PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Gaye Mashburn, Member/Manager, Morehead Plaza, LLC
Lowes Foods Store Morehead Plaza
Carteret County
FOR THE
redevelopment and treatment of runoff from existing impervious surfaces in an
alternative infiltration system consisting of a series of sunken landscaped infiltration
islands in compliance with the provisions of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 (hereafter referred to
as the "storm water rules') and the approved stormwater management plans and
specifications, and other supporting data as attached and on file with and approved by
the Division of Water Quality and considered a part of this permit.
The Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 29, 2013 and
shall be subject to the following specific conditions and limitations:
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
The proposed built -upon area is 300,451 square feet, which is less than the
318,660 square feet that previously existed.
2. To the extent practicable, the project has provided stormwater control measures
in accordance with the stormwater rules. Those control measures are:
a. Thirty-one sunken landscaped infiltration islands, which treat approxi-
mately 75% of the existing built -upon area in the parking lot.
b. A reduction in the total amount of built -upon area at the site.
3. Approved plans and specifications for projects covered by this permit are
incorporated by reference and are enforceable parts of the permit.
4. All stormwater collection and treatment systems must be located in either
dedicated common areas or recorded easements. The final plats for the project
will be recorded showing all such required easements, in accordance with the
approved plans.
5. Based on a minimum of 31,366 ft2 of area, the sunken islands provide a total of
15,683 cubic feet of storage for the runoff. Each island will be 6" deep and will be
covered with landscape stone. Any overflows from the project will ultimately be to
the existing collection system.

Mr. Chiles:
Please either complete the infiltration basin supplement, as
discussed, and have Ms. Mashburn sign and notarize it, or add the
following items to the operation and maintenance plan submitted,
which addresses mainly plant maintenance:
1. Require inspections monthly, or after every runoff producing
rainfall, whichever comes first.
2. Check the system for erosion and repair any eroded areas.
3. Add item 45 regarding restoration of the system should it fail
and construction of alternate measures should the original system
not be able to be restored to design condition.
The resubmittal does not shed any light on Item 1 of my August 20,
2003, letter, regarding required signatures on the application.
Please check with Ms. Mashburn to verify what the Operating
Agreement says, and if both managers need to sign the application
in order for it to be a legal act of the LLC or not.
I will return the O&M plan via USPS for you to add the above
requirements. Ms. Mashburn will either need to resign or initial
and date the additions.

Dear Dear Ms. Lewis:
As our response to your letter, reference (d) requesting more additional information
related to the subject project and as we discussed by phone on August 26 and August 27, 2003,
we offer the following for your consideration.
1. Please delete any reference to bio-retention areas in the plan and refer to all new
areas provided within the parking lot as pervious planting islands. These islands will
provide infiltration of runoff.
2. The soils report indicates the soils type as SP, relatively clean sand with a depth of
approximately 13 feet. The groundwater was found about 3.5 to 4.5 feet below
grade. (a copy of Page 3 of the report is enclosed)
3. The soils infiltration rate for soils as found on site at 6 inches per hour per square foot
is considered reasonable.
4. The 6 inch depth of landscape stone within the pervious planting island will provide a
void volume of 50 percent for storage of runoff. When combined with infiltration
each island will contain runoff volume greater than the void volume during rainfall
events exceeding 1 inch per hour.
5. The pervious planting islands are now designated by number, area, stored runoff
volume and watershed on the enclosed drawing and further shown on the separate
listing. (enclosure (2) and (3))
6. The impervious area on the site prior to redevelopment has been reduced and the
runoff from 40 percent of the remaining impervious area will be treated within one
(or more) of the pervious planting islands.
The enclosed Operation and Maintenance Plan has been revised to reflect the use of
the Pervious Planting islands as infiltration devices.
8. The application has been re -signed and initialed and the originals are enclosed.
9. The site plan has been revised to include dimensions for the building previously
defined by area only,
10. 1 understand that the matter of the Ruby Tuesday Restaurant, paragraph 2 in
reference (d) has been addressed otherwise.
We appreciate your continued assistance in this matter.
Very Truly Yours,
Robert M. Chiles, P.E.

s Proposed Lowes Food Store June 5, 2003
New Bern, North Carolina
Boring Records and profile are intended to represent approximate depths of changes in soil types.
Naturally, transitional changes in soil types are often gradual and cannot be defined at a particular
depth.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Approximately 1 to 2 inches of asphalt underlain by 4 to 6 inches of crushed stone is present at the
ground surface at boring locations. Beneath crushed stone, natural soils were encountered to boring
termination depths. Natural soils consist of relatively clean sand (SP) to a depth of approximately 13
feet. Beneath the sands, soils consist of interbedded silty and sandy clays (CL, CH), clayey and
-�, sandy silts (NIL.), and relatively clean sands (SP). Standard penetration test (SPT) N-values in
natural soils ranged from weight of hammer (WOH) to 27 blows per foot, indicating very soft to stiff
consistencies for clays and silts and very loose to medium dense relative densities for sands. Typical
SPT N-values ranged from 1 to 13 blows per foot. Natural soils were moist to saturated.
Groundwater was encountered in the borings at depths ranging from about 3.5 to 4.5 feet,
immediately after drilling operations. It is important to realize that seasonal fluctuations in
groundwater levels do occur with changes in rainfall and evaporation rates.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM�i IENDATIONS
The preliminary exploration indicates that the site is adaptable for the proposed development.
The building can be supported on shallow spread footings. Due to the presence of soft clays
€, below approximately 13 feet, we recommend footings bear as close to existing ground surface as
possible. Once the Belk's building has been completely removed, we recommend several
additional borings be conducted to confirm that soft clays do not exist at more shallow depths in
other areas.

To: Bill Hunt <[e-mail]>, .Darren England

Dear Bill and Darren:
I am working on a redevelopment project for Lowes Food Store in
Morehead Plaza. They want to do bio-retention to the extent
practicable, in 27 newly cut landscaped islands in the existing
parking lot, about 28,380 sq. ft. of landscape area, and 14,190
cubic feet of storage volume, which is about 67% of the first inch.
Before, the site had no stormwater treatment at all. The islands
will be sunken 6',' to provide storage. The engineer is Bob Chiles,
who has specified a 6" layer of landscape stone instead of ground
cover and mulch. He contends that the mulch just floats away during
the storm events, resulting in excessive costs to keep the systems
maintained and the parking lot clean.
Is landscape stone with shrubs and trees (no groundcover)
acceptable as maximum extent practicable for redevelopment? I'm
willing to give it a chance. I can put in a permit condition
regarding use of the stone, and when it will need to be replaced
with ground cover and mulch.
Thanks, Linda

Lowes Food Store @Morehead Plaza
Carteret County
Dear Ms. Mashburn:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application
for Lowes Food Store @Morehead Plaza on July 8, 2003. A preliminary review of that
information has determined that the application is not complete. The following
information is needed to continue the stormwater review.
Unless I am mistaken, it appears that Article VI Section 6.4 of your
operating agreement requires the approval of both Managers in order to
constitute an act of the Managers. If this is true, your signature alone is
not sufficient to execute the stormwater application, unless you obtain a
signature authorization from the other Manager, M.P. Southstar, LLC. It is
also acceptable for the Southstar Manager to add his signature to the
application to make it a legal act of the Vanagers. Additionally, as the
designated General Manager, M.P. Southstar, LLC, could also sign the
application alone, on behalf of both Managers.
2. There is a July 10, 2003, out -standing Notice of Violation against Blanton
Hamilton for the Ruby Tuesday Restaurant in Morehead Crossing. Before
issuing any more permits where he is a part of the corporate structure, this
violation must be cleared up. The pond at Ruby Tuesday has not been
maintained at all, and the Division is requiring that the Designer certify that
the pond has been restored to design condition before the Lowes Food
Store permit can be issued.
3. Page 4 of the application is initialed in the wrong place. Please initial the
blanks I have circled on page 4 of the application, enclosed. Additionally,
per the Attorney General, I cannot accept a photocopied signature. Please
return only an original signature. The original signature page was returned
to Mr. Chiles on June 27, 2003.
4. Since each of the 27 islands is a separate bio-retention area, please
complete a separate column on the application for each one, with its own
drainage area, built -upon area, etc.

5. Please provide separate sizing calculations, as previously requested, to
include the required bio-retention area, the calculated provided area (show
dimensions of each island) and the required and provided volume for each
bio-retention area. It is not appropriate to lump them all together as one
system, despite the fact that it is proposed for each one to overflow to the
next. The Division has no design guidelines for systems in series. It may
be that a large amount of runoff is directed to a very small bio-retention
area, which may cause the system to fail.
6. Please clearly delineate the drainage area for each of the 27 bio-retention
islands. Each bio-retention island must have it's own unique drainage
area.
7. As indicated in my previous letter, landscape stone is not a permittable
plant for use in a Bio-retention system. Please follow the requirements in
Chapter 4 of the BMP Manual and provide the required number, ratio, and
type of plantings as indicated in Tables 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. A detailed
Landscape plan with these items provided, is a requirement for bio-
retention systems. If you wish for these areas to function as infiltration
areas, then the use of stone is fine. You will need to modify your
application to infiltration, if you choose not the replace the landscape
stone with appropriate plantings.
8. Please provide dimensions for the building and sidewalk, as previously
requested. Only parking lot dimensions have been provided.
9. Please add a monthly inspection requirement to the Operation and
Maintenance plan, as indicated in Table 4.7 of the BMP Manual, and
replace the reference to a "landscape stone" mulch to just "mulch layer".
Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary
review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to September
20, 2003, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will
necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee.
If you need additional time to submit the information, please mail or fax your request for
a time extension to the Division at the address and fax number at the bottom of this
letter. The request must indicate the date by which you expect to submit the required
information. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application
to issue the permit.
The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under
an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and
is subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.

Lowes Food Store @Morehead Plaza
Carteret County
Dear Ms. Mashburn:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit
Application for Lowes Food Store @Morehead Plaza on May 1, 2003, A preliminary
review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The
following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
Please either delineate all wetlands on site, disturbed or undisturbed, or
note on the plans that none exist.
2. Please provide sealed bio-retention design calculations in accordance with
the design requirements outlined in Chapter 4 of the BMP guidance
document.
3. Please provide a signed and notarized'Operation and Maintenance plan
following the guidelines listed in Table 4.7 of the BMP guidance document.
4. Please provide a planting plan prepared by a NC licensed professional,
following the planting guidelines specified in Chapter 4 of the BMP
guidance document.
5. Based on the typical island detail, it appears that each planted island will
be a bio-retention area, however, only 1 area is actually labeled as a bio-
retention area. If each island is a bio-retention area, then it appears that
there will be at least 26 of them. Please show the drainage area for each
bio-retention system and list the built -upon statistics for each bio-retention
system separately on the application. Add as many additional sheets as
needed for all 26 systems. As a redevelopment project, you are required
to meet the rules to the maximum extent practicable.
6. Please revise the bio-retention island detail to conform to the typical
details in Chapter 4 of the BMP document. Landscape stone is not
considered a component of a functional bio-retention system.

7. There are several drop inlets shown on the plan that appear to collect
runoff and discharge it without treatment of any kind. Please revise the
plans so that the runoff is either treated in a bio-retention area before
entering the collection system, or directed to a bio-retention area via the
collection system.
8. Please dimension the building, parking, walks, and bio-retention areas.
9. Please print your name and initial page 4 of the application.
10. The LLC is Manager -managed. Please provide verification of your status
as the appointed Manager.
I am stopping my review of this project at this point because there is so much
missing information that a complete review is not possible. Upon receipt of the
requested information, I can do a more thorough review. Please note that this request
for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested
information should be received in this Office prior to July 27, 2003, or the application will
be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all
required items, including the application fee.
If you need additional time to submit the information, please mail or fax your
request for a time extension to the Division at the address and fax number at the bottom
of this letter. The request must indicate the date by which you expect to submit the
required information. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a
completed application to issue the permit.
The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance
under an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-
215.1 and is subject to enforcement action pursuant: to NCGS 143-215.6A.
Please reference the State assigned project number on all correspondence. Any
original documents that need to be revised have been sent to the engineer or agent. All
original documents must be returned or new originals must be provided. Copies are not
acceptable. If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me
at [phone].

Revised Submittal
Dear Ms. Mashburn:
This office has reviewed the subject sedimentation and erosion control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable
and hereby issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan
approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken,
as is required by Title 15A NCAC 48.0029.
Please be advised that Title i 5A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 48.001 8(a) requires that a copy
of the approved plan be on file at the job site. Also, you should consider this letter to give the Notice required by GS
11 3A-61(a) approved plan. The last page(s) which lists approval comments should be cooied and attached to the
sedimentation and erosion control plan that is maintained on site.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is performance oriented, requiring protection of the
natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, it is determined that the
erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru 66), this office may require revisions to the plan and its
implementation to insure compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with federal and state
water quality laws, regulations, and rules. In particular, if wetlands are effected by this land disturbing activity, the
provisions of the Clean Water Act as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency must be adhered to. In
addition, local city or county ordinances or rules may also apply to this land -disturbing activity. This approval does not
supersede any other permit or approval.
Please be aware that this project will be covered by the enclosed general storm water permit NCGO1000
(Construction Activities). You should first become familiar with all of the requirements for compliance with the enclosed
general permit.

1 . This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land disturbing
activity has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC 413.0029.
2. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. if the approved erosion measures
prove insufficient, the developer must take those. additional steps necessary to stop erosion from
leaving this site. Each sediment storage device must be inspected after each storm event.
Maintenance and/or clean out is necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity.
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the proposed
development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel
is prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regraded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical
or less -steep. Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered new earth work
and is subject to the same erosion control requirements as new ditches.
4. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the
development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could
include agencies such as the Division of Water Quality's stormwater regulations, their enforcement
requirements within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA
requirements, the Division of Solid Waste Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental
Protection Agency and/or The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act,
local County or Municipalities' ordinances, or others that may be required. This approval cannot
supersede any other permit or approval; however, in the case of a Cease and Desist Order from the
Corp of Engineers, that Order would only apply to wetland areas. All highland would still have to be
in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
5. If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act, the
developer is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water Quality, the
Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Any erosion control
measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland area must be approved by the aforementioned agencies
prior to installation or our Section must be notified -of a relocation of the measures in question to the
transition point between the wetlands and the highlands'to assure that the migration of sediment will
not occur. If that relocation presents a problems or contradicts any requirements of DWQ, the Corps
or the EPA, it is the responsibility of the developer to inform the Land Quality Section regional office
so that an adequate contingency plan can be made to assure sufficient erosion control remains on
site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of this approval.
6. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved
source. A single use borrow site or an area to waste material is only permissible if it is operated under
total control of the Financially Responsible person or firm who is developing this site, is located on
or adjacent to this site, and has been incorporated as part of this plan.

Page 2of2
7. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed 7.3
acres. Exceeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and
additional application fee. Any addition in impervious surface, over that already noted on the
approved plan, would also require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the erosion control
measures and stormwater retention measures.
S. The North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act mandates a shortened time frame in which
to reestablish vegetative groundcover. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and ditch banks) left exposed will,
within 15 working days or 30 calendar days (whichever is the shorter) after completion of any phase
of grading, be planted or otherwise provided with groundcover sufficient to permanently restrain
erosion.. .
