Certificate of Coverage NCG190009
Creekside Yacht Club
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Stanley:
On May 29, 2019, Brian Lambe from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy,
Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), conducted a compliance evaluation inspection for Creekside
Yacht Club located in Oleander Drive, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The site drains to
Bradley Creek, which is currently classified as Class SC Waters in the White Oak River Basin.
The following observations were noted during the DEMLR inspection (please see the attached
addendum for additional information about your permit):
1) Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
Yes ■ No ❑
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) has been developed, recorded, and properly
implemented.
2) Qualitative Monitoring
Yes ■ No ❑
Qualitative monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit
requirements.
3) Analytical Monitoring
Yes ■ No ❑
Analytical monitoring has been conducted and recorded in accordance with permit requirements.
The sampling results on 5/5/2019 for Copper were 0.012mg/L. The sample on 12/1/2018 reported
a 0.32 mg/L for Copper. Prior results have also exceeded the benchmark of 0.005mg/L for Copper
resulting a Tier II and Tier III response from the permittee.
This inspection was conducted to review the data and site for evaluation for relief of Tier II and III
requirements for Copper at Outfall 1. The site is very well maintained and great attention is given to
reducing impacts of the facility on Bradley Creek. The sample point is taken adjacent to the boat lift.
According to a letter from James Frei of SwSG February 28, 2005, the catch basin below the sampling
point leads to an undocumented infiltration field. The sample point was compromised as an
alternative due to the infiltration field not directly discharging to Bradley Creek. The infiltration
should be treating the stormwater. Please be aware of other impacts of the infiltration field. This
office recommends utilizing NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services soil testing for
heavy metals (contact New Hanover Cooperative Extension).

Therefore, you may resume sampling under normal sampling protocols per permit requirements. You
are relieved of Tier II and III requirements. Please contact this office if you have an unusual spike in
sampling results for the duration of the permit period. This office reserves the right to reinstitute the
tiered response requirements as needed.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during this inspection. If you have any questions,
comments, or need assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit, please do not hesitate
