L Monthly, or after every runoff producing rainfall event, whichever comes first:
A. Inspect the trash rack; remove accumulated debris, repair/replace if it is not functioning.
B. Inspect and clear the orifice of auy obstructions. If a pump is used as the drawdown
mechanism, pump operation will be�checked. A log of test nuns of the pump will be kept
on site and made available to DWQipersonnel upon request.
C. Inspect the pond side slopes and grassed inlet swales; remove trash, ' and repair eroded areas
before the next rainfall event.
D. If the pond is operated with a vegetated filter, the filter will be checked for sediment
accumulation, trash accumulation, erosion and proper operation of the flow spreader
mechanism. Repairsicleaning will be done as necessary.
II. Quarterly; (Four times a year):
ffm
A. Inspect the collection system 0e. ?catch basins, piping, grasp swales) for. proper
functioning. Accumulated trash will be cleared from basin grates, basin bottoms, and piping
will be checked for obstructions and cleared as required-
B. Pond inlet pipes will be checked for: undercutting. Riprap or other energy dissipation
structtaes will be replaced, and broken pipes will be repaired.
semi-annually (twice a year):
A. Accumulated sediment from the bottom of the outlet structure will be removed.
The forebay depth will be checked at various points. Sediment removal is required when the
depth is reduced to 75 % of the original forehay design depth of 4.5'
Grassed swales, including the vegetated filter if applicable, will be reseeded twice a year as
necessary.

IV. Annually (Once a year):
A. The pond depth wr11 be checked at various points. Sediment removal is required when the
depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth or 3% whichever is greater. Design
depth is 6 '.' ', measured vertically from the orifice down to the pond's bottom.
Sediment must be removed to at least the original design depth.
V. General:.
A. Mowing of the side slopes will be accomplished according to the season. Maximum grass
height will be 6".
B. Cattails ate encouraged along the pond perimeter, however they will be removed whew they
cover mote than 1/2 the surface area ofthe pond. The best time to cut them is at the end of
the growing season, in November. Environmentally sensitive chemicals for use in killing
cattails can also be used. Contact your nearest Agricultural Pxtension Agent-
C. The orifice/pump is designed to draw down the pond in 2-5 days. If drawdown is not
accomplished in that time, the orifice will be replaced with a larger or smaller orifice. Slow
drawdown may be attributed to a clogged system. The source of the clogging will be found
and eliminated.
D. All components of the detention pond system will be kept in good working order- Repair
or replacemcm components will meet the original design specifications as per the approved
stormwater plan. If previously approved components are determined to be ineffective, the
component must be redesigned and/or replaced.

We have received your January 23 letter requesting additional information on the
above referenced project. In response to your letter, we offer the following comments.
1. Additional spot elevations and flow arrows have been added to the plans to help
show that the runoff will be directed into the pond.
2. Runoff will be directed to a single low area in the pavement, as indicated by flow
arrows. A riprap energy dissipator has been added to the plans to protect the
transition from the pavement to the pond.
3. It has been noted on the plans that all roof drainage must be directed into the
pavement area for collection into the detention pond.
4. A note has been added to indicate the elevation of the top and bottom of the
vegetated shelf around the detention pond.
5. The requested riser detail note has been added to the plans.
6. Mr. Joe Johnson is the Secretary / Treasurer of 904 Storage, Inc. This has been
added to the attached application.
7. The 90% TSS Removal Chart was used in calculating the required surface area of
the detention pond.

Dear Mr. Bowman:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for 904
Storage on November 20, 1997. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the
application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. The collection of the runoff into the pond is questionable. Not enough swales, contours, or
spot elevations were included to verify that runoff will reach the pond.
2. If you intend to sheet flow runoff to a single low area in the pavement and then direct it into
the pond from there, please indicate this, and provide stabilization such as riprap, curbing or
a concrete Swale at that transition point.
3. Note on the plans that all roof drainage must be directed into the pavement area for collection
into the detention pond.
4. Note the begin and end elevation of the 6:1 shelf on the section detail. Please add the 6:1 shelf
on the pond side of the berm which separates the pond from the forebay.
5. Please indicate on the pond section that the riser detail can be found on sheet C2.
6. What is the title of Joe Johnson? Please remember to check the application to make sure the
client has added his/her title.
7. Please specify the TSS chart used for calculation, 85 % or 90%. If 85 % is used, please add
a vegetated filter and detail to the plans.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
This office has reviewed the subject sedimentation and erosion control plan. We find the plan to
be acceptable and hereby issue this letter of approval with comments as attached.
Please be advised that Title 15A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 4B.0017(a) requires
that a copy of the approved plan be on file at the job site. Also, you should consider this letter to give
the Notice required by GS 1 13A-61 (d) approved plan. The last page(s) which lists approval comments
should be copied and attached to the sedimentation and erosion control plan that is maintained on site.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is performance oriented, requiring
protection of the natural resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this
project, it is determined that the erosion and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statute
113A-51 thru 66), this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation to insure
compliance with the Act.
Recognizing the desirability of early coordination of sedimentation control, we believe that it
would be beneficial if a pre -construction conference could be arranged to discuss the approved plan for
this project. Please contact this office and let us know the date of construction start-up and the date of
pre -construction conference so that we may attend.
We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions; please contact
our office.

1. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion
measures prove insufficient, the developer must take those additional steps necessary to stop
erosion from leaving this site.
2. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the
proposed development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing
ditch or channel is prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regraded with side slopes of 2
horizontal to 1 vertical or less steep. Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is
considered new earth work and is subject to the same erosion control requirements as new
ditches.
3. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the
development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This
could include the Division of Coastal Management under CAMA requirements, the Division of
Water Quality under stormwater regulations, the U.S. 'Army Corps of Engineers under Article 404
jurisdiction, local County or Town Agencies under their local ordinances, or others that may be
required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval. However, in the case of
a Cease and Desist Order from the Corps of Engineers, that Order would only apply to wetland
areas. All highland would still have to be in compliance with the Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act.
4. If any area on site falls under the jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the
developer is responsible to the orders of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Any erosion control
measures that fall within jurisdictional wetland area must be relocated to the transition point
between the wetlands and the highlands to assure that the migration of sediment will not occur.
If that relocation presents a problem or contradicts any requirements of the Corps of Engineers, it
is the responsibility of the developer to inform the Land Quality Section Regional Office so that an
adequate contingency plan can be made to assure sufficient erosion control on site. Failure to do
so will be considered a violation of this approval.
5. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other
approved source. A single use borrow site or an area to waste material is only permissible if it is
operated under total control of the Financially Responsible person or firm who is developing this
site and a plan modification is submitted to this office that includes the area in question.
6. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed 3.5
acres. Exceeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan.
and additional application fee. Any addition in impervious surface, over that already noted on the
approved plan, would also require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the erosion

control measures and stormwater retention measures.
7. The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and posts a maximum
of 8 feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire necessitates that the posts spacing distance is
reduced to no greater than 6 feet apart.
Page 2 of 2
8. Because the stormwater retention pond is shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation and
erosion control devices on this project, it is necessary that the pond and its collection system be
installed before any other grading takes place on site. If that proves impractical, a revised plan
must be submitted and approved that address erosion and sediment control needs during the
interim period until the stormwater pond is fully functioning.
9. A graveled construction entrance must be located at east point of access and egress available to
construction vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and
egress from the project site at a point without a graveled entrance
will be considered a violation of this approval.

I apologize for not responding earlier to your previous letter regarding
the subject project. I have been in contact with our Clients, Mr. Kenneth
Bridges and Mr. Joe Johnson, regarding the status of survey information that
we need to prepare the required Stormwater and Sedimentation/Erosion
Control Plans. At the request of our Clients, I have contacted Mr. Rick
Tompkins of Tompkins Land Surveying regarding a date that we may expect to
receive the necessary field information (including a topographical survey).
Mr. Tompkins has relayed to me that he expects to complete the field work
and mapping within two (2) weeks.
Since Mr. Johnson has provided our firm with a site plan for our use,
we will be able to complete our work within two weeks from the date of
receipt of the required field information. We will strive to submit the
required plans to both you and Mr. Dan Sams by early September.
Since I am forwarding you this letter via telecopier, the original will
follow via the LISPS.

Subject: 904 Storage
Land Quality Project No: 970215BR
Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Sams:
We have been retained by Messrs. Joe G. Johnson and Kenneth K.
Bridges of 904 Storage, Inc. to. coordinate the subject project with you and
Ms. Linda Lewis of the NCDWQ. We have reviewed your letters dated
February 24 and March 12, 1997. We have also reviewed Ms. Lewis' letter to
Mr. Johnson dated February 25, 1997 and Mr. Bridges letter to you dated
March 10, 1997.
As discussed during our fecent telephone conversation, 904 Storage,
Inc. acquired the subject property without subdividing it from a larger
"parent" parcel. The subject property is a 0.97 acre parcel as it was at the
time when it was purchased by 904 Storage in August 1996. The tax parcel
number of the subject property is 227003501. It is understood that you are
not counting the disturbed area on the adjacent unrelated project owned by J
& B Associates (i.e. the septic system repair work).
Enclosed is a copy of a site plan for the proposed improvements for this
project that we have received from Mr. Johnson. As shown on this site plan,
it is intended to leave an undisturbed area of 1,750 SF in the rear of the
property. The disturbed area between the right-of-way of NC 904 and the
existing edge of pavement is 750 SF. Therefore, the total disturbed area for
this project will be 41,253 SF (0.947 Ac.).

Please note that even if the total property area is disturbed (i.e. 42,253
SF or 0.970 Ac.), the inclusion of the disturbed area within the NC 904 right-
of-way (750 SF) will not cause the total land disturbance to be 1 acre. In the
worst case, even if all of the property area is disturbed, (inclusive of the
disturbance within the NC 904 right-of-way) the total land disturbance would
be 42,253 + 750 = 43,303 SF (0.987 Ac.).
Please note, as shown on the enclosed site plan, that silt fence has
been installed along the property line and around the driveway entrance.
Although not shown on the enclosed site plan, a construction entrance has
been provided using gravel between the existing edge of pavement of NC 904
and the proposed parking area. Since it is understood that sediment must
be prevented from leaving the site, Messrs. Johnson and Bridges will provide
any additional measures that may be required.
Hopefully, the provision of this additional information will alleviate
your previous concerns and the preparation and provision of a Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Plan will not be required. In the event that you disagree
with our Client's position and still require the submittal of a Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Plan, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Our Clients are certainly not attempting to circumvent the regulations 'end
stand ready to provide any necessary information if they make any changes
which would cause a land disturbance of 1 acre or more.
Since we are forwarding you a reduced copy of the site plan with this
letter via telecopier, we are forwarding the originals via the USPS.
As always, your attention to this matter is appreciated.

RE: 904 Storage, Mr. J.G. Johnson, AIA, PA
Project # 970215BR, Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Bridges:
We are in receipt of your March 10, 1997, letter and have reviewed the material that you
submitted. You are partially correct in your understanding of the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution
Control Act in that a plan is required in those instances in which the land -disturbing activity
comprises one acre or more in size. The size of the tract is not a relevant issue. If that were the
case then any Brunswick County golf course could be platted up in hundreds of tracts of 0.97 acres
each and developed without benefit of plan.
In the case of Mr. Johnson's site, certain land disturbing activities are obviously taking place
outside of the 0.97 acres that is shown on his site plan that was included in your. enclosures. For
example, you show a highway entrance from N.C. Hwy 904 that is clearly part of this site's overall
improvements. Likewise, there is a potential green area between the platted portion and the highway
edge that has been graded and will be landscaped. In addition, that is an access gate to the adjacent
areas that would imply that the adjoining property is part of an overall plan.
Considering these areas outside of the 0.97 acres, it seems reasonably clear that the total
active land disturbance has exceeded that one acre threshold. For that reason, we ask that Mr.
Johnson take the required steps outlined in our February 24, 1997. Our records indicate that the
letter was received at his Sunset Beach address on February 26, 1997; therefore, its twenty day
response date will be March 18, 1997. We will expect plan application by that date or at the very
least, indication that the plan will be finished in a reasonable number of days after that date.
We will appreciate your cooperation, and we are available if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
n <

In re: 904 Storage, Project No 97021513R, Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Sams,
This acknowledges receipt of your letter of February 24, 1997, addressed to Mr. J.G.
Johnson, AIA, PA, in which you cited the subject project to be in violation of NCGS 113A-50 to
66, and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4. Mr. Johnson and I are
associated in 904 Storage and he has asked me to respond to your letter.
It is my understanding that an erosion and sedimentation control plan is required only in
those instances in which the land -disturbing activity is on a tract comprising more than one acre. The
tract in question is comprised of only 0.97 acres as evidenced by the enclosed copies of the warranty
deed and site plan concerning the property. It did not, and does not, appear necessary to submit such
plan for this project. Since Ms. Lewis visit, and on the same day, a silt fence was placed on the
property. This property is owned by 904 Storage, Inc., a North Carolina corporation.
It is easy to see why Ms. Lewis may have been under the impression that more than one acre
was being disturbed. Simultaneous with the work being done by 904 Storage, Inc., J & B Associates
a North Carolina General Partnership was preparing a new septic tank field for the property which
it owns, immediately adjacent to the 904 Storage property. This activity is a culmination of almost
18 months of work in obtaining approval for the project, and had absolutely nothing to do with the
project by 904 Storage, Inc. It was coincidental that these two projects were being constructed at the
same time. Less than one acre was being disturbed by the project being completed by J & B
Associates. Copies of a site plan showing the project and a copy of the deed showing ownership of
the property in enclosed for your information.
It would be greatly appreciated if, under the foregoing circumstances, you would lift your
requirements that an erosion and sedimentation control plan be submitted to your office for approval,
and that measures, structures and/or devices, other than those already in place, be devised to control

erosion and retain sediment on site.
We would be grateful for your expeditious decision in this matter.
Sincerely,

Subject: REQUEST FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
PERMIT APPLICATION
904 Storage
Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On February 25, 1997, die Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of the Sedimentation Erosion Control
Notice of Violation for 904 Storage, which required that an Erosion Control Plan be submitted. The North Carolina
Administrative Code requires any project that must receive either a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan permit and/or
a CAMA major permit to apply for and receive a Stormwater Management Permit by the Division of Water Quality. Any
construction on the subject site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000
and may result in appropriate enforcement action by this Office.
Either a Stormwater Permit Application Package including 2 sets of plans, completed application form, fee, and
supporting documentation, or a written response regarding the status of this project and the expected submittal date must
be received in this Office no later than March 25, 1997, or the subject project file will be closed and construction may
experience a subsequent delay. If you have any questions, please call me at (910)-395-3900.
