Director Division of Water Quality November 4, 2004 Mr. Alan McGwier 906 Bayshore Drive Wilmington, NC 28411 Subject: Williamsburg Place Pond Stormwater Project No. SW8 940820 New Hanover County Dear Mr. McGwier The Division acknowledges your request to inform the Williamsburg Place HOA and the NorthChase HOA of the intended actions of the Division regarding this detention pond. On October 5, 1994, the Division issued a stormwater management permit for the Williamsburg Place project to Dean Potter and Gateway Development, Inc. A portion of the proposed development was completed. At some point, Mr. Potter went out of business and transferred the undeveloped portion of the project to Mrs. Delores Ryals McGwier as repayment of a business loan. The pond was not mentioned in the transaction, nor did Mr. Potter submit the necessary paperwork to the Division to transfer the maintenance of the pond to the homeowners. The Division conducted a compliance inspection on February 8, 2001, and found several deficiencies, which were outlined in a Notice of Violation addressed to Mr. Potter. The Notice was returned unclaimed. A copy of the Notice was sent to Dave Latham with CEPCO, who provided the Division with Mrs. McGwier's name and address as the new owner of the project. Unaware of the terms of the business relationship between Mr. Potter and Mrs. McGwier, the Division sent a letter to Mrs. McGwier requesting that the violations be addressed, that a permit modification be submitted to address the proposed development, and that she negotiate with the HOA to have them take over the permit. The runoff from Williamsburg Place is treated in the pond. While the original permittee did not fulfill his part of the permit bargain, he is long gone, and the Division is unable to ascertain his wherabouts. The HOA benefits from this pond and could be held responsible for paying its fair share of routine maintenance and its prorated cost of this latest effort on your part to bring it into compliance. The HOA is technically in violation of NCGS 143-215.1 because their runoff is being treated in a pond that they do not hold a valid permit for. You indicated to me that you acted with the full knowledge of the HOA and was under the impression that the HOA was going to reimburse you a prorated portion of the cost to bring the pond into compliance, however, you have no documentation to support this claim. I recommend arbitration so that the two of you can have a neutral third party make the necessary decision on who is responsible for maintaining the pond and how to allocate the fair cost of maintaining it. Whether the permit is issued to you or to the HOA does not matter to the Division, but somebody needs to step up and take over the permit for this pond soon.

Klimek, P.E.,Dlrector Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Qualitv I received the revised plan of Williamsburg Place showing the ditches, the revised outlet structure detail and your proposed development. Please provide another copy of that plan, as only 1 set was delivered. As previously discussed at our meeting in October, you must apply for a separate offsite permit to drain your project into the Williamsburg Place pond. I understand that you have also made arrangements with NorthChase HOA to sigh the O&M and pay your fair share of the maintenance costs associated with your development. The original permit included the runoff from your development to be treated in the wet pond. The plan from Hanover Design Services indicates that there is a total built -upon area of 137,200 ft2 for the entire Williamsburg project, which is 7,800 ft2 less than the permit allows. Please provide me with the name and mailing address of the president of the NorthChase Homeowner's Association. CEPCO only represents the HOA, and takes care of collecting the monthly fees and scheduling the maintenance. They are not the financially responsible party- NorthChase HOA is, or will be, as soon as they sign the O&M form. Your project may not proceed with construction until the outlet structure revisions are done, NorthChase accepts the pond maintenance responsibility, and you have applied for and received an offsite permit.

Craig is in agreement that my suggestion for modifying the existing box in its present location will work and he is in the process of re -drawing the plan to show those changes. He should have the drawing ready within the next couple of weeks Timothy DeMayo, who is with CEPCO, the management company for the Williamsburg Place HOA, and I met at Williamsburg Place and discussed the work that needs to be done to bring the pond into compliance. DeMayo said that North Chase HOA would be taking over the responsibility for the pond as they maintain all of the ponds in the subdivision. North Chase has actually been handling the routine maintenance of the pond for several years now even though the permit has never been transferred over to them. It is my understanding that once the plans are received from Craig Wayne, North Chase HOA will have the necessary work completed to bring the pond into compliance with state regulations. Craig Wayne will then certify the pond is in compliance and his certification along with an application for transfer of the permit will be submitted to your office. All of this should be completed in a timely manner. Mr. DeMayo has said he would get in touch with you as well as with Craig Wayne to get the matter taken care of. Since neither Deloris nor I own any common area in Williamsburg Place and have no responsibility for the retention pond, I consider our involvement now complete and have turned the matter over to Mr. DeMayo.

I was quite surprised to receive a NOTICE OF VIOLATION today by certified mail, indicating that the Williamsburg Place Association is in violation of stormwater permit #SW8 940820. To the best of my knowledge, the referenced permit was issued to P. Dean Potter, and the Williamsburg Place HOA is not a party to that permit. I would like to point out several facts that you may not have beer' aware of when you issued this violation to my client. The majority of these facts were transmitted to your office by phone at various times over the last four years, and again by letter to Ms. Noel Lutheran on January 15, 2003. Williamsburg Place is a neighborhood located within the NorthChase community, whose members are also members of the NorthChase Homeowners Association. Although Williamsburg Place has its own homeowners association, historically, NorthChase Homeowners Association has taken the responsibility of contracting for monthly water quality maintenance for all ponds (both permitted and amenity ponds) within the NorthChase community. In anticipation of changing retention pond maintenance contractors for 2003, 1 requested from your office (via Noel Lutheran) a copy of the permit documents for each of the permitted stormwater retention ponds. The purpose of this request was to identify exactly which ponds are permitted ponds versus amenity ponds, and to assure that the new contractor would be familiar with and adhere to the maintenance requirements found in the permits. Upon receiving the requested permit information, I discovered that none of the permits for ponds located within NorthChase were issued to the NorthChase HOA, and the permit for the Williamsburg Place stormwater management plan and detention pond remains in the name of P. Dean Potter of Gateway Development, Inc. Additionally, I noted that the project name assigned to this stormwater project, as reflected on the permit, is "NorthChase — Williamsburg Place". At -the time of our request, it was not convenient for me to personally visit your office to collect the requested information. A member of the NorthChase Board of Directors, Mr. Ron Ryan retrieved these documents from your office on my behalf. It is my understanding that Ms. Lutheran was so kind to review the permit file with Mr. Ryan, which included a discussion of outstanding fines and penalties Professional Property Management 2502 South 17th Street • Wilmington, NC 28401 • 910/395-1500 • Fax 910/395-6229 ... � �- � - ' .. "t ri. it 11; -'t �. Rick Shiver, NCDWQ March 18, 2003 Stormwater Permit No. SW8 940820 levied against Mr. Potter, the permit holder, for non-compliance issues. The purpose of my writing today is to document my client's position with respect to this permit, the prior violations and this NOTICE OF VIOLATION. As mentioned earlier, the Williamsburg Place development is located within the larger community of NorthChase. As a result of certain recitals and restrictions found in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for both NorthChase and Williamsburg Place respectively, the property owners at Williamsburg Place pay homeowner assessments to both Associations. Since the NorthChase Association is, in part, responsible for the management and maintenance of the stormwater retention ponds within the community, at some point in the development of the Williamsburg Place facility, the then developer, P. Dean Potter / Williamsburg Place LLC, approached the NorthChase Board of Directors to request that the NorthChase Association include the Williamsburg Place retention pond in its monthly water quality maintenance program. According to Mr. Potter, the purpose of this request was to assure that the property owners at Williamsburg Place received an equitable share of services from the NorthChase Association that the other property owners within NorthChase enjoy. Subsequent to Mr. Potter's request, the NorthChase FICA included this pond in its monthly water quality pond maintenance program, and has maintained that aspect of this pond for several years. However, the NorthChase Homeowners Association has never considered itself responsible for guaranteeing permit compliance on this project, as it knew that the permit remained in Potter's name, and that Potter remained responsible for the permit requirements. Additionally, the NorthChase Association was unaware that its name was associated with the "identifying caption" found on this permit, until receiving a copy of the current permit in January. With respect to the current permit and/or permit holder, it is my understanding that Gateway, Inc., Gateway Development, Inc. and/or Williamsburg Place, LLC was a business partnership between P. Dean Potter, Fredrick Block and the late Granville Ryals. I am informed that the late Mr. Ryals retained the remaining undeveloped land within the Williamsburg Place development, which has now been inherited by his wife, Ms. Delores Ryals. Further, I understand that any remaining property or dwelling unit previously owned by Gateway Development (et al) as security for development activities has been foreclosed by the respective mortgage lender(s), and the corporation is out of business. I have personal knowledge that Ms. Ryals now considers herself the "developer' of the undeveloped lots in Williamsburg Place, as she recently engaged in a conversation with the Williamsburg Place Board of Directors regarding extending the time deadline by which the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions would have extinguished the "developer's rights". Additionally, Ms. Ryals agreed to serve on the Williamsburg Place Board of Directors as a means to protect her "developer rights". I am informed that the remaining undeveloped lots have been deeded in the name of "Ryals Investments". I understand that Mrs. Ryals has voiced intent to begin construction on additional dwelling units shortly after the first of this year. Shortly after my January 151" letter to Ms. Lutheran, by letter dated February 4, 2003 Ms. Linda Lewis corresponded with Ms. Ryals regarding the condition of this retention pond, the previous violations issued for non-compliance, instructions to correct the non -compliant issues and a request to make the necessary provisions to transfer the permit to the proper party. I am informed that Ms. Ryals responded to this letter. I have requested a copy of her response from your office. Although I have not received it as yet, I understand that Ms. Ryals has taken the position that (a) the non-compliance issues Page 2 of 7 \\server\apps\wp5I\assoctns\wip1\pond\dem wbp pond.doc Rick Shiver, NCDWQ March 18, 2003 Stormwater Permit No. SW8 940820 were created by P. Dean Potter, and not of her doing; (b) that she inherited the land in satisfaction of her husband's investment in Mr. Potter's development scheme; (c) that the land upon which the pond is situated was deeded to the Williamsburg Place H.O.A. by Mr. Potter; (d) that the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Williamsburg Place make the Association responsible for the maintenance of the pond; and (e) that she is not the party responsible for correcting the violations nor the proper party to be the new permitee. With those historical facts and understandings said, let me now address the specific issues outlined in the NOTICE OF VIOLATION. I will respond to each matter in the same order they are presented in your March 131h letter. For ease of reading, the violations are found in bold print, with our response following each item in Italics. The following unpermitted modifications have been made to the plans. All modifications must be submitted to and approved by the Division prior to construction. ADMITTED. Our past experience in numerous developments and retention ponds makes us aware that any modification to a permitted plan must be approved prior to implementation. Our knowledge of this fact is exemplified by the numerous phone conversations with members of your staff during the past 4 years regarding this pond, as well as my January 15'h letter, all of which was in an attempt to assist DEM in keeping track of this permitee, and assuring that DEM would hold the responsible party responsible for the violations we knew existed. 1.a The layout of the project has been modified from what was originally approved, and an access road has been added. Neither Williamsburg Place HOA or NorthChase HOA has any knowledge of any changes or modifications to the originally permitted plan, as neither of these entities were a party to the original application, plan or implementation of the project. All preliminary and recorded plats in our possession reflect the `access road" therefore, we must assume that it was always intended to be installed by the developer of this project. Neither HOA has any knowledge that this access road was not included in the original permit application. 1.b A portion of the permitted project has been conveyed to Mrs. Deloris McGwier by Gateway, as payment for a loan made to Mr. Potter. Upon information and belief, by numerous phone calls to your office and by letter dated January 15, 2003, 1 informed your office of the transfer of this property to Ms. Ryals (McGwier). Upon information and belief, Mr. Granville Ryals was a ap rtner in Gateway. We have no knowledge of an alleged "loan" Upon information and belief, Messrs. Ryals and Block were full partners in this enterprise, and therefore should be jointly and severally liable for any violations or non-compliance actions taken by the partnership. 1.c In addition to the unpermitted access road, a ditch was added which conveys runoff to the pond. The drainage area to the pond may be affected by the addition of this ditch. I am aware that a ditch exists which collects stormwater runoff from a portion of the site and directs the flow of that runoff into the pond. We are unaware of said ditch being in violation, being unauthorized or Page 3 of 7 \\server\apps\wp51\assoctns\wip1\pond\dem wbp pond.doc Rick Shiver, NCDWQ March 18, 2003 Stormwater Permit No. S W 8 940820 being added after the permit was issued, as neither Williamsburg Place or NorthChase was involved in any part of the original application or permit. 1.d The outlet structure is not located per the approved plans. We have no knowledge of this allegation. Upon information and belief, the outfall structure has always been located in its current location. Upon information and belief, when NorthChase initially took on the 'Water quality" maintenance of this pond (as described earlier in this letter) NorthChase paid for a new trash rack to satisfy a violation issued by DEM. Mr. Potter was to reimburse NorthChase for this work. Mr. Potter has failed and refused to reimburse NorthChase, despite liens being placed on Mr. Potter's property. The last remaining lot owned by Mr. Potter, upon which a lien was filed in security for this debt, was foreclosed by the mortgage lender, which extinguished the Association's ability to collect. Neither NorthChase nor Williamsburg Place has any knowledge of the mis-placement of the outfall structure, as neither association was involved in the originally approved plan or location. Neither was either association responsible for the construction of the outfall structure. 1.e The original developer did not transfer the permit to the Williamsburg Place Owner's Association. ADMITTED. The purpose of my numerous phone calls to members of your staff, supported by my January 15th letter, was to put you on notice that the association would not accept permit transfer with the violations and non-compliance conditions. We always knew that either NorthChase or Williamsburg Place would eventually become the permitee. For the reasons outlined elsewhere in this document, neither entity should be held responsible for the violations, non-compliance issues or the corrective measures necessary to bring the pond into compliance, as neither entity was responsible for the events that resulted in the violations and/or the current condition of the pond. Routine maintenance has not been performed on the system. The water level in the pond was at the storage elevation, while the water inside the outlet structure was much lower, indicating that the orifice may be clogged. While the NorthChase Association has performed monthly "water quality" maintenance of this pond, neither NorthChase nor Williamsburg Place had any knowledge of or responsibility for the maintenance requirements reflected in this violation. Such responsibility rests with the original/current permitee, which is the party whose actions resulted in the violations. 3. The required Designer's Certification has not been submitted. Neither NorthChase nor Williamsburg Place has any knowledge of this allegation, as neither entity was involved in the original application and/or permit. Neither NorthChase or Williamsburg Place was involved in the design nor installation of any portion of this system, neither was either party responsible for engaging the design engineer or assuring the submittal of such certification. To correct these violations you must: Page 4 of 7 \\server\apps\wp5I\assoctns\wip1\pond\dem wbp pond.doc Rick Shiver, NCDWQ March 18, 2003 Stormwater Permit No. SW8 940820 It is the position of NorthChase Homeowners Association and Williamsburg Place Homeowners Association that neither of these entities caused or was responsible for the actions and/or events that led to the issuance of this NOTICE OF VIOLATION. Therefore, both these entities believe they are not responsible for the corrective actions necessary to remedy the violation. 1. Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violations and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before April 13, 2003. Neither NorthChase nor Williamsburg Place is responsible for submitting the requested `Plan of Action". Such plan should be sought and obtained from the current permitee. 2. The property has changed ownership to the Williamsburg Place Owner's Association, but Mr. Potter never transferred the stormwater permit. Since he cannot be located, and since the pond was designed to accommodate the runoff from Williamsburg Place, it will fall to the Association to submit the modification and provide for the required maintenance to the pond. Essentially, the Association is treating runoff in a pond that it was not permitted to use. Please submit a modification to the permit with Williamsburg Place Owner's Association as the applicant, to address the modified layout, additional access road, the potential change in the drainage area, and the outlet structure relocation. It is admitted that the ownership of the property has changed to Williamsburg Place HOA. As you are well aware, it is typical of developers to deed the "common area" (inclusive of the retention pond) to the HOA. Additionally, you are aware that the "stormwater maintenance requirement" found in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is a requirement that is enforced by DEM when permits are issued. I am informed by members of your staff that it is a typical ploy for developers who are aware of violations or non-compliance issues to deed the pond land to the HOA, not transfer the permit, then deny responsibility after the fact on the basis that they no longer own the land upon which the pond is situated. Mr. Potter can be located, his current contact information is: P. Dean Potter 1626 Shadyside Road Edgewater, MD 21037 work (301) 430-6267 home (410) 956-5220 Both Associations acknowledge that the pond was installed to accommodate the stormwater runoff from Williamsburg Place, however, neither Association contemplated being saddled with an expectation on the part of DEM to correct violations created by the original developer/permitee, which violations DEM has known about for years. Additionally, as Association Manager for both Associations, I feel that I went `above and beyond the call of duty" in my numerous attempts to notify your office of these violations, and to keep your staff informed of the status of Potter's development company and the successor in development rights and in title to the undeveloped land. The Association's use of the pond to treat stormwater runoff that it was not permitted to use is not a fault of the Association. The original permit was issued between DEM and P. Dean Potter (et al). The Association was not a party to that permit, the design or construction of the pond, nor the events and/or actions of the developer that lead to the violations. Therefore, neither Association has a direct liability Page 5 of 7 \\server\apps\wp5I \assoctns\wipl\pond\dem wbp pond.doc Rick Shiver, NCDWQ March 18, 2003 Stormwater Permit No. SW8 940820 for the modification of the layout, the installation of an additional access road, the potential change in the drainage area nor the relocation of an outlet structure that was constructed over eight (8) years ago. 3. Perform the required maintenance on the pond to unclog the orifice. Neither Association is aware of a clogged orifice. Upon information and belief, the outfall structure was installed with a "sumpwell" design, whereby the static water level is maintained by a `mouth"in the side of the box, and an open lid to serve as an "overflow" both openings being covered by a trash rack. While the current level of the pond may be at the "storage level", purely by its design, the outfall pipe inside the outfall structure would have a lower level than the pond, unless the downstream drainage features were clogged. To the best of my knowledge, there is no other orifice in the outtall structure other than the "mouth" which if it were clogged, would be visibly evident to the inspector. None the less, by the time you receive this letter, the NorthChase retention pond contractor will have been notified of this matter, with request to "unclog the orifice': 4. Have an appropriate design professional provide the necessary inspection for purposes of certifying the pond, and submit the written certification to the Division. For the reasons outlined above, neither NorthChase or Williamsburg Place believe they are responsible for hiring a professional engineer to certify the pond as a part of the original permit requirements. Such certification should be sought from and supplied by the current permitee. I recognize that the admonitions contained in the parting paragraphs of your letter are standard language in any NOTICE OF VIOLATION, however, as indicated earlier, such penalties do not apply to either of my clients. While both Associations are more than happy to cooperate with you and your staff to bring this unfortunate matter to a favorable resolution, and also to take responsibility for the future proper maintenance of this pond, neither of these entities is responsible for the existing violations and non-compliance matters. Since neither of these Associations was involved in the original permit, design or installation of this pond, neither were they a party to the developer's actions that lead to the violations. Therefore, it is illogical to expect either of them to be responsible for the corrective actions necessary to correct these violations. Any attempt to enforce the Divisions' regulations by way of civil or criminal penalties against either of my clients with respect to prior violations which the Division has allowed to go uncorrected for many years will be met with the strongest available legal measures. These violations obviously occurred during the period of active development of Williamsburg Place by its then developer, P. Dean Potter and his partners. Division staff knew or should have known that these violations had occurred, existed and remained unresolved, and the Division staff should have taken proper steps to correct these violations, non-compliance issues and improperly located outfall structure when the violations occurred. With all the efforts I have made on behalf of my clients to keep your staff abreast of Mr. Potter's activities, the status of his development company and the successor developer, I am appalled that you would now issue a violation to Williamsburg Place HOA with any expectation that the Association would accept responsibility for Potter's failure. Before any action is taken against Williamsburg Place or NorthChase, such action should first be initiated against Potter, Ryals and Block, as these are the partners in the entity who created this problem.

Neither Association is responsible for the financial woes of the original developer, or the desire of the current developer to escape responsibility for actions of a former partner. Since it appears that the successor developer and current titleholder of the undeveloped lots intends to continue development, my clients believe that the proper permit holder should be Ryals Investments. Additionally, my clients believe that, due to the partnership arrangement, Ryals Investments would naturally be considered the current developer, as they retain the only assets of the developer entity to which they were a party. Regardless of the method by which this undeveloped property was obtained, Ryals Investments should be considered the responsible party for all permit obligations until such time as development is complete and the pond is certified as compliant with all permit requirements. At that time, my client (Williamsburg or NorthChase) will be glad to accept transfer of permit responsibility and provide for the future ongoing maintenance per the permit requirements. At your earliest convenience, please advise of DEM's position on this matter.

The inspection was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8 940820, issued to Mr. Dean Potter, Gateway Development, Inc., on October 5, 1994. The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 940820, issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are: The following unpermitted modifications have been made to the plans. All modifications must be submitted to and approved by the Division prior to construction. a. The layout of the project has been modified from what was originally approved, and an access road has been added. b. A portion of the permitted project has been conveyed to Mrs. Deloris McGwier by Gateway, as payment for a loan made to Mr. Potter. C. In addition to the unpermitted access road, a ditch was added which conveys runoff to the pond. The drainage area to the pond may be affected by the addition of this ditch. d. The outlet structure is not located per the approved plans. e. The original developer did not transfer the permit to the Williamsburg Place Owner's Association. 2. Routine maintenance has not been performed on the system. The water level in the pond was at the storage elevation, while the water inside the outlet structure. was much lower, indicating that the orifice may be clogged. 3. The required Designer's Certification has not been submitted. X�n Nroit N.C.

Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violations and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before April 13, 2003. 2. The property has changed ownership to the Williamsburg Place Owner's Association, but Mr. Potter never transferred the stormwater permit. Since he cannot be located, and since the pond was designed to accommodate the runoff from Williamsburg Place, it will fall to the Association to submit the modification and provide for the required maintenance to the pond. Essentially, the Association is treating runoff in a pond that it was not permitted to use. Please submit a modification to the permit with Williamsburg Place Owner's Association as the applicant, to address the modified layout, additional access road, the potential change in the drainage area, and the outlet structure relocation. 3. Perform the required maintenance on the pond to unclog the orifice. 4. Have an appropriate design professional provide the necessary inspection for purposes of certifying the pond, and submit the written certification to the Division. Failure to provide the "Plan of Action" by April 13, 2003, or to correct the violations by the date designated in the "Plan of Action", are considered violations of 15A NCAC 2H.1000, and may result in the initiation of enforcement action which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil and criminal penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A. By copy of this letter to the New Hanover County Building Inspector, this Office is requesting that the Building Inspector consider withholding building permits and Certificates of Occupancy for this project until this matter is satisfactorily resolved. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Ms. Linda Lewis at (910) 395-3900.

Tony Roberts New Hanover County Building Inspections I- inda-L-ewts Central Office February 14, 2003 ] Mr. A.A. Saffo Ryals, Robinson & Saffo, P.C. PO Box 135 Wilmington, NC 28402 Subject: Pond Maintenance Williamsburg Place @NorthChase Project Number: SW8 940820 New Hanover County Dear Mr. Saffo: Thank you for responding so quickly to my letter and for the excellent information. Mr. Latham was only trying to insure that the NorthChase HOA (the larger organization to which Williamsburg Place also belongs) was not unjustly saddled with the responsibility of maintaining the pond. No information was available regarding the conditions under which Mrs. McGwier received the property, therefore, I reached the incorrect conclusion (as did Mr. Latham) that the entire property had been transferred to her and that she should be responsible. I am notifying the Williamsburg Place HOA that they must submit a modified stormwater permit application and either get the permit put in their name or negotiate with the NorthChase HOA if they want to transfer the permit and pond maintenance for Williamsburg Place. One thing that Mrs. McGwier needs to be aware of is that the October 5, 1994, plans approved by DENR show that the area of the 5 lots (Tract 1) conveyed to her by Mr. Potter is definitely a part of the approved project area for Williamsburg Place. Tract 2 also appears to be part of the Williamsburg Place project area, provided that Tract 2 is the property immediately west of and adjacent Tract 1, and contains I buildings, numbered 25, 27, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 as described on Exhibit A and as shown on the map, both included with your February 13, 2003, fax. Because both of the tracts appear to have been part of the previously approved Williamsburg Place project, both are still subject to the permit conditions which currently stipulate that the runoff from a maximum of 145,000 ftz of built -upon area will be treated in the permitted wet detention pond. Mrs. McGwier now owns portions of a previously approved project, but does not own the stormwater pond for Williamsburg Place, therefore, she must now either apply for an offsite stormwater management permit to allow her to treat the runoff from her project in the Williams- burg Place pond, or she must apply for a stormwater management,permit to construct a separate system to treat the runoff from her project. If the "assignment of development rights" does not specifically give her the right to use the Williamsburg Place pond to treat the runoff, they are under no obligation to accept it. Can you tell me if the "assignment of development rights" legally gives her the right to use the pond? If it does, is she also required to contribute her share of the maintenance costs to the Williamsburg Place HOA? Mr. Saffo February 14, 2003 Stormwater Permit Number SW8 940820 Please determine if Tract 2 of the properties conveyed to Mrs. McGwier is indeed a part of the originally approved Williamsburg Place tract, and then determine if the development rights assigned to her give her the right to use the Williamsburg Place pond to treat the runoff from her properties, and if she is responsible for contributing a share of the maintenance costs. Once these questions are answered, we can then determine the correct permitting route. I enclose an extra file copy of the approved plans for your use in making these determinations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

FE13 1 << 203 'I , I am writing on behalf of Mrs. Deloris Ryals (now Deloris McGwier) in response to your letter to her of February 4, 2003, a copy of which is attached for your reference. Mrs. McGwier takes issue with your letter wherein you claim that, as "new owner" of the Williamsburg Place development, she is responsible for maintenance and operation of the retention pond. The stormwater management permit for the development was issued to Gateway, Inc., which is a corporation owned by Mr. P. Dean Potter, who developed Williamsburg Place. Mrs. McGwier's late husband, Granville Ryals, was not Dean Potter's partner but rather he had loaned money to the project. When the project was completed, Mr. Potter defaulted on the loan. Mr. Ryals then passed away, and Mrs. Ryals sought to collect what Potter owed. Because Potter did not have the money to pay, he conveyed to Mrs. Ryals Lots 19, 21, 23, 28 and 30, Phase 1, Section 8, of Williamsburg Place, and 1.71 acres of adjacent land which was to be designated as Section 9, but which has never been subjected to the Declaration or made part of Williamsburg Place. Please see the enclosed copy of the deed marked as Exhibit "A" whereby Mrs. Ryals acquired this property. I have also enclosed a survey map copy as Exhibit "B" which highlights the property she acquired. In addition to the land, Potter caused his company, Williamsburg Place, LLC, to assign to Mrs. Ryals any development rights he had to develop the 1.71 acres and add it to the subdivision. See enclosed copy of Assignment of Development Rights marked Exhibit "C". Mrs. Ryals (McGwier) is not responsible for the operation or maintenance of the retention pond at Williamsburg Place for the following reasons: 1. She acquired only a group of lots in the subdivision and a tract of land which has not been made a part of the subdivision. She did not acquire any portion of the common areas except as a percentage for being a lot owner. The "development rights" she acquired give her the right to develop only the property she acquired for purposes of adding it to Williamsburg Place, and not to development of the subdivision as whole. 2. All common areas, including the retention pond, were conveyed by Mr. Potter's company to the Williamsburg Place Owners Association, Inc. See copy of enclosed deed marked Exhibit "D". They were not acquired by Mrs. Ryals. 3. There is a Stormwater Maintenance Agreement recorded in Book 2003, Page 1027, New Hanover Co. Registry, which states that the Owner's Association has the responsibility to maintain the pond. See enclosed Exhibit "E". Mrs. McGwier does not intend to sign the Name/Ownership Transfer forms, the Operation and Maintenance Plan, or any other documents which would place responsibility for the stormwater management of Williamsburg Place upon her. What is most disturbing about your letter is that your allegation that she is responsible appears to be based solely upon a letter from Dave Latham, the Association Manager of Northchase, without any independent corroboration. Please contact the Williamsburg Place Owner's Association to pursue these matters further. RYALS, ROBINSON & SAFFO, P.C.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office February 4, 2003 Mrs. Deloris Ryals Ryals Investments, LLC 906 Bayshore Drive Wilmington, NC 28411 Subject: Pond Maintenance / Transfer of Ownership Williamsburg Place @NorthChase Stormwater Project No. SW8 940820 New Hanover County Dear Mrs. Ryals: On October 5, 1994, the Division of Water Quality issued a stormwater management permit (copy enclosed) to Gateway, Inc., for the development of Williamsburg Place @NorthChase with a wet detention pond to treat the stormwater runoff. I understand through a letter we received from Dave Latham, Association Manager of NorthChase, that Mr. Dean Potter and your late husband were business partners associated with Gateway, Inc. Mr. Latham's letter also indicates that your corporation has taken over the project and will be continuing with the development of Williamsburg Place. Since you are now the new owner, you are responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of the permitted project. Please complete, sign and return the enclosed Name/Ownership transfer form, and the Operation and Maintenance plan so that the permit may be transferred to you, as required under the statutes. Any outstanding violations must be addressed prior to the Division transferring the permit. A Notice of Violation was issued on March 1, 2001, (copy attached), and includes unpermitted modifications to the site plan, additional built -upon area, sediment accumulation, additional drainage area, and failing to submit the required Designer's Certification. Attempts to contact Mr. Potter were unsuccessful. If you know where he is, please feel free to contact him to contribute his fair share of the costs to bring the project into compliance with the permit. If it is your intent to have the NorthChase Homeowner's Association become the permittee, you must negotiate those terms with the Association directly. Upon resolution of those negotiations, please submit the appropriate paperwork to transfer the permit to the Association. By copy of this letter to the New Hanover County Building Inspections Department, we are notifying them that until the pond is in compliance and the Stormwater permit is transferred, building permits in Williamsburg Place should be withheld. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

January 15, 2003 Ms. Noel Lutheran North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC .28405 RE: Permit No. SW8 940820 - NorthChase—Williamsburg Place New Hanover County Dear Ms. Lutheran: JA 117 2( 03 Though we have spoken on several occasions by telephone, as a matter of introduction, I am the Association Manager of the NorthChase community and represent the NorthChase Homeowners Association by and through its Board of Directors. Iri-anticipation; of changing retention pond maintenance contractors for 2003, 1 requested from your office a copy ,of"the , permit documents -for each of the permitted stormwater retention ponds located in the NorthChase-community.,_Upon-receiving the requested permit inforrrlation;'we discovered that the permit for the Williamsburg, Place "stormwater, management, plan and detention pond remains in the name of P. Dean Potter of Gateway Development, Inc. Additionally, we note that the project name assigned to this stormwater project as reflected on the permit is "NorthChase — Williamsburg Place". At the time of our request, it was not convenient for me to personally visit your office to collect the requested information. A member of the NorthChase Board of Directors, Mr. Ron Ryan retrieved these documents from your office on my behalf. It is my understanding that you were so kind to review the permit file with Mr. Ryan, which included a discussion of outstanding fines and penalties levied against the permit holder for non-compliance issues. The purpose of my writing today is to document my client's position with respect to this permit. As I am sure you are aware, the Williamsburg Place development is located within the larger community of NorthChase. As a result of certain recitals and restrictions found in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for both NorthChase and Williamsburg Place respectively, the property owners at Williamsburg Place pay homeowner assessments to both Associations. Since the NorthChase Association is, in part, - responsible for the management and maintenance of the stotinwater retention ponds within the community, at some point in the development of the Williamsburg Place'facility;"the then„developer,, P. Dean Potter, approached the'NorthChase Board of Directors to regpest'that the NorthChase. Association ihclude the Williamsburg pond in its monthly water quality maintenance; program. "According to Mr. ,Potter, the purpose of:this request was to assure -that the property -owners at -Willi., amsburg Place received ah equitable share of services from the NorthChase Association that the other property owners within NorthChase enjoy. \\server\apps\wp51\assoctns\noch\pond\dem)sP8P�.g51006al Property Management 2502 South 17th Street • Wilmington, NC 28401 • 910/395-1500 • Fax 910/395-6229 A ., . a Subsequent to Mr. Potter's request, the NorthChase HOA included this pond in its monthly water quality pond maintenance program, and has maintained that aspect of this pond for several years. However, the NorthChase Homeowners Association does not consider itself responsible for guaranteeing permit compliance on this project. Additionally, the NorthChase Association was unaware that its name was associated with the "identifying caption" found on this permit. With respect to the current permit and/or permit holder, it is my understanding that Gateway, Inc. and/or Gateway Development, Inc. was a business partnership between P. Dean Potter and the late Granville Ryals. Further, I understand that any remaining property or dwelling unit previously owned by Gateway Development as security for development activities has been foreclosed by the respective mortgage lender(s). It is further my understanding that all assets of Gateway, Inc. and/or Gateway Development, Inc. have been liquidated and this corporation is out of business, with the remaining partner (Mr. Potter) having left the state. With respect to the remaining undeveloped land within the Williamsburg Place development, I am informed that this property is now owned by the widow of Mr. Potter's former business partner, Mrs. Delores.Ryals, who I believe has retitled the land in the name of "Ryals Investments". I understand that Mrs. Ryals has voiced an intent to begin construction on additional dwelling units shortly after the first of this year. By way of this letter, it is the intent of my client to put you on NOTICE that the NorthChase Homeowners Association is not the responsible party for any non-compliance issues that may exist or any remedial work that may be necessary to bring the pond into compliance. Since the demise of the original project developer, and the appearance that the subsequent title holder of the undeveloped lots has an intent to continue development, my client believes that the proper permit holder should be Ryals Investments, and that entity should be considered the responsible party for all permit obligations. At your earliest convenience, please advise of DEM's position on this matter. Thanking you in advance for your kind attention to this important matter, I remain Sincerely, FOR THE BOA OF DIRECTORS avid Lat m Association Manager NorthChase H.O.A. C.C.

The inspection was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8 940820, issued to Gateway Development, Inc. on October 5, 1994. The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 940820, issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 21-1.1000. The violations found are: 1. Changes not shown on the approved plans have been made to the 'site without first having the modifications permitted. There is a new addition of a second access road from NorthChase Parkway into the development. This increase in built upon area may necessitate an enlargement of the wet detention pond. 2. Due to the age of the pond and the ongoing construction on the site the amount of sediment accumulation is in question. The original depth of the pond was designed to be 7.25 feet below permanent pool elevation of 27.0 FMSL. 3. The overflow weir located on the outlet structure at elevation 29.15 FMSL needs to have some type of trash guard covering it to prevent trash from flowing down stream. 4. Debris surrounding and inside the outlet structure prevented staff from inspecting the sire and location of the 1.5 inch outlet orifice. 5. Along with the new addition of road came the installation of a ditch that drains into the pond. This ditch brings to question the overall drainage area to the pond. 6. The professional engineer's certification has not been completed and/or submitted to this Office. 7. From contact with NorthChase's property manager, CLPCO, the State has been made aware that the property has had a transfer of ownership. According to the permit a transfer of ownership requires that the permit be modified to reflect the new owners. Until such time that the permit is transferred to the new owner the State will continue to hold Gateway Development, Inc. and/or it's officers responsible for the conditions in the permit, including operation and maintenance on the pond. 127 Cardinal Dr. Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10 % post -consumer paper Mr. Potter February 8, 2001 Stormwater Permit No. SW8 940820 To correct these violations you must : Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violation(s) and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before March 8, 2001. 2.
