State Stormwater Management Permit Number SW7051024 Modification,
as issued by the Division of Water Quality under NCAC 2H.1000.

Division of Water Quality.
e. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plans may not take
place without the concurrence of the Division of Water Quality.

front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but

and coquina, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the

impervious areas and surface waters.
i. All roof drains shall terminate at least 30 foot from the mean high water
mark.
j. Each lot, whose ownership is not retained by the permittee, shall submit a
separate stormwater permit application to the Division of Water Quality
and receive a permit prior to construction. The application shall

ARB) to review plans for compliance with the restrictions, the plans reviewed
must show all the proposed built -upon area (BUA) and the total proposed BUA
may not exceed the maximum permitted limit. Any approvals given by the ARC
or ARB do not relieve the lot owner of the responsibility to maintain compliance
with the permitted BUA limit.
14. The Director may notify the permittee when the permitted site does not meet one
or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within the time frame
specified in the notice, the permittee shall submit a written time schedule to the
Director for modifying the site to meet minimum requirements. The permittee
shall provide copies of revised plans and certification in writing to the Director

The final plats for the project will be recorded showing all such required
easements, in accordance with the approved plans.
III. GENERAL CONDITIONS
Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Qualityy,
in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The permit issued shall continue in force and effect until revoked or terminated.
The permit may be modified, revoked and reissued or terminated for cause. The
filing of a request for a permit modification, revocation and re -issuance, or
termination does not stay any permit condition.
4. 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
as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 15A of the North
Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H.1000; and North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 et. al.
The permit is not transferable to any person or entity except after notice to and
approval by the Director. The Director may require modification or revocation
and re -issuance of the permit to change the name and incorporate such other
requirements as may be necessary. A completed Name/Ownership Change
Form, signed by both parties involved, must be submitted to the Division of
Water Quality accompanied by the appropriate documentation as listed on page
2 of the form. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits, and
may or may not be approved.
6. The permittee is responsible for compliance with all permit conditions until such
time as the Division approves the permit transfer request. Conveyance of
common areas to third parties such as a homeowner's association, by the
permittee where the required Name/Ownership documentation has not been
submitted to and approved by the Division, does not constitute transfer of the
stormwater permit, and does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility for
maintaining compliance with the permit or transferring the permit.
7. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with
any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by
other government agencies (local, state and federal), which have jurisdiction. If
any of those permits result in revisions to the plans, a permit modification must
be submitted.
8. The permittee grants permission to DENR Staff to enter the property during
business hours for the purposes of inspecting the stormwater management
system and its components.
9. The permittee shall notify the Division of Water Quality in writing of any name,
ownership or mailing address changes at least 30 days prior to making such
changes.
Permit issued this the 6th day of February, 2009.
