MODIFICATION For
Subject: Stormwater Permit No. SW7080717
Harvey Point— PBI Site Expansion
Overall Low Density Commercial Development
with an Area of High Density
Perquimans County
The Washington Regional Office received a request to modify the subject permit for the
Harvey Point PBI Site Expansion on April 4, 2017. Staff review of the plans and
specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, will comply with the
Stormwater Regulations set forth in Session Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC
2H.1000. We are forwarding Permit No. SW7080717, dated May 11, 2017, for the
construction of the subject project.
This permit replaces the previous stormwater permit for this project, and shall be
effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2021, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the
Operation and Maintenance requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an
adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management
system will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you
have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-
7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please
contact this office at [phone].

development with (2) constructed wetlands in compliance with the provisions of Session
Law 2008-211 and 15A NCAC 2H .1000 (hereafter referred to as the "stormwater
rules') and the approved stormwater management plans and specifications and other
supporting data as attached and on file with and approved by the Division of Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit replaces the previous stormwater permit for this project, and shall be
effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2021, and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of stormwater
described in the application and other supporting data. The total project site is
85.5 acres; with a proposed impervious area of 11.56 acres; and a future
allowable impervious area of 8.96 acres.
The built -upon area percentage for the low density portion of this project must be
maintained at 24% per the requirements of Session Law 2008-211 and 15A
NCAC 2H .1000.
The stormwater systems proposed to treat the runoff generated by the
designated high density area has been approved for the management of
stormwater runoff as described in Section 1.6 on page 3 of this permit.
This project will maintain a minimum 50 foot wide vegetated buffer between all
impervious areas and surface waters on new development and a minimum 30
foot wide vegetated buffer on all existing and previously permitted impervious
areas.
5. Within the low density portions of the permitted project, the only runoff
conveyance systems allowed will be vegetated conveyances such as swales with
minimum side slopes of 3:1 (H:V) as defined in the stormwater rules and as
shown on the approved plan.
