Dear Mr. Sealey:
The Central DEQ Regional Office received a complete State Stormwater Management Permit
Application for the subject project on October 7, 2020. Staff review of the plans and

terminating the permit for cause as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 15A
NCAC 2H.1000 and NCGS 143-215.1 et.al.
BUA REQUIREMENTS. The maximum amount of BUA allowed for the entire project is 54,528
square feet. The runoff from all BUA within the permitted drainage area of this project must be
directed into the permitted SCM. The BUA requirements and allocations for this project are as
follows:
a. SCM BUA LIMITS. The SCM has been designed using the runoff treatment method to
handle the runoff from 54,528 square feet of BUA within the delineated drainage area. This
permit does not provide any allocation of BUA for future development within the delineated
drainage area(s).
2. SCM REQUIREMENTS. The SCM requirements for this project are as follows:
a. SCM DESIGN. The SCM is permitted based on the design criteria presented in the sealed,
signed and dated supplement and as shown in the approved plans and specifications. This
SCM must be provided and maintained at the design condition
Page 1 of 5

Permit No. SW6200401
b. PRETREATMENT. The following pretreatment device(s) has (have) been provided to
prevent clogging in the infiltration SCMs: forebay for pretreatment.
3. STORMWATER OUTLETS. The peak flow from the 10-year storm event shall not cause
erosion downslope of the discharge point.
4. VEGETATED SETBACKS. A 30-foot wide vegetative setback must be provided and maintained
in grass or other vegetation adjacent to all surface waters as shown on the approved plans. The
setback is measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded structures, from
the top of bank of each side of streams or rivers, and from the mean high waterline of tidal
waters, perpendicular to the shoreline.
5. RECORDED DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS. The stormwater rules require the following
documents to be recorded with the Office of the Register of Deeds:
a. ACCESS AND/OR EASEMENTS. The entire stormwater conveyance system, including any
SCMs, and maintenance accesses must be located in public rights -of -way, dedicated
