APPROVAL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Miller:
On June 12, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification to
impact to impact 6,331 linear feet of stream and 0.18 acre of wetland for the purpose of constructing the
golf resort you described in your application dated February 2, 2006. In order to meet Condition 22 of the
401 Certification for this project, a revised stormwater management plan was submitted to the DWQ on
February 20, 2007. A revised stormwater management plan was submitted to the DWQ on April 11,
2007. This Plan has been reviewed and satisfies the stormwater management conditions of the 401 Water
Quality Certification.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be maintained
in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Stormwater easements shall be recorded for a distance
of at least 10 feet on each side of all stormwater conveyances on all lots containing these structures
including future access for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain
the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures
from potential alternations by future property owners.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone me at 919-715-3425.
Sincerely,
y~yvu~.2,~ Cam
