This latter letter, in addition to asking for clarification of several key issues, requested a meeting with the owners and your office to resolve several key issues.

A modification to the permit was submitted on May 15, 2001, and after several attempts, the application is still incomplete. The items cited in the February 7, 2001, Notice of Violation are being addressed by the applicant. The application process allows the Division a 90 day review time and the applicanta. 30 day response time. Due to some technical design questions raised by the engineer, this process has been slightly extended, but I anticipate issuing this permit soon. Our goal is to bring this site into compliance by requiring a functioning infiltration system to be constructed in accordance with the permit requirements. I am reluctant to initiate an enforcement action because both you and Ms. Stanaland-Humphries allege that the other is responsible for the removal of the infiltration system. Rather than get bogged down in determining who is at fault, I have chosen to get the situation resolved within the scope of the stormwater management permit rules and conditions. If you wish to assign blame, you are free to seek relief in the court system. My letter to Ms. Stanaland-Humphries was sent out on January 25, 2002. She has until February 25,_2002, to respond. You have been very patient with a very complicated situation, and we appreciate it. I ask you to please continue to be patient, and soon an appropriately sized infiltration system will be permitted and constructed for this project.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office January 25, 2002 Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Stormwater Project No. SW8 SW8 931204 Ocean Harbour Estates Brunswick County The Wilmington Regional Office received the response to the previously requested additional information letter for Ocean Harbour Estates on November 16, 2001. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The reference in the rules to "Controlling Urban Runoff', Tom Schueler,1987,is specific to pages A.1 and A.2 only, storage volume calculation, and nothing else. The parts of that manual that provide design guidance for exfiltration trenches such as is quoted in Mr. Klein's November 15, 2001, were not incorporated into the rules and cannot be applied. While the existing prof ect was permitted by allowing the volume of runoff which infiltrated during the storm event to be subtracted from the required minimum storage volume in 1993, we are unable to permit the modification the same way. The Division is allowed to revise certain interpretations of the rules when those interpretations result in nuisance conditions or when they are proven to not be in the best interest of improving water quality. Had the infiltration system been maintained as permitted, we could not now go back and ask you to redesign. The system was altered without DENR permission and a modification was submitted after the fact. Since the old rules that this project was permitted under no longer exist, the Division must apply current criteria to the modification. If this isn't sufficient to change your opinion, per NCAC 2H.1008 (c)(6), additional measures may be required on a case -by -case basis to maintain and protect water quality.- Due to the proximity of this project to SA waters, and the complaints of flooding we have received at this particular trench location, I am going to require that the trench be designed to hold the entire 1.5" runoff volume., or 3,330 cubic feet. Please show the invert of the relocated perforated piping from uhe new jumction box into the existing trench on the section view of the Junction Box Detail. L�� N.C.

During a prior discussion with your office, we were informed that Raleigh was consulted on this point and that a determination was made to allow infiltration during the storm event. Review of several projects already approved validate this point as this approach was used. In fact, the original approval of this project incorporated infiltration during the storm event. Therefore, we feel this point to be inconsistent with prior approvals. 3. Regarding NCAC 2H.1008 (c)(1), we noted that it refers to a manual entitled "Controlling Urban Runoff: A Practical Manual for Planning and Designing Urban BMP's" for approved calculations methods. Review of this manual validates two important points, both of which are copied for your needs: a.

The disadvantages associated with infiltration trenches include practical difficulties in keeping sediment out of the structure during site construction (particularly if development occurs in phases), the need for careful construction of the trench and regular maintenance thereafter, and a possible risk of groundwater contamination. INFILTRATION TRENCH METHODS A schematic of an infiltration trench is shown in Figure 5.1. Basically, runoff is diverted into a shallow (3-8 feet deep) excavated trench that has been backfilled with stone to form an underground reservoir. Runoff is then either exfiltrated from the reservoir into the underlying subsoil or is collected by perforated underdrain pipes and routed to an outflow facility. Trench size depends on two factors: the volume of runoff controlled, and the degree to which exfiltration is used to dispose of runoff. Typically, larger trenches are needed for stormwater control, whereas smaller versions can be employed for water quality purposes. The three basic trench systems are described below. Complete Exfiltration System In this design, runoff can only exit the trench by exfiltrating through, the stone reservoir and into the underlying soils (i.e., there is no positive pipe outlet from the trench). As a result, the stone reservoir must be large enough to accommodate the entire expected design runoff volume, less an runoff volume lost via exfiltration during the storm. The complete exfi Ltration system provides total peak discharge, volume, and water quality control for all rainfall events less than or equal to the design storm. A rudimentary overflow channel, such as a shallow berm or dike, may be needed to handle any excess runoff from storms greater than the design storm. Partial Exfiltration System It may not always be feasible or prudent to rely totally on exfiltration to dispose of runoff. For example, there may be concerns about the long-term permeability of the underlying soils, downstream seepage, or clogging at the interface between the filter fabric and subsoil. Many current designs use a perforated underdrain at the bottom of the trench to collect runoff and direct it to a central outlet. Since trenches are narrow, the collection efficiency of the underdrain is very high. As a result, these designs may only act as a short-term underground detention system. The low exfiltration rates and short residence times, together, result in poor pollutant removal and hydrologic control. A p2J�cz+[� MAt-J%J L �otie PC.A�1 N� Nt�c t ANn �sIcTN lNG V��AN 'g��''S� uliapter 5: Infiltration Trenches 5.3 Performance of partial exfiltration systems can be improved during smaller storms when perforated underdrains are not used. Instead, a perforated pipe can be inserted near the top of the trench (Figure 5.2). Runoff then will not exit the trench until it rises to the level of the outlet Pipe. Storms with less volume than the design storm may never fill the trench to this level, and will be subject to complete exfiltration. In either design, the passage of the inflow hydrograph through the trench can be modeled using the modified TR-20 procedure (Md WRA, 1983b) to determine the appropriate sizing of the trench. Due to storage/timing effects, partial exfiltration trenches will be smaller in size than full exfiltration trenches serving the same site. Water Quality Exfiltration Systems The storage volume of a water quality trench is set to receive only the first flush of runoff volume during a storm. The first flush volume has been variously defined as; 1) one-half inch of runoff per impervious acre, 2) one-half inch runoff per acre, and 3) the volume of runoff produced by a one inch storm. The remaining runoff volume is not treated by the trench, and is conveyed to a conventional detention or retention facility downstream. While water quality exfiltration systems do not satisfy stormwater storage requirements, they may result in smaller, less costly facilities downstream. The smaller size and area requirements of water quality exfiltration systems allows considerable flexibility in their placement within a development site, an important factor for "tight" sites. Additionally, if for some reason, the water quality trench fails, stormwater may still adequately be controlled by a downstream SWM facility. INFILTRATION TRENCH DESIGN VARIATIONS Trench designs can be further distinguished as to whether they are located se runof on the surface or below ground. Surface trenches accept diffuf (sheet flow) directly from adjacent areas, after it has been filtered through a grass buffer. Underground trenches can accept more concentrated runoff (from pipes and storm drains), but require the installation of special inlets to prevent coarse sediment and oil/grease from clogging the stone reservoir. Several examples of surface and underground trench designs are shown in Figures 5.2 to 5.9, and are described below. In most cas-es, these designs are adaptable for either full, partial or water quality exfiltration. Surface Trench Applications Surface trenches are typically applied in residential areas, where smaller loads of sediment and oil can effectively be trapped by grass filter strips. Since the surface is exposed, these trenches have a slightly higher risk of clogging than underground trenches. However, if preventative measures are taken (e.g., placing permeable filter fabric 6-12 inches below the surface of the trench to intercept sediment), any surface clogging that occurs can be relieved without having to reconstruct the entire trench. Because of their accessibility, surface trenches are easier to maintain and inspect. v �r o.r�c G6 ELT �L� MANJ�4L Fa+= P�-AN � 1 N G Michael F. Easley, Governor William G.

A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: 1. Per NCAC 2H.1008(c)(1), the storage volume of the system shall be calculated to provide for the most conservative protection using runoffcalculation methods described in the BMP manual. While the infiltration rates at this site are extremely high, the rules require that at a minimum, the system be sized to hold at least the volume associated with the runoff from 1.5" of rain. Since the infiltration rates are so high, the only break I can givc you is that additional storage volume for the 25 year storm will not be required. lei N.C.

I- Re: Infiltration Subject: Re: Infiltration Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2001 09:33:12 -0400 From: Bill Moore <Bill.Moore@ncmail.net> To: Linda Lewis <Linda.Lewis@ncmail.net> How's my favorite stormwater engineer doing ? Have you attained the status of "BIMS Master" yet ? I still don't like BIMS, but I'm finally learning to get around in my "Model T". About infiltration systems; most systems are designed to store the design volume without considering the infiltration rate of the soils. If you determine that 1.5-inches of runoff will generate 5000 cf, then you provide a minimum of 5000 cf of free storage. The fact that you have a high infiltration rate means that the system should draw down in a short period of time and should work really well. If you begin to allow reduced storage capacity due to high infiltration rates, where do you draw the line ? I think this position may be consistent with the intent of the rules. However, given the very favorable site conditions you describe, I might tend to be somewhat flexible with the design specs, if I felt comfortable with the overall project. For example, if the basin can store & infiltrate the runoff from a 10-year storm event (about 4.5 inches), then I would probably forego the requirement for a bypass system. Be careful, the next project/consultant may want the same consideration for a site with less favorable site conditions. "This will come to pass". Hope you have a great day. I need to come see you sometime soon; we can talk shop & eat a fancy lunch & you can train me to be a "BIMS Master".

Easley, Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office September 24, 2001 Subject: Ocean Harbour Estates Subdivision Stormwater Project No. 931204 Brunswick County I am in receipt of your September 6, 2001, letter regarding your concerns at Ocean Harbour Subdivision. While the project modification application package submitted on May 15, 2001 was inadequate, I have corresponded with the applicant regarding how to make their application complete. While very little physical progress has been accomplished, we have actually made great progress in terms of getting an application in for review. Once the application is approved, and all requirements under the rules are met, the permit will be issued, and the improvements can be constructed. The project was resubmitted on August 23, 2001, for review, and by law there is up to 90 days review time, however, I should be able to review it within the next week or two. Please be assured that all requirements of the rules will be met before this permit is issued. As to the other concerns mentioned in your letter, I have the following comments: 1. The past violations were not ignored. They have since been addressed by the installation of the required vegetated filter. 2. The infiltration system the Division previously approved at Ocean Harbour was for the storage and treatment of the runoff from the first 1.5" of rain. For storms that exceed this amount, the original proposed design ( and I stress proposed) is that the runoff overflows from the catch basin and makes its way across the cul-de- sac to the vegetated filter. The curbing is supposed to channel the overflow to the filter. Part of the problem here is that changes and revisions were made to this proj ect without benefit of a review. If they don't get built the way we approve them, then there are going to be permit compliance issues. We review and approve proposed designs based on whether they will work and meet the design requirements, not whether they are necessarily the best design. Please also remember that our Office cannot review stormwater designs for flood control. That is beyond our jurisdiction and not within the scope of the rules. 3. As to the performance of the maintenance, may I suggest you request copies of the maintenance records. If none can be produced, I suggest you negotiate with the developer to have the system cleaned out and restored to design condition before the Association accepts it. N.C. Division of Water Quality 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, N.C. 28405 (910) 395-3900 Fax (910) 350-2004 Customer Service 800-623-7748 Mr. Hunkele September 24, 2001 Stormwater Project No. SW8 931204 4. Recommendations by our Office to withhold Certificates of Occupancy are a standard statement in cases like this. It is our understanding that the building inspectors are unable to issue Certificates of Completion wherever the conditions in a required permit are not met. 5. My current workload is overwhelming so please call to schedule an appointment if you wish to discuss the project at length. If I am not available, my administrative assistant, Beverly Rivenbark, will be more than happy to help you schedule an appointment with me. 6. I did not notice any additional paved surfaces on the revised plans, but thank you for bringing it to my attention. When I review the revised plans, I will make sure those surfaces are accounted for. 7. The Division will not hold the Association responsible for the acts of the permittee. You will only be held responsible for your own acts regarding the operation and maintenance of the system after the permit is transferred to the Association. As to what will happen to the developers of Ocean Harbour Estates, I cannot say. The Division is unable to prove exactly who was at fault for the removal of the infiltration system, therefore, I am hard-pressed to write up an enforcement action. I think at this point, the thing to focus on is to get the system cleaned out, permitted and rebuilt in accordance with the permit and the rules. Any action the Association wishes to pursue to recoup the costs this situation has caused is completely your decision. 8. When the designer sends in the Designer's Certification, the system is considered in compliance; however, due to the past problems at this site, I am willing to schedule a site visit after the improvements are completed. The visit will be to determine the status of permit compliance only. Any other issues that you have with the development company must be resolved between you and developer. The Association will be required to sign an Operation and Maintenance planprior to permit transfer. All maintenance responsibilities are listed on this document. There are any number of landscaping and specialty firms willing to assist you in maintaining the system for a monthly fee if the Association is unable to do the maintenance itself. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900. Sincerely, Linda Lewis Environmental Engineer RSS\arl: S:\WQS\STORMWAT\LETTERS\931204.SEP cc: Linda Lewis r RECEIVED September 6, 2001 SEP 0 7 2001 BY: North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality -Wilmington Regional Office Attn: 1`��s. Linda Lewis 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: File # 931204 Ocean Harbour Estates Dear Ms. Lewis: It has now been nearly nineteen months since I first corresponded with you regarding the above storm water permit issued to Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc.. That correspondence was dated February 19, 2000. I had a follow-up conversation with Mr. Shiver and provided additional information to him in correspondence dated October 11, 2000. I understand the workload your Division undertakes but feel we have been patient as Notices of Violation have been issued to the original developers, extensions granted, additional information requested, ninety day review periods triggered, more violations issued, modifications submitted and withdrawn, etc. As President of the Homeowners Association, the Board has discussed this situation and are discouraged that we see no remedy in sight. Certain Association members have become aware of the Notices of Violation issued by your Division and notification to Building Inspectors to consider withholding building permits and Certificates of Occupancy. This certainly raises fear in their minds as to the viability of their investment in Ocean Harbour Estates. I have found it difficult to determine what progress is being made. It appears that I, as well as the Homeowners Association, do not seem to stay updated by your Division even though the Violations affect where we live and can impact our committed investment in property and homes. This needs to change. In an effort to find out more, I asked you to make the file available to me and visited your office on August 9. I reviewed the file and tried to see you the same day but the front desk was unable to get a response from you. I did expect to hear from you but I have heard nothing. Having reviewed the file, these are some preliminary observations that I have: There have been outstanding violations that may go back to the original permit issued. Either the violations were ignored or no follow-up was performed. 2. The modified plans submitted by the developers dated June 1999 appear to have been a stall tactic as the subject property was actively for sale. Unfortunately this modification appears to have been well planned but was subsequently withdrawn by the developers. 3. The modification submitted by a different firm in May 15, 2001 seems woefully deficient. This modification according to your own observations provide for replacement of only 12% of the original system. On page two of the report dated May 2001 by Wrightsville Engineering Services, the statement " Visual evidence would indicate that the system has been performing satisfactory with only 35 linear feet of trenching active " is completely false. A simple site visit by you will show obvious erosion from catch basin #19 undermining the street curbing and overflowing onto lot #10 and along lot #11. Photographs were taken earlier this year showing water overflowing from this catch basin in this manner. 4. Also indicated on the May 15, 2001 modification subraitted by the developer is an additional paved surface fronting lots #1,2 and 3. This paved surface does not seem to have appeared on the original permit or any previous modification submitted to your Division. It is a blacktop street with no curbing and appears to have been installed by the developers as an afterthought. Also apparently not shown on any plans or modifications submitted to your Division is a golf cart path located on lot #11 where a grass swale was originally indicated. There is also concern that the wooden walkway located between lot #6 and lot #7 is not in compliance with the original permit. 5. The file also indicated, as well as the report mentioned in item #3 above, that there should be an Operation and Maintenance Plan in effect. No one is aware of any maintenance or cleanout of the existing system having been performed in previous years, if ever. According to your last correspondence with the developers, there was a deadline of August 23, 2001 to provide you with additional information. Has this been received? Is there another 90 day review period? Has additional information been requested and are further extensions and review periods likely? Where do we go from here? I feel it is now appropriate for your Division to provide the Board of Directors of Ocean Harbour Estates Association, Inc. a plan as to what definitive action we can expect the Division of Water Quality to pursue as to the outstanding Notices of Violation against Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc., the developing company of Ocean Harbour Estates. If the solution is to be pursued in Raleigh or elsewhere beyond the Wilmington regional office, we need to know. The file suggests that there are violations dating back to the original storm water permit issued to the developers. These violations are currently impacting certain members' property within Ocean Harbour Estates and causing concern as to their investment in property and homes. Finally, the Homeowners Association cannot assume any responsibility, or liability, for the current storm water system pertaining to violations not remedied by the developers with the Division of Water Quality. Upon ultimate resolution of any deficiencies, the Board would request that you review the entire storm water system and maintenance responsibilities on site with it's current Board members. We anticipate hearing from you soon.

Revisions include the following: 1. Revised application page 2 has been included which contains columns for each drainage basin and the overall project. As the original project application form did not contain a breakdown of the impervious areas, merely a weighted runoff coefficient, we were able to back into the relative acreages as indicated. 2. Enclosed is a letter from the President of W.M. Stanaland Estates, Inc. giving permission for Nester Stanaland-Humphries, Secretary, to sign on his behalf. 3. An additional vicinity map has been added to the Drawings which include state routes. 4. Enclosed is revised page 1 of the application which designates W.M. Stanaland, Inc. as the applicant. Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. has been dissolved as a corporation. 5. A detail of the previously designed trench has been included on the Drawing. Inverts of the existing system are provided on the plan view. 8. It would appear that we have conflicting information as to the frequency of overflowing of the existing inlet. Enclosed is a letter from the applicant dated August 3, 2001, regarding ongoing field observations of the system. Review of the DWQ files also indicates a letter from W. Vaughn Stanaland dated September 28, 2000 regarding observations as well as photographs of the area. Both indicate that the system appears to be working satisfactory, even without the additional lineage which has been blocked off. 3410 Wrightsville Avenue Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 910.799.7967 Fax 910.793.0599 Page Two. Ms. Linda Lewis August 23, 2001 We would like to add that based on our own observations of thevisual evidence, overflow of the basin had occurred at one time, but that the level erosion around the vicinity of the basin has remained constant. This would seem to indicate that the occurrence was not routine, nor re -occurring. Also, in the unlikely event of overflow, the runoff appears to follow the natural low -spot of the terrain which falls along the property lines of lots 10 and 11. Covenants for the lots designate a 5-foot easement along all lot lines which gives a corridor of 10 feet for the possible overflow. We have designated this on the Drawing. We hope the enclosed items are found satisfactory. Should there be any questions concerning the enclosed information or additional copies desired, please feel free to contact our office.

Let that be the least of our or anyone- s concern. The authorization that 1tiCDENR has requested will be provided. Ocean Harbour Estates has been dissolved. I suggest that the application read "W.M. Stanaland Estates, Inc. f/b/o Ocean Harbour Estates Association, Inc. We are not building anything "new" so it seems that the original application for the overall project and the systems need not be modified. I have lived on Lot 6 in Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. since October 1, 1996, a year or more before Lot I I was built upon and long before Lot 10 was sold. I have been aware of the drainage operations since the systems were put in and have visually observed their operating during rain activity since the beginning of Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. construction. The only time I have ever seen evidence of back up drainage was once while Lot 11 had construction going on. The debris was cleaned up and the proper drainage restore to full capacity. I have made a habit of obser,. ing the cul-de-sac for proper drainage. The catch basin there works fine. However, if NCDENR wants another infiltration rate, w1c have no choice but to provide it. I do think it would be important for NCDENR to recommend someone to measure the infiltration rates for the final time. This entire matter concerns me and I'm eager to see it put to rest.

A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: I.- Please complete a separate column on the application for each infiltration system, one for the modified system, one for each of the three existing systems, and one for the overall low density of the project. These documents will replace those originally submitted, therefore all information from the original application for the overall project and the systems that are not being modified must be shown in addition to the information for the modified system. ✓ 2. Only the president or vice-president of Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc., may sign the application, or a duly authorized representative. Please have either the president or vice- president sign the application or have one of them provide a signed signature authorization which will allow you to sign the application on their behalf. ✓ 3. Please add the nearest major intersection to the vicinity map. r/ 4. Which corporation will this permit be issued to? Both Ocean Harbour Estates, Iric., and W.M. Stanaland, Inc. are listed as the applicant. Please choose one, preferably Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc., since that is what was submitted for a name/ownership change earlier this year. 5. Please detail the proposed infiltration trench on the plans. Include the height, width, stone type, elevations, inverts, etc. 127 Cardinal Dr. Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-396o rAx 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recvcled/10% nnd-rnncmm-r nanny Ms. Stanaland-Humphries July 23, 2001 Stormwater Project No. SW8 931204 6. The engineer indicates that the overflow will occur at the lowest point, the catch basin in the road, but where will it go from there? If the road is pitched toward the basin, the overflow would have to head across Lot 10. The calculations indicate that the system should never overflow because it infiltrates faster than it can rain, but I have received complaints concerning the erosive overflows from this system. It is very possible that after all the construction over the years, the system is clogged with fines and needs to be restored to design condition. Please confirm the condition of the system. 7. An onsite soils investigation will be performed in the near future to verify the claim of the engineer concerning the infiltration capacity of the soils. 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 August 23, 2001, 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 (910) 395-3900.

The argument could be made that if the soil conductivity will actually infiltrate to the point that the storage volume can be reduced you are still meeting the regulations because you are still controlling it and drawing it down. Not that this is justification, but WARO routinely undersizes basins where conductivity permits, most typically on the outer banks. I hope this helps. 0 Linda Lcwis wrote: Jeanette: I have an old project with a lot of history, but to be brief, we received a modification to replace an infiltration trench system that had been "accidentally" torn out and not replaced. The proposed trench system is about 60% smaller than originally approved, but the drainage area was reduced considerably as well. The problem is that the required minimum volume for the first 1.5" is 4,297 cubic feet, but the proposed trench will only proivde 522 cubic feet. The engineer claims that the infiltration rate is so great that it can infiltrate much faster than it can ever rain, and will never fill up, so he wants us to permit the reduced trench size. This project is already under a microscope by the residents, so I really need to dot all my is and cross all my t's. I believe that the rules require that the system be designed to store the 1.5" volume, regardless of how fast it will infiltrate. Please confirm and comment on how, if at all, the high infiltration rate could be considered a factor to reduce the trench size.

Please respond to my questions via voice mail or fax. Thanks. Ocean Harbour Estates received a permit in 1994 for an infiltration system to treat the collected runoff from the streets of a low density subdivision. During the course of construction on one of the lots, a portion of the infiltration system was dismantled for a septic system. The developers have recently resubmitted, but the system proposed is not nearly big enough to hold the minimum 1.5" storm (SA Waters). They need 4,300 cubic feet, but propose only 522. They say the soils have an infiltration rate of 300 inches per hour, which will mean it infiltrates faster than the heaviest rainfall, and the system will never fill up. Is this a valid argument for not providing storage for the first 1.5", as required by the rules? Thanks for any input you have.

GENERAL: The purpose of this submittal is to modify the infiltration basin for the Harbour Watch Drive (private) collection basin within the Ocean Harbour Estates subdivision. Included within this submittal are the Drawings and Storm Drainage Calculations. All items are part of the overall plan and included by reference. The project involves modifying an existing infiltration system originally permitted on February 8, 1994 and subsequently modified on July 27, 1994. Correspondence with the original designer, Castles Consulting Engineers, Inc. of Myrtle Beach, has identified the basin designation as "HD-1" with calculations furnished by the designer for the original configuration. These have been included within this package. The original design called for an infiltration system to be constructed along the roadway frontage of lots 10 and 11 extending westward along the northern property line of lot 11. Construction was completed and lots subsequently sold. Review of the history of the project would indicate portions of the infiltration trench on lot 11 were deliberately destroyed while installing the septic tank for the residence by the lot Owner's representative. 2. EXBTING SITE: Basin HD-1 consists of lot areas and pavement west of the intersection of Harbour Gate South and Harbour Watch Drive. The existing collection system consists of inlet # 19 (original designation), trenching to junction box #18, and an additional infiltration trench leading junction box #20 (see Drawing). The site topography in the area of the proposed infiltration trench corridor is relatively flat with a mild slope from east to west, closely following the grades of the roadway pavement. Vegetation consists of roadside ground cover within the right-of-way. As part of this modification, Land Management Group, Inc. has been asked to prepare a site -specific report of the soils directly within the new trench corridor. Soils consist of sand/loamy sands with an estimated seasonal high static water table occurring at 105 to 108 inches below the ground surface. For additional data regarding the soils report, the reader is asked to refer to the report by Land Management which is included within this package. Review of the original design and the actual construction indicated that the drainage basin for the system was much smaller than originally anticipated. Due to grades dropping off sharply to the south from the right-of-way, little, if any, built -upon can be drained to the infiltration system. Similarly, a ridge line running approximately mid -way of the lots on the northern section of the roadway results in runoff away from the system. To verify this, Brunswick Surveying, Inc. was contacted to determine the actual drainage basin of the system. This boundary has been identified on the Drawings. Page Two Design Narrative Ocean Harbour Estates, Basin HD-1 Currently, only that portion of the infiltration system from catch basin #19 to junction box #18 has been active as the Developer had blocked the line toward junction box #20 upon learning of the lot owner's actions. Visual evidence would indicate that the system has been performing satisfactory with only 35 linear feet (LF) of trenching active. This is probably attributed to a factor of safety in excess of 5.0 used in the original design with respect to the actual infiltration rates. 3. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: The proposed improvement consists of removing the installing a new junction box for that segment to remain running westward. The location is just inside the right-of-way line and results in salvaging 28 LF of the existing infiltration trench. 4. STORM DRAINAGE DESIGN METHODOLOGY: Storm drainage calculations were aimed at satisfying NCDENR requirements for areas within an SA watershed. Due to inability to obtain a suitable overflow, the system was designed with the 24 hour, 25-year storm event. This rainfall event generates 8.0 inches and exceeds the required 1.5 inches for traditional SA watershed design. As indicated, the actual drainage basin was surveyed. This indicated that the overall drainage basin size is 1.58 acres versus the originally planned 2.59 acres (61 % of original size). Furthermore, the original design indicated soil infiltration rates in excess of 200 inches per hour while 40 inches per hour was used for design. Updated soils information indicates infiltration rates in the range of 300 to 900 inches per hour occurring. For our design, we chose the lower figure of 300 inches per hour (5 inches per minute) Hydraulic calculations were made using "HydroCAD" stormwater modeling program developed by Applied Microcomputer Systems. Site specific drainage basin data as well as trench parameters were input while the design storm was used. Refer to Calculations for modeling input data. 5. DESIGN RESULTS Based on the modeling of the system, the design should be satisfactory for the 24-hour, 25-year storm event with no discharge from the system. Results were expected based on past visual observations during storm events. f:. MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS The Operation and Maintenance Plan currently in effect will be retained unless otherwise noted or required by the Division of Water Quality.

Should the system design be exceeded, then flow will overflow the curbing at the lowest elevation. Overflow Elevation (top of grate): 27.00 MSL E. MODEL RESULTS: Based on results of the routing, the trench is satisfactory to handle the entire 25-year storm event with no discharge. This corresponds with field reports that the system has been operational with no exceedence other than blockage of the grate opening.

TO: Mr. John Klein Klein Engineering and Associates 322 South 4th Street Wilmington, North Carolina 28401 The land and soils within front portions of Lot 9, Ocean Harbour Estates were evaluated to determine potential suitability for on -site stormwater treatment usage. NCDEH&NR ° Stormwater Runoff Disposal" rules and regulations (NCAC 15-2H-.1000) were used as guidelines in making this evaluation. Projects that are greater than 1 acre in size, with greater than 25% impervious surface, and is less than % mile from and drains into Class SA waters is required to use infiltration basins/galleries or an equivalent method for stormwater treatment. principle soil and site requirements for an infiltration system are: —the infiltration system's bottom must be 2 feet or greater from the seasonal high water table; ---must be capable of complete draw -down within 5 days; ---the soil's hydraulic conductivity must be 0.52 in/hr or greater. Soil borings to a depth of 10 feet were performed on the front of the lot where the proposed stormwater infiltration trenches are proposed. The soil texture consisted of sand/loamy sand to a depth of 10 feet with no restrictive horizons encountered. The estimated seasonal high static water table occurred at 105-108 inches below the existing soil surface. The permeability ranged from 5-15 in/min. Based on the above findings, the soils located on the front of Lot 9, Ocean Harbour Estates meet and exceed all NCDEH&NR-DEM parameters for an infiltration stormwater treatment system. Soil logs can be provided upon request. If you have any further questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to call. Jlark D. i pett Licensed Soil Scientist, NC#1088 �le_ p SOIL IV V. ORIGINAL DESIGN NARRATIVE CALCULATIONS STORM WATER MANAGEMENT NARRATIVE Project Type: Low density with curb and gutter and exfiltration system Description: One of the motives for developing this storm water management concept was to minimize the abrupt grade changes that a swale system would require for the driveways extending on to the residential lots. Additionally, the developer would prefer to minimize the number of trees which have to be removed out of the right of ways behind the curbing. Beginning with this view of the project, we designed the'road-profiles with curb and gutter using a minimum .,road slope of 0.5 percent. Designing the road grades with this criteria, low points were established on the profiles in an effort to minimize the curb depth below the existing grades.. Having established the low points in the roadways, we delineated the drainage areas and computed their respective hydrologic parameters using the SCS Unit Hydrograph Method. Onsite subsurface investigation confirmed the presence of Wando, Soils and percolation tests yielded permeabilities in excess of 200 inches/hour. The water table was not reached in these tests which were conducted to a depth of 5 feet. (See "Soils" on page 1 of this report). From.the attached plan "Drainage Areas", the site has been subdivided into 7 catchments. Each catchment was then summarized for percentages of pervious and impervious surfaces based on the following land use categories. Land Use a Cn Streets 98 * Roofs and Driveways 98 Lawns and open spaces 35 * Maximum impervious surface per lot = 5305 sq.ft. After determining the weighted Cn number of each catchment, a time of concentration was calculated based'on the proposed grades and routes of runoff. (A summary of the catchment data and runoff hydrographs for the 10 year storm is contained in Table #1.) Having determined the roadway low points and the 10 year peak runoff associated with each of the drainage areas,'the following principles were used to design the drainage exfiltration system. 1. Following the conveyance of storm water runoff along the curb and gutter, the runoff is intercepted by.catch basins which discharge to a subsurface exfiltration system. 2.-The.exfiltration system is typically composed of a 24 inch perforated pipe encased in a one foot washed gravel envelope which in turn is wrapped in a.permeable geotech fabric. (See detail on sheet 5 of the plans.) 3. A typical length of this "exfiltration trench" has the capacity to (1) percolate storm water into the ground along the surface area of its sides and bottom and (2) to store a volume of storm water equivalent to the pipe volume and void ratio of the surrounding gravel envelope. 4. The gravel envelope serves a two fold purpose to the performance of the "exfiltration trench". First, it enlarges the surface area of the trench yielding a greater discharge per,'linear foot of pipe installed and secondly, it provides a filter media to remove impurities from the runoff. 5. The following method was used to size the required length of exfiltration trench for each drainage area. a. From Table #1, the peak runoff for a particular drainage area was obtained. b. Catch basins and junction boxes were networked together with lengths of exfiltration trench. Typically, the lengths of "trench" were connected to boxes located in the drainage area under study. C. Each drainage areas cumulative length of "trench" was theri analyzed to obtained the total perc surface area of the envelope and the total - permeability of this surface area (based on the soil permeability). d. Having determined the total perc rate of a drainage area's trench length, this perc rate was then plotted along the X axis of a graph of the drainage area's hydrograph. e. This pert rate as plotted on the hydrograph, therefore, represents that rate of runoff which can be per into the ground surrounding the sides and bottom .of the trench. f. The area of the hydrograph remaining under the curve and above the perc rate line represents the volume of water from the hydrograph that can not be percolated out of the trench during the storm peak and therefore would have to be stored in the trench system until complete percolation takes place. g. The volume of runoff below the curve and above the perk rate line is then determined as follows: 1. From the X and Y axes of the graph, linear interpolation is used to obtain an equivalent flow in cubic feet per second per inch on the graph and seconds per inch on the graph. By multiplying these two values, we obtain a volume in cubic feet per square inch on the graph. 2. The area under the graph and above the perc rate line is then calculated in square inches and when multiplied by the conversion factor of cubic feet per square inch, we obtain the volume of runoff which must be stored in the trench. This volume will typically be called the "required storage". h. Having determined the "required storage" for the study area, the available storage is computed by (1) calculating the volume in the 24" pipe, (2) calculating the volume in the rock envelope (40% void ratio) and (3) calculating the volume in each catch basin or junction box which connects the trench system.in the drainage area. The cumulative total of these volumes yields the "available storage". i. A comparison of the "available storage" to the "required storage" should -result in an adequate or surplus volume in the system which is necessary to prevent surcharging of the catch basins or pre- mature release of storm water runoff out of the system. j . By way of trial and error each system of trench is lengthened or shortened to produce the desired results. 6. Additional features of. the exfiltration system includes the following: a. Each catch basin and junction box will feature a one foot deep sediment basin to allow sand and dirt to be trapped in the basin before it -enters the perforated pipe. b. Each catch basin and junction box will also feature a one foot diameter hole cast in the bottom and filled with gravel to allow for automatic draining of the sediment basin at the end of the storm and allowing easy removal. of sediment. 7. Maintenance of the system will largely involve the periodic cleaning of the sediment traps in both the catch basins and junction boxes. 8. Emergency overflow for runoff from storms greater than the -designed frequency. The following considerations have been included in this design for emergency overflow conditions: (Please reference sheet 1 of the plans.). a. System of CB #1 = aB #3 Emergency overflow of this system involves minor ponding of the entrance to South Gate Drive where the storm waterwill over top the curb and be routed down an existing 270 linear foot swale in the shoulder of Ocean Harbour Drive which dis- charges to an existing pond at the rear of lot #38. b. System of CB #5-' CB#11 Emergency overflow of this system will involve surcharging or head water build up at the frame and grate of CB #6 located on South Gate Extension. South Gate Extension has a "downward grade" toward South Gate Drive which in turn slopes down to the intersection of South Gate Drive and Harbour Watch Drive. During emergency overflow conditions storm water will "back out'.' of the frame and grate at CB #6 and be conveyed along the curb and gutter -to the catch basins located at the intersection of South Gate Drive and Harbour Watch Drive. The emergency overflow for the catch basins at this intersection is described below. C. System of CB #12 - CB #17 Emergency overflow of this system will occur at CB #14. (See detail'on right of Sheet 1.) A brick weir will be installed in this catch basin to isolate the exfiltration system from the 18" RCP which outfalls to the existing channel between lot numbers 6 and 7. This weir has been designed from the catch basin bottom to 6 inches above the top of the perforated pipe in the exfiltration.trench. The weir at this elevation will allow complete saturation of -the exfiltration trench which is .necessary to produce the designed performance of this system. During overflow conditions storm water will "over top" the weir and be discharged via the 18" pipe and down the grass lined channel. The outlet of the 18" pipe will be equipped with outlet stabilization, per the detail on Sheet 51 which will prevent scouring of the -grass lined channel. d. System of JB #18 - JB #20* Emergency overflow of this system will involve "surcharging" or head water build up until overflow occurs out of the frame and grate of JB #20. The frame and grate of this junction box will have a grate with holes and since the grate of this junction box is set 6 inches lower than the. other, two. boxes in this system, storm water will overflow this grate and sheet flow down 400 feet of the side yard along lot #11. Stormwater Calculations: The following nine pages comprise the calculations that were performed in the design of this storm water management system. Table #1 which follows, is a summary of the hydro - graphs for each of the drainage areas. The remaining eight pages describe the design of each portion of the-exfiltra- tion system. Each drainage area (i.e. RAI) has its sheet of calculations along with a corresponding hydrograph which graphically represents the performance and required storage of each portion of the system. Conclusion: This drainage plan represents a somewhat innovative approach to design of the "Low Density Development with Curb and Gutter". In preparing this design, we have attempted to exercise care in creating a'project design that would both fulfill our client's vision and comply with the intent of the laws of North Carolina. The design of the "exfiltration system" is based on sound engineering principles with a conservative approach. In the preceding calculations, a permeability of 40 inches per hour was used instead of a larger value which our percolation tests yielded in the field. Additionally, within each portion of the exfiltration system there exists surplus storage above the volume required and lastly, the emergency overflow from each of these systems will provide a safe and adequate discharge of storm water for events greater than the design frequency. In conclusion we would also like to note, that 100 percent of the 10 year events runoff from the directly connected.impervious surfaces will be treated by this system.

Klein, P.E., with Wrightsville Engineering Services, regarding the proposed Plan of Action, filed in response to the Notice of Violation dated February 7, 2001. Mr. Klein indicates that this will be a two-phase process, and up to 90 days may be needed to complete the Information gathering for the first phase, after which you wish to reassess your options. The Division is willing to allow you some time for information gathering, however, we feel that both the information gathering and the reassessment of your options can take place withing 60 days. There are pending sales in the subdivision that necessitate the speedy resolution of this situation. Given that this process was started almost 1 year ago, a fair amount of time has already elapsed for the gathering of information. Further delays are unnecessary and unwarranted. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

As I previously explained, this firm represents W.M. Stanaland Estates, Inc. and Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. and we have been asked to address some concerns you raised in your last letter. Since Darius Stanaland does not receive mail at the 625 Sea Mountain Highway address that you sent your letter to, I would appreciate you sending any further correspondence relating to these corporations to me at my Myrtle Beach Office. In reading your November 27, 2000 letter, it appears that you may have some misconceptions and erroneous information regarding the infiltration system on Mr. Hunkele's property. In the first paragraph of your letter, you stated that my clients' corporations did not have an easement on Mr. Hunkele's property to install an infiltration system. This is in error because when the system in question was being put in, Mr. Hunkele did not own the property, so naturally there was no need to have an easement. Tle property was in fact owned by Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. at the time in question. Another issue my clients took exception with was your statement that my clients had not addressed a past citation they had been given regarding the infiltration system not having the required vegetated filter. My clients assure me that they had in fact fixed this problem at the time they State of NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources ATTN: Mr. Rick Shiver December 11, 2000 Page 2 had been made aware of its existence. While my clients had ownership of the property, they always tried to comply with any and all requirements of NCDE&R. The last issue my clients had with your latest letter was your assertion that my clients claimed that W.M. Stanaland Estates, Inc. is a defunct corporation. W.M. Stanaland Estates, Inc. is an active and viable corporation and is still very much in existence. However, as I have stated to you before, this corporation and Ocean Harbour Estates, Inc. currently have no ownership interest in the land that is at the heart of this matter. They have not had ownership of this land for a number of years now and therefore they are in no position to do any work upon this land. Any problems that may exist with this land were not caused by these corporations and therefore they feel that they should have no further responsibility with regards to this matter. As I have offered in the past, I will be happy to further discuss this matter with you at your earliest convenience. I would suggest that the best way to accomplish this would be to arrange for a conference call between the two of us together with Vaughn Stanaland, who also has some knowledge regarding the events in questions. Please feel free to contact my office at your convenience to schedule such a conference call and hopefully we will be able to bring this matter to a resolution. I look forward to hearing from you at that time. With kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, Mark A.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources 127 Cardinal Drive Ext Wilmington, NC 28405 Rick, I appreciated you taking the time to speak with me today concerning the storm drainage problem in front of my lot (Lot #10 at Ocean Harbor Estates). I have owned this lot over three years and since we have changed our retirement plans, we have it on the market. We have accepted an offer and we were scheduled to close on January 29`h or 30". But because of the drainage problem, it is preventing the transaction. This situation is causing me a financial loss for each day that passes. I have spoken with my attorney and I have provided him with all the information that was provided to me relevant to this problem. It is my attorney's opinion, no one should have tampered with the drainage pipes - not the owner of Lot #11 or Mr. Standaland. By tampering with the drainage system. and by removing the pipes, it has caused water to overflow at the curb and onto my lot. I am told that North Carolina law prevents anyone tampering with or doing anything to alter storm water run-offand that they are liable; and that I have a legal remedy. I know in my discussions with you, you have assured me that the situation is not in compliance and your department is taking action to bring the responsible parties into compliance. I am attaching copies of the recorded restrictive covenants pages 20 and 21 for your review. Please bring this matter to the appropriate people at tomorrows meeting. 01/30/2001 16:02 910-483-6524 MRI PAGE 03 thereto.

System is designed to draw down the design storage volume to the proposed bottom elevation under seasonal high water conditions within five days based upon infiltration through the bottom only (a hydrogeologic evaluation may be required). g. Soils have a minimum hydraulic conductivity of 0.52 inches per hour. h. System is not sited on or in fill material or DWQ approval has been obtained. i. Plans ensure that the installed system will meet design specifications (constructed or restored) upon initial operation once the project is complete and the entire drainage area is stabilized. j. System is sized to take into account the runoff at the ultimate built -out potential from all surfaces draining to the system, including any off -site drainage. k. System is located in a recorded drainage easement for the purposes of operation and maintenance and has recorded access easements to the nearest public right-of-way. 1. System captures and infiltrates the runoff from the first 1.0 inch of rainfall (1.5 inch event for areas draining to SA waters ). m. Drainage area for the device is less than 5 acres. n.

UNDERGROUND INFILTRATION TRENCH OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass/overflow structure for blockage and deterioration and the infiltration system for erosion, trash accumulation, grass cover, and general condition. 2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash and blockages as needed to maintain system performance. 3. Remove accumulated sediment annually or when depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. Restore depth to original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. 4. The water level in any monitoring wells will be recorded after a 1 inch rainfall event and at least once a month. Chronic high water table elevations (within 1 foot of the bottom of the system for a period of three months) shall be reported to DWQ immediately. 5. If DWQ determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired or replaced to original design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved. and constructed. 6. Remove accumulated sediment from the infiltration system annually or when depth in the unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the infiltration system. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. ti When the depth at the benchmark reads O , the accumulated sediment shall be removed from the system.

Date: x G / (a, -1f Form SWU-101 Version 3.99 Page 4 of 4 November 18, 1998 Mr. Cal Hunkele PO Box 6838 South Brunswick, NC 28470 Dear Cal, OCEAN HARBOUR E S T A T E S Thank you for your letter of November 14th . I am forwarding copies of your letter to Nester Stanaland and Scott Stewart, our other directors, along with this reply. Along with you, I believe communication is an important aspect of our business and so I am also copying your letter and this reply to our property management company (Ally) with a request to incorporate all relevant information for 1998 in a newsletter to be included in the information packet for our annual meeting. In our most recent phone conversation I mentioned that both of your concerns were being addressed. Specifically, the cul-de-sac drainage and the matter of your driveway. Those concerns are still being addressed but I can share further information with you even though I cannot be specific with regard to dates. It is my feeling that the slope of your driveway (where it meets the curb) was a choice made by you or your contractor. Your driveway was built after the roadway and curb. Neither the curb or roadway has changed since your driveway was installed. I agree that you have a reason to be concerned in that cars cannot enter your driveway at a reasonable speed without scraping. I do not believe the association or developer should be held accountable for correcting your driveway because neither exercised control in the construction process. Understanding your concerns, however, I believe the association should take this matter into account if the cul-de-sac drainage issue results in a removal of a section of your driveway. I will encourage the directors to correct both matters at the same time, as I promised you I would do, if one impacts the other. The cul-de-sac drainage issue, as you recall, was a problem created as a result of your septic field installation. Prior to that event there was no drainage problem within the cul-de-sac. Unfortunately, the resolution to this matter rests with our engineering firm and with governmental agencies. In a nutshell, the engineer must design a suitable solution which must be approved by the appropriate authority. I understand' and empathize with your frustration in this matter and share your implicit questioning about whether anything is really being done. I apologize for the delay but ask for your patience as we work out a permanent solution that will cause no further problems. Regarding the other topics you mentioned: "L"""'Ma,Uo'untain Highway • North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582 • 1-800-249-2100 • 1-803-249-2100 far -2- The fence along Ocean Harbour Drive is completed. The funding for the construction of the fence was provided by Stanaland Stewart Company and Mr. Poff, not through association funds. Fence maintenance will be an association responsibility as the fence (like the columns) are within an association easement area. Whether or not to paint, for instance, will be an association decision that will be based, partly, on the residents desires. Hurricane Bonnie caused a number of problems to the association grounds and to individual lot owners. Personally, the damage on our -lots was in excess of $6, 000.00. The association common area expenses are $6, 500.00 to -date and the work is still not complete. We have reviewed each lot and received pricing for what it will take to restore each to "Pre -Bonnie" condition. That information will be forwarded to each lot owner along with a letter giving the owner the choice of utilizing our suggested provider or handling 'the cleanup themselves, in accordance with association guidelines. The mailbox design was approved by the board of directors in accordance with our association's governing documents. All directors are lot owners. There is no requirement that you or any owner use the vendor that we suggested. You may build the mailbox yourself or have someone else build it for you. You may opt for no mailbox at all. The pricing is, however, for a completely finished product that is very attractive, approved, and well -constructed. I estimated that I could probably build the mailbox for about half the cost priced but I would probably spend a lot of time (woodworking skills are quite novice) and I would not be nearly as happy with the result. As I mentioned earlier, I believe communication is important. I also believe that owners willing to participate should be given ample opportunity to do so. For better or for worse (depending on your opinion) property owner associations are set up like our government. An association mimics a republic in that the members elect directors and directors run the affairs (with assistance from managers or committees) on behalf of their members. Directors have an obligation to the membership that is governed by the deed restrictions (declaration) and by the by-laws. Directors' jobs can be rewarding but are typically thankless. I'll close by letting you know that we are in the process of formulating our 1999 association budget, corresponding with lot owners about cleanup, working to resolve the drainage issue, and exploring other ways to maintain or enhance all of our property values. As well, we will be soon setting the date for our annual meeting where all are welcome to participate in the election of new directors, among other association matters. I hope this addresses your concerns and I'd like you to feel free to call me anytime at (800) 249-2100, extension 3033. HUNKLE=ALEMGMT/OHE ,p 1, -3- Sincerely, Ocean Harbour Estates Association, Inc.

Allen Jeffcoat Ally Property Management 1. a OCEAN E S T May 4, 1998 Mr. Cal Hunkele PO Box 6838 South Brunswick, NC 28470 Dear Cal, iARBOUR A T E S Thank you for your letter of April 29, 1998. I too am excited that we are neighbors and would like to welcome you to Ocean Harbour Estates. I hope you enjoy many years here in good health and happiness. In reviewing the Architectural Guidelines, Section VI, 6.1, the first sentence of the paragraph states the purpose for the bond is "...to assure completion of all improvements, including landscaping, within the time periods required." The bond is to assure an appealing exterior presence of both the home and the land. Since this requirement has been adhered to with other properties, I'm sure you can understand why it is prudent to maintain such a standard. We will work with you regarding the completion time because I certainly understand your situation and concur that high water levels can be a detriment to landscaping improvements. Please don't rush your improvements out of a concern that your bond will be forfeited. I'm sure all would agree that you have encountered an unexpected situation. The storm drainage system was installed in accordance with the plans and specifications certified by a professional engineer and approved by the necessary authorities. In that sense, I do not believe the high water level you speak of is a result of the storm drainage system but rather the natural underground flow of the water from uphill to lower areas. I do not recall our discussing the matter, but I am aware that Vaughn discussed the function of the system with the engineer prior to your purchasing the property so he could honestly and intelligently answer your questions. It is difficult to imagine Vaughn telling you that "none of the storm drain basins or lines were active." The very purpose of the basins and the drainage system would be contrary to such a statement. In speaking with Vaughn yesterday, he said he told you that the outflow located on the westernmost corner of your property had never been utilized, even in the heaviest rains we have experienced. Our engineer, given the outstanding percolation rates for the area more than once, expressed his belief that much of the system would never be needed. We built the system according to the possibility of a deluge that we have yet to experience (even during a hurricane) .

While, according to Ocean Harbour Golf Links, the old supply line has been abandoned and is inactive the possibility could exist that the new line could have a leak. I am told that those lines are typically always maintained under pressure. While I am not an authority on golf course irrigation systems, it would seem to me that a leak in a line that is kept under pressure could create quite a problem. You might find it comforting to query the golf course regarding such a possibility and, if a leak existed, how it would be detected. I shared your letter with Vaughn and he still believes, as I do, that the drain lire did little, if anything, to contribute to your water problem. Given our views, I believe his offer to wall the access to the section of the drain along the perimeter of your iot was very generous and eliminates the possibility of any water entering that section further. Since the water will not be able to reach the area in question, I see no purpose in removing any further portion of the line. I would like to reiterate that the Association at no time represented that the drainage lines or basins were inactive - either to you or anyone else. The storm drainage system is designed to remove surface water (and thus be active) during rainy weather and be dormant (inactive) during dry weather. Vaughn's observations regarding the outflow on the corner of your property were quite accurate and his views were honest, in good faith, and in no way misleading. Vaughn and I will continue to work with you with great care, exercising diligence .and honesty as we have done heretofore. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of further assistance.

Re: Ocean Harbour Estates Stormwater Project # 931204 Brunswick County Plan of Action Dear Mr. Shiver: It is Mr. Stanaland's intent to comply with all the regulations for the State of North Carolina and it was an oversight by the contractor in running the pipe so close to SA waters. Our plan of action to correct the matter is as follows: 1. Remove the rip rap from around the end of the pipe, seal the end of the pipe with a glued cap and bury the end of the pipe. 2. Proceed upstream of the pipe to a distance of at least 50, from the critical line and construct an overflow structure on the pipe, to allow excess flow to overflow across the vegetated area. 3. The swale between the overflow and the critical line will be vegetated with a permanent stand of grass. This swale will be adjacent to the new wooden walk. 4. This plan will be put into effect by February 15, 1996 provided it is acceptable to the agency. ENGINEERING / LAND PLANNING / SURVEYING Founders Centre, Suite 304 2411 N.

The annual assessment shall be for the calendar year and shall be due at such time as prescribed by the Board. Any proration of the Annual Assessment due to the transfer of a Lot shall be due at closing and shall be equivalent to a proration of the number of full months remaining in the year. Section 6. Duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Association shall fix the due date of commencement and the amount of the assessment against the Lots subject to the Association's jurisdiction for each assessment period at least thirty (30) days in advance of such date or period, and shall, at that time, prepare a roster of the properties and assessments applicable thereto which shall be kept in the office of the Association and shall be open to inspection by any Owner. Any increase in the Annual Assessment applicable to the Lots which is less than an increase of thirty (30%) percent over the immediately preceding year's assessment may be made by the Board of Directors without the consent or approval of the Members and any such increase that exceeds thirty (30%) percent, excluding insurance, reserves, utilities and Acts of God, shall be effective only if approved by not less than sixty seven (67%) percent of the Voting Members representing votes appurtenant to each Class of Membership (Class I and Class II). Written notice of assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto. The Association shall, upon demand made by the Owner at any time, furnish to any Owner liable for an assessment a certificate in writing signed by an officer of the Association, setting forth whether such assessment has been paid as to any particular Lot. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment of any assessment to the Association therein stated to have been paid. The Association shall, through the action of its Board of Directors, have the power, but not the obligation, to enter into an agreement or agreements from time to time with one or more persons, firms, or corporations for the management services of the Association. The Association shall have all other powers provided in its Articles of Incorporation and its By Laws. Section 7. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments; the Personal Obligation of the Owner, the Lien, Remedies of the Association. If any assessments are not paid when 11 due (being the date specified in Section 5 hereof), then such assessment shall become delinquent and shall, together with the maximum allowable interest by law and the cost of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, thereupon become a continuing lien on the property which shall bind such property in the hands of the then Owner, his heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors, and assigns. Every Purchaser of a Lot shall be required to determine the status of the Lot Assessment at the time of purchase and hereby agrees to have assumed any and all outstanding assessment(s) not paid by the Seller at the time of closing. Any assessment not paid when due shall be delinquent and said assessment shall bear interest from the date which due at the maximum allowable rate of interest and the Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same and/or may record a claim of lien against the property on which the assessment is unpaid, or may pursue one or more of such remedies at the same time or successively, and there shall be added to the amount of such assessment such attorneys fees and costs of preparing and filing the claim of lien and the complaint in such action, and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the assessment as above provided and a reasonable attorneys' fee to be fixed by the court together with the costs of the action, and the Association shall be entitled to attomeys' fees in connection with any appeal of any such action. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive the imposition of interest as to any delinquent assessment. The Board may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay any assessments and interest or foreclose the lien created herein in the same manner as prescribed by the laws of the State of North Carolina for the foreclosure of deeds of trust. In the event of such action at law and in the further event that such action results in a judgment being entered against the Owner and in favor of the Association, then the Association shall be further empowered to execute on that judgment in such manner and to the extent provided and permitted by the laws of the State of North Carolina. The lien of the assessments provided for herein on any Lot shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust representing a first lien on such Lot in favor of any bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or similar financial institution for the financing of construction or acquisition of improvements upon such Lot or for the refinancing of such Improvements now or hereafter placed upon any Lot, provided that such fast mortgage or deed of trust was recorded before the delinquent assessment was due. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the assessment lien, provided, however, that the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to a decree of foreclosure on a deed of trust or mortgage thereon or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability or liens arising from assessments thereafter becoming due. Any portion of the Common Areas or Properties dedicated to, and accepted by, a local public authority may be exempt from the assessments created herein in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, no land or improvements restricted to use as a Lot shall be exempt from such assessments except as otherwise provided for herein. In addition to the rights of collection of assessments stated in this Section 7, the Owner and all persons acquiring the title to or an interest in a Lot as to which the assessment is delinquent, including, without limitation, persons acquiring title by operation `Fa of law and by judicial sales, shall not be entitled to the enjoyment and use of recreational facilities, if any, or to vote upon Association matters until such time as all unpaid and delinquent assessments due and owing from the selling Owner have been fully paid and the account of the purchasing Owner are similarly satisfied.

Such entry shall not be deemed a trespass. Section 9. Effect on Declarant. Notwithstanding any provision that may be contained to the contrary in the instrument, for as long as the Declarant is the Owner of any Lot in the Properties, including those Lots acquired by Subsequent Amendment, the Declarant shall not be liable for any assessments against such Lot, provided that the Declarant funds any deficit in the annual operating expenses of the Association. Declarant may at any time and its sole discretion commence paying such assessments as to Lots that it owns and thereby automatically terminate its obligation .to fund any and all deficits of the Association and be due a refund for any payment in excess of its per lot election. The Declarant shall have the right to select its method of payment on an annual basis after being provided an annual budget by the Association. Such budget shall be prepared by the Association assuming the Declarant will pay on a per lot basis although it is not obligated to do so under the terms of this Section 9. Section 10. Exempt Property.

Each owner further covenants and agrees that in the event of a partial loss or damage and destruction resulting in less than total destruction of the structures upon his Lot, the Owner shall proceed promptly to repair or to reconstruct the damaged structure(s) in a manner consistent with the original construction as approved by the Architectural Review Board unless otherwise approved by the Architectural Review Board. In the event. that the structure is totally destroyed and the Owner determines not to repair or to reconstruct, the Owner shall clear the Lot of any and all debris and return it to the natural state in which it existed prior to the beginning of construction within ninety (90) days of the date of the destruction. Section 3. Disbursement of Proceeds. Proceeds of insurance policies shall be disbursed as follows: (a) If the damage or destruction for which the proceeds are paid is to be repaired or reconstructed, the proceeds, or such portion thereof as may be required for such purpose shall be disbursed in payment of such repairs or reconstruction as hereinafter provided. Any proceeds remaining after defraying such costs of repairs or reconstruction to the Common Area or, in the event no repair or reconstruction is made, after making such settlement as is necessary and appropriate with the affected Owner or Owners and their mortgagee(s), if any, shall be retained by and for the benefit of the Association and 23 placed in a capital improvement account. This is a covenant for the benefit of the mortgagee of a structure and may be enforced by such mortgagee. (b) If it is determined, as provided for in Section 4 of this article, that the damage or destruction to the Common Area for which the proceeds are paid shall not be repaired or reconstructed, such proceeds shall be disbursed in the manner provided for excess proceeds in Section 3(a) of this Article XQ. Section 4. Damage and Destruction.

Repair or reconstruction, as used in this paragraph, means repairing or restoring the Properties to substantially the same condition in which they existed prior to the casualty. (b) In the event that it shall be determined by the Board of Directors that the damage or destruction shall not be repaired or replaced and no alternative improvements are authorized, than an in that event the affected portion of the Properties shall be restored to its natural state and maintained by the Association in a neat and attractive manner. In no event shall a mortgagee have the right to participate in the determination of whether the Common Area or any structure thereon damaged or destroyed shall be repaired or reconstructed. Section S. Repair and Reconstruction. If the insurance proceeds paid are not sufficient to repair or reconstruct the damage or destruction then the Board of Directors shall have the authority, without the approval of the membership, to levy a special assessment against all owners equally for the purpose of making up the difference in the insurance proceeds and the amount necessary to repair or reconstruct the damage or destruction. If, however, the damage or destruction shall not be repaired or replaced then no such assessment shall be allowed without approval of at least fifty one (51%) percent of the members of the Association, in person or by proxy, at a meeting duly called for such purpose.

The Owner shall have the right, but not Obligation, to ask reasonable questions of any party offering information to the Board that pertain to the issue at hand, as determined by the Chairperson of the Board hearing. Should the Owner fail to appear at the hearing the Board shall use the information at its disposal in determining whether or not a penalty should be imposed in accordance with the Notice. No inference of guilt or innocence shall be presumed by the Board should an Owner fail to appear at the hearing. The chairperson of the Board meeting shall make the determination as to when to close the hearing. When closed, the Board shall immediately enter into private or executive session to determine whether or not the fines stated by the 25 Notice should be imposed. The Board shall notify the Owner within fourteen (14) days of the hearing date in the same manner as outlined in section (a) above of the decision of the hearing.
