./Wandering Creek at Brookhollow Permit #s: TXR1519LV & TXR1527SB Inspection Date: 12/12/2024 Aerial Image 1: The Wandering Creek at Brookhollow residential construction site. The site is located within the approximate blue boundary lines depicted above (south of East 1st Street between Coit Road and Custer Road in Prosper, TX). Section II - OBSERVATIONS The following points of discussion are derived from on-site visual observations on December 12, 2024: The construction site was still primarily in the development phase of construction with homebuilding observed on only two (2) lots. At the time of inspection, Mr. Fuller advised the inspector that the lots under development were pending substantial completion and homebuilding would commence on the remaining lots, once approved. Two (2) Large Construction Site Notices (CSNs) issued by the TCEQ were observed on-site at the time of inspection. The first CSN (TPDES Permit #: TXR1519LV) was observed east of the 3 Toll Bros., Inc./Wandering Creek at Brookhollow Permit #s: TXR1519LV & TXR1527SB Inspection Date: 12/12/2024 intersection of East 1st Street and Williamsburg Place (Appendix 1, Photos 1-2), effective February 8, 2023, for coverage under the CGP. The other Large CSN (TPDES Permit #: TXR1527SB) was observed by the construction/sales trailer near the intersection of Williamsburg Place and Arden Road (Appendix 1, Photos 3-4), effective September 9, 2024, for coverage under the CGP. According to Mr. Fuller, the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was stored and managed off-site. As a result, the inspector was unable to review any documentation at the time of inspection. The site was primarily paved streets and exposed sediment with minimal to no Best Management Practices (BMPs) present along the lots. Silt fencing was installed along the perimeter of the site (Appendix 1, Photo 8). Silt fencing, erosion control blanket(s), and a rock check dam were installed near the outfall at the southeast corner of the site (Appendix 1, Photos 5-7). The outfall at the southeast corner of the site had minimal to no sediment buildup with relatively clear water in Rutherford Branch (Appendix 1, Photo 6). Inlets throughout the site had BMPs installed (Appendix 1, Photos 10, 13, and 14). Multiple areas of concern (AOCs) were observed as described below in Section III of this report with photos included in Appendix 1. Section III AREAS OF CONCERN Approximately 75-85% of the lots throughout the site did not have BMPs installed to contain sediment and dirt piles (Appendix 1, Photos 8-14 and 17-18). The interior lots (i.e. lots not along lots covered under TPDES Permit #: TXR1527SB on Williamsburg Place. Sediment and sediment track-out was observed on the paved areas throughout the site, which is located within the Town of Prosper MS4 (Appendix 1, Photos 8, 12, and 14). Some of the inlet protection throughout the site were heavily silted with sediment (Appendix 1, Photo 14). Some sections of the silt fencing around the perimeter of the site needed maintenance (Appendix 1, Photo 16). Improper disposal or storage of a ripped mortar mix bag was observed near the curb on Harrison Lane (Appendix 1, Photo 15). Some blowable trash was observed along the lots (Appendix 1, Photos 17-18). Trash, including a discarded pallet and wood materials were observed near the CSN east of the intersection of East 1st Street and Williamsburg Place (Appendix 1, Photo 1). Dumped trash was observed at the southeast corner of the site near the rock check dam (Appendix 1, Photo 19). The inspector was unable to definitively determine the source of the dumped trash. Section IV FOLLOW UP The following information was received by the U.S. EPA after leaving the site on December 12, 2024: Upon request, a digital copy of the SWPPP for TXR1519LV and TXR1527SB, including an up-todate site map and the last five (5) inspection reports were emailed by Mr. Mike Boswell (Vice President Land Development of Toll Bros., Inc.) on December 16, 2024. 4 Toll Bros., Inc./Wandering Creek at Brookhollow Permit #s: TXR1519LV & TXR1527SB Inspection Date: 12/12/2024 On December 20, 2024, at 9:30 AM via Zoom, a closing conference was conducted by the inspector with Toll Bros., Inc. personnel, which included Mike Boswell (Vice President of Land Development), Gary Fuller (Construction Manager), John Vroom (Storm Water Compliance Manager), and Scott Myers (Construction Manager). During this call, the inspector summarized the site observations, explained the contents of the forthcoming report, and advised that pending enforcement could not be determined at this time.
