All previous references to DWQ will remain in older stormwater permits issued prior to August 1, 2013 until they are modified. On August 5, 2009, the Governor signed Session Law 2009-406. This law impacted any development approval issued by the former Division of Water Quality under Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes, which was current and valid at any point between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010. The law extended the effective period of any stormwater permit that was set to expire during this time frame to three (3) years from its current expiration date. On August 2, 2010, the Governor signed Session Law 2010-177 which granted an extra year for a total of up to four (4) years extension. Accordingly, State Stormwater Management Permit # SW8 050304, which was set to expire on March 29, 2015, is now in effect until March 29, 2019. Please submit the renewal application and fee at least 186 days prior to the new expiration date, which would be September 29, 2018. A copy of the Renewal Application can be obtained from the following website: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/statesw/forms_docs. In addition, please verify your current mailing address and phone number by completing, signing and returning the attached Name 1 Ownership Change form. A routine file review indicated that a change of address was filed with the NC Secretary of State in September 2006, just after the permit was transferred to the Association, but the Division was not made aware of this change. The permit mailing address and phone number currently on file is 1111 Military Cutoff Road, Suite 151, 910-332-4114, If you have any questions, please contact Linda Lewis with the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources in the Wilmington Regional Office at 910-796-7215.

Kuske, III, P.E., Norris, Kuske & Tunstall Paul Bartlett Page 2 of 2 INFORMATION PERTAINING TO DEED RESTRICTIONS AND PROTECTIVE COVENANTS In accordance with Title 15 NCAC 2H.1000, the Coastal Stormwater Management Regulations, deed restrictions and protective covenants are required for High Density Commercial Subdivisions where lots will be subdivided and sold. Deed restrictions and protective covenants are necessary to ensure that the development maintains a "built -upon" area consistent with the design criteria used to size the stormwater control facility. The following deed restrictions and covenants must be recorded prior to the sale of any lot: The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State Stormwater Management Permit Number , as issued by the Division of Water Quality under NCAC 2H.1000. 2. The State of North Carolina is made a beneficiary of these covenants to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with the stormwater management permit. 3. These covenants are to run with the land and be binding on all persons and parties claiming under them. 4. The covenants pertaining to stormwater may not be altered or rescinded without the express written consent of the State of North Carolina, Division of Water Quality. 5. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plan may not take place without the concurrence of the Division of Water Quality. 6. The maximum allowable built -upon area per lot is square feet. This allotted amount includes any built -upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. Note: If the BUA per lot varies, please substitute the following paragraph for the one above and provide a complete listing of the proposed BUA for each lot: The maximum allowable built -upon area per lot is as follows: ►._ot # BUA Lot # BUA Lot # BUA These allotted amounts include any built -upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. 7. All runoff from the built -upon areas on the lot must drain into the permitted system. This may be accomplished through a variety of means including: a piped collection system, which ultimately discharges into the stormwater facility, appropriate grading of the lot such that the built -upon surfaces drain into the stormwater facility; or graded swales which collect runoff and direct it into the stormwater facility. 8. Each lot whose ownership is not retained by the permittee, is required to submit a separate stormwater permit application to the Division of Water Quality and receive a permit prior to construction.

Deed restrictions and protective covenants are necessary to ensure that the development maintains a "built -upon" area consistent with the design criteria used to size the stormwater control facility. The following deed restrictions and covenants must be recorded prior to the sale of any lot: The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State Stormwater Management Permit Number , as issued by the Division of Water Quality under NCAC 2H. 9040. 2. The State of North Carolina is made a beneficiary of these covenants to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with the stormwater management permit. 3. These covenants are to run with the land and be binding on all persons and parties claiming under them. 4. ,The covenants pertaining to stormwater may not be altered or rescinded without the ,,The written consent of the State of North Carolina, Division of Water Quality. 5. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plan may not take place without the concurrence of the Division of Water Quality. 6. The maximum allowable built -upon area per lot is square feet. This allotted amount includes any built -upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. Note: If the BUA per lot varies, please substitute the following paragraph for the one above and provide a complete listing of the proposed BUA for each lot: The maximum allowable built -upon area per lot is as follows: Lot # BUA Lot # BUA Lot # BUA These allotted amounts include any built -upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge bf the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, Concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. 7. All runoff from the built -upon areas on the lot must drain into the permitted system. This may be accomplished through a variety of means including: a piped collection system, which ultimately discharges into the stormwater facility; appropriate grading of the lot such that the built -upon surfaces drain into the stormwater facility; or graded swales which collect runoff and direct it into the stormwater facility. 8. Each lot whose ownership is not retained by the permittee, is required to submit a separate stormwater permit application to the Division of Water Quality and receive a permit prior to construction. 1 The Development Group 1900 Eastwood Road, Suite 11 Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 (910) 256-9940 February 9, 2005 Ms. Linda Lewis, Environmental Engineer NC DENR Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Re: 250 Racine Drive Commercial Subdivision Wilmington, NC Dear Ms. Lewis: Per your instructions to Amy Norris with Norris, Kuske & Tunstall Engineers, this letter shall serve as our authorization for Henry E.

The subdivision site address is 220 Racine Drive. The project site will be subdivided into six (6) lots, which will be sold by the current owner to individual developers,' Sanitary sewer piping, storm drain piping and a stormwater pond currently exist on the site due to a past development, which was not completed. The existing sanitary sewer and storm drain piping will be removed and / or modified for the new project as shown on -..the enclosed plans. The existing stormwater pond will be modified to, comply with. 'the current NC DENR State Stormwater Regulations and the current City of ;Wilmington Stormwater Ordinance. The stormwater pond lot will be common area 'to the proposed subdivision development. Each of the six (6) lots will be allowed to create a maximum of 90.00% impervious coverage. The project site is bound by two (2) City streets, which are Racine Drive and Market Place Drive. Each individual site and owner will be responsible for obtaining driveway access from one or both City streets accordingly. Driveways will be shared between adjoining sites if it is feasibly possible. The subdivision infrastructure work will require ' new site permits .or modifications revisions to existing site permits. To date, the only -existing site permit located is New Hanover County Land Disturbing 'Activity 'Permit' Nb.,� GP � 1890 & 458, which will be revised. Approximately 12 acres will be , disturbed to complete the subdivision infrastructure work_ 'Each individual lot and5'owner will be responsible for obtaining their own site permits as required with th6 exception of Lot No. 2. At this time, Lot No_ 2 will be owned and deveioped by the subdivision owners as, shown on the enclosed plans. Lot No. 2 and the development will eventually be sold to a different entity. At that time, the new owner of Lot No. 2 will submit for any -site permit modifications, name changes and an NC DENR Off -Site Stormwater Discharge Permit as required. SITE DESCRIPTION: As mentioned above, Racine Drive; Commercial' Subdivision. is a 15.22-acre site within the Wilmington City limits in New Hanover. `County;'°North Carolina. The site is moderately wooded with soils con:'isting':of.'siltyisab6s acid grades ranging from 0.00% to 10.00%. Portions of the site will remain' undisturbed- as shown on the plans. Trees will be saved on the site to the extent possible..".

Silt fence shall be installed as sh'own'orirfhe',attached plans. Erosion control measures will be installed around lithe inlets as°`shoown oR the plans to trap silt during construction. Inspect the erosioncontrol around °th'e' inlets after each rain and make repairs as needed. Remove sediment as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for subsequent rains. When the'. contributing drainage area has been adequately stabilized, remove all materials and any unsuitable soil and either salvage or dispose of it properly. Bring the disturbed area to proper grade, then smooth and compact it. Appropriately stabilize all bare areas around the drop inlets. Temporary graveled construction entrances will be installed as shown on the plans. Maintain the gravel construction entrances in a. condition to prevent mud or sediment from leaving the site. The contractor shall inspect the construction entrance on a daily basis. This may require periodic top dressing' with additional stone. Any objectionable materials spilled, washed, or tracked onto public roadways. shall be;removed immediately. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MEASURES As previously mendoned,.the subdivision proiect site is located in New Hanover County, NC within the City limits at 220 Racine Drive. Land disturbing on the site will exceed one acre, which requires the site to comply with the State Stormwater Regulations. The site will also have to comply with the City of Wilmington Stormwater Ordinance. As previously mentioned, an existing stormwater pond on the site will be modified to comply with the current regulations and , ordinance. The modified subdivision stormwater pond has been designed to handle 90% impervious coverage from each of the six (6) lots proposed. The total acreage for the six (6) lots or the total area to be developed is 12.92 acres, which does not' include'the- stormwater pond lot, which is common area. The total area of 12.92 acres at 90%.impervious coverage will allow a maximum of 11.63 acres / 506,663 SF 'of 'impery ous area., Therefore, runoff from all impervious areas including the roof will be coliected'and directed to the project drainage system, which will drain to the modified sul7_division stormwater pond_ See the table attached to the stormwater permit application for additional information on lot areas and maximum lot impervious coverage limits. Also see the site data table in the calculations and on Sheet C2 of the plans for a detailed breakdown of. areas and project information. t CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE: The contractor will install the diravel construction entrances, silt fence and other specified erosion control measures prior ,,,to beginning � any grading operations.

The subdivision site address is 220 Racine Drive. The project site will be subdivided into six (6) lots, which will be sold by the current owner to individual developers.' Sanitary sewer piping, storm drain piping and a stormwater pond currently exist on the site due to a past development, which was not completed. The existing sanitary sewer and storm drain piping will be removed and ! or modified for the new project as shown on the enclosed plans. The existing stormwater pond will be modified to comply with 'the current NC DENR State Stormwater Regulations and the current City of .Wilmington Stormwater Ordinance. The stormwater pond lot will be common area 'to the proposed subdivision development. Each of the six (6) lots will be allowed to create a maximum of 90.00% impervious coverage. The project site is bound by two (2) City streets, which are Racine Drive and Market Place Drive. Each individual site and owner will be responsible for obtaining driveway access from one or both City streets accordingly. Driveways will be shared between adjoining sites if it is feasibly possible. The subdivision infrastructure work will require new site permits .or modifications ! revisions to existing site permits. To date, the only'existing .site permit located is New Hanover County Land Disturbing .Activity Permit' No.� GP '.1890 & 458, which will be revised. Approximately 12 acres will be disturbed to complete the subdivision infrastructure work. Each individual lot and 'owner will be responsible for obtaining their own site permits as required with the exception of Lot No. 2. At this time, Lot No. 2 will be owned and developed by the subdivision owners as shown on the enclosed plans. Lot No. 2 and the development will eventually be sold to a different entity. At that time, the new owner of Lot No. 2 will submit for any site permit modifications, name changes and an NC DENR Off -Site Stormwater Discharge Permit as required. SITE DESCRIPTION: As mentioned above, Racine Drivi� Commercial Subdivision is a 15.22-acre site within the Wilmington City limits in New Ha'no%ier- County '• North Carolina. The site is moderately wooded with soils con: isting ,of silty. sands ,and grades ranging from 0.00% to 10.00%. Portions of the site will remain'undisturbed as shown on the plans. Trees will be saved on the site to the extent possible.'

Silt fence shall be installed as stiovvnon?the;atiached plans. Erosion control measures will be installed around the inlets as 'sf 8'wn` on the plans to trap silt during construction. Inspect the erosion ;control around :the inlets after each rain and make repairs as needed. Remove sediment as necessary to provide adequate storage volume for subsequent rains. When the contributing drainage area has been adequately stabilized, remove all materials and any unsuitable soil and either salvage or dispose of it properly. Bring the disturbed area to proper grade, then smooth and compact it. Appropriately stabilize all bare areas around the drop inlets. Temporary graveled construction entrances will be installed as shown on the plans. Maintain the gravel construction entrances in a. condition to prevent mud or sediment from leaving the site. The contractor shall inspect the construction entrance on a daily basis. This may require periodic top dressing with additional stone. Any objectionable materials spilled, washed, or tracked onto public roadways shall be -removed immediately. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MEASURES` As previously mentioned, the subdivision project site is located in New Hanover County, NC within the City limits at 220 Racine Drive. Land disturbing on the site will exceed one acre, which requires the site to comply with the State Stormwater Regulations. The site will also have to comply with the City of Wilmington Stormwater Ordinance. As previously mentioned, an existing stormwater pond on the site will be modified to comply with the current regulations and . ordinance. The modified subdivision stormwater pond has been designed to handle 9D% impervious coverage from each of the six (6) lots proposed. The total acreage for the six (6) lots or the total area to be developed is 12.92 acres, which 'does not, include the- stormwater pond lot, which is common area. The total area of 2.92 acres at,90% impervious coverage will allow a maximum of 11.63 acres 1506,603 SF of i'mpe vious. area.' Therefore, runoff from all impervious areas including the roof will be collected directed to the project drainage system, which will drain to the modified subdivision stormwater pond. See the table attached to the stormwater permit application for additional information on lot areas and maximum lot impervious coverage'limits. Also see the site data table in the calculations and on Sheet C2 of the plans for a detailed breakdown of, areas and project information. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE: The contractor will install the dravel construction entrances, silt fence and other specified erosion control measures prior -to beginning any grading operations.

DRAWER 479 WILMINGTON, N.C. 29402 PHONE: (910) 762-2421 FAX: {910) 251-9247 It is my understanding that you will be having a turn -over meeting in the near future with regard to the removal of the developerideclarant's representatives and the insertion of the lot owners as members, directors, and officers of the Dune -Racine Property Owners Association. As you are aware, the bylaws call for an annual meeting of the members and directors each year in April. The bylaws and statutes also allow the notice of such meetings to be waived or for the meetings to be held by consent. Based upon the imminent turn -over meeting in the near future it seems to me the easiest approach to accomplish the annual meeting is by consent keeping everything the same as last year to allow the developer to finish all items and then have the turn -over meeting. Enclosed for review and comment please find a draft consent to action without meeting to be executed by the Members (Lot Owners) which keeps the original, initial board of directors in place. Enclosed also please find a draft consent to action without meeting to be executed by the board of directors which keeps the same officers in place. Mr. Henry E. Miller, III Page 2 If the above documents meet with your approval, please circulate the same among the Members for execution. Thereafter, please place a copy in your corporate book. Looking forward, one of the last items which remains before the turn over is the conveyance of the common areas and easements as shown on the recorded plats to the Association. Enclosed for review and comment please find a draft deed from the original owners conveying these areas to the Association. Should you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. Otherwise, I await your further instruction. With kind regards, I am Sincerely yours, YOW, X & MANNEN, L.L.P.

Matt 4400 Falls of the Neuse Road Raleigh, NC 27609 Subject: Offsite Permit Application for Lot 2 Racine Drive Commercial Subdivision Stormwater Project No. SW8 050304 New Hanover County Dear Mr. Matt: The Division of Water Quality issued a stormwater management permit to Henry Miller, Jr., Duke Gene, LLC, for the subject project on March 29, 2005. The permit covered the construction and maintenance of the wet detention pond as well as the development on Lot 2. Duke Gene, LLC, is currently.in the process of transferring the permit to the Duke -Racine Property Owners Association, however, because Lot 2 was permitted in the same permit as the wet pond, it is not appropriate to transfer the permit to the Association. Doing so assumes that the Association is the owner of Lot 2 and would make them responsible for maintaining compliance with the permit conditions and any violations that occurred on Lot 2. To resolve this, the Division would like for you, as the owner of Lot 2 according to New Hanover County tax records, to submit an offsite permit application and receive your own stormwater management permit for Lot 2, so that the original permit for the pond can be transferred to the Association. I have enclosed the necessary forms to be completed and returned. If you are no longer the owner of the property located at 250 Racine Drive, Wilmington, NC, (aka Lot 2 of the Racine Drive Commercial Subdivision), please advise as soon as possible so that the current owner can be contacted and the transfer process can continue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 796-7335 or email me at lind_a. lewis[a) ncmail. net.

Inspection Date: July 20, 2006 Weather Conditions: clear & hot, recent rain 3. Compliance Issues: Y N ®❑ The drainage area (including offsite) and built -upon area to the permitted system are per the approved plan. ®❑ All the built -upon area associated with the project is graded such that the runoff drains to the system. ®❑ For ponds/infiltration, the outlet/bypass structure relative elevations are per the approved plan. (Must be verified via as -built survey if in question). ®❑ The inlets and outlet structure are located per the approved plans and do not cause short-circuiting. A trash rack is provided over the outlet weir and orifice. All slopes are grassed with permanent vegetation and are not eroding. Vegetated slopes are no steeper than 3:1. The approximate amount of permitted surface area has been provided. (Must be verified via as -built survey or designer's certification.) Required drawdown devices are correctly sized per the approved plans. All required design depths are provided. All required parts of the system are provided, such as a vegetated shelf, and a forebay. LLI The designer's certification has been submitted. The required deed restrictions are correctly recorded and submitted. The number of lots or outparcels is per the permitted amount. Required maintenance is being performed. 4. Required Actions: (Each deficiency is explained below and what needs to be done to bring the system back into compliance) a. The grass on the pond slopes was thin but holding. It needs to be watered and maintained until there is a full, healthy stand of grass. There was some isolated erosion on the back slope of the pond. b. There was a lot of trash and debris stuck behind the trash screen, which should be removed on a routine basis. C. The remaining lots for development need to either establish vegetation or install onsite erosion control measures to keep the sediment on the lots from entering the pond. d. There is a large sediment plume in front of the outlet structure. It appears that the pond slopes under the rip rap in that area have sloughed into the pond. You may need to place a plastic liner under the riprap, or replace the one that's already there. The accumulated sediment will also need to be removed. l� Inspector: Linda Lewis Surface Water Protection Section/DWQ/Wilmington Regional Office/(910) 796-7215 ENB/arl: S:IWQSISTORMWATIINSPECT1050304.aug06 DUKE GENE, LLC POST OFFICE BOX 42 WRIGTHSVILLE BEACH, NC 28480 March 29, 2006 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Edward Beck NCDENR Regional Supervisor, Surface Water Protection Section 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 RE: Notice of Violation Racine Drive Commercial Subdivision Stormwater Permit No. SW8 050304 New Hanover County Dear Mr. Beck: The above referenced letter was received on March 14, 2006. As the letter suggested, we attempted to contact Mr. Gary Beecher to discuss the condition of the project. Through no fault of Mr. Beecher, contact was not made until ,March 23, 2006. As discussed with Mr. Beecher, the pond construction and stabilization was completed on March 18, 2006. "As -built" surveys should be completed this week. Upon receipt of those surveys, our engineer, John A. Kuske III of Norris Kuske & Tunstall Consulting Engineers, Inc. will review them, inspect the pond and prepare the engineer certification for the project. All efforts will be made to have this completed by April 10, 2006. In our opinion, we have completed the correction items listed in the correspondence. As discussed with Mr. Beecher, our contractor was delayed for almost four months waiting for the natural gas company to re -locate an existing line that was in the construction area. The project was completed within three weeks of the line being moved. We trust that we have answered your questions and that once the engineering certification is received that this matter will be closed. If you need additional information or have any questions please contact Hank Miller at (910) 620-4265. Sincerely, DUKE ENE, LLC ff By: Hen .

The inspection was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater'Permit Number SW8 050304, issued to you on March 29, 2005, The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 050304, issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCG010000. The violations found are: 1. Violation of State Stormwater Permit No. SW8 050304 (section 1I-7): The stormwater management system shall be constructed in its entirety, vegetated and operational for its intended use prior to the construction of any built -upon surface. At the time of this inspection the foundation and walls of the building have been built. The stormwater pond is still under construction. The sides of the pond have not been stabilized with grass. The outlet structure is also under construction, it appears that turbid water from the storm pond is being pumped offsite. To correct these violations you must: 1. Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violation(s) and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before April 10, 2006. 2. Finish constructing all of the storm 'water systems that were permitted for this site. The storm pond must be complete and fully functional. The storm pond must be stabilized with grass or sod. 3. Finish constructing or repairing the outlet structure. Turbid water cannot be pumped offsite. The water must be drawn from the surface of the pond. The water must then be pumped through a vegetated median onsite, thus further allowing sediment and silt to filter out before leaving the site. N. C.
