POST -CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT
HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Sloop Point Marina Owners Association, Inc.
Lewis Road Dry Stack
579 Lewis Road, Hampstead, Pender County
FOR THE
construction, operation and maintenance of four (4) areas of permeable pavement ("stormwater
control measures" or "SCMs") discharging to Class SA-HQW waters in compliance with the provisions
of Title 15A NCAC 2H .1000 effective January 1, 2017 (the "stormwater rules") and as outlined in the
application, approved stormwater management plans, supplement, calculations, operation and
maintenance agreement, recorded documents, specifications, and other supporting data (the
"approved plans and specifications") as attached and/or on file with and approved by the Division of
Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (the "Division" or "DEMLR"). The project shall be constructed,
operated and maintained in accordance with these approved plans and specifications. The approved
plans and specifications are incorporated by reference and are enforceable part of this permit
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 25, 2025 and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations. The permit issued shall continue in force and effect
until the permittee files a request with the Division for a permit modification, transfer, renewal, or
rescission; however, these actions do not stay any condition. The issuance of this permit does not
prohibit the Director from reopening and modifying the permit, revoking and reissuing the permit, or
terminating the permit for cause as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations contained in Title 15A
NCAC 2H.1000 and NCGS 143-215.1 et.al.
I. DESIGN STANDARDS
This permit is effective only with respect to the management and volume of stormwater
described in the approved plans and specifications. The maximum amount of built -upon area
(BUA) allowed for the entire project is 21,840 square feet, comprised of proposed asphalt and
sidewalk that is "adjacent" the permeable pavement areas. A total of 8,610 square feet of
impervious area currently exists on site. After development, there will be 3,810 sf of existing
BUA remaining on site. Of that 3,810 sf, 810 sf of roof area from the existing Ship's Store will be
directed to SCM502 via a piped roof drain. The remaining 3,000 sf of existing BUA is comprised
of the remaining Ship Store roof and surrounding gravel area that will not be treated.
2. The drainage areas for the on -site stormwater systems will be limited to the amounts of BUA
indicated in this permit and the approved plans and specifications. The runoff from all BUA
within the permitted drainage areas of this project must be directed into the permitted SCMs.
The stormwater control measures labeled SCM500, SCM501, SCM502 and SCM503 have been
designed using the runoff volume match method. The pre -development runoff fate of the total
rainfall volume of 31,083 cubic feet (cf) is 28,255 cf, via natural infiltration & evapotranspiration
(ET), which leaves 2,828 cf untreated. The post -development runoff fate for the permeable
pavement areas is a total of 15,785 cf; and the runoff fate for natural infiltration & ET is a total of
14,631 cubic feet, leaving 667 cubic feet untreated, which is less than the 2,828 cf of untreated
pre -developed volume.

Permit No. SW8 170721
3. Where a project or lot is located within CAMA's Area of Environmental Concern (AEC), the
Division of Coastal Management (DCM) may calculate a different maximum built -upon area
based on CAMA regulations. The more restrictive BUA limit of DCM or DEMLR will apply to the
project.
A 50-foot-wide vegetative setback must be provided and maintained adjacent to all surface
waters, measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded structures, from the
top of bank of each side of streams or rivers, and from the mean high waterline of tidal waters,
perpendicular to the shoreline in accordance with the stormwater rules and the approved plans
and specifications. The setback currently contains 3,810 sf of water -dependent existing BUA.
5. The four (4) permeable pavement stormwater control measures SCM500, SCM501, SCM502
and SCM503 are permitted based on the MDC listed in NCAC 02H.1050 and NCAC 02H.1055,
and as presented in the sealed, signed and dated Storm-EZ application, the calculation
documents, and as shown on the approved plans and specifications.
6. The permitted stormwater control measures must be provided and maintained at the design
condition with the following limitations:

This project has achieved runoff volume match. Any excess runoff volume within the four (4)
permeable pavement areas that is not infiltrated within 72 hours,
must be released at a non -
erosive velocity at the edge of the vegetated setback.
8. This project does not propose any new stormwater outlet discharge points and therefore will not
have the opportunity to cause erosion during the 10-year storm event. Runoff from a portion of
the existing roof of the Ship's Store and the existing gravel parking will continue to discharge as
it was before.
The stone base material used under the permeable pavement areas shall be a washed
aggregate.
10. The soil subgrade slope under the permeable pavement shall be less than or equal to 2%.
11. SCM502 captures the runoff from 810 square feet of existing rooftop (<1000 so that is piped and
discharged directly into the aggregate base of the SCM502 permeable pavement and does not
require screening.
12. The amount of adjacent BUA treated in any one of the permeable pavement area may not
exceed a 1:1 ratio of adjacent BUA to permeable pavement area.
13. The project proposes a 278' x 42' area of #57 stone, laid 4 inches thick over a geotextile fabric,
located under the open dry stack rack and is not counted as BUA.
14. This project proposes a boat wash area. None of the wash water runoff shall enter the
permeable pavement.
15, Each permeable pavement area shall have at least one capped observation well placed at the
lowest point in the system.

Section 8: EFFECT OF NONPAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS. REMEDIES OF THE

ak 4764
Pg 402
otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for herein by non-use or abandonment of
his Membership.
Section 9. CREATION OF LIEN AND/OR SECURITY INTEREST. Recognizing
that proper management of the Facility requires the continuing payment of costs and expenses
therefor by the Class A Members, that proper operation and maintenance of the Facility results in
benefits to all of the Members, and that the payment of the common expenses represented by the
assessments levied and collected by the Board is necessary in order to preserve and protect the
property of the Members, the Corporation is hereby granted a lien and security interest, in each
instance, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, upon each Class A Membership, which
lien and security interest shalt secure and does secure the monies due for all assessments now or
hereafter levied against the owner of such Membership which lien and security interest shall also
secure interest, if any, which may be due on the amount of any delinquent assessments owing to
the Corporation, and which lien and security interest shall also secure all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) which may be incurred by the
Corporation in securing the payment of such assessment or enforcing this lien and security interest
upon the Membership. The lien and security interest granted to the Corporation may be foreclosed
in any manner permitted by applicable law, and in any suit for the foreclosure of that lien or
security interest, the Corporation shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for that
Membership. The lien and security interest granted to the Corporation shall further secure such
advances for taxes and payments on account of superior liens, security interests, or encumbrances
which may be required to be advanced by the Corporation in order to preserve and protect its lien
and security interest, and the Corporation shall further be entitled to interest at the rate prescribed
above on any such advances made for such purpose. All persons, firms, or corporations who shall
acquire, by whatever means, any interest in the ownership of any Membership, or who may be
given or acquire a security interest, lien, or other encumbrance thereon, are hereby placed on notice
of the lien and security interest rights granted to the Corporation, and shall acquire such interest in
any Membership expressly subject to such lien and security interest rights.
Section 10: LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST NOT EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.
Whenever any Membership may be licensed, sold, assigned or pledged by the owner thereof, the
Corporation, upon written request of the transferring Member, shall furnish to the proposed
licensee, purchaser or pledgee, a statement verifying the status of payment of any assessment
which shall be due and payable to the Corporation in connection with such Membership. Such
statement shall be signed by any officer of the Corporation, and any licensee, purchaser, or pledgee
may rely upon such statement in concluding the proposed license, purchase, or pledge/security
interest transaction. In any voluntary conveyance of a Membership, the purchaser thereof shall be
jointly and severally liable with the seller or transferor for all unpaid obligations against such seller
or transferor made prior to the time of such voluntary conveyance, without prejudice to the rights
of the purchaser to recover from seller or transferor the amounts paid by purchaser therefor.
Institution of a suit at law to attempt to effect collection of the payment of any delinquent
assessment, attorney's fees, interest and costs shall not be deemed to be an election by the
Corporation which prevents the Corporation from thereafter seeking, by foreclosure or similar
action, enforcement of the collection of any sums remaining owing to it, nor shall any proceeding
by foreclosure or similar to attempt such collection be deemed to be an election precluding the
institution of a suit at law to collect any sums then remaining owing to the Corporation.

assessments or special Assessments on any Memberships it owns during any period for which the
Charter Member elects to fund the shortfall, if any, under the Corporation's general operating
budget, such shortfall to be calculated as the amount by which the sum of general operating
expenses incurred by the Corporation plus budgeted contributions to reserves exceeds the general
assessments and special assessments receivable from other Owners plus other income of the
Corporation, exclusive of cash advances by the Charter Member ("Excess Operating Expenses").
To the extent that the Excess Operating Expenses funded by the Charter Member pursuant to this
Section exceed the assessments that would otherwise be payable by the Charter Member on
Memberships which it owns, the Charter Member may treat such excess as a loan to be repaid by
the Corporation out of any cash surplus in the current or future fiscal years or as an advance against
future assessments levied on Memberships owned by the Charter Member during any period for
which the Charter Member elects to pay assessments in lieu of funding shortfalls. The Charter
Member shall be deemed to have elected to fund shortfalls unless and until it otherwise advises
the Corporation in writing and may change such election, to be effective prospectively or
retroactively, at any time. Regardless of the Charter Member's election under this subsection, any
of the Charter Member's financial obligations to the Corporation may be satisfied in the form of
cash, by "in kind" contributions of services or materials, or by a combination of these.

Membership held by the Charter Member.

Specified in the notice. Should the Board fail or refuse within thirty (30) days after the receipt of

than a Charter Membership) by any person or entity other than the Member, and all Memberships
(other than the Charter Memberships) shall be subject and subordinate to such procedures. In no
event, however, shall the limitations be deemed to limit or preclude the right of the Charter

end -user, without the requirement of prior consent, whether such right arises under a
Charter Membership or Class A Membership held by such Charter Member.,

INSURANCE
Section 1: The Board, on behalf of the Corporation shall at all times (i) keep the
Facility insured against loss or damage by fire or other hazards normally insured against and other
such risks as the Board determines necessary or appropriate and (ii) maintain such public liability
insurance relative to the Facility (including, without limitation, the Boat Bays and Common Areas)

to protect the interests of the Corporation as determined in the business judgment of the Board,
including the judgment that any part of the Facility should not be covered due to the cost of
insurance. The Corporation shall have the sole authority to deal with the insurer in the settlement
of claims, and each Member shall be deemed to have appointed the Corporation as his agent with
respect to any such claims. All premiums, deductibles and other costs of the insurance described
in this Section 1 shall he deemed common expenses of the Corporation.

to the right of each Member to insure his own personal property stored at the Facility for his own

use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate claims under its hazard insurance. The
proceeds of such insurance, if any, shall be applied and utilized towards the reconstruction of said
Facility to substantially the condition existing immediately prior to the casualty (or, in the event
that such configuration is no longer legally permissible or practically feasible, then to such other
lawful, practicable condition as shall provide substantially equivalent value to the Corporation and
