I went to that BSL site this a.m. to set a couple of property corners on the 0.98 ac. tract. This is the first time I've been on site in several months, essentially the first time since erosion measures were becoming active. I see now we were talking about two entirely different subjects I was shocked to see what has been done on site Way above the initial and permitted scope I had no idea, please accept my apology. contacted the owner via cel phone while there, and I wasn't a very nice person. It went kinda like this, "You goofy !*#!"*#!, what kind of !*"$@! are you trying to pull here! '"Linda is going to BUST your chops!" , " And you know, she's right! and why would you make a jackass out of me!" there were more colorful metaphors during the conversation After the dust settled, he said he was as surprised as I was. It seems, the tenant, a site contractor, whom is leasing the property, had made some improvements he wasn't aware of either. Mr. Richardson was in the mind -set everything was ok with everyone, until he received your letter He was kicking back waiting for the rent checks to pour in Now he has another problem to solve. At the risk of being repetitious, I do apologize. I was in the mist on this one I mean, I saved his butt on one situation, how in the world would one crawl back into the same hole to get some morel?l Not that you need to know, but I was embarrassed.

of 1 8/14/2003 9 25 AM NARRATIVE OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN DALE RICHARDSON PROPERTY The stormwater management plan for this site consists of using dry detention to remove suspended solids from site stormwater runoff The basins are designed to capture the runoff from the first inch of rainfall, then slowly time -release the stored runoff over a period of 2-5 days Stormwater runoff from the 128 acre site will be diverted into dry detention basins using flat grass -lined diversion swales Although parking for site is unpaved, thereby allowing some level of infiltration, the stormwater calculations for this site are based on a worse -case scenario in which the entire parking area is assumed to be paved Due to site conditions / limitations, the on -site detention will consist of two separate dry detention basins connected by a pipe The `upstream' basin (or `swale area' as referenced to the design calculations) will capture runoff from the north side of the property and will provided some level of suspended solids removal through both basin shape and the intentional setting of the basin bottom slightly lower than the connecting pipe In the event that a storm exceeds the storage volume and/or the hydraulic capacity of the connecting pipe, an emergency spillway is provided for the secondary basin The runoff from the remainder of the site will be diverted in to the `downstream' basin (referenced as `basin area' in design calculations) This runoff as well as the stormwater from the `upstream' basin will be stored and released through a a/4 onfice For storm events producing runoff in excess of the 1-inch storm, the additional stormwater demand will be accommodated through a 3' primary weir in the outlet structure (Elevation 95 0') as well as an emergency spillway (weir) for storms exceeding a 100 year design storm Re NOV CV-2003-0300 t Subject: Re: NOV CV-2003-0300 Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 09 36 32 -0400 From: "TIGGER" <tigger@bcinet nets To: "Linda

action a long time ago I'll begin putting a plan together and send it in I really didnt know about any other notice Now that I am, I can get it fixed I totally understand what you're saying about "more than 1 acre" Owners point of view is actual site work was 0 98 acres Maintenance and site cleanup was a different matter At any rate, I'll begin a revised plan and get it to you a s a p ----- Original Message From Linda Lewis To TIGGER Sent Wednesday, August 13, 2003 8 37 AM Subject Re NOV CV-2003-0300 Steve You are incorrect about the 1 acre impervious threshold The law requires that any site that disturbs more than 1 acre of land must apply for and receive a Stormwater permit The fact that there was only 0 98 acres of BUA makes absolutely no difference You should know this after the Southport project Additionally, there was a notice of violation issued by Land Quality on February 24, 2003, which is the date referenced in the violation/enforcement letter from Rick Shiver Kevin chose not to follow up on that violation, but the issuance of an approved SEC plan did not address the stormwater permit requirements Linda TIGGER wrote Linda, I have the pleasure of dropping you a line again This is a new scenario though, and one that I would appreciate your help on Dale Richardson did a project in Boiling Spring Lakes earlier this year Apparently he wasn't aware he needed a sediment and erosion control permit The project were any impervious surfaces were being built was on tract 1, and only 0 98 acres The balance, tract 2, of the property he cleaned up undergrowth and cleaned out a drainage ditch The total amount disturbed crossed the 1 acre threshold with the D L R , thus a plan was prepared, reviewed,and approved Permit number BR-03190, March 28, 2003 However, the 1 acre threshold for site improvement having new impervious area, tract 1, is only 0 98 acres, and thus exempt from a storm water permit Carol Miller or Kevin Rowland, I'm sure would be happy to discuss/show this site with you, at your office Before this gets any more convoluted, may we discuss this, please I think this is a miss -understanding, and I on behalf of my client, I would like to answer your questions, essentially turn off the faucet before it becomes a flood Some of the people there, that have had the chance to work with me, know I'm a honest person To the point of removing

Your people (Sediment and Erosion Control) had originally contacted Mr Richardson that if he would have a plan prepared, submitted, and approved on his site this would avoid him from being turned in to the enforcement division That's when I was called in, And a plan was prepared, reviewed, and approved Permit number BR-03190 was issued on March 28, 2003 Also, the site containing any new construction (impervious areas) is only 0 98 acres, not 2 acres as stated The balance (site 2) was shown so we could depict areas to be stabilized and maintained as part of a overall site maintenance operation, no impervious areas added This we have done, and even forwarded your department pictures as proof of compliance Would you be so kind to do some "in-house" investigation, and let me know what is going on, please My client is confused and upset, he was (as was 1) under the impression that he had met his permit and construction obligations as set forth on his permit And upset at the amount of money requested as a fine for an already permitted site We have kept in contact during the stabilization phase of this project, and complied with any and all of your requests and suggestions as quickly as humanly possible Would you be so kind to look into this, and get back to me, please I think, I hope this original letter is in error Thanks Steve Greer Laurie Munn <Laurie Munn a,ncmail net> Environmental Engineer 4 North Carolina Dept of Environmental and Natural Resources NCDWQ Wilmington Regional Office of 2 8/13/2003 8 08 AM NOV CV-2003-0300 i Subject: NOV CV-2003-0300 Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 15 50 45 -0400 From: "TIGGER" <tigger@bcinet net> To: "Linda Lewis" <Linda Lewis@ncmail net> Linda, I have the pleasure of dropping you a line again This is a new scenario though, and one that I would appreciate your help on Dale Richardson did a project in Boiling Spring Lakes earlier this year Apparently he wasn't aware he needed a sediment and erosion control permit The project were any impervious surfaces were being built was on tract 1, and only 0 98 acres The balance, tract 2, of the property he cleaned up undergrowth and cleaned out a drainage ditch The total amount disturbed crossed the 1 acre threshold with the D L R , thus a plan was prepared, reviewed,and approved Permit number BR-03190, March 28, 2003 However, the 1 acre threshold for site improvement having new impervious area, tract 1, is only 0 98 acres, and thus exempt from a storm water permit Carol Miller or Kevin Rowland, I'm sure would be happy to discussishow this site with you, at your office Before this gets any more convoluted, may we discuss this, please I think this is a miss -understanding, and I on behalf of my client, I would like to answer your questions, essentially turn off the faucet before it becomes a flood Some of the people there, that have had the chance to work with me, know I'm a honest person To the point of removing myself from a project once I suspected things werent being done right Again, there is no slight of hand here I do respect that you have a lob to do, and know the pressure associated with it Thanks Steve 1 of 1 8/13/2003 8 37 AM Re BSL Subject- Re: B.S.L.
