vegetated area shown on the approved plan must be maintained at a minimum of 100'
long, maintain 5:1 (H: V) side slopes or flatter, have a longitudinal slope no steeper than
5%, carry the flow from a 10 year storm in a non -erosive manner, maintain a dense
vegetated cover, and be located in either a dedicated common area or a recorded drainage
easement.
4. No piping shall be allowed except those minimum amounts necessary to direct runoff
beneath an impervious surface such as a road or under driveways to provide access to
lots.
Runoff conveyances other than the curb outlet system swales, such as perimeter ditches,
must be vegetated with side slopes no steeper than 3:1 (H:V).
II. SCHEDULE OF COMPLIANCE

Linda,
Here-s a picture of one of the "non -discharging swales" that is being constructed as allowed by the permit issued to Inland Properties Group,
LCC: Sw8 040919.
I understand that work is underway to amend the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan since part of the road was being built on someone
else's property and parts of the new roadbed has to be relocated. Also, existing J. Bell Lane was not where it was shown on the permit
applications making installation of the sediment basin next to the road impossible as authorized. I believe there has been an NOV issued by
the Division of Land Quality. It would appear to me that the project is out of compliance with the coastal stormwater permit as well as the
NPDES Phase II construction stormwater permit as well.
We have serious concerns that the swales authorized by the coastal stormwater permit (issued pursuant to the nondischarge laws and rules of
the EMC) are in fact discharging systems. Such atormwater outfalls should be regulated as a "point source" of pollution under the NPDES
program. I-ve talked with Tom Reeder about our concerns with discharging swales and gave him a heads up that we plan to file a declaratory
ruling request with the EMC about this issue later this summer or fall. we will be asking the Commission to clarify that swales that
discharge to surface waters should be regulated as "point sources" under the NPDES program and not authorized as non -discharging drainage
systems. Of course, we would like to see this practice stopped or at least these discharging swales placed under an NPDES permit prior to
having to go to the Commission if DNQ agrees with our legal reasoning on this issue.
Approving these discharging swales has been standard operating practice based on policy that was adopted.by DNQ over the years, and I know
that you are just implementing that policy. However, I wanted you to be aware that we're planning to seek clarification of this practice in
terms of consistency with the requirements of the federal Clean water Act.
Since a permit modification should be forthcoming on the existing permits issued to Inland Properties, I would encourage DWO to find that
these swales are discharging drainage system and require the applicants to apply for and receive an NPDES stormwater permit.
with best regards,
Todd

I have not been informed about that situation. I will be requesting that the permittee seek either a plan revision or a permit modification
for the project.
As far as I can remember, low density swales have never been considered a discharging stormwater treatment system under the stormwater
rules. However, I will verify this with legdl counsel as soon as counsel becomes available.

Dear Linda,
You may know that Inland Properties was forced to stop work on their road because of a property dispute with the adjacent landowner who
originally sold them their right-of-way. From new survey stakes that have appeared along the new road alignment yesterday, it appears
that they intend to move the road to the east (around 5 feet or so). This is because they were building the new road and drainage
swales on property they did not own.
I don't know if your office has been notified of this situation, but I would expect that they need to amend the stormwater permit they
were issued to reflect the change in design. The location of the proposed roadside swales and how they intend to maintain the required
minimum of a 3-to-1 slope is of particular interest to me.
Although I know swales that discharge to waters of the state are routinely approved, I would like to request that you ask your legal
council whether or not such designs can be legally authorized under the coastal stormwater rules. The North Carolina stormwater
Management Policy and ensuing rules governing permits for "low density" developments in the twenty coastal counties are set forth in
accordance with N.C. Gen Stat. 5143-215.1(d), which applies only to -Applications and Permits for Sewer Systems, Sewer System Extensions
and Pretreatment Facilities, Land Application of waste, and for wastewater Treatment Facilities Not Discharging to the Surface waters of
the State", and Section 2H.0200 of Chapter 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, entitled "waste Not Discharged to Surface
Waters-, and which refers specifically to "stormwater management system[s]... which [do] not discharge to surface waters of the State.-
N.C. Admin. Code tit. 15A, 2H.0202. Discharging systems that contain outfalls to waters of the state, such as the swales designed for
this road, should be reviewed and regulated as a "point source" and "stormwater outfall" and not as a non -discharging system. In fact,
when this road is accepted by NC DOT, these Swale outlets will then be defined as "outfalls,^ and regulated pursuant to NC DOT-s Phase 1
NPDES Stormwater permit. At that point, I'm concerned that NC DOT will have stormwater outfalls with discharges that will be violating
water quality standards (at least for fecal coliforms).

Trent,
I didnIt take another picture, but the sediment basin constructed by inland Properties is again eroding into the J. Bell Lane
right of way. Our neighbor Alton Rouse has worked to fix this problem to keep J. Bell Lane functional, and not the developers.
Alton is keeping the road passable on his own initiative and at his own expense --maintenance that I think should be the
responsibility of the developers.
You probably know that work on the road has stopped as a result of a property dispute. It appears that the road was constructed
to far to the west on Julian week's property. There was a meeting of all these parties on site yesterday, and there are now new
survey stakes that indicate the road will be moved further east by about 5 feet or so. I don't think this realignment is
consistent with the approved sedimentation and erosion control plan. As for the sediment basin constructed next to J. Bell Lane,
it is already substantially further east (by 10 feet or so) than showed on the plans and the approved intersection with J. Bell
Lane can not be built as shown on the approved
plans.
will you require an amendment of your approved plan prior to continued construction of the road? And if so, will there be an
opportunity to address the fact that the sediment basin is eroding into the J. Bell Lane right of way that is used by dozens of
existing property owners? If we have a big storm, I'm afraid J. Bell Lane will be made impassible by the current design.
Thanks for your help on this.
with beat regards,
Todd

Todd,
It is my understanding that a plan revision is already in the works in part because of the sediment trap location and the proximity
to the road. I was not aware of the meeting on -site yesterday but I would not be surprised if this was the subject of the meeting.
I was not aware that Alton Rouse had done the work to repair the gullies at J. Bell Rd. I had contacted Sunland about it and they
said they would take care of it, so I just assumed it was them. The developer is responsible for the maintenance of the trap.
As far as what is taken into account in the approval of plane or a revision, I will let Dan respond to you on that matter. He is out
of the office today but I will cc him on the email.
Thanks

Dear Mr. Lewis,
We are in receipt of questionstcomments emailed to us on June 15, 2005 for the
referenced project. We provide the following information to allow you to continue the
stormwater review (item numbers correspond to your email):
1. Color coded Drainage Area Map enclosed (3 sheets).
2. Revised covenants. Copy of proposed covenants attached. If acceptable, I will forward
these covenants to Owner's attorney for signature and adoption.
3. Feel free to consolidate plans into single set. Had we known of developer's expedited
development schedule, we would have prepared as single plan set instead of 3 as we
did.
4. Your assumption is correct. BUA listed does include all (house, driveways, etc)
surfaces. We have revised Sheet 2 as suggested.
5. No lots have been sold. Covenants have not yet been recorded.
We are hopeful that this response addresses all concerns and that the permit can be
issued in the near future. Should you have questions or additional concerns, please feel free to
contact mew. _

Dave:
The Morada Bay modification received on June 15, 2005, is incomplete. Please
provide the following information prior to accepting the application for review:
1. Provide a swale drainage area map. Delineate the one drainage area for each
proposed swale.
2. Add one more statement to the proposed covenants regarding the curb outlet
swales, as attached.
3. FYI- I will be consolidating the 3 plan sets into one approved plan set.
Duplicated sheets will be removed to reduce the bulk.
4. The BUA breakdown section on page 2 of the application notes that the drives for
11 lots are included in the "buildings" total. What 11 lots are you referring to?
It is assumed that the BUA per lot will cover all of the built -upon area on that
lot, including house, patios, driveway, walks, outbuildings, etc. There is no need
to note this on the application.
5. Please verify that no lots have been sold in any of these phases and that the
previously permitted deed restrictions have not been recorded. If any lots have
been sold under the previously permitted BUA amounts, you will need to amend the
application and the deed restrictions to specify those lots.

RE: Project Name: Morada Bay Sec 1
Project 1D: Carte-2005-088
County: Carteret
Compliance Deadline: 15 days from receipt
Dear Sir or Madam:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
On May 19, 2005, personnel of this office inspected a project located on J Bell Ln, Ocean in Carteret, County, North
Carolina. This inspection was performed to determine compliance with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution
Control Act (Act) of 1973. The inspection revealed a land -disturbing activity of approximately 7.0 acres being
conducted.
It is our understanding that you and/or your firm are responsible for this land -disturbing activity. The purpose of this
letter is to inform you that this activity was found to be in violation of the Act, G.S. 113A-50 to 66, Title 15A, North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC), Chapter 4. If you feel that you are not responsible for the following violations,
please notify this office immediately.
The violations that were found are:
b. Failure to conduct a land -disturbing activity in accordance with the provisions of an approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan. 15 NCAC 4B .0113.
Sediment traps 1-4 have not been installed per the approved plan. The 404 wetland and areas at the road
crossing have been cleared and graded without the installation of adjacent traps. Silt fence posts have
been installed but not the fabric in this area. The silt fence should not block the flow of the channel but
rather be installed down to the edge of the channel. The sediment traps should be installed prior to any
additional grading. The 36" RCP and Rip Rap Scour Pad should be installed as soon as possible in order
to limit exposure time.
f. Failure to take all reasonable measures to protect all public and private property from damage by such land -
disturbing activities. 15A NCAC 4B .0105.
Erosive conditions exist now where sediment traps 1 & 4 should have been installed.

To correct these violations, you must:
1. Install sediment traps and any additional erosion control measures per the approved plan. Complete the work at 404
wetland road crossing in a timely manner.
2. Take all reasonable measures to protect public and/or private property from the said land disturbing activity by
installing adequate and/or necessary erosion control measures.
The penalty for an initial violation could be an assessment of up to $5,000.00. A time period for compliance is not
required for enforcement of this violation pursuant to NCGS 113A-61.1(c) and NCGS 113A-64(a)(1). Therefore, the
initial violation may be referred to the Director, Division of Land Resources, for appropriate action.
Please be advised that if these violations are not corrected within 15 days of receipt of this notice whichever term is
longer, the Director, Division of Land Resources, will be requested to take appropriate legal action against you pursuant
to NCGS 113A-64. That action could be the assessment of a civil penalty, and the amount may be up to $5000 per day
for each day of the violation. The penalty may be assessed from the date of the violation, NCGS 113A-61(a)(1). If the
violations are corrected within the time period specified for compliance, no further legal action will be pursued.
Please be advised that any new land -disturbing activity associated with this project should not begin until the area
presently disturbed is brought into compliance with the Act. When corrective actions are complete, you should notify
this office so that work can be inspected. You should not assume that the property is in compliance with the Act until we
have notified you. After installation, all erosion control measures must be maintained in proper working order until the
site is completely stabilized.
We solicit your cooperation, and would like to avoid taking further enforcement action. At the same time, it is your
responsibility to understand and comply with the requirements of the Act. Copies of the relevant statute and
administrative rules may be examined at this office or will be sent to you upon request. Should you have questions

To: "Ed Beck" <Ed.Beck@ncmail.net>
Ed,
I'm still very confused why Sikes Branch is not classified as ORW. Below is 15A
NCAC 213.0300 that says that all the creeks and their tributaries within the area of
Bogue Sound classified as ORW are reclassified as ORW with the exception of Hunting
Island, Goose and Broad Creeks.
(3) Bogue Sound (including Intracoastal Waterway from White Oak River Basin to Beaufort Inlet)
(Index No. 20-36) from Bogue Inlet to a line across Bogue Sound from the southwest side of mouth of
Gales Creek to Rock Point and all tributaries except Hunting Island Creek, Goose Creek, and Broad
Creek were reclassified from Class SA to Class SA ORW
It is my understanding that all these tributaries (even the freshwater segments) take on the
classification of the SA receiving waters. The schedule of classifications published by DWQ
is confusing in this regard. It appears that Sanders Creek and its tributaries was reclassified
in 1990 in one part of the schedule, and but its eastern fork and its tributary Sike Branch
were not updated at the same time. See highlighted sections below. In fact, the
information contained in the schedule conflicts with itself.
Bogue Sound (Including Intracoastal Waterway)
From Bogue Inlet (from a SA;ORW 01101190 20-36-(0.5) line running from the eastern mouth of

I understand your concern about development within areas draining to SA waters and will attempt to
respond to your questions. Sikes Branch is classified SA HQW and is tributary to Sanders Creek
which is classified SA ORW. You are correct that it is on the state's impaired waters list, though not
yet approved by EPA. This is based on the fact that the waters are closed for the harvesting of
shellfish, thereby taking away the intended usage. TMDL development will be required.
The Marada Bay stormwater permit was issued for a low density design in compliance with the
requirements within areas draining to SA waters. Vegetated swales and swales stabilized with
armoring are specifically not included in the definition of a Stormwater Collection System, which the
regulation defines as any conduit, pipe, channel, curb, or gutter for the primary purpose of transporting
(not treating) runoff. Therefor, systems designed to comply with the low density requirements for SA
drainagc areas are not considered to have outfalis that constitute point source discharges of
stormwater.
As stated previously, the Division will be required to develop a TMDL and management plan for
dealing with the impaired status of the waters. While the final outcome of this process is not known,
it is my understanding that the requirements contained in the stormwater regulation are considered to
be sufficiently protective for development in SA drainage areas. When the TMDL and management
plan are developed, the resulting requirements could be more restrictive. As you know, the
stormwater program is BMP based and does not require monitoring for bacteria or other constituents.
Intuitively, I would not expect the stormwater outleting from the swales to meet the bacteria criteria
for class SA waters. The design is, however, consistent and compliant with the requirements of the
state stormwater regulations.
I will be happy to discuss this with you further.

Dear Ed,
On January 25, 2005 you signed and issued coastal stormwater permit number SW8040919 to
IVlorada Bay Section I. This permit authorizes the construction of a subdivision road with swales
armored with rip rap that drain directly into Sikes Branch. The permit application notes that this
receiving stream is classified as SA/HQW. It fails to also identify the stream as classified as
ORW as specified in 15A NCAC 02B .0312. In addition, the stream is listed as "impaired" on the
303b list.
Over the past couple of years, you have made excellent written and oral' presentations to a number
of coastal local governments informing them that discharging stormwater directly into SA and SB

Re; New Direct Stormwater Discharges to SA Waters?
waters is inconsistent with the Clean Water Act. As you know, this policy has resulted in major
expenditures by some local governments as well as the State of North Carolina to find alternatives
to such discharges — such as the Emerald Isle stormwater infiltration project on Coast Guard Road.
However, as illustrated by this permit, DWQ is sending a conflicting message regarding prohibitions
on stormwater discharges to SA waters by routinely approving new stormwater outfalls directly into
SA waters under the coastal stormwater rules. In this case, new direct discharges were approved
to impaired ORW waters (this portion of Sikes Branch is an unnamed freshwater tributary to
SA/ORW waters). These outfalls take the form of "swales" that convey polluted runoff.
The developers of this subdivision road plan to turn its ownership over to NC DOT. Once DOT
assumes the liability for the road, these discharges will be covered under its Phase I NPDES
Stormwater Permit. The outfalls from these drainage swales fits the definition of "outfall" and "point
source discharge" included in the new NC DOT Phase 1 permit that took effect April 1, 2005. This
permit defines "Outfall" as: "The point of wastewater or stormwater discharge from a discrete
conveyance system. See also point source discharge." "Point Source Discharge of Stormwater" is
defined as: "Any discernible, confined and discrete conveyance including, but not specifically limited
to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, conduit, well, or discrete fissure from which stormwater is or
may be discharged to waters of the state."
The design of the swales authorized by the permit calls for the installation of geotextile filter fabric
under rip rap. Clearly, the engineer who designed this stormwater drainage system
anticipates rapid movement of stormwater through these swales. They are hardened to try to
prevent scour and erosion. However, we all know that the bacteria levels in the
stormwater discharged from these new stormwater outfalls will consistently have fecal coliform
levels that exceed the water quality standards for the receiving SA waters. There is an abundance
of scientific evidencing documenting this problem, and for that reason, DWQ has informed local
governments that it is illegal to discharge stormwater directly to SA and SB waters.
Our Coastkeeper Program is currently gearing up to begin routine stormwater sampling of fecal
coliform levels in a number of stormwater outfalls. The outfalls approved by this permit will make a
prime candidate for this sampling program since they will easily accessible from a public road. We
are certain that our sampling will clearly document a continuing pattern of water quality standard
violations once this data is collected.
Where we find through our sampling a continued pattern of water quality violations, it is our
intention to seek enforcement actions against point source dischargers who violate water quality
standards pursuant to the Clean Water Act.
I would appreciate written responses to the following questions to make sure that our understanding
of this situation is accurate and that we have not misinterpreted any existing rules, classifications or
DWQ written policies:
1. Is Sikes Branch at the location of the outfalls from these swales classified SA as indicated on
the permit application for the above referenced project?
2. Is Sikes Branch classified as OR'W waters?
3. Is Sikes Branch listed as impaired waters on the 303b list?
4. Will DOT (once it has assumed ownership of the road) have to define the discharge points from
these swale as "outfalls" based upon the definition of "outfall" in its Phase 1 NPDES permit?
5. Will DOT (once it has assumed ownership of the road) have to define the discharge from these
outfalls as "point source discharges of stormwater" based upon the definition of "point sources"
contained in its Phase 1 NPDES permit?
6. Does DWQ have the authority pursuant to the Clean Water Act to allow "point sources of
discharges of stormwater" that violate water quality standards?
2 of 3 10/27/2005 8:32 AM
Re: New Direct Stormwater Discharges to SA Waters?
7. Do you expect the stormwater discharged from the outfalls of these drainage swales to comply
with the fecal coliform standard assigned to SA waters?
8. How is approving permits that add additional discharges of stormwater to an "impaired" stream
consistent with DWQ's obligations to protect and restore water quality under the Clean Water Act?
Your candid and prompt response to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
