Dear Mr. Exum:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a complete 8 year Stormwater Management Permit Renewal
Application for the subject project on. The Division is hereby notifying you that permit SW8 020510 has been
renewed on February 16, 2021, and shall be effective until February 15, 2029. Please keep this permit on file
at all times. Please note that the renewed, updated, and re -issued permit does not impose new or different terms;
it merely restates some of the previous terms to provide you with a better understanding of your obligations
under the permit.
The renewal and reissuance of this stormwater permit does not imply that the site is currently in compliance
with the terms and conditions of this state stormwater permit. The plans originally approved on November 25,
2002 and most recently modified on January 5, 2021, will remain in full force and effect in accordance with the
regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000. This permit is issued in the original permittee's name and
will be transferred in a separate action after this issuance.
This permit is subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the
conditions listed in this permit regarding the Operation and Maintenance of the BMP(s), recordation of deed
restrictions, procedures for changes of ownership, transferring the permit, and renewing the permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system, to record
deed restrictions, to transfer the permit, or to renew the permit, will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request
an adjudicatory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). The
written petition must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed with
the OAH within thirty (30) days of receipt of this permit. You should contact the OAH with all questions
regarding the fling fee (if a filing fee is required) and/or the details of the filing process at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714, or via telephone at 919-431-3000, or visit their website at
www.NCOAH.com. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, need additional copies of the permit or approved plans, please contact Daniel Sams in
the Wilmington Regional Office, at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Brian Wrenn, Director

II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE

(such as swales) shown on the approved plans as part of the stormwater management
system without submitting a revision to the permit and receiving approval from the
Division.
2. The permittee is responsible for verifying that the proposed built -upon area for the
entire lot, 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 Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, and responsibility
for meeting the built -upon area limit is transferred to the individual property owner.
3. If an Architectural Review Board or Committee 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 Board do not relieve the homeowner of
the responsibility to maintain compliance with the permitted BUA limit.
4. No person or entity, including the permittee, shall alter any component shown in the
approved plans and specifications. Prior to the construction of any modification to the
approved plans, the permittee shall submit to the Director, and shall have received
approval for modified plans, specifications, and calculations including, but not limited
to, those listed below. For changes to the project or SCM that impact the
certifications, a new or updated certification(s), as applicable, will be required and a
copy must be submitted to the appropriate DEQ regional office upon completion of the
modification.
a. Any modification to the approved plans and specifications, regardless of size
including the SCM(s), BUA, details, etc.
b. Redesign or addition to the approved amount of BUA or to the drainage area.
c. Further development, subdivision, acquisition, lease or sale of any, all or part of the
project and/or property area as reported in the approved plans and specifications.
d. Altering, modifying, removing, relocating, redirecting, regrading, or resizing of any
component of the approved SCM(s), the stormwater collection system and/or
vegetative conveyance shown on the approved plan.
e. The construction of any allocated future BUA.
f. The construction of any permeable pavement, #57 stone area, public trails, or
landscaping material to be considered a permeable surface that were not included
in the approved plans and specifications.
g. Other modifications as determined by the Director.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. During construction, erosion shall be kept to a minimum and any eroded areas of the
system will be repaired immediately.

8. Upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and
prior to operation of this permitted facility, the permittee shall cause a certification from
an appropriate designer for the system installed to be submitted, 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. A modification
may be required for those deviations.
9. 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.

a. The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State
Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8 020510 Modification, as issued
by the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 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 Energy,
Mineral and Land Resources.
e. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plans may not take place
without the concurrence of the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources.
f. Impervious Area required to be recorded is as summarized in Attachment B.
These allotted amounts include 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

contain all of the statements above, the signature of the Permittee, the deed book
number and page, and the stamp/signature of the Register of Deeds.
