Dee Freeman
Secretary
The ';:c: r. water.PerT13itting Unit received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for the Lori 0.
Coe, MD Office Building project on July 29, 2010. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined `hat
the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and
Session L .w 2006-246. We are forwarding Permit No. SW4100701, dated August 2, 2010, for the construction,
operation and maintenance of the subject project and stormwater BMPs.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 1, 2020, and shall be subject to the
conditior :::ncl limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the Operation and Maintenance
requirempnts in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for inspection and maintenance of the
stormwat,r 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 1506 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.
This project will be kept on file at the Winston-Salem Regional Office. If you have questions or need additional
information concerning this matter, please contact Cory Larsen at (919) 807-6365 or.cory,larsen@ncdenr.gov..

Bioretention Operation and Maintenance Agreement
I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important operation and maintenance procedures:
— Immediately after the bioretention cell is established, the plants will be watered
twice weekly if needed until the plants become established (commonly six
weeks).
— Snow, mulch or any other material will NEVER be piled on the surface of the
bioretention cell.
— Heavy equipment will NEVER be driven over the bioretention cell.
— Special care will be taken to prevent sediment from entering the bioretention cell.
— Once a year, a soil test of the soil media will be conducted.
After the bioretention cell is established, I will inspect it once a month and within 24
hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal
County). Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location
and will be available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
