W.E. Partners 1 — Perdue Cofield
Dear Ms. Harris: Cofield, NC, Hertford County
A Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources file review has determined that
Stormwater Permit SW7100902 for a stormwater treatment system consisting of a
bioretention basin serving the W. E. Partners 1- Perdue Cofield project located at 242
Perdue Road, Cofield, INC expires on December 31, 2021. This is a reminder that
permit renewal applications are due 180 days prior to expiration. We do not have a
record of receiving a renewal application.
Please submit a completed permit renewal application along with a $505.00 fee for
Permit renewal. Permit application forms for renewal can be found on our website at:
https //deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-

Statutes and the Coastal Stormwater rules require that this property be covered under a
stormwater permit. Failure to maintain a permit subjects the owner to assessment of
civil penalties.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at [phone]. 1 will be glad to

BiNttcntliMperation and Maintenance Agreement
I will keep a maintenance record on this BMP. This maintenance record will be kept in a
log in a known set location. Any deficient BMP elements noted in the inspection will be
corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important operation and maintenance procedures:
— Immediately after the bioretention cell is established, the plants will be watered
twice weekly if needed until the plants become established (commonly six
weeks).
— Snow, mulch or any other material will NEVER be piled on the surface of the
bioretention cell.
— Heavy equipment will NEVER be driven over the bioretention cell.
— Special care will be taken to prevent sediment from entering the bioretention cell.
— Once a year, a soil test of the soil media will be conducted.
After the bioretention cell is established, I will inspect it once a month and within 24
hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal
County). Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location
and will be available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.
