STATE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT
LOW DENSITY SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North
Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Northern Investors Group, LLC
The Highlands at Queens Creek, Section II
East lvybridge Dr., Hubert, Onslow County
FOR THE
construction, operation and maintenance of a 12% low density subdivision project in compliance
with the provisions of Session Law 2008-211 and Title 15A NCAC 2H .1000 (hereafter collectively
and separately 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 and considered a part of this permit.
The Permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
following specific conditions and limitations:
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
1. The overall tract built-upon area percentage for the project must be maintained at 12% per
the requirements of the stormwater rules. This permit covers the construction of a total of
356,837 square feet of built-upon area (BUA), which includes 347,600 square feet of
proposed BUA and 9,237 square feet of future BUA allocation.
2. Each of the 46 lots is limited to a maximum of 6,000 square feet of built-upon area, as
indicated on the application and/or as shown on the approved plans. CAMA regulations
may reduce the allowable built-upon area for those lots within the AEC.
3. 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 stomiwater rules and approved by
the Division.
4. No piping shall be allowed except those minimum amounts necessary to direct runoff
beneath an impervious surface such as a road or under driveways to provide access.
5. The project shall provide and maintain a minimum 50-foot wide vegetative buffer adjacent all
surface waters, measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the normal pool of
impounded structures, the top of bank of each side of streams and rivers and the mean high
water line of tidal waters. All runoff directed into and through the vegetative buffer must flow
through the buffer in a diffuse manner. Roof drains must terminate at the outer edge of the
buffer
6. Stormwater runoff that is directed to flow through any wetlands shall flow into and through
these wetlands at a non-erosive velocity.
Page 2 of 6

State Stormwater Management Systems
Permit No. SW8 150301
7. Within 1/2 mile of SA waters, direct points of stormwater discharges to SA waters are
prohibited. Infiltration of the design storm runoff or diffuse flow of stormwater at a non-
erosive velocity to a vegetated buffer or other natural area, that is capable of providing
effective infiltration of the runoff from the design storm, shall not be considered a direct point
of stormwater discharge. Rip rap and timber energy dissipation devices along with
vegetated areas are approved for this project to provide effective infiltration. These devices
will be recorded in an easement in order to protect the integrity of these devices. A copy of
this recorded easement must be submitted to the Division within 30 days of recording. If, in
the future, this design does not meet the intent of the stormwater rules and is found to cause
erosion or has resulted in a discharge to SA waters, the permit holder will have to install
another appropriate design that provides diffuse flow, prevents erosion, and provides
effective infiltration.
II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE
1. No person shall alter the approved stormwater management system or fill in, alter, or pipe
any drainage feature (such as swales) shown on the approved plans as part of the
stormwater management system, except for minimum driveway crossings, unless and until
the permittee submits a modification to the permit and receives approval from the Division.
2. The maximum built-upon area assigned to each lot via this permit and the recorded deed
restrictions may not be increased or decreased by either the individual lot owner or the
permittee unless and until the permittee notifies the Division and obtains written approval
from the Division.
3. The permittee shall review and keep records of all proposed and approved development on
each lot. The plans reviewed must include all proposed built-upon area. The permittee may
establish an Architectural Review Board (ARB) or Committee (ARC) to review new and
modified lot development plans for compliance with the Covenants and Restrictions,
including the BUA limit. However, any approval given by the ARB or ARC on behalf of the
permittee does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to maintain compliance with the
overall permitted built-upon area for the project.
4. The permittee is responsible for verifying that the proposed built-upon area on each
individual lot, and for the entire project, does not exceed the maximum allowed by this
permit. The permittee shall monitor all construction on each lot and where a lot is
determined to have exceeded the permitted maximum BUA, the permittee shall notify the lot
owner of such in writing and require remediation within a reasonable time frame to bring the
lot into compliance.
5. Swales, vegetated areas and other vegetated conveyances shall be constructed in their
entirety, vegetated, and operational for their intended use prior to the construction of any
built-upon surface, per the approved plans.
6. During construction, erosion shall be kept to a minimum and any eroded areas of the swales
or other vegetated conveyances will be repaired immediately.
7. The permittee shall at all times provide and perform the operation and maintenance
necessary as listed in the signed Operation and Maintenance Agreement, such that the
permitted stormwater management system functions at its optimum efficiency.
8. Deed restrictions are incorporated into this permit by reference and must be recorded with
the Office of the Register of Deeds prior to the sale of any lot. Recorded deed restrictions
must include, at a minimum, the following statements related to stormwater management:
a. The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State
Stormwater Management Permit Number 150301, as issued by the Division under
NCAC 2H.1000.
b. The State of North Carolina is made a beneficiary of these covenants to the extent
necessary to maintain compliance with the Stormwater Management Permit.
c. These covenants are to run with the land and be binding on all persons and parties
claiming under them.

IV. PROJECT INFORMATION
1. In the space provided below,briefly summarize how the stormwater runoff will be treated.
Stormwater runoff will be treated in two primary ways,sheet flow and swales.Sheet flow will be treated by
vegetative cover. Runoff will be collected in roadside swales from streets and roof areas.Swales will direct
runoff to outlet swales where they will be effectively infiltrated and filtered through a vegetative filter
strip. A 50'buffer is provided between dispersed flow and any surface water and/or wetland
2.a.If claiming vested rights,identify the supporting documents provided and the date they were approved:
❑Approval of a Site Specific Development Plan or PUD Approval Date:
❑Valid Building Permit Issued Date:
❑Other: Date:
b.If claiming vested rights,identify the regulation(s)the project has been designed in accordance with:
❑Coastal SW-1995 ❑Ph II-Post Construction

6. Total Surface Water Area:0 acres
7. Total Property Area(4)-Total Coastal Wetlands Area(5)-Total Surface Water Area(6)=Total Project
Area+:68.27 acres
+ Total project area shall be calculated to exclude the following: the normal pool of impounded structures, the area
between the banks of streams and rivers, the area below the Normal High Water(NIIW)line or Mean High Water
(MHVV)line,and coastal wetlands landward from the NHW(or MHV line. The resultant project area is used to
calculate overall percent built upon area(KM). Non-coastal wetlands landward of the NHW(or MHVV)line may
be included in the total project area.
8. Project percent of impervious area: (Total Impervious Area/Total Project Area)X 100 =12.0 %
9. How many drainage areas does the project have?1 (For high density,count 1 for each proposed engineered
stormwater BMP. For low density and other projects,use 1 for the whole property area)
