UPPER REACH EXTENSION
STORMWATER MAINTENANCE
• During construction, the roadway was periodically cleaned of dirt and debris.
Basins were cleaned of silt and run-off.
• In May of 2005, the stormwater pond was finish graded and seeded by Eco
Express.
• Beginning in May 2005, Southern Pines Lardscaping was hired to maintain the
common areas and the stormwater pond on a bi-weekly basis. This included bi-
weekly inspection, cutting, and cleaning of the streets and repairing any ruts
caused by storms, etc.
• In August of 2004, during Hurricane Charley, it was noted the pond was full and
overflowing slightly into the neighbor's yard. The pond grades were surveyed and
revealed the right rear corner to be six inches below the required grade. Jeff
Maipass of Malpass Engineering instructed to have the grade raised six inches
around the right rear corner of the pond. In September 2004, Tim Rivenbark
Construction added to the pond bank and re -graded the rear corner. Southern
Pines Landscaping subsequently re -seeded the area and entire pond area. No
overflow has been noted since.
• In September 2005, the sides of the roadway were irrigated and sodded by
Southern Pines Landscaping.
• In October 2005, the HOA was turned over to the homeowners after a meeting
on site with Linda Lewis and the homeowners. At the meeting, Ms. Lewis required
the basin to be re -seeded and an engineer to certify the stormwater system and
ponds.
• In November 2005, the pond was re -surveyed. Jeff Malpass (Malpass
Engineering) certified the pond and forward the certification to Ms. Lewis. The
basin was re -seeded by Southern Pines Landscaping.
• The Upper Reach Extension Owners' Association has been maintaining the
stormwater system since the turnover in October 2005.

John:
we'd like to meet everyone at the site, homeowners, consultant, developer, and
DENR, to inspect the measures, and then determine what needs to be done to comply
with State Stormwater. Once the problems, (related to stormwater management only)
are corrected, the BOA will be obligated to take over the permit. You should time
the implementation of the corrective measures such that they are complete before
the first meeting of the BOA, and then call the Division to inspect the project
again, just before the meeting. The newly elected president can then sign off on
the paperwork and the permit can then be issued to the HOA.
If the site is in compliance, and there are are no corrective measures needed, the
Division will relay this information at the meeting and put it in writing so that
when the first meeting of the BOA takes place, there will be no doubt about what
the stormwater permit covers, and what is the compliance status of the project.
Please provide me with the names and phone numbers of the residents in the
subdivision, or a single contact for the neighborhood that can spread the word, and
let me know some available dates for the meeting.
Thanks,
Linda

Linda,
Hope all is well. We are preparing to turnover the stormwater permit and books
to Upper Reach Extension HOA. A preliminary copy of the covenants was sent with
our original application and the recorded covenants were sent in October 2004 as
requested. We have not received any feedback from the division concerning the
covenants at this point. The turnover is anticipated to be in the next 30 - 45
days. I have a Name/Ownership Change Form, however, it can not be completed
until the turnover and the first BOA meeting. At the first meeting a board of
directors will be elected and then the board elects officers. Then the BOA
president can sign the Change Form.
As you wrote in your letter dated May 12, 2005 to Mr. eirck, Lake Renaissance
BOA President, I "should have notified the Division prior to transfer so that
the maintenance and deed restriction issues could be resolved ahead of time,
making the transfer cf the permit much smoother." The reason I bring this up is
I do not want to run into the same problem with Upper Reach. Therefore, I am
notifying the Division that we are planning on turning over the Upper Reach
Extension BOA and permit in the next 3.0 -- 45 days. I will be able send in the
Change Form once this is done and the BOA president is elected. Please let me
know if there are any deficiencies before the turnover. Otherwise after the
owners take over the HOA there has to be a vote and amendment by the BOA to make
any changes. As I explained before, creating amendments and votes after the turn
over can become very cumbersome, frustrating and something we would like to
avoid.
Thank you for your help.

I think it would be easier to contact Yates Perkins at my office to have her
get in touch with the homeowners. She is our customer service rep. Her # is
256-2700 or Yates@galardeandcompany.com.
Available dates are August 30 or 31; Sept. 1, 7 or 8. Let me know what is
good for you and I will have Yates contact the homeowners. I suppose a good
time would be around 5:00 - 6:00 in the evening?
Thanks for your help. And I am curious, do the homeowners always come to the
inspection meetings, because it seems it would be difficult to get them all
there, especially if you have 50 or more homeowners.
Thanks,
John

Iot, including driveways and sidewalks, does not exceed the allowable built -upon area.
Once the lot transfer is complete, the built -upon area may not be revised without approval
from the Division of Water Quality, and responsibility for meeting the built -upon area
limit is transferred to the individual property owner.
3. If an Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is required to review plans for compliance
with the BUA limit, the plans reviewed must include all proposed built -upon area. Any
approvals given by the ARC do not relieve the homeowner of the responsibility to
maintain compliance with the permitted BUA limit.
4. The permittee shall submit to the Director and shall have received approval for revised
plans, specifications, and calculations prior to construction, for any modification to the
approved plans, including, but not limited to, those Iisted below:

b. Project name change.
C. Transfer of ownership.
d. Redesign or addition to the approved amount of built -upon area.
e. Further subdivision; acquisition, or sale of all or part of the project area. The
project area is defined as all property owned by the permittee, for which
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan approval or a CAMA Major permit was
sought.
f. Filling in, altering, or piping of any vegetative conveyance shown on the approved
plan.
5. The Director may determine that other revisions to the project should require a
modification to the permit.
6. The Director may notify the permittee when the permitted site does not meet one or more
of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within the time frame specified in the notice,
the permittee shall submit a written time schedule to the Director for modifying the site to
meet minimum requirements. The permittee shall provide copies of revised plans and
certification in writing to the Director that the changes have been made.

< IV. INFILTRATION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
1. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the infiltration system for erosion,
trash accumulation, vegetative cover, and general condition.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow
vegetated cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow
structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved
design specifications.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when
depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored
to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water
table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed.
Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner
that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream,
etc.).
A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original
design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used
to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not
readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
When the design depth reads _- feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall be
removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin.
If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original
design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater
control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the perforniance of the five
maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any
changes to the system or responsible party.

it includes any drainage from the existing subdivision, Mr. Galarde will
need to either reroute it around the proposed infiltration basin or make
arrangements with the existing subdivision MOA to make them contribute
their share of mainteance costs. It is unfair to saddle the six lot
owners with the maintenance of an infiltration basin if it will be
treating runoff from outside of their small 6-lot extension. A thorough

Narrative
Description:
The site entrance is located off Beasley Road in the upper reach subdivision.
Total site acreage is 2.66 ac; approx. 2.66 acres will be disturbed.
'Che runoff from the site was estimated using the rational Method, 10 year design
storm and rainfall date for the area.
Construction is scheduled to begin as soon as necessary permits are acquired.
The purpose of this project is to create a residential subdivision.
Erosion Control Measures:
The attached plans and specifications state or show required Sediment and
Erosion Control measures to be taken.
Outlet protection will be placed at all pipe outlets. Silt fence will be installed as
shown on plan and all other places sediment has the ability to leave the site. A gravel
construction entrance will be constructed at the entrance.
The sediment trap to be installed per plan & inlet protection placed around all inlets.
Construction Sequence:
The gravel construction entrance,silt fence and sediment traps will be installed
prior to any land disturbance. Clearing will take place first then all the piping and then
the road built.
Stormwater treatment:
All the run off from impervious surfaces proposed on this site will be infiltrated in
a permited citylstate pond.
Maintenance Plan
l . All erosion control measures will. be checked every 7 days or after each rain
producing '/2 inches or more which ever comes first.
2. Sediment will be removed from behind silt fences where sediment is 0.5 feet deep
and repair fabric if torn, leaking or failing.
3. Inspect and refresh construction entrance with a new laycr of gravel as necessary.
4. Remove sediment from around inlet protection when %z full or when fabric needs
repair.
5. Check sediment basins after periods of significant runoff. Remove sediment and
restore the basin to its original dimensions when sediment accumulates to one-
half the design depth.
Check the embankment, spillways, and outlet for erosion damage; and inspect the
embankment for piping and settlement. ,Make all necessary repairs immediately_ .
Remove all trash and other debris from the riser and pool area.
6. Inspect temporary sediment traps after each significant rainfall. Remove sediment
and restore the trap to its original dimensions Nvhen the sediment has accumulated
to one-half the design depth of the trap. Place the sediment that is removed in the
designed disposal area and replace the contaminated part of the gravel facing.
Check the structure for damage from erosion or piping. Periodically check the
depth of the spillway to ensure it is a minimum of 1.5 ft below the low point of
the embankment. Immediately fill any settlement of the embankment to slightly
above grade. Any riprap displaced from the spillway must be replaced
immediately.
After all sediment -producing areas have been permanently stabilized, remove the
structure and all unstable sediment. Smooth the area to blend with the adjoining
areas and stabilize properly.
7. Inspect riprap outlet structures after heavy rains to see if any erosion around or
below the riprap has taken place or if stones have been dislodged. Immediately
make all needed repairs to prevent further damage.

Summary of Services Performed (field test data, locations, elevations & depths are estimates) & Individuals Contacted.
The undersigned arrive on site, as requested, to run 2 infiltration tests at designated locations.
Upon arrival, the technician hand augered a hole at each of the 2 locations to find the seasonal
high water table and to classify_and collect the underlying soils. The seasonal high water table
,,vas fourid to be 48" at both of the locations. Each infiltration test was then ran at 24" below
the existing grade. At location 91 the water infiltration rate was 1.85 inches/min and at
location ##2 it was 1.9 inches/min.
