Subject: Executive Park Pond, Woodbridge & Parkstone @Landfall
Stormwater Project No. SW8 950843 and SW8 950701
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Miller:
The Division is in receipt of your letter in which you report: 1) that your property on Beech
Street is being flooded, and that this flooding is allegedly caused by runoff from the
Woodbridge development in Landfall, adjacent the Summer Rest Nature Trail; and 2) that
Woodbridge is utilizing an illegal culvert located under Summer Rest Nature Trail to direct
drainage onto your property. You request that the Division provide you with immediate relief
from the flooding and remove the "illegal" culvert.
On Friday, August 5, 2005, the Division inspected the Woodbridge development and the
Summer Rest Nature Trail. Some of the runoff from the rear of 4-5 homes and a paved access
drive on the backside of the Woodbridge development was not being directed into the pond. It
appeared that this runoff was collecting in a low spot on the Woodbridge property, spilling over
the property line onto the Summer Rest Nature Trail, and then traversing along the natural
contour into existing drainage features. The Landfall Property Owner's Association (LPOA) is
currently in the process of constructing a berm, catch basin and piping to capture this runoff
and direct it into the pond, as permitted.
The State Stomwater Rules under NCAC 2H.1000, require that the runoff from a 1" storm
event be captured in the pond and drawn down over a period of 2-5 days. The orifice in the
pond is designed to release the accumulated runoff at a controlled rate to promote deposition
of the sediment in the runoff. As a non -regulated side benefit, this controlled release rate from
the pond does not contribute to flooding. It is not possible for the Division to require that a wet
detention pond never release any of the accumulated runoff.
There is no "illegal" culvert under Summer Rest Trail that the Division is aware of, in regard to
the permitted discharge from the Woodbridge detention ponds. The southern -most pond at
Woodbridge discharges via a permitted outlet structure, which drains to a pipe under the
Summer Rest Nature Trail that was constructed when the Trail was built to provide drainage
relief for Landfall. The northern -most pond discharges via a permitted outlet structure into a
long pipe that discharges near the bridge along the Trail that crosses over Mott's Creek. The
pond must be able to drain in order to meet the 2-5 day draw down time.

On that same day I also observed the water level in the detention pond that serves the
Landfall Executive Park, located between Woodbridge and the Hampton Inn, to be at
the top of the outlet structure, with no runoff leaving the pond. I reported this to
Environmental Protectors, the maintenance company for the permittee, and they came
out on Friday, August 12, to remove the accumulated debris from the outlet structure.
A plastic bag had somehow covered up the orifice, preventing the pond from drawing
down. The high water level in the pond prior to the storm also may have caused an
overflow onto the Summer Rest Nature Trail in the area of the washout. Unless the
downstream contours have been altered, this drainage should have gone directly into
the wetlands adjoining Mott's Creek.
While the Division sympathizes with your situation, we have not been granted the
regulatory authority by the General Assembly to require flood control measures. Civil
law allows a property owner the use of an historic drainage outlet, and makes it illegal
for a downstream property owner to place items into the drainage outlet that block the
flow. All of the contour maps provided to the Division for that area indicate that the pre -
development natural drainage was from the Landfall property down to Mott's Creek. The
State has determined that if drainage and flooding issues are to be dealt with, then they
must be addressed at the local government level. Your property is located at or very
near the low end of this drainage basin, and is surrounded by wetlands and Motts
Creek.
The violations at Woodbridge and Landfall Executive Park are being addressed, which
should alleviate a small part of your flooding problem. You may want to consider
lobbying the New Hanover County Commissioners to develop a more comprehensive
stormwater ordinance that addresses flooding and drainage issues. If you have any
other questions, please do not hesitate to contact either Ed Beck or me at (910) 796-
7215

In response to your questions about Summerest Trail. Sorry this took so
long....
New Hanover County owns the trail and is responsible for maintance of the
small pipes under the trail. The trail was built by Landfall and given to
New Hanover County before the Executive Park and Parkstone/Woodbridge were
built. We don't have any information to indicate the small pipes were ever
sized to handle the predevelopment flow. In a rain event the trail is
designed to allow water to flow over the trail. It appears the Executive
Park cut across the trail to install the pond outlet pipes without
knowledge of the County. My construction plans for the Executive Park show
cutting an existing walking trail and repairing it after the pipes were
installed.
The damage to the walking trail is right on top of the pipes under the
trail adjacent to the Executive ponds outlet structure. The Executive Parks
pond must not be draining thru the outlet structure and has overflowed and
eroded the trail. We were hoping you could make the Executive Park repair
the damaged trail.

Subject: Landfall
I was at Landfall on Friday afternoon. While there are some minor
problems with the Woodbridge and Parkstone ponds, I feel quite certain
they are not the cause of any flooding. The level in one of the ponds
was about 1' below the outlet structure, with no indication of any
recent overflows. The level in the other one was at the top, but it was
running, albeit a little slow. It was all junked up with debris that
needs to be removed. Again, no evidence of a recent overflow.
I also looked at the Executive Park pond, located beside the hotel. I
could not get in to see the outlet structure up close because the key to
the padlocked gate was not at the Commonwealth Commercial Properties
office, where it's supposed to be. But, I was able to easily see through
the chainlink fence that the water level in the pond was at the top of
I of 2 8/29/2005 2:38 PM
Re: Landfall
the outlet structure, I walked the Summer Rest Trail and saw the
backside of the pond and was able to see the damage to the Trail. I also
saw where water was leaking through the timber retaining wall running on
the backside of the Executive Park pond, onto the Trail.
I think the Executive Park pond is the source of Mr. Karl Miller's
flooding complaints. However, even if the pond is brought into
compliance, the flooding problem may not be alleviated. That outfall has
been in place since 1995. As you know, the Division does not have rules
to regulate flood control. This is left to the local government to
administer. In the absence of other flooding complaints, I find it most
probable that Mr. Miller's construction may somehow have cut off the
historic drainage outlet for Landfall, and that the overflows from the
Executive Park pond are causing the flooding because the water cannot
get to the existing drainage way as it once did. Mr. Miller's site
appears to have been filled in.
My question is, who is responsible for maintaining the drainage pipes
that go under the Trail? Is the Trail located on County property, or is
it just an easement to the County? What is the County's agreement with
the adjacent propety owners in regards to the drainage pipes that
completely pass under the Trail? One situation in particular is where
the outlet pipe for the southern -most pond in Parkstone ends at the
property line. Runoff then enters a 12" pipe under the Trail, that
appears to be partially clogged. Since the pipe is on the Trail
property, Landfall is probably not maintaining it. Parkstone and the
Executive Park were both permitted in 1995. Did the Trail come before or
after that? If it came after, was the County responsible for making sure
the runoff from Landfall was accounted for in sizing and locating the
pipes under the Trail?
Any information you can provide will be most helpful
Thanks,
Linda

4. Required Actions: Each deficiency is explained below and what needs to be done
to bring the system back into compliance.
b. The grading of the rear 10' access road is allowing runoff to bypass Pond #2
via a breach in the bermed area. This area needs to be provided with a
means to get the runoff into the pond.
c.; h. i. & j. can only be verified by an as -built survey, which should be done in
order to provide the information for the consultant to determine if the
systems have been constructed in substantial compliance with the permit.
f.&g. The near slope of Pond #2 was steeper than 3:1, eroding, sloughing, and
in need of permanent stabilization, all the way from the northern rear
access road to the southern rear access road. The rear slopes on both
ponds are currently steeper than 3:1 in some areas, and are made up of
woody natural plantings, however, it is understood that should these
slopes exhibit any erosion, they will need to be regraded to 3:1 and
vegetated with grass.
I. The required Designer's Certification for the ponds has not been submitted.
m. A copy of the recorded deed restrictions for this project has not been
submitted.
After our meeting, I walked the Summer Rest Trail and found where the outlet structure
for Pond #2 leaves the property. It drains into a pipe under the Summer Rest Nature
Trail, but this pipe appears to be slightly clogged. Some water was running out the other
end, but based on the high water.level in Pond #2 after 5 days without rain, the pipe
may be somewhat clogged. I will contact New Hanover County to see who is
responsible for maintaining the drainage pipes under the Trail.
Additionally, as I was walking the Trail, I may have found the outlet pipe for Pond #1.
The approved plans show it angling off the outlet structure and going under the Trail,
ending approximately 20' beyond the edge of the Trail. I followed the Trail up to the
bridge where it crosses a stream. Off to the left, there was an 18"-24" concrete pipe
coming from the direction of the pond. You may want the surveyors to identify this pipe
and trace it back to its origin. If this is not the pond outlet pipe, it is most probable that it
is on the other side of the trail, where we did not look. You will want the surveyors to
verify_the_location_of.this pipe as well._—__.

4Required Actions:-(Each-deficiency_is_. explained below and_what_needs_to_be
done to bring the systemac bk into compliance)
a. The grading of the 10' wide access road behind lots 14-16 allows runoff from
the backs of those lots to bypass the detention pond. This runoff may be
entering private property on the other side of the Summer Rest Nature Trail.
Please provide some type of barrier or curbing or regrade this area to provide
a means for this runoff to get into the pond, as required by the permit.
Page 2 of 5
b. The existence of a trash rack and orifice in Pond #1 could not be verified
because the outlet structure could not be located. It was either missing or
submerged. The orifice in the outlet structure for Pond #2 could not be
confirmed. It could not be seen due to the large amount of debris in and
around the structure. Please unclog both outlet structures and orifices to
restore proper function of the wet detention ponds.
c. The front slope of Pond #2 that backs up to Lots 12 and 13 off Hallmark Lane,
has been torn up and an attempt at stabilizing it with riprap and pinestraw was
made. All slopes above the permanent pool elevation (8.9 fmsl for Pond 2)
must be stabilized with permanent vegetation.
d. The front slope of Pond #2 is much steeper than the required 3:1. Please
regrade this slope to 3:1 and stabilize it with permanent vegetation.
e. The designer's certification is required by the permit, and certifies to the State
that the ponds contain the required surface areas, elevations, and orifice
sizes, and that the drainage area and built -upon areas are as allowed by the
permit. Please submit the required certification.
f. In order to function correctly, the design for each pond is based on a
maximum amount of built -upon area that can be handled. The permit requires
that deed restrictions be recorded which limit the built -upon area on a per lot
basis. Please submit a copy of the recorded deed restrictions.
g. Due to the debris -filled condition of the outlet structure for Pond #2, it does
not appear that these ponds are being maintained in accordance with the
permit, copy enclosed. The permit outlines the required maintenance items
and their frequency. Since the original developer, Ken Gebert, cannot be
located, maintenance responsibility must be borne by the ones who benefit
from this system, Woodbridge and Parkstone. Unless the Landfall POA takes
over this system, the Division will issue a Notice of Violation to Landfall for the
operation of a stormwater treatment system without a permit.

Re: Woodbridge Subdivision, Landfall -Retention Pond and Drainage Violations
Dear Linda,
I have attempted to reach you via telephone on multiple occasions regarding the retention
pond and storm -water runoff flowing from the Woodbridge Subdivision of Landfall and
across the Summerest trail and onto my property located at 243 Beech Street, behind the:
Summerset Trail.
Woodbridge is not capturing all of their water in the mandated retention pond and has
installed an illegal culvert underneath the Summerest trail and dumping water onto my
property, located at 243 Beech Street.
Additionally, Woodbridge has not installed curbing and drainage to capture the water
runoff, which causes flash flooding across the Summerest Trail and onto my property as
well.
I am requesting immediate relief from the substantial and storm water being dumped onto
my property. I request that the illegal culvert, which Woodbridge is utilizing to dump
storm water and other non -captured runoff onto my property, be immediately removed
and the water contained within the Woodbridge Retention Pond system.
Please contact me to discuss the resolution to this serious problem. If I do not hear from
you within the next 10 business days, my legal counsel will pursue all actions necessary
to protect my property and interest from these violations by Woodbridge and Landfall.
Sincere) ,
Karl W. Miller

Comparison of Approved plans vs. As -Built:
Maintenance Problems:
See comments below
a. Complaints were received from 2 adjacent property owners, one concerning the
"continuous" outflow from Pond 2 across his property, and the other concerning some
flooding on his property that he links to uncontrolled runoff from the Pond 1 disturbed area.
b. The orifice for Pond 2 is not in place. The pond must have the storage volume available
above the permanent pool, and the pond must draw down within 5 days. By Monday, the
pond should cease discharging and be down to the permanent pool elevation of 8.9. Unless
additional Lain falls over the weekend, I will check the pond again on Monday.
C. The 24" pipe into the pond from the street is closed off, therefore, runoff from the disturbed
areas of Pond 2 is bypassing the pond and sediment laden runoff is entering the; stream and
leaving the site at the point where the outlet structure piping is located. By copy of this
letter to Beth Easley, I am requesting that the County inspect the site for possible erosion
control problems.
d. The approved plans have not been followed in the construction of the inlet piping to Pond
2. Both the inlet piping from the pond near Oddyssey Drive and the 24" pipe from the street
were supposed to be redirected away from the outlet so that short-circuiting would not
occur. This has not been done -the inlet enters the pond directly across from it.
PE Certification Received? NO Recorded Deed Restrictions Received? NO
Ms. Gray
Stormwater Permit No. 950701
October 10, 1996
6. Comments:
a. To alleviate the nuisance condition created by the increased runoff from the site, please
consider rerouting Pond 2's discharge structure outlet piping toward the same discharge
point as the Executive Park pond next door and totally bypassing the neighbor's ,yard. The
invert of the outlet pipe is 5.0, which means that there is plenty of fall. In the case of the
other neighbor, simply constructing Pond 1 will probably alleviate the problem there, and
based on the stage of constriction, the digging of Pond 1 won't be long.
b. Put in the 1.5" orifice for Pond 2.
C. Open up the 24" pipe into the pond, (rerouted according to the approved plans) and provide
inlet protection at the last catch basin, silt fence and possibly a berm at the bottom of the
disturbed slope to direct runoff into the pond that doesn't get into the catch basin.
d. Redirect the inlet piping according to the approved plans.
