Management Permit Regulations

Stormwater Project No. SW8 050929'
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Greenhouse:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of your Erosion Control Plan application for the subject
utility project. Staff of the Wilmington Regional Office has reviewed your application for the applicability
of the Stormwater Management rules to this project. Based on our review, you do not appear to be
proposing development activities on this site at this point in time that would be subject to the
stormwater requirements as provided for in 15A NCAC 2H.1000. However, be advised that other
regulations will potentially apply to your proposed activities.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 26.0231 and Division policy, new or continued ditching activities after
March 1, 1999, may be a violation of state wetland standards. Violation of these standards may result in
the assessment of civil penalties and other requirements to bring the project into compliance without
additional wetlands impacts. In addition to the wetland standards, if your project disturbs one acre or
more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is also subject to the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You are required
to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria.
If at any time in the future, development of any part of this site is planned, as defined in NCAC
2H.1000, or you do not develop the project in the manner indicated in the application, you must apply
for and receive a Stormwater Management Permit prior to construction. If you have any questions
concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].
Sinc ely,
