Permit No. SW8 000226
Dear Christine:
In response to your inspection of the stormwater facilities at the above site on November 16, 1
would like to inform you of our plan of action to address the concerns enumerated in your letter
to Scott Sullivan on November 24, as follows:
❑ We intend to as-built all impervious surfaces on the site as identified in your letter and verify
drainage areas and impervious areas draining to the wet pond for non-compliance.
❑ We will completely as-built the pond to verify compliance or non-compliance with the design
parameters such as depths, elevations, and oriface blockage as noted.
❑ If warranted, we will revise the permit and pond design and upgrade any construction features
necessary to match the existing field conditions.
David Brown with my office will be contacting you to obtain calculations and other permit
documents that we may need to conduct this review and if necessary re-permitting. We should be
able to have submittals and permit compliance documents to you in January of the New Year.
Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum
Permit No. Sill 000226
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
On November 16, 2009, Christine Nelson of the Wilmington Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) inspected the Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum in
New Hanover County to determine compliance with Stormwater Management Permit
Number SW8 000226 issued on March 17, 2000 and renewed on September 21, 2009.
DWQ file review and site inspection revealed that the site is not compliant with the
terms and conditions of this permit. Please find a copy of the completed form entitled
"Compliance Inspection Report" attached to this letter, which summarizes the findings of
the recent inspection.
As indicated in the attached inspection report, the following deficiencies must be
resolved:
1. Additional drainage area: A portion of the newly constructed Museum Drive
appears to drain toward the collection system for the pond, which increases the
drainage area of the pond.
2. Additional built-upon area (BUA) not identified on the approved plans: A portion
of the roadway and multi-use trail associated with the newly constructed Museum
Drive appears to be contributing runoff to the curb inlets connected to the pond
stormwater collection system. An additional parking space appears to have been
added to the delivery area. An unpermitted sidewalk, which appears to drain to
the stormwater collection system for the pond, was added to the eastern side of
the permitted access road. A gravel walkway, which is considered to be BUA,
was added around the pond. Unless it is demonstrated that the wood structure
with recycled gloves is pervious, this structure must be considered as BUA. It
appears that the future BUA (6,400 sq ft) was constructed without an approved
modification to the stormwater permit.
3. BUA not constructed (for purposes of determining if BUA has exceeded the
permitted allocation): two rows of gravel parking in the main parking area.
4. The forebay berm could not be located. The water elevation in the pond was
high, preventing many of the pond features from being inspected.
5. The water elevation in the pond was high and the pond did not appear to be
draining indicating that the orifice may be clogged.

Inspection Date: 1111612009 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The following deficiencies were noted during the inspection:
1. Additional drainage area: A portion of the newly constructed Museum Drive appears to drain toward the collection
system for the pond, which increases the drainage area of the pond.
2. Additional BUA not identified on the approved plans: A portion of the roadway and multi-use trail associated with the
newly constructed Museum Drive appears to be contributing runoff to the curb inlets connected to the pond stormwater
collection system. An additional parking space appears to have been added to the delivery area. An unpermitted
sidewalk, which appears to drain to the stormwater collection system for the pond, was added to the eastern side of the
permitted access road. A gravel walkway, which is considered to be BUA, was added around the pond. Unless it is
demonstrated that the wood structure with recycled gloves is pervious, this structure must be considered as BUA. It
appears that the future BUA (6,400 sq ft)was constructed without an approved modification to the stormwater permit.
3. BUA not constructed (for purposes of determining if BUA has exceeded the permitted allocation): two gravel parking
area in the main parking area
4. The forebay berm could not be located. The water elevation in the pond was high, preventing many of the pond
features from being inspected.
5. The water elevation in the pond was high and the pond did not appear to be draining indicating that the orifice may be
clogged.
To bring this system into compliance, the following must be completed:
1: Demonstrate that the drainage area and BUA associated with the pond have not increased from the originally approved
permit. If either the drainage area or BUA has increased, the permit must be modified and the BMP design will need to be
re-evaluated. Please note that the sidewalk to the east of the access road has been permitted to removed and replaced
under the 17th Street Museum Multi Use Path Permit (SW8 080904). Under this permit, it appears that the proposed
multi-use path will drain away from the pond collection system. However, until the BUA associated with the existing,
unpermitted sidewalk is removed, it still needs to be included as BUA within the drainage area.
2. Ensure the forebay berm is present and built according to the plans.
3. Clean the outlet device to allow the water elevation to return to the permitted level. Ensure that the relative pond
elevations are consistent with the permit and approved plans.

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 000226
New Hanover County
Dear Director:
On September 27, 2005, Wilmington Regional Office personnel performed a Compliance Inspection of
the subject project, located at 3201 South 17" Street in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North
Carolina. The inspection was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit
Number SW8 000226, issued to you on March 17, 2003.
The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 000226 , issued pursuant to
the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are:
1. Section 11.3- The permittee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance
necessary to assure the permitted system functions at optimum efficiency. The outlet
structure had a lot of debris stuck in the grated sides, and the orifice appeared to be
clogged. The pond itself appears to have accumulated some sediment. The forebay
berm was not visible. It is supposed to be higher on the side closest to the outlet to
prevent short-circuiting. It's been 2 weeks since the hurricane, and we've had
approximately '/2 " of rain in the past 7 days, but the pond level was still at the 1" design
overflow elevation.
2. Section 11.7-Upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be
received from an appropriate designer for the type of system installed, certifying that the
permitted system has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans
and specifications, and other supporting documentation. The required Designer's
Certification has not been submitted.
3. Section 11.15- The Director may notify the permittee when the permitted site does not
meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within the time frame specified in the
notice, the permittee shall submit a written time schedule to the Director for modifying the site to meet

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Louise Wells Cameron Art Museum
Stormwater Permit No. SW8 000226
New Hanover County
Dear Ms. Laymon:
On September 27, 2005, Wilmington Regional Office personnel performed a Compliance
Inspection of the subject project, located at 3201 South 17th Street in Wilmington, New
Hanover County, North Carolina. The inspection was performed to determine the status of
compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8 000226, issued to you on March 17, 2003.
The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 000226 , issued
pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are:
1. Section I1.3- The permittee shall at all times provide the operation and
maintenance necessary to assure the permitted system functions at optimum
efficiency. The outlet structure had a lot of debris stuck in the grated sides, and
the orifice appeared to be clogged. The pond itself appears to have accumulated
some sediment. The forebay berm was not visible. It is supposed to be higher on
the side closest to the outlet to prevent short-circuiting. It's been 2 weeks since
the hurricane, and we've had approximately ''/Y " of rain in the past 7 days, but the .
pond level was still at the 1" design overflow elevation.
2. Section 11.7-Upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy, and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be
received from an appropriate designer for the type of system installed, certifying
that the permitted system has been installed in accordance with this permit, the
approved plans and specifications, and other supporting documentation. The
required Designer's Certification has not been submitted.
3. Section 11.15- The Director may notify the permittee when the permitted site does
not meet one or more of the minimum requirements of the permit. Within the time
frame specified in the notice, the permittee shall submit a written time schedule
to the Director for modifying the site to meet minimum requirements. On August
5, 2003, the Division sent a letter to you at the address listed on the permit, 114
Orange Street in Wilmington. The letter requested that you submit the required
Designer's Certification. No response to that letter was ever received. You are
required to notify the Division of any changes in your mailing address.

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 before October 28, 2005.
2. Clean off the outside grates on the outlet structure, remove the debris
accumulated in the pond, and unclog the orifice.)
3. Submit the required Designer's Certification.
4. Verify your correct mailing address and phone number.
Staff spoke to Mr. Johnny McCoy regarding the use of fountains in wet detention ponds.
At the time this permit was issued, there was no guidance for allowing fountains.
However, since that time, guidance has been developed. The maximum allowable
horsepower of the pump that operates the fountain is based on the permanent pool
volume in the pond. This pond was permitted with a permanent pool volume of 38,900
cubic feet. According to the guidance, the pump that operates the fountain is limited to a
maximum of 1/8 horsepower. In addition, several other requirements apply, as indicated
on the enclosed sheet. I noticed several colorful decorative floating objects in the pond
during my inspection. If these are fountains, please do not operate more than 1 fountain
at a time in the pond, and make sure the fountain complies with the guidance in regard
to the pump size, its physical location in the pond, and the location of any tubing for
drawing the water up into the fountain.
Failure to provide the "Plan of Action" by October 28, 2005, or to correct the violations
by the date designated in the "Plan of Action", are considered violations of 15A NCAC
2H.1000, and may result in the initiation of enforcement action which may include
recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.
By copy of this letter to the New Hanover County Building Inspector, this Office is
requesting that the Building Inspector consider withholding building permits and
Certificates of Occupancy for this project until this matter is satisfactorily resolved.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Linda Lewis at (910) 796-
7404.

Fountains in Pond Guidance
On September 23, 2003, the Division of Water Quality received quantifying
information regarding the use of fountains in ponds. In general, the models
indicated that certain benefits can be derived from the correct size and
placement of a fountain, namely, increased dissolved oxygen levels, increased
flocculation of certain pollutants, denitrification, and the discouragement of
mosquito breeding.
The use of fountains is allowed under the following criteria:
a. The fountain must draw its water from less than 2' below the permanent
pool surface.
b. Separated units, where the nozzle, pump and intake are connected by
tubing, may be used only if they draw water from the surface in the
deepest part of the pond.
c. The falling water from the fountain must be centered in the pond, away
from the shoreline.
d. The maximum horsepower for the fountain's pump is based on the
permanent pool volume. (See the chart below). As an example, if the
pond's volume is 350,000 cubic feet, the maximum pump horsepower for
the fountain is 1. For ponds with less than 30,000 cubic feet, use 1/8
HP.
