Dear Mr. Gravely:
The Washington Regional Office received your completed
request to renew the subject permit on September 8, 2006. Staff
review of the plans and specifications has determined that the
project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations
set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000. We are forwarding Permit No.

until December 5, 2016 and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to
the Operation and Maintenance requirements in this permit.
Failure to establish an adequate system for operation and
maintenance of the stormwater 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

TYPE OF STORMWATER TREATMENT: Infiltration System
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES:
-Collect the stormwater i•unoffgenerated by one inch of rainfall from all impervious
surfaces draining into the system.
-Be designed so that rainfall in excess of the required volume be diverted around the
system not allowing for flushing through the system.
-Retain the stormwater yet allow for complete storage draw down within five days of the
rainfall occurrence.
Provide the necessary level of maintenance to insure the system performance is at the
required level.
-Provide at least the level of maintenance as outlined below.
INSPECTION:
The performance of the infiltration basin should be checked after every major storm in
the first few months after construction. Particular attention should be paid to how long
runoff remains in the structure. Standing water in the basin within 48-72 hours after a
storm is a good indication that the -infiltration capacity of the basin may have been
overestimated. The operator should look for factors which may be responsible for
clogging the basin, such as upland sediment erosion, low spots, excessive compaction, or
marginal soils; and then get the contractor to make any needed repairs.
Thereafter, the basin should be inspected annually. Some of the most important items to
check for include; differential settlement, cracking, erosion, leakage or tree growth on
the embankment; the condition of the riprap in the inlet, outlet and pilot channels;
sediment accumulation in the basin; and the vigor and density of the grass turf on the
floor of the basin.
MOWING:

The buffer, side -slopes, and basin floor must be mowed at least twice a year to prevent
woody growth. More frequent mowing may be needed if the basin is to be used as a
passive recreation area. Mowing operations may be difficult since the basin floor may
often be soggy.
DEBRIS AND LITTER REMOVAL:
Trash will tend to collect in full -infiltration basins since they do not have outlets. The
operator shall remove all debris and litter during each mowing operation.
EROSION CONTROL:
This is a very important maintenance task since eroded sediments can adversely affect
the infiltration capacity of a basin. Eroding or barren areas should be immediately
revegetated.
TLLLING:
If a basin is located on marginally permeable soils, annual or semi-annual tilling
operations may be needed to maintain infiltration capacity. A rotary tilled or disc harrow
can be used, preferably in the late summer months when soil permeability is likely to be
the lowest (freezing and thawing of the soil in the winter and spring months often helps
to break up the soil and keep infiltration capacity high). Tilled areas should be
immediately revegetated to prevent erosion.
RESTORATION OF INFILTRATION CAPACITY:
Over time, the original infiltration capacity of the basin floor will gradually be lost. If
the problem has been caused by surface clogging (e.g., sediment accumulation or local
compaction), deep tilling can be used to break up the clogged surface layer, followed by
regrading and leveling. Md WRA (I 986b) suggests that deep tilling may be needed every
S to 10 years. In some instances, sand or organic matter can be tilled into basin soils to
restore infiltration capacity as well. If a basin still experiences chronic problems with
standing water after these measures have been taken, it is likely that the original
infiltration capacity was overestimated. It may then be necessary to install perforated
underdrains beneath the basin to remove the excess water.
SEDIMENT REMOVAL:
Removal should not begin until the basin has had a chance to thoroughly dry out,
preferably to the point where the top layer begins to crack. The top layer should then be
removed by light equipment, taking care not to unduly compact the basin floor. The
remaining soil can then be deeply tilled with a rotary tiller or disc harrow to restore
infiltration rates. Areas disturbed during sediment removal should be revegetated
immediately to prevent erosion.

The owner, Dramstad Development, Inc. and the local management assigned to The
Willows site acknowledge the requirements of this manual and agree to perform the
required level of maintenance contained herein and in the permit agreement to be issued
