New Hanover County's Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program is performance- oriented, requiring
protection of existing natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of the project,
it is determined that the plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the New Hanover County's Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Ordinance, this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation of the
revisions to insure compliance with the ordinance.
This land disturbing permit will expire within 1 year following the date of approval, if no land disturbing
activity has been undertaken. If no activity takes place within one year after work has begun onsite, the permit
will expire. Please contact this office to reactivate a permit that has expired.
Acceptance and approval of this erosion control plan is conditioned on your compliance with Federal
and State water quality laws, regulations and rules. This permit will not preclude any other permits or approvals
necessary for beginning or completing this development. It is the owner's responsibility to have all the approvals
and permits that are required prior to beginning construction.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
(THESE CONDITIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ADDITION TO THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS)
*All the soil erosion control measures will be installed as the site is cleared and maintained throughout construction. NOTE: The
construction sequence that states. the initial limits of clearing does not include piping of the ditch thru the property at STA 21+30 or the
wetland crossing at STA. 33+30. Silt fence shall be placed along the top of the existing ditch bank and 5 feet off the wetland crossing to
protect the areas until the final culverts are installed. Temporary wetland swamp mats shall be used to cross the wetlands located at
STA 33+30 for timbering -related construction. Activities west of the wetland and the ditch may not be crossed until the culvert is
installed. Access to the property west of the main ditch must be obtained by using the second construction entrance off Chadwick
Avenue until the culvert is installed. Clear the developable project area as necessary to access and excavate the sediment basins and the
temporary diversion ditches and permanent bypass ditches in that order. The diversion ditches must be excavated prior to excavation of
the bypass ditches. Excavation of the permanent bypass ditches must occur between storm events and in such a manner that disturbed
runoff does not leave the site. This may require excavation of the ditch without connection and stabilization of the side slopes prior to
excavating the connection. Install wattles with flocculants thru the ditch and check dams at the end. Temporary diversion ditch 1 for
sediment basin 1 must be excavated prior to filling the existing west flowing ditch thru the property. Once the diversion has been
excavated the coir mesh baffles must be installed on the downstream side of the proposed connection point of the permanent bypass
ditches then the bypass ditch can be excavated between storm event. Erosion control measures include 2 construction entrance, Silt
fences and liners on either end of the R/W pipe, silt fences, inlet and outlet protection, concrete washouts, 4 jute lined diversion
ditches, 3 excelsior lined by-pass swales of which #1 and #2 will have with coir baffles with polyacrylamides and check dams and bypass
ditch #3 will have coir 12 inch wattles with polyacrylamides and a check dam, and immediate construction and stabilization of the
infiltration basin and the 2 sediment basins, their slopes and outlet structures with Faircloth skimmers. The Faircloth skimmer in pond 1
will be a 4-inch skimmer with a 2.9-inch orifice and the Faircloth skimmer in Pond #2 will be a 4-inch skimmer with a 3.5-inch orifice.
Additional erosion control measures may be required to retain sediment onsite throughout construction.
"Revision #1 approved 12/20/19 includes the original erosion control mentioned previously and adds 2.1 acres for R/W work with
silt fences, inlet protection and 12 inch wattles of which one must be shifted to both ends of the disturbed area.

**Revision #2 approved 3/2/21 changes ownership from Grayson Park Development, LLC to DR Horton, Inc.
*Silt fence stakes must be steel and will be placed six feet apart without wire reinforcement and extra strength silt fence or eight feet
apart with wire reinforcement. Silt fence is not allowed as inlet protection.
*If any phase of grading ceases for more than 15 working days, the site will be temporarily stabilized.
*All slopes must be stabilized within 21 calendar days of any phase of activity.
*No sediment shall leave the site.
*If these measures fail to adequately control erosion, more restrictive measures will be required.
*If plan revisions are necessary you must submit a copy to this office for approval prior to any field changes.
*Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved source including a separate
construction site with an active land disturbing permit. Borrow from any other location would require this permit to be revised to
include the area where the borrow was generated as part of this site. Any soil waste that leaves this site can be transported to a
permitted mine or separate construction site with an active land disturbing permit without additional
permits. Disposal at any other location would require the disposal site to be included in this permit and would require submittal and
approval of revised plans. You must notify this office of the location where soil is taken from or transported too prior to the activity.
*Note the required rates for seed, lime, fertilizer and mulch in your seeding specifications.
*Pre -construction meetings are optional. Contact Beth E. Wetherill at (910) 798-7139 to set up a meeting prior to land disturbing activity
onsite. If you do not choose to have a preconstruction meeting prior to starting work on site, you should contact us when activity begins
and again when the initial measures have been installed.
*Tree Removal Permits and/or Approvals are required from the City of Wilmington and/or New Hanover County.
*All City and/or County and State drainage and stormwater requirements will be adhered to.
*This permit does not preclude any permits or approvals which may be necessary. These include but are not limited to, City of

regulations and rules.
* This land disturbing permit requires inspections and record keeping to be performed by the landowner, the financially responsible
party or their agent, during and after each phase of the plan has been completed and after establishment of temporary ground cover.
Records shall be maintained onsite until permanent ground cover has been established to provide sufficient root structure to restrain
erosion. These phases include: installation of perimeter erosion and sediment control measures; clearing and grubbing of existing
ground cover; completion of any phase of grading on slopes or fills that requires provisions of temporary or permanent ground cover;
completion of storm drainage facilities; completion of construction or development; and quarterly until the establishment of permanent
ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion. Or, until the financially responsible party has conveyed ownership or control of the tract of
land for which the erosion and sedimentation control plan has been approved and the agency that approved the plan has been notified.
If the financially responsible party has conveyed ownership of control of the tract of land for which the erosion and sedimentation
control plan has been approved, the new owner's or person in control shall conduct and document inspections quarterly until the
establishment of permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion. The person who performs the inspections shall maintain and
make available a record of the inspection at the site of the land disturbing activity until permanent ground cover has been established.
The records will document: the installation of the erosion and sedimentation control measures, practices and devices as set forth by the
approved plan or if the measures, practices and devices are modified after initial installation; the completion of any phase of grading for
all graded slopes and fills shown on the approved plan, specifically noting the location and condition of the graded slopes and fills; the
