Lewis Road Dry Stack 579 Lewis Road, Hampstead, Pender County FOR THE construction, operation and maintenance of four (4) areas of permeable pavement ("stormwater control measures" or "SCMs") discharging to Class SA-HQW waters in compliance with the provisions of Title 15A NCAC 2H .1000 effective January 1, 2017 (the "stormwater rules") and as outlined in the application, approved stormwater management plans, supplement, calculations, operation and maintenance agreement, recorded documents, specifications, and other supporting data (the "approved plans and specifications") as attached and/or on file with and approved by the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (the "Division" or "DEMLR"). The project shall be constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with these approved plans and specifications. The approved plans and specifications are incorporated by reference and are enforceable part of this permit This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 25, 2025 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations. The permit issued shall continue in force and effect until the permittee files a request with the Division for a permit modification, transfer, renewal, or rescission; however, these actions do not stay any condition. The issuance of this permit does not prohibit the Director from reopening and modifying the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or terminating the permit for cause as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and NCGS 143-215.1 et.al. I. DESIGN STANDARDS This permit is effective only with respect to the management and volume of stormwater described in the approved plans and specifications. The maximum amount of built -upon area (BUA) allowed for the entire project is 21,840 square feet, comprised of proposed asphalt and sidewalk that is "adjacent" the permeable pavement areas. A total of 8,610 square feet of impervious area currently exists on site. After development, there will be 3,810 sf of existing BUA remaining on site. Of that 3,810 sf, 810 sf of roof area from the existing Ship's Store will be directed to SCM502 via a piped roof drain. The remaining 3,000 sf of existing BUA is comprised of the remaining Ship Store roof and surrounding gravel area that will not be treated. 2. The drainage areas for the on -site stormwater systems will be limited to the amounts of BUA indicated in this permit and the approved plans and specifications. The runoff from all BUA within the permitted drainage areas of this project must be directed into the permitted SCMs. The stormwater control measures labeled SCM500, SCM501, SCM502 and SCM503 have been designed using the runoff volume match method. The pre -development runoff fate of the total rainfall volume of 31,083 cubic feet (cf) is 28,255 cf, via natural infiltration & evapotranspiration (ET), which leaves 2,828 cf untreated. The post -development runoff fate for the permeable pavement areas is a total of 15,785 cf; and the runoff fate for natural infiltration & ET is a total of 14,631 cubic feet, leaving 667 cubic feet untreated, which is less than the 2,828 cf of untreated pre -developed volume. Page 1 of 5 Post -Construction Stormwater Management Permit No. SW8 170721 3. Where a project or lot is located within CAMA's Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) may calculate a different maximum built -upon area based on CAMA regulations. The more restrictive BUA limit of DCM or DEMLR will apply to the project. A 50-foot-wide vegetative setback must be provided and maintained adjacent to all surface waters, measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded structures, from the top of bank of each side of streams or rivers, and from the mean high waterline of tidal waters, perpendicular to the shoreline in accordance with the stormwater rules and the approved plans and specifications. The setback currently contains 3,810 sf of water -dependent existing BUA. 5. The four (4) permeable pavement stormwater control measures SCM500, SCM501, SCM502 and SCM503 are permitted based on the MDC listed in NCAC 02H.1050 and NCAC 02H.1055, and as presented in the sealed, signed and dated Storm-EZ application, the calculation documents, and as shown on the approved plans and specifications. 6. The permitted stormwater control measures must be provided and maintained at the design condition with the following limitations: SCM500 SCM501 SCM502 SCM503 a. Area of permeable pavement (sf): 12845 8400 5580 3535 b. Adjacent BUA (sf): 6600 4600 5530 3350 c. Aggregate depth (inches): 6 6 8 8 d. Design Storm (inches): 3.75 3.75 3.75 3.75 e. Volume stored in aggregate (cf): 2569 1680 1488 943 f. Time to draw down (<72 hours): 24 24 24 24 g. SHWT separation (ft): 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 This project has achieved runoff volume match. Any excess runoff volume within the four (4) permeable pavement areas that is not infiltrated within 72 hours, must be released at a non - erosive velocity at the edge of the vegetated setback. 8. This project does not propose any new stormwater outlet discharge points and therefore will not have the opportunity to cause erosion during the 10-year storm event. Runoff from a portion of the existing roof of the Ship's Store and the existing gravel parking will continue to discharge as it was before. The stone base material used under the permeable pavement areas shall be a washed aggregate. 10. The soil subgrade slope under the permeable pavement shall be less than or equal to 2%. 11. SCM502 captures the runoff from 810 square feet of existing rooftop (<1000 so that is piped and discharged directly into the aggregate base of the SCM502 permeable pavement and does not require screening. 12. The amount of adjacent BUA treated in any one of the permeable pavement area may not exceed a 1:1 ratio of adjacent BUA to permeable pavement area. 13. The project proposes a 278' x 42' area of #57 stone, laid 4 inches thick over a geotextile fabric, located under the open dry stack rack and is not counted as BUA. 14. This project proposes a boat wash area. None of the wash water runoff shall enter the permeable pavement. 15, Each permeable pavement area shall have at least one capped observation well placed at the lowest point in the system. Page 2 of 5 Post -Construction Stormwater Management Permit No. SW8 170721 II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE The permeable pavement shall infiltrate the 1 year 24-hour pre/post volume difference in less than 72 hours, and shall infiltrate the 10-year, 24-hour storm event without discharging. The Permeable Pavement areas shall be protected from sediment deposition from adjacent pervious areas. The soil subgrade for the permeable pavement shall be graded when there is no precipitation. During construction, erosion shall be kept to a minimum and any eroded areas of the on -site stormwater system will be repaired immediately. If the stormwater system is used as an Erosion Control device, it must be restored to design condition prior to operation as a stormwater treatment device, and prior to occupancy of the facility. All stormwater control measures, stormwater collection systems vegetated conveyance systems, and/or maintenance accesses must be located in public rights -of -way, dedicated common areas that extend to the nearest public right-of-way, and/or permanent recorded easements that extend to the nearest public right-of-way for the purpose of inspection, operation, maintenance, and repair. 6. The permittee shall provide and perform the operation and maintenance necessary, as listed in the signed Operation and Maintenance Agreement, to assure that all components of the permitted on -site stormwater system function at the approved design condition. The approved Operation and Maintenance Agreement is incorporated by reference into this permit and must be followed in its entirety and maintenance must occur at the scheduled intervals. The operation and maintenance agreement must be recorded with the Office of the Register of Deeds. 8. Records of maintenance activities must be kept and made available upon request to authorized personnel of the Division. The records will indicate the date, activity, name of person performing the work and what actions were taken. 9. The final plats for the proiect must be recorded with the Office of the Register of Deeds. The recorded plat must reference the Operation and Maintenance Agreement and must also show all public rights -of -way, dedicated common areas, and/or permanent drainage easements, in accordance with the approved plans. 10. The permittee is responsible for verifying that the proposed built -upon area for the entire project does not exceed the maximum allowed by this permit. 11. Upon completion of the project, the permittee shall determine whether or not the project is in compliance with the permitted plans and take the necessary following actions: a.

CREATION OF LIEN AND/OR SECURITY INTEREST. Recognizing that proper management of the Facility requires the continuing payment of costs and expenses therefor by the Class A Members, that proper operation and maintenance of the Facility results in benefits to all of the Members, and that the payment of the common expenses represented by the assessments levied and collected by the Board is necessary in order to preserve and protect the property of the Members, the Corporation is hereby granted a lien and security interest, in each instance, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, upon each Class A Membership, which lien and security interest shalt secure and does secure the monies due for all assessments now or hereafter levied against the owner of such Membership which lien and security interest shall also secure interest, if any, which may be due on the amount of any delinquent assessments owing to the Corporation, and which lien and security interest shall also secure all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) which may be incurred by the Corporation in securing the payment of such assessment or enforcing this lien and security interest upon the Membership. The lien and security interest granted to the Corporation may be foreclosed in any manner permitted by applicable law, and in any suit for the foreclosure of that lien or security interest, the Corporation shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for that Membership. The lien and security interest granted to the Corporation shall further secure such advances for taxes and payments on account of superior liens, security interests, or encumbrances which may be required to be advanced by the Corporation in order to preserve and protect its lien and security interest, and the Corporation shall further be entitled to interest at the rate prescribed above on any such advances made for such purpose. All persons, firms, or corporations who shall acquire, by whatever means, any interest in the ownership of any Membership, or who may be given or acquire a security interest, lien, or other encumbrance thereon, are hereby placed on notice of the lien and security interest rights granted to the Corporation, and shall acquire such interest in any Membership expressly subject to such lien and security interest rights. Section 10: LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST NOT EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Whenever any Membership may be licensed, sold, assigned or pledged by the owner thereof, the Corporation, upon written request of the transferring Member, shall furnish to the proposed licensee, purchaser or pledgee, a statement verifying the status of payment of any assessment which shall be due and payable to the Corporation in connection with such Membership. Such statement shall be signed by any officer of the Corporation, and any licensee, purchaser, or pledgee may rely upon such statement in concluding the proposed license, purchase, or pledge/security interest transaction. In any voluntary conveyance of a Membership, the purchaser thereof shall be jointly and severally liable with the seller or transferor for all unpaid obligations against such seller or transferor made prior to the time of such voluntary conveyance, without prejudice to the rights of the purchaser to recover from seller or transferor the amounts paid by purchaser therefor. Institution of a suit at law to attempt to effect collection of the payment of any delinquent assessment, attorney's fees, interest and costs shall not be deemed to be an election by the Corporation which prevents the Corporation from thereafter seeking, by foreclosure or similar action, enforcement of the collection of any sums remaining owing to it, nor shall any proceeding by foreclosure or similar to attempt such collection be deemed to be an election precluding the institution of a suit at law to collect any sums then remaining owing to the Corporation. 10 Bk 4764 Pg 403 Section 11: CHARTER MEMBER'S OBLIGATION FOR ASSESSMENTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Charter Member shall not be liable for regular assessments or special Assessments on any Memberships it owns during any period for which the Charter Member elects to fund the shortfall, if any, under the Corporation's general operating budget, such shortfall to be calculated as the amount by which the sum of general operating expenses incurred by the Corporation plus budgeted contributions to reserves exceeds the general assessments and special assessments receivable from other Owners plus other income of the Corporation, exclusive of cash advances by the Charter Member ("Excess Operating Expenses"). To the extent that the Excess Operating Expenses funded by the Charter Member pursuant to this Section exceed the assessments that would otherwise be payable by the Charter Member on Memberships which it owns, the Charter Member may treat such excess as a loan to be repaid by the Corporation out of any cash surplus in the current or future fiscal years or as an advance against future assessments levied on Memberships owned by the Charter Member during any period for which the Charter Member elects to pay assessments in lieu of funding shortfalls. The Charter Member shall be deemed to have elected to fund shortfalls unless and until it otherwise advises the Corporation in writing and may change such election, to be effective prospectively or retroactively, at any time. Regardless of the Charter Member's election under this subsection, any of the Charter Member's financial obligations to the Corporation may be satisfied in the form of cash, by "in kind" contributions of services or materials, or by a combination of these.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the foregoing limitations be deemed to limit or preclude the right of the Charter Member to lease any right to use a Boat Bay License to any end -user, whether such right arises under a Charter Membership or Class A Membership held by the Charter Member. Section 4: LIVE ABOARD. Staying overnight on a vessel at the Facility is prohibited. Section 5: LENGTH, HEIGHT, WIDTH AND WEIGHT LIMITATIONS.

The Corporation shall have the right to enforce, by any proceeding at law or in equity, all restrictions, conditions, covenants, reservations, liens and charges now or hereafter imposed by or under the provisions of this Declaration. Failure of the Corporation to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter. Section2: SEVERABILITY. In validation of any one of these covenants or restrictions by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any other provision, which shall remain in ftill force and effect. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Declaration and the provisions of the Bylaws and/or the Rules and Regulations issued pursuant hereto, the provisions of this Declaration shall control.
