The Stormwater Permitting Unit received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for
the Fort Bragg SOF Operations Addition on January 27, 2011. Staff review of the plans and

Permit No. SW61 10105, dated March 7, 2011, for the construction, operation and maintenance of the
subject project and the stormwater BMPs.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 6, 2021, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the Operation and
Maintenance requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for inspection and
maintenance of the stormwater management system will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right

permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the

Sincerely,
