Subject: Stormwater Permit No. SW7090224
South Park Athletic Complex
Overall Low Density Commercial Development
with an Area of High Density
Dear Mr. Olson: Pasquotank County
The Washington Regional Office received a complete Stormwater Management Permit
Application for South Park Athletic Complex on February 26, 2009 and an additional
information on March 24, 2009. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined
that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Session
Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC 21-1.1000. We are forwarding Permit No. SW7090224,
dated March 27, 2009, for the construction of the subject project.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 27, 2019, and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to
the Operation and Maintenance requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate
system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system will result in
future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have
the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands
are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please
contact Samir Dumpor, or me at [phone].

I. DESIGN STANDARDS
This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of stormwater
described in the application and other supporting data.
The built -upon area percentage for the low density portion of this project must be
maintained at 24% per the requirements of Session Law 2008-211 and 15A
NCAC 2H .1000. This project is permitted for a maximum of 138,956 square feet
of BUA (for both Low Density and High Density portion of this project).

stormwater runoff as described in Section 1.6 on page 3 of this permit.
4. This project will maintain a minimum 50 foot wide vegetated buffer between all
impervious areas and surface waters.
Within the low density portions of the permitted project, the only runoff
conveyance systems allowed will be vegetated conveyances such as swales with
