Developer says temporary controls in place after sediment discharge into Wolfchase; county issued NOV

A Henderson County Notice of Violation issued July 2 cites sediment discharge off‑site from the Moon Heights development into Wolfchase roads and stormwater control devices, city staff told the Council. The NOV requires repair and maintenance of erosion controls, design evaluation by a professional, restoration of sediment damage, and a halt to new land‑disturbing activity until the site is compliant.

Brenda (city staff) summarized recent events including localized rain on June 29 and repeated runoff during late May and June that carried sediment from phase‑3 regrading onto neighboring properties. She said the county had previously issued NOVs that were closed on the condition of Wolfchase repairs and trail fixes. Deb Johnston of Henderson County confirmed the county has been in touch with the HOA and that 4 Star has stopped work and concentrated on stabilizing the site since the NOV.

Ally Seeball of developer 4 Star said the company hired an independent consultant after earlier flooding and identified about five acres of off‑site run‑on that were not accounted for in older stormwater plans. "So no damage occurred to any of the private residences. There was a house that was flooded — that house is owned by 4 Star," Seeball said, adding that additional temporary erosion controls, seeding and a new bypass stormwater install were completed while longer‑term measures are permitted.

Council members pressed staff on homeowner impacts and communications. Staff and county representatives said an engineer's formal response to the NOV and a proposed corrective plan are expected by July 29; they recommended preparing a single, comprehensive email to the Wolfchase HOA summarizing meetings, NOV status and agreed next steps once measures are approved.
