beneath an impervious surface such as a road or to provide access.
6. The built -upon areas associated with this project shall be located at least 50 feet
landward of all perennial and intermittent streams or other surface waters.
7. Roof drains must terminate at least 50 foot from the Mean High Water line.
No direct discharges to class SA or SR Waters are allowed. Diffuse flow of
stormwater at a non -erosive velocity to a vegetated buffer or other natural area
capable of providing effective infiltration of the runoff from the 1 year 24-hour storm

II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE
The permittee is responsible for verifying that the proposed built -upon area does not
exceed the allowable built -upon area.
2. The Director may notify the permittee when the permitted site does not meet one or
more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within the time frame specified in
the notice, the permittee shall submit a written time schedule to the Director for
modifying the site to meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide
copies of revised plans and certification in writing to the Director that the changes

7. Swales and other vegetated conveyances shall be constructed in their entirety,
vegetated, and be operational for their intended use prior to the construction of any
built -upon surface.
8. During construction, erosion shall be kept to a minimum and any eroded areas of
the swales or other vegetated conveyances will be repaired immediately.

and may or may not be approved.
The permittee is responsible for compliance with all permit conditions until the
Director approves a transfer of ownership. Neither the sale of the project nor the
transfer of common areas to a third party, such as a homeowner's association,
constitutes an approved transfer of the stormwater permit.
