13. On November 6, 2002, DWQ issued a Notice of Violation to B&D for violations
of Stormwater permit No. 921115 (the front pond), which was received by B&D.
14. The State did not issue any Notices of Violation to Wedgefield or Crosswinds.

the north bank of the pond due to swimming pool construction at that site.
17. There is limited access to the front pond because of the front berm between
College Road and the front pond and there are no other access easements to the
front pond,

MEMORANDUM
Date:— April 1, 2003
To: Mr. Bob Sledge
From: Linda Lewis'
Through: Rick Shiver
Subject: Request for Injunctive Relief
Project: SW8 930710 and SW8 921115 Crosswinds Subdivision
Location: New Hanover County
Dear Bob:
As of this date, repeated Notices of Violation, Enforcement Actions and meetings
with Dick Thompson of B & D Developers, his lawyer and his engineer have failed to
resolve the situation at Crosswinds. Mr. Thompson refuses to do anything.
The homeowners at Crosswinds have continued to experience flooding which
threatens their homes. The surface area of the pond permitted under 930710 is currently
only 1.4 acres when it should be 1.9 acres, and the pond permitted under 921115 has
fallen into a complete state of disrepair. Dye tests have confirmed that runoff which is
supposed to be draining to the 921115 pond is actually draining to the 930710 pond.
We are hereby requesting that you begin the process of seeking injunctive relief to
compel Mr. Thompson to provide the 1.9 acres of pond area in the 930710 pond and to
perform the necessary repairs and maintenance on the 921115 pond to comply with the
stormwater management permits.
Thank you.

Dear Mr. Thompson:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
Wilmington Regional Office
Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION -
Crosswinds South
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 921115
New Hanover County
On October 11, 2002, Wilmington Regional Office personnel performed a Compliance
Inspection of the project known as Crosswinds South, located at the comer of NC 132 (S.
College Road) and Wedgefield Drive in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The inspection
was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8
921115, issued to you on April 29, 1993.
The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 921115,
issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. As the permit holder of record, you
must comply with the conditions and terms of the permit until such time as the Division approves
a request to transfer the permit. The violations found are:
1. Failure to address the items listed in the past three inspection reports dated July
22, 1994, March 26, 1998, and October 26, 2000.
2. Failure to notify the Division and provide the necessary paperwork upon transfer
of ownership to the HOA.
3. Failure to provide the necessary inspection and maintenance for the permitted wet
detention pond, resulting in overgrown slopes, blocked access to the outlet
structure, questionable pump operation, slope erosion, and reduction of the
surface area by approximately 3,000 ft' due to silting in of the pond.
4. Modifying the outlet structure without first submitting a modification to the
Division for approval.
To correct these violations you must
1. Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to
correct the violations and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or

STORMWATER COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT
4.
Project Name: Crosswinds South
Project Number: SW8 921115 Control Measure: Wet Detention Pond with pump
Water Body: Mott Creek Classification: C Sw
Directions to site, address: Off South College Road at Wedgefield, neighboring Hidden Valley.
Inspection Date
Weather Conditions
Compliance Issues:
October 26, 2000
Partly cloudy, cool
a. Based on an as -built survey done by W.K. Dickson, dated March, 5, 1999, the pond's surface area
is deficient by about 3,000 ft2.
b. The side slopes are not stabilized with permanent vegetation.
C. The side slopes are not constructed at 3:1 in all parts of the pond.
d. Access to the outlet structure for maintenance and inspection is limited due to the overgrown
slopes. `
e. The outlet pipe from the pond is supposed to be right at the ditch4bottom, and the storage
elevation is supposed to be at least 0.3' above the ditch bottom. The notes provided on the as -
built survey from W.K. Dickson indicate that the storage elevation (overflow) is below the ditch
bottom. The current outlet structure may be causing runoff to back up in the system of piping and
ditches in Crosswinds which in turn may be causing a back up into the rear detention ponds,
contributing to the flooding problem at the rear ponds.
Required Actions:
Provide the required amount of surface area.
Provide permanent vegetation for the slopes.
Regrade the slopes to the required 3:1.
Remove the overgrown vegetation and provide access to the outlet structure.
Investigate the functioning of the outlet structure during a 1 " or more rain event to ensure that the
required water levels are maintained and drawdown is occurring as permitted.

RE: Drainage Complaint
Dear Mr. Baker:
MAR 2.7 ,1998
I am writing in response to. the meeting with Mr. Bill Caster, Chairman of the Board of
Commissioners, to discuss flooding and drainage concerns in the Crosswind Subdivision.
I investigated the detention pond at Wedgefield, which handles some of the runoff from
your subdivision and I found the following:
There is a possibility the pump which is located adjacent to the detention pond is not
working or it may be clogged.
Due to erosion which is occurring along the banks of the detention pond and from other
areas, it is very likely that the efficiency of the pond has decreased.
While the County recognizes the need for drainage, at this time we do not have a drainage
program in place for maintenance or construction for drainage; however, the responsibility to
maintain the drainage system is each property owner's duty or homeowner's association.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact this office.
Sincerely,
Adam Rahhal'
