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.

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.

System is sized to take into account the runoff at the ultimate built -out potential from all surfaces draining to the system, including any off -site drainage. Calculations attached. w` k. All side slopes stabilized with vegetated cover are no steeper than 11 (H:V). I. A pretreatment device such as a catch basin, grease trap, filter strip, grassed swale or sediment trap is provided. in Bottom of the device is covered with a layer of clean sand to an average depth of 4 inches or dense vegetative cover is provided. y N n. Vegetated filter is provided for overflow and detail is shown on plans (Required minimum length is 50 feet for SA waters, 30 feet for other waters). 1 �l o.

Form SWU-103 Rev 3.99 Page 2 of 3 < 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. Print Name and Title: 4rti.

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. 7. The stormwater management system shall be constructed in its entirety, vegetated and operational for its intended use prior to the construction of any built -upon surface. 8.

Upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be received from an appropriate designer for the system installed certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting documentation. Any deviations from the approved plans and specifications must be noted on the Certification. 10. If the stormwater system was used as an Erosion Control device, it must be restored to design condition prior to operation as a stormwater treatment device, and prior to occupancy of the facility. 4 State Stormwater Management Systems Permit No. SW8 030813 11. Decorative spray fountains will not be allowed in the stormwater treatment system 12. Permanent seeding requirements for the stormwater control must follow the guidelines established in the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. 13.

Prior to the sale of any lot, deed restrictions must be recorded which limit the built -upon area per lot to the amount as shown on the Project Data Sheet, per Section I, Part 2. The recorded statements must follow the form: a. The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8 030813, as issued by the Division of Water Quality under NCAC 2H.1000. b. The State of North Carolina is made a beneficiary of these covenants to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with the Stormwater Management Permit. C. These covenants are to run with the land and be binding on all persons and parties claiming under them. d. The covenants pertaining to stormwater may not be altered or rescinded without the express written consent of the State of North Carolina, Division of Water , Quality. e. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plans may not take place without the concurrence of the Division of Water Quality. The maximum built -upon area per lot is 4,000 square feet. This allotted amount includes any built -upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. g.
