Cape Fear Free Will Baptist Church
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 011117
New Hanover County
Dear Pastor Hall:
On May 17, 2012, Linda Lewis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) inspected Cape Fear Free Will Baptist Church at 5350 Holly Tree Road,
Wilmington in New Hanover County to determine the compliance status of the project with
Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8 011117 issued on May 9, 2002. DWQ file
review and site inspection revealed that the site is not in compliance with the terms and
conditions of the permit. Please find a copy of the completed form entitled "Compliance
Inspection Report" attached to this letter, which summarizes the findings of the recent
inspection.
As indicated in the attached inspection report, the following deficiencies must be resolved:
1. The basin may need some maintenance work to restore the infiltration capacity. At the
time of the inspection, the weather had been very dry for several months, but the basin
had quite a bit of water in it. Standing water in an infiltration system after 5 days is an
indication that the void spaces in the soil may be completely blocked by sediment or
debris. This condition is called "blinding off" and is an ongoing maintenance issue for any
infiltration system. The consultant, Mr. Jimmy Fentress, P.E., Stroud Engineering,
indicated that when the site was first constructed, there was a lot more clay in the soil
than the soils report indicated. The clay soils may also be a contributing factor to the
slow drawdown rate. After every rain event less than the 25 year storm, the basin should
be significantly dry within 5 days. The remediation plan proposed by Mr. Fentress
involved pumping out the water in the basin through the vegetated filter, removing the
"matted" soil, and adding coarse sand to promote infiltration, You may want to consider
excavating the entire basin down to the Seasonal High Water Table elevation, backfilling
with sand to remove any traces of clay, and maybe even adding perforated underdrains
at the bottom of the sand layer to promote infiltration.
2. The Designer's Certification has not been submitted, despite 2 previous requests. There
are several emails and a letter in the file from Mr. Fentress, who submitted a Plan of
Action on April 22, 2004, in which a remediation plan was proposed. Subsequent emails
from January 2005, indicate that Mr. Fentress was waiting on the church to implement
the remediation plan before certifying the system. Has the church implemented the Plan
of Action proposed by Mr. Fentress?

As a matter of record, a letter was sent to the church on August 8, 2011, as a reminder of the
upcoming expiration of the permit. Per our conversation earlier, the permit has NOT expired. On
August 5, 2009, the Governor signed SL 2009-406 into law. This law impacts any development
approval issued by the Division of Water Quality under Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General
Statutes, which is current and valid at any point between January 1, 2008, and December 31,
2010. The law extends the effective period of any stormwater permit that is set to expire during
this time frame to three (3) years from its current expiration date. On August 2, 2010, the
Governor signed SL 2010-177 into law, which grants an extra year for a total of four (4) years
extension. Please note that the expiration date of this permit has been adjusted to May 9, 2016
to reflect this four year extension.
Please inform this Office in writing before June 30, 2012, of the specific actions that will be
undertaken and the time frame that will be required to correct the deficiencies. Failure to provide
the requested information, or to respond to this letter by the due date, may initiate enforcement
action including the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If a written plan of
action is not submitted to this office by June 30, 2012 then DWQ staff will re -inspect the site and
issue a Notice of Violation if the listed deficiencies have not been addressed.
We look forward to resolution of this situation as quickly as possible. If you have any questions,
please contact Linda Lewis at the Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number (910) 796-
7301.

Re: Free Will Baptist Church
Stormwater Project No. SW8 011117
New Hanover County
Dcar Rhonda,
Pursuant the "Stormwater Compliance Inspection Report" dated March 17., 20041 am writing on behalf
of the permit holder for the aforementioned project. The intent of this letter is to present a "Plan of Action" to
address the deficiencies cited in the report. The two noted deficiencies are a lack of the Engineer's Certification
and an observation as to the infiltration pond's inability to draw down in the required two to five day period. As
the designer of record, I suspect that the pond's inability to draw down in the required time frame is related to
a combination of sediment and organic matting of the insitual voids in the soils at the pond bottom. To correct
this condition i have recommended the dewatering of the pond to enable attempts to remove this mat. The permit
holder proposes to draw the pond down by mud hog pump discharging at the head of the vegetative filter. This
will hopefully enable attempts to remove the mat primarily by manual methods. The timing of this exercise will
be dependent on extended dry weather to insure a minimal pumping duration and hopeful solar drying of the pond
bottom. Provided that the pond bottom is stable enough to enable an adequate platform for labor, the pond
bottom will be raked then punctured with a five foot grid of two foot deep postholes backlilled with a course
granular sand. This exercise will be conducted, weather permitting, within the next two months. I am prepared
to issue the Engineer's Certification of the completed site, collection system, pond geometry and overflow
components to be within substantial compliance of the permit. 1 desire to observe the results of the
aforementioned remediation exercise to complete my certification of the infiltration component of the system.
I hope that this addresses your concerns and extend my welcome to field questions or issues that you may have
with this proposal.
hank You,

stormwater rules), applications for permit renewals shall be submitted 180 days prior to the expiration of a permit and must be
accompanied by a processing fee, which is currently set at $505.00. if this is still an active project, please complete and submit
the enclosed renewal application by November 9, 2011. If this project has not been constructed and a permit is no longer
needed, please submit a request to have the permit rescinded, If you have sold the project please provide the name, mailing
address and phone number of the person or entity that is now responsible for this permit. Enclosed is a form for change of
ownership, which should be completed and submitted if the property has changed hands.
Your permit requires that upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the permitted stormwater treatment system,
a certification of completion be submitted to the Division from an appropriate designer for the type of system installed. This is to
certify that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with the permit, the approved plans, specifications and
supporting documentation. If you have not already provided a Designer's Certification to our office, please include a copy with
your permit renewal request and processing fee. A copy of the certification form is enclosed for your convenience.
You should be aware that failure to provide the Designer's Certification and the operation of a stormwater treatment facility
without a valid permit, are violations of NC General Statute 143-215.1 and may result in appropriate enforcement action
including the assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day.

CLAY SOIL THAN WAS EVIDENT IN OUR CONSULTANT'S SOILS REPORT. THE SOILS HOWEVER WERE
VERY INCONSISTENT IN TEXTURE THROUGHOUT THE SITE AND ALL PROBABILITY WOULD BE THAT
WHERE TEST HOLES WERE PERFORMED THE SOILS WERE ACURATELY REPRESENTED HOWEVER
THE BAD SOULS WERE INADVERTENTLY NOT OBSERVED. WE DID EXCAVATE TO GROUNDWATER
DURING CONSTRUCTION TO INSURE THAT THE TWO FEET OF SEPERATION COULD BE PROVIDED
AND THAT WAS VERIFIED.

Kent: I'1
Willi all the rain lately., it's not unexpected that all of our ponds and
infiltration basins are probably frill of water. There hasn't been a
stretch of 5 days without rain in at least 3 months or so. I think
today is day 5 of a stretch of good sunny, dry weather. On March 17,
2004, the Division inspected this site and found the same draw down
problem, but no flooding at that time. Also, we requested that the
engineer certify the system. On 4/22/04, a plan of action was submitted.
The infiltration basin was permitted to hold and infiltrate slightly
less than 4.5" of runoff. The overflow from it was permitted to run
through a 50' vegetated filter prior to discharge, making a direct
overflow pipe from the infiltration basin to the catch basin impossible.
The site is within 1/2'mile of SA waters, which limits the stormwater
treatement options to -infiltration or bioretention. Conversion to a wet
pond could not be allowed. I would first investigate why the basin is
not infiltrating. Perhaps the bottom of the basin has sealed up due to
sediment accumulatiaA, and just needs to be "unsealed" by excavating the
top 6"-8" of soil and backfilling with suitable sandier material. Use of
a sand filter in place of the basin could not be allowed since it will
discharge in response'to the design storm, but use of a sand filter in
place of the 50' vegetated filter would definitely be an option.
If the basin cannot be made to function as designed and permitted, in
accordance with the rules, alternate stormwater sytems will need to be
provided. They could include underground infiltration trenches in the
parking lot and converting landscaped islands into bio-retention areas.

Dear Linda,
We are resubmitting the plans and calculations for the aforementioned project having
addressed the items cited in your April 19, 2002 fax. City of Wilmington stormwater regulations
require that we detain the 10 year storm and provide an overflow i-or the 50 year storm. As such, we
have sized the basin to hold more than the state required 1.5 in. rainfall. This excess will not bypass
the pond but rather infiltrate through the basin bottom. Calculations included with this letter provide
the city storage and elevation information. For cases of an overflow condition, we have provided
an overflow outlet. As per you request, we have located a vegetated filter at the overflow spillway.
Overflow water will flow to the existing city curb inlet. A vegetated filter detail has been added to
sheet two.
We hope our plans, calculations and applications address all your concerns regarding the
planned changes. If you have any questions, please free to contact us at 815-0775. Thank you in
advance for attention to this matter.
Respectfully yours,

stores more than the design storm without overtopping as meeting the 5W
requirements. Please show the required 50' vegetated filter from the

Please provide a bypass structure and vegetated filter. The current configuration of allowing the runoff to bypass
after it has entered the basin is not allowed. The runoff in excess of the 1.5" design storm must be bypassed around
the basin and be directed into a 50' long vegetated filter prior to discharge.
Please add the required vegetated Filter detail. See attached.

Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Stormwater Project No. SW8 011117
Free Will Baptist Church
New Hanover County
Dear Pastor Hall:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for Free Will
Baptist Church on November 29, 2001,. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the
application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. Based on my maps, this site is well within 112 mile of Hewlett's Creek, therefore, wet detention
is not an option. Please revise this application to infiltration.
2. In order to speed up the process, please have the engineer contact me with the date that the soils
evaluation will be performed so that 1 can have our Regional Soil Scientist present. Any
discrepancies in the seasonal high water table can then be resolved on site.
3. Please, either delineate all wetlands on site, disturbed or undisturbed, or note on the plans that
none exist.
4. Please provide more finished pavement elevations, especially along the inner and outer edges.
These are needed to verify drainage.
