Malpass Engineering, P.C. Re: Request for Additional Information Stormwater Project No. SW8 060404 The Cottages at Brick Landing Plantation After our phone conversation this afternoon I checked on the number of lots and the impervious area being allocated for the lots. We had left 3 lots out of the calculations. We have corrected the calculations to allocate 4,000 s.f. for each lot and 66 lots are proposed on the plan. Page 2 of 4 of the stormwater application and page 1 of 3 of the basin supplement have been adjusted. The only revision to the plan is the lot numbers were adjusted. 2 sets of the revised plan, 2 sets of the revised calculations, the original & a copy of the stormwater application, and the original of the basin supplement are provided.

Purpose To temporarily stabilize denuded areas that will not be brought to final grade for a period of more than 30 working days. Temporary seeding controls runoff and erosion until permanent vegetation or other erosion control measures can be established. In addition, it provides residue for soil protection and seedbed preparation and reduces problems of mud and dust production from bare soil surfaces during construction. Conditions Where On any cleared, unvegetated,or sparsely vegetated soil surface where vegeta- Practiee Applies live cover is needed for less than I year. Applications of this practice include diversions,dams, temporary sediment basins, temporary road banks,and top- soil stockpiles. Planning_ Annual nlants.which snout and emw ranidly and survive fur nnly one.geasnn Considerations are suitable for establishing initial or temporary vegetative cover. Temporary seeding preserves the integrity of earthen sediment control structures such as dikes,diversions,and the banks of dams and sediment basins.It can also reduce the amount of maintenance associated with these devices.For example,the fre- quency of sediment basin cleanouts will be reduced if watershed areas,outside the active construction zone,are stabilized. Proper seedbed preparation,selection of appropriate species,and use of quality seed are as important in this practice as in Practice 6.11, Permanent Seeding. Failure to follow established guidelines and recommendations carefully may result in an inadequate or short-lived stand of vegetation that will not control erosion. Temporary seeding provides protection for no more than I year,during which time permanent stabilization should be initiated. Specifications Complete grading before preparing seedbeds and install all necessary erosion control practices,such as dikes,waterways and basins. Minimize steep slopes because they make seedbed preparation difficult and increase the erosion hazard.If soils become compacted during grading,loosen them to a depth of 6- 8 inches using a ripper,harrow,or chisel plow. SEEDBED PREPARATION Good seedbed preparation is essential to successful plant establishment.A good seedbed is well-pulverized, loose,and uniform.Where hydroseeding methods are used,the surface may be left with a more irregular surface of large clods and stones. Liming—Apply lime according to soil test recommendations.If the pH(acidity) of the soil is not known,an application of ground agricultural limestone at the RECEIVED:N FEB Z 7 0707 6.10.1 BY: rate of 1 to 1 112 tons/acre on coarse-textured soils and 2-3 tons/acre on fine- textured soils is usually sufficient.Apply limestone uniformly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil.Soils with a pH of 6 or higher need not be limed. Fertilizer—Base application rates on soil tests. When these are not possible, apply a 10-10-10 grade fertilizer at 700-1,000 lb/acre. Both fertilizer and lime should be incorporated into the top 4-6 inches of soil. If a hydraulic seeder is used,do not mix seed and fertilizer more than 30 minutes before application. Surface roughening—If recent tillage operations have resulted in a loose sur- face,additional roughening may not be required except to break up large clods. If rainfall causes the surface to become sealed or crusted,loosen it just prior to seeding by disking,raking,harrowing,or other suitable methods.Groove or fur- row slopes steeper than 3:1 on the contour before seeding(Practice 6.03,Sur- face Roughening). PLANT SELECTION Select an appropriate species or species mixture from Table 6.10a,for seeding in late winter and early spring,Table 6.10b for summer,and Table 6.10c for fall. In the Mountains, December and January seedings have poor chances of suc- cess.When it is necessary to plant at these times,use recommendations for fall and a securely tacked mulch. SEEDING Evenly apply seed using a cyclone seeder(broadcast),drill,cultipacker seeder, or .hydroseeder.Use seeding rates given in Tables 6.10a-6.10c.Broadcast seed- ing and hydrosecding are appropriate for steep slopes where equipment cannot be driven.Hand broadcasting is not recommended because of the difficulty in. achieving a uniform distribution. Small grains should be planted no more than 1 inch deep, and grasses and legumes no more than 1/2 inch. Broadcast seed must be covered by raking or chain dragging,and then lightly firmed with a roller or .cultipacker.Hydroseeded mixtures should include a wood fiber(cellulose)mulch. MULCHING The use of an appropriate mulch will help ensure establishment under normal conditions and is essential to seeding success under harsh site conditions(Prac- tice 6.14, Mulching).Harsh site conditions include: • seeding in fall for winter cover(wood fiber mulches are not considered adequate for this use), • slopes steeper than 3:1, • excessively hot or dry weather, • adverse soils(shallow,rocky,or high in clay or sand),and • areas receiving concentrated flow. If the area to be mulched is subject to concentrated waterflow,as in channels, anchor mulch with.netting(Practice 6.14,Mulching).

Purpose To reduce erosion and decrease sediment yield from disturbed areas,and to per- manently stabilize such areas in a manner that is economical,adapts to site con- ditions,and allows selection of the most appropriate plant materials. Conditions Where Fine-graded areas on which permanent,long-lived vegetative cover is the most Practice Applies practical or most effective method of stabilizing the soil. Permanent seeding may also be used on rough-graded areas that will not be brought to final grade for a year or more. Areas to be stabilized with permanent vegetation must be seeded or planted within 30 working days or 120 calendar days after final grade is reached,unless temporary stabilization is applied. Planning Vegetation controls erosion by protecting bare soil surfaces from raindrop im- Considerations pact and by reducing the velocity and volume of overland flow. The most common and economical means of stabilizing disturbed soils is by seeding grasses and legumes.The advantages of seeding over other means of establishing plants include the smaller initial cost,lower labor input,and greater flexibility of method.The disadvantages of seeding include: • potential for erosion during the establishment stage, • the need to reseed areas that fail to establish, • seasonal limitations on suitable seeding dates,and • a need for water and appropriate temperatures during germination and early growth. The probability of successful plant establishment can be maximized through good planning,knowledge of the soil characteristics(Table 6.1 la),selection of suitable plant materials for the site,good seedbed preparation,adequate liming and fertilization,and timely planting and maintenance. SELECTING PLANT MATERIALS Climate,soils,and topography are the major factors affecting the suitability of plants for a particular site. All three of these factors vary widely across North Carolina,with the most significant contrasts occurring among the three major physiographic regions of the state=Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain (Figure 6.1 la). To simplify plant selection,a Key to Permanent Seeding Mixtures is presented in Table 6.1 lb.To find seeding specifications for a specific site,follow this key through the different steps—region,slope,soil,and maintenance level—to the appropriate seeding number.Seeding mixtures recommended here are designed for general use and are well proven in practical field situations(Tables 6.11c RECEIVED JAN 3 0 Z007 6.11.1 BY: Table 6.11 a Suitability of Soil for Establishment of Low-maintenance Vegetation Criteria Suitability Limiting Factors Good Fair Poor pH 5.6-7.8 4.5-5.5 <4.5 Too acid; possible Al, Mn, Fe toxicity Available >.10 .05-.10 <.05 Too dry water capacity Texture2 I,sil,si scl,sic] so, sic Too high in clay sl cl c Is s Too high in sand Coarse (3-10 in) <15% 15-35 >35 Lg.stones restrict fragments3 (>10 in) <3% 3-10 >10 tillage;droughty Depth to 40 20-40 <20 Insufficient bedrock(in.) rooting depth Salinity(mmhos/cm) 8-16 >16 Excess salt t inAn. 2Sandy clay loam (scl),silty clay loam (sicl),clay loam lot),sandy loam (sl),silt loam(sil), loamy sand (Is),sandy clay(so), silty clay (sic), clay(c), silt (si),sand (s), and loam (1). 3Percent by weight.

RECEIVED JAN 3 0 2007 6.11.2 BY:_----- Practice Standards and Specifications through 6.1 lv).They are designed to produce maximum stabilization and min- imize the amount of maintenance and repair required. Land use is a primary consideration in planning permanent seedings.For this purpose land use,whether residential, industrial,commercial,or recreational, can be divided into two general categories: High-maintenance areas are mowed frequently, limed and fertilized regularly,and either(1)receive intense use(e.g.,athletic fields)or(2)re- quire maintenance to an aesthetic standard (e.g., home lawns). Grasses used for these situations are long-lived perennials that form a tight sod and are fine-leaved and attractive in appearance. They must be well- adapted to the geographic area where they are planted and able to endure the stress of frequent mowing. Sites where high-maintenance vegetative cover is desirable include homes,industrial parks,schools,churches,and recreational areas. Low-maintenance areas are mowed infrequently or not at all,and do not receive lime and fertilizer on a regular basis.Plants must persist with lit- tle maintenance over long periods of time.Grass and legume mixtures are favored for these sites because legumes are a source of soil nitrogen. Mixed stands are also more resistant to adverse conditions.Sites suitable for low-maintenance vegetation include steep slopes, stream or channel banks,some commercial properties,and "utility"turf areas such as road- banks. SEEDBED PREPARATION The soil on a disturbed site must be amended to provide an optimum environ- ment for seed germination and seedling growth.The surface soil mustbe loose enough for water infiltration and root penetration.The pH(acidity or alkalinity) of the soil must be such that it is not toxic and nutrients are available--prefera- bly between 6.0 and 6.5. Sufficient nutrients—added as fertilizer—must be present. It is as important to add lime as to add fertilizer.Lime is used primarily as a pH, or acidity,modifier,but it also supplies calcium and magnesium,which are im- portant plant nutrients.By increasing soil pH it also makes other nutrients more available to plants.At the same time,it prevents aluminum toxicity by decreas- ing the solubility of soil aluminum. Many soils in North Carolina are high in aluminum,which stunts plant growth. After seed is in place, it must be protected with a mulch to hold moisture and modify temperature extremes,while preventing erosion during seedling estab- lishment. STEEPSLOPES The operation of equipment is restricted on slopes steeper than 3:1, severely limiting the quality of the seedbed that can be prepared.The soil cannot be suf- ficiently worked,and amendments cannot be.thoroughly incorporated. Provisions for establishment of vegetation on steep slopes can be made during final grading.In construction of fill slopes,for example,the last4-6 inches might be left uncompacted.A loose,rough seedbed is essential.Large clods and stones RECEIVED JAN 3 0 2007 6.11.3 BY:-------- provide irregularities that hold seeds and fertilizer.Cut slopes should be rough- ened(Practice 6.03,Surface Roughening). Where steepness prohibits the use of farm machinery, seeding methods are. limited to broadcast or hydroseeding, with hydroseeding giving the most de- pendable results.Vegetation chosen for these slopes must not require mowing or other intensive maintenance.Using a hydraulic seeder,seed,fertilizer,wood fiber mulch,and a tacking agent can be applied in one operation. Good mulching practices are critical to protect against erosion on steep slopes. When using straw,anchor with netting or asphalt. On slopes steeper than 2:1, jute,excelsior,or synthetic matting may be required to protect the slope. Specifications SEEDBED REQUIREMENTS Establishment of vegetation should not be attempted on sites that are unsuitable due to inappropriate soil texture (Table 6.1la), poor drainage, concentrated overland flow,or steepness of slope until measures have been taken to correct these problems. To maintain a good stand of vegetation,the soil must meet certain minimum re- quirements as a growth medium.The existing soil should have these criteria: • Enough fine-grained(silt and clay)material to maintain adequate mois- ture and nutrient supply (available water capacity of at least .05 inches water to 1 inch of soil). • Sufficient pore space to permit root penetration. • Sufficient depth of soil to provide an adequate root zone. The depth to rock or impermeable layers such as hardpans should be 12 inches or more, except on slopes steeper than 2:1 where the addition of soil is not feasible. • A favorable pH range for plant growth,usually 6.0-6.5. • Freedom from large roots,branches,stones,large clods of earth,or trash of any kind. Clods and stones may be left on slopes steeper than 3:1 if they are to be hydroseeded. If any of the above criteria are not met—i.e.,if the existing soil is too coarse, dense,shallow oracidic to foster vegetation—special amendments are required. The soil conditioners described below may be beneficial or,preferably,topsoil may be applied in accordance with Practice 6.04,Topsoiling. SOIL CONDITIONERS In order to improve the structure or drainage characteristics of a soil, the fol- lowing materials may be added.These amendments should only be necessary where soils have limitations that make them poor for plant growth or for fine turf establishment(see Chapter 3,Vegetative Considerations). Peat—Appropriate types are sphagnum moss peat, hypnum moss peat, reed- sedgepeat,orpeat humus,all from fresh-water sources.Peat should be shredded and conditioned in storage piles for at least 6 months after excavation. Sand—clean and free of toxic materials. RECEIVED JAN 3 0 2007 h.u.a BY: Practice Standards and Specifications Vermiculite—horticultural grade and free of toxic substances. Rotted manure—stable or cattle manure not containing undue amounts of straw or other bedding materials. Thoroughly rotted sawdust—free of stones and debris.Add 6 lb of nitrogen to each cubic yard. Sludge—Treated sewage and industrial sludges are available in various forms; these should be used only in accordance with local,State,and Federal regula- tions. SPECIES SELECTION Use the Key to Permanent Seeding Mixtures(Table 6.1lb) to select the most appropriate seeding mixture based on the general site and maintenance factors. A listing of species. including scientific names and characteristics,is given in Appendix 8.02. SEEDBED PREPARATION Install necessary mechanical erosion and sedimentation control practices before seeding,and complete grading according to the approved plan. Lime and fertilizer needs should he determined by soil tests.Soil testing is per- formed free of charge by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture soil test- ing laboratory.Directions,sample cartons,and information sheets are available through county Agricultural Extension offices or from NCDA. Because the NCDA soil testing lab requires 1-6 weeks for sample turn-around, sampling must be planned well in advance of final grading.Testing is also done by com- mercial laboratories. When soil tests are not available, follow rates suggested on the individual specification sheet for the seeding mix chosen (Tables 6.11c through 6.11v). Application rates usually fall into the following ranges: • Ground agricultural limestone: Light-textured,sandy soils: 1-1 1/2 tons/acre Heavy-textured,clayey soils:2-3 tons/acre • Fertilizer: Grasses: 800-1200lb/acre of 10-10-10(or the equivalent) Grass-legume mixtures: 800-1200 lb/acre of 5-10-10(or the equivalent) Apply lime and fertilizer evenly and incorporate into the top 4-6 inches of soil by disking or other suitable means. Operate machinery on the contour.When using a hydroseeder,apply lime and fertilizer to a rough,loose surface. Roughen surfaces according to Practice 6.03,Surface Roughening. Complete seedbed preparation by breaking up large clods and raking into a smooth,uniform surface(slopes less than 3:1).Fill in or level depressions that can collect water. Broadcast seed into a freshly loosened seedbed that has not been sealed by rainfall. RECEIVED JAN R 0 2007 6.11.5 BY:---- SEEDING Seeding dates given in the seeding mixture specifications(Tables 6.11c through 6.11v) are designated as "best" or "possible". Seedings properly carried out within the"best"dates have a high probability of success.It is also possible to have satisfactory establishment when seeding outside these dates.However,as you deviate from them,the probability of failure increases rapidly. Seeding on the last date shown under"possible"may reduce chances of success by 30-50%. Always take this into account in scheduling land-disturbing activities. Use certified seed for permanent seeding whenever possible.Certified seed is inspected by the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association. It meets published North Carolina Standards and should bear an official"Certified Seed" label(Figure 6.1 lb). Figure 6.11 b Label displayed on all North Carolina certified seed.

Mulch all plantings immediately after seeding(Practice 6.14,Mulching). HYDROSEEDING Surface roughening is particularly important when hydroseeding, as a rough- ened slope will provide some natural coverage for lime,fertilizer,and seed.The surface should not be compacted or smooth. Fine seedbed preparation is not necessary for hydroseeding operations; large clods, stones, and irregularities provide cavities in which seeds can lodge. Rate of wood fiber(cellulose)application should be at least 2,000 lb/acre. Apply legume inoculants at four times the recommended rate when adding in- oculant to a hydroseeder slurry. If a machinery breakdown of 1/2 to 2 hours occurs,add 50%more seed to the tank,based on the proportion of the slurry remaining.This should compensate for damage to seed.Beyond 2 hours,a full rate of new seed may be necessary. Lime is not normally applied with a hydraulic seeder because it is abrasive. It can be blown onto steep slopes in dry form. D gECF�VE JAN � © 2007 6.11.7 gY:�f SPRIGGING Hybrid Bermudagrass cannot be grown from seed and must be planted vegeta- tively.Vegetative methods of establishing common and hybrid Bermudagrass, centipedegrass,and Bahiagrass include sodding,plugging and sprigging(Chap- ter 3, Vegetative Considerations). Sprigs are fragments of horizontal stems which include at least one node Qoint).They are normally sold by the bushel and can either be broadcast or planted in furrows using a tractor-drawn tobac- co or vegetable transplanter. Furrows should be 4-6 inches deep and 2 If apart.Place sprigs about 2 ft apart in the row with one end at or above ground level(Figure 6.1 ld). Figure 6.11d Proper placement of grass Q( sprigs. Each sprig should have at least one Soil Surface c� node(modified from NCAES Bulletin AG-69). t 2n Correct Incorrect Broadcast sprigs at the specified rate(Tables 6.11r and 6.11s).Press into the top 1/2-2 inches of soil with a cultipacker or with a disk set nearly straight so that the sprigs are not brought back to the surface. IRRIGATION Moisture is essential for seed germination and seedling establishment. Sup- plemental irrigation can be very helpful in assuring adequate stands in dry seasons or to speed development of full cover. It is a requirement for fine turf establishment and should be used elsewhere when feasible.However,irrigation is rarely critical for low-maintenance vegetation planted at the appropriate time of the year. Water application rates must be carefully controlled to prevent runoff. Inade- quate or excessive amounts of water can be more harmful than no supplemen- tal water. Maintenance Generally, a stand of vegetation cannot be determined to be fully established until soil cover has been maintained for one full year from planting. Inspect seeded areas for failure and make necessary repairs and reseedings within the same season,if possible. Reseeding—If a stand has inadequate cover,re-evaluate choice of plant mate- rials and quantities of lime and fertilizer. Re-establish the stand after seedbed preparation or over-seed the stand.Consider seeding temporary,annual species if the time of year is not appropriate for permanent seeding(Practice 6.10,Tem- porary Seeding). RECEIVE JAN 10 2007 6.1 l.s BY:--- Practice Standards and Specifications If vegetation fails to grow,soil be must tested to determine if acidity or nutrient imbalance is responsible. Fertilization—On the typical disturbed site,full establishment usually requires refertilization in the second growing season. Fine turf requires annual main- tenance fertilization (Table 6.12b). Use soil tests if possible or follow the guidelines given for the specific seeding mixture(Tables 6.11c through 6.11v).

Your request for extension until 2/16/07 is approved. After the first of this year, extensions are rarely approved in express. Due to the express program requiring projects to move quickly, we have to resolve this soon and issue the permit-or the process requires it to be taken out of express or returned. Normally alternative designs are not allowed in express. I would like to issue this permit this week or next at the latest. The requirement for 5 acre drainage areas to infiltration basins have been in the April 1999 BMP design guidelines. Adherence to the guidelines is required for drainage area sizing due to the high failure rate of infiltration basins attributed basically to the blinding off, erosion, and mounding in the basins. 1 realize the timing of your project makes it difficult with no areas available for smaller basins. I will explore options for your project. Some items that may be allowed as an alternative design are sectioning smaller areas, infiltration rate above 2 inch/hour [you reported 7], inlet distribution flow mechanisms, increased maintenance, pretreatment settling pond to remove sediment prior to infiltration basin [already proposed], monitoring wells around the basin with frequent soil scientist certifications of performance and reports submitted to DWQ, etc.. Add the following requirement to your O&M for the infiltration basin supplement and get it notarized again. [handwritten on the form as an item 6 is fine.] /The water level in any monitoring wells will be recorded after a I inch rainfall event and at least once a month. / The well observations made by a certified soil scientist must be report to DWQ regional office semi-annually kat a minimum. Chronic high water table elevations(within I foot of the bottom of the system for a period of three months) shall be reported to DWQ immediately." This is taken from the trench supplement O& M form with the reporting added since this project will be an alternative design under.1008 (h). This statement will be added to the typical permit language for this permit. Notarize the deed restriction attached with the statement about O&M as item 8. Regarding item 5 in the ad info., if you can propose a level spreader at the outlet of the stormwater pipe that is within the design guidelines in the BMP that provides non-erosive and sheet flow for the 10 year outlet flow rates,then the additional easement may not be needed. BMP attached. Jeff, Can we discuss this on Friday,2/9 at 1:00. Please consider design alternatives to address the large drainage area as well as the stormwater discharge. We can talk over the phone. In the mean time add an engineered inlet distribution channel to the infiltration basin plan with detail, sized for the flow rate, locate it down the middle with fingers to provide non-erosive and sheet flow. A channel type ditch that is maintainable, rock filled, and adequate dimensions for the flow. Add the level spreader to the plans per the BMP. Locate the monitoring wells on the plans and show a detail. Get the O&M and deed restrictions signed and notarized. [attached] 1 am trying to get this project approved as an alternative program with the monitoring and reports. If you cannot talk on Friday afternoon,then suggest an alternative Thursday afternoon or Friday before I 1 a.m. Summarize what we need: 1. engineered distribution channel on the inlet to infiltration basin 2. monitoring wells located around the basin [3. level spreader per BMP 2 of 5 2/12/2007 2:04 PM Re: [Fwd,;[Fwd: SW8 060404 Cottages at Brick Landing]] n 4. level spreader O&M signed and notarized 5. infil O&M with added statement on the supplement 6l deed restriction with added statement V. thank you, Mary Jean Naugle NC DENR Express Permitting-WiRO 910-796-7303 sk wrote: Davy Group Construction 1111 Military Cutoff Rd Suite 151 Wilmington NC 28405 February 5, 2007 To: Mary Jane Naugle CC: Jeff Malpass, Kirk Davy RE: Stormwater Permit# SWB 060404 Mary Jane, It has come to our attention, by way of your letter,that you are requesting additional information for our project"The Cottages at Brick Landing Plantation, Brunswick County". We also understand the Mr. Rob Gordon is no longer with Express Stormwater Permitting. At last we left this permit with Mr. Gordon, and the Express Permitting division, we were basically approved for a permit with only a few minor changes. I personally attended a meeting In May of 06 with Mr. Gordon, Mr. Malpass and also Mr. Paul Bartlett. All parties were in agreement that this was an acceptable and sufficient design with minimal modifications. The few changes that were suggested were detailed in a letter to Mr Malpass. I have copied Mr. Gordon's original email to Mr. Malpass below: -----Original Message----- Front: Robert Gordon[mailto:Robert.Gordon a,ncmail.netJ Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 8:10 AM To:Justin Bishop;Jeff Malpass Subject:Brick Landing Comments Justin8ejj; There were just a few comments remaining for Brick Landing. * The impervious area totals listed on the application do not match the ones totaled at the beginning of the talc packet. *Please provide a better detail of the vegetated filter.

I see the note about the contractor not allowing sheet flow into the basin, but I would really feel more comfortable ifsomething were designed. The area I am concerned with is the Lake Forest, Section 2 area SE of the pond. There are no contours provided(so I do not know the direction offlow). If the runoffflows directly towards the basin, it will cause a problem and a swale/diversion should be designed. If it flows toward the cart path and over the curb -then nothing additional is necessary. If contours are unavailable,please provide flow arrows to document drainage patterns. *Please submit the signed offsile agreement-Shane indicated this may be delayed. Since it is just a few items, I am not planning to send any further correspondence. Please respond to this email to let me know you received it when you get a chance. Rob Gordon Express Stormwater Permitting (910)796-7303 On January 29th 2007, Mr. Malpass respectfully submitted our Easement Agreement along with the revisions suggested in the above letter. We apologize for the delay in obtaining the offsite agreement. However,during our permitting process,the tract of land that the stormwater easement is located on changed ownership. The logistics of this matter were complicated and the process lengthy, at best. At this point in time we feel that we have fulfilled the requests of the Stormwater Permitting division and would like to move forward with permitting. We would also like to avoid paying the additional 1000 dollar fee that"...that may be charged for subsequent reviews due to insufficiency of a permit application..."as you suggested(Item #6)due, in fact, to the reason that at this point there should be no further reviews. I thank you in advance for your consideration of this letter and am available for discussion at your convenience. At the very least, for now, we would appreciate an extension(currently our deadline is February 9th)while this letter is under review. 1 have listed my contact information below.

PO Box 1571 Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480 Subject: Request for Additional Information, Stormwater Project No. SW8 060404 Al Cottages at Brick Landing Plantation, Brunswick County Dear Mr. Davy: uu - The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for The Cottages at Brick Landing on April 5, 2006 with additional information received on April 25, 2006 and January 30, 2007. Preliminary reviews of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review. p 1. Provide additional infiltration basins for the 30-acre drainage area. Limit the drainage area to each infiltration basin to approximately 5 acres as required by the Infiltration Supplement; Form SW U-103; section II (g)and the April 1999 BMP section 8.5, page 83. "The maximum drainage area that should flow to a single infiltration device is 5 acres." 2. Provide flow distribution mechanism within each infiltration basin to minimize erosion as required in the Infiltration Supplement, Form SWU-103, section II (o). Designs often include an inlet trench down the middle of the infiltration basin lined with rock and sized to handle the specific flow rate to provide sheet flow. 3. Provide level spreaders at the stormwater outlet to wetlands and surface waters according to the BMP [attached]. Plan sheet number 10 of 13 includes a plan view with protection, but does not appear to meet the BMP design guidelines. 4. Submit the Operation and Maintenance agreement for the level spreader[attached]. 5. Provide a drainage easement for the outfall pipe, vegetated filter, level spreader and the stormwater discharge area at the 10-year storm event. The agreement for the easement on the outfall pipe and the vegetated filter were provided on the plans submitted January 30, 2007, but the easement for the stormwater discharge area was not provided. Document on the plans the easement for the stormwater discharge area and submit a copy of the signed offsite easement agreement with mention of the outfall pipe, vegetated filter, level spreader and stormwater discharge area at the 10 year storm event and also refer to the plan drawing number and date on that agreement. The approval of the large amount of water discharging on the adjacent property needs to be understood by the owner. 6. Provide an additional fee of$1000 to cover the additional reviews of this project. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to further preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to February 9, 2007, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and is subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.

Typically looking for a few spot elevations and a cross-section. * Offsite drainage. I see the note about the contractor not allowing sheet flow into the basin, but I would really feel more comfortable if something were designed. The area I am concerned with is the Lake Forest, Section 2 area SE of the pond. There are no contours provided (so I do not know the direction of flow) . If the runoff flows directly towards the basin, it will cause a problem and a swale/diversion should be designed. If it flows toward the cart path and over the curb - then nothing additional is necessary. If contours are unavailable, please provide flow arrows to document drainage patterns. * Please submit the signed offsite agreement - Shane indicated this may be delayed. Since it is just a few items, I am not planning to send any further correspondence. Please respond to this email to let me know you received it when you get a chance.

PO Box 1571 Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480 Subject: Request for Additional Information Stormwater Project No. SW8 060404 The Cottages at Brick Landing Brunswick County Dear Mr. Davy: The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for The Cottages at Brick Landing on April 5, 2006. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review. 1. Please show any 404 wetlands on��ite(or the offsite easement). If none exist, please add a note indicating no wetla�s exiX n site (or on the offsite easement). 2. Please provide (permeability) spocifications for the clay liner. 3. Please show both the infiltration basin and storage pond on the same cross-section. 4. There does not appear to be pump on/offe(evations specified on the drawings 5. Please provide a complete stage-stogag ce hart for both the storage basin and the infiltration basin. / 6. Please provide a dimension for II e art path on the drawings. 7. A level spreader is required � t e" tlet of the bypass pipe (prior to the vegetated filter). Please provide a detail of the els spreader. 8. Please add basin dimensions and basin elevations for both the storage pond and the infiltration basin on the supplement. 9. It is unclear how the offsite runoff will get into the storage basin. Please make sure no runoff will sheet flow directly into the basin. The basin is 15 ft deep and will likely cause significant erosion. 10. Please list the drainage area (sf or ac),for both the offsite and onsite DA on the DA map. 11. It appears a portion of the cart pat is offsite, but the entire cart path appears to be counted as onsite on the applicaion.

Please submit a copy of the signed offsite eassmment agreement for the outfall pipe/vegetated filter. ( \ \ 13. As mentioned above, clay liner specifics ions were not provided but it is assumed that the liner is going to be a compacted y. It is unlikely that a good stand of vegetation will establish if sodded/sown dirpe in compacted clay, even with the specified soil amendments. Typically, a Jaye f topsoil is specified on to provide a better growing media for grass/vegetation. 14. Please clarify the vegetation to be used on/in the basin. There are 3 charts of vegetation provided as well as.a note indicating several species to be planted on the slopes on the pond. 15. The proposed restrictive covenants do not contain all correct language. Make sure all attached high-density language is included in the proposed restrictive covenants. The maximum BUA/lot must be specified-in the proposed restrictive covenants. Also, the last sentence in Article IX, sectign 1 is not correct — lots can borrow BUA from other lots, but this must be approved 6,0WQ. The last part of Section 1 (c) is not entirely correct. Lot line, curb outlet swales are a component of a low-density curb and gutter plan. This project is high-density and no such permit requirement exists. Additional fees, not to exceed 50% of the original permit application fee, may be charged for subsequent reviews due to the insufficiency of a permit application, as specified by Section 11 AA of S.L. 2003-284. All of the above items must be completed by the return date specified below to avoid a resubmittal fee. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to April 26, 2006, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. If you need additional time to submit the information, please mail or fax your request for a time extension to the Division at the address and fax number at the bottom of this letter. The request must indicate the date by which you expect to submit the required information. The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and is subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A. Please reference the State assigned project number on all correspondence. Any original documents that need to be revised have been sent to the engineer or agent. All original documents must be returned or new originals must be provided. Copies are not acceptable. If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me at (910) 796-7303.

Gordon In accordance with Title 15 NCAC 2H.1000, the Coastal Stormwater Management Regulations, deed restrictions and protective covenants are required for High Density Residential Subdivisions where lots will be subdivided and sold and runoff will be treated in an engineered stormwater control facility. Deed restrictions and protective covenants are necessary to ensure that the development maintains a "built-upon" area consistent with the design criteria used to size the stormwater control facility. 1. The following covenants are intended to ensure ongoing compliance with State Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8060404, as issued by the Division of Water Quality under NCAC 2H.1000. 2. The State of North Carolina is made a beneficiary of these covenants to the extent necessary to maintain compliance with the stormwater management permit. 3. These covenants are to run with the land and be binding on all persons and parties claiming under them. 4. The covenants pertaining to stormwater may not be altered or rescinded without the express written consent of the State of North Carolina, Division of Water Quality. 5. Alteration of the drainage as shown on the approved plan may not take place without the concurrence of the Division of Water Quality. 6. The maximum allowable built-upon area per lot is square feet. This allotted amount includes any built-upon area constructed within the lot property boundaries, and that portion of the right-of-way between the front lot line and the edge of the pavement. Built upon area includes, but is not limited to, structures, asphalt, concrete, gravel, brick, stone, slate, coquina and parking areas, but does not include raised, open wood decking, or the water surface of swimming pools. 7. All runoff from the built-upon areas on the lot must drain into the permitted system. This may be accomplished through a variety of means including roof drain gutters which drain to the street, grading the lot to drain toward the street, or grading perimeter swales to collect the lot runoff and directing them into a component of the stormwater collection system. Lots that will naturally drain into the system are not required to provide these additional measures. , m P. 1 * * * COMMUNICATION RESULT REPORT ( APR. 12.2006 10:50AM ) TTI NCDENR WIRO FILE MODE OPTION ADDRESS (GROUP) RESULT PAGE ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 018 MEMORY TX 93925203 OK P. 4/4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REASON FOR ERROR E-1) HANG UP OR LINE FAIL E-2) BUSY E-3) NO ANSWER E-4) NO FACSIMILE CONNECTION FAX COVER SHEET 1 Date: April 10, 2006 No. of Pages: To: Jeff Malpass, PE From:Robert Gordon ` Express permitting section Company: Malpass Engineering FAX #910-350-2004 FAX#: 392.5203 Phone #910.796-7303 DWQ Stormwater Project Number: SW8 060404 Project Name: The Cottages at Brick Landing MESSAGE: Attached is the request for additional information for Brick Landing.

Make sure the plants specified can withstand some inundation. Clump grasses without runners are not suggested on slopes (that's why weeping Iovegrass is no longer used). I would suggest wetland plants in the bottom. That area (15' down) is likely to stay pretty wet, even with the pump and drain tile. Additional Fee note). This request for additional info has quite a few items. Very close to what we would normally charge an additional fee for (not necessarily an indication of the quality of the plan, but rather the permitting complexity of the site. and time required for re-review). Please make sure all items are adequately addressed - call if you have questions. One thing that helps me is to resubmit a cover letter that briefly describes how (& where) you addressed each item on the add-info letter. This helps avoid confusion on if/how you addressed each item. => The drawing is a little crowded. If you have any way to turn off the water/sewer stuff, I would greatly appreciate it.

The entrance to the site will be of off Landing Blvd. which is approx. 240 ft to the west of and parallels SR 1143. Total project acreage is approx. 20.74 acres. Total disturbed acreage is approx. 22.58 acres. Soils to be disturbed are mainly PaA, Mu, Lo, & Po. The runoff from the site was estimated using the rational Method, 10 year design storm and rainfall data for the area. The purpose of this project is to create a residential subdivision. The Cottages at Brick Landing Plantation is a high-density project. Stormwater from the site will be captured in a retention pond and pumped into an infiltration basin. Only the first 1 .5" will be captured and pumped into the infiltration basin. The remaining runoff will be bypassed. Construction Sequence: The gravel construction entrance and silt fence will be installed immediately. The pond. which will serve as a large sediment basin, will be installed. The site to the east of Landing Blvd. will be graded so as to drain to the pond. The site to the west of Landing Blvd. will sheet flow to the silt fence. Storm drain and utilities will be installed. Outlet and inlet protection will be installed as shown on plan. Upon completion of any phase of activity disturbed areas will be seeded within 21 days of no construction. —�� - -- �---�— � \± \Ps as+ » & { / ¥ y \ e \! ® * i © xS = E72i a « 7m J w E 1/� © (� \ = %j 2£ ® P \ * /\^ xt;® xH\ x2 ] ' \© !! » s;/ } - \7® > :? «x6T)- (r ! %5® wzs/ = 9�® \ � \ \ . w1 J c, :E% = ]m ®` \9 ) = 7 er ® w§» / Q ,m «�!/ « _ }/ 1 S/ -(dx7 H / _ § «, g of a� ar ) Ka s 7 a ©`/ / i� r) � 411 . \ «; nj -z = 70 4 I; © = 120,027 ® . i 628 I i — I E I,4`3,7 ''Cc ul 1 W I }} f L r IMn �� Sec I fr` pUlri�3 rt� G liit7�{ha�i31', fa�2 55'.717 min E 3 hr `I, .I, g4 nays I i I i E i E I I i i I THE CLARK GROUP F veb-F.trvsroimlermil Seiatce.: i 1),Ts11T jenicc VIA HAND DELIVERY February 2, 2006 Mr. Jeffrey Boyd Malpass, P.E.

The site contains two isolated wetland pockets both of which arc approximately .04 acres in size. Isolated wetlands such as these are not currently subject to regulation by the US Army Corps of Engineers under Section404 of The Clc-.fin Water Act- The North Carolina Division of Water Quality regulates isolated wetlands however,they generally do not assert jurisdiction over isolated wetlands less than 1/3 acre in size. According to the current stated policies of these regulatory agencies,the areas in,question are not jmsdictional. There are no wetlands present on the remainder of the two tracts. Should you find that you have any further questiuns regarding this matter,please do not hesitate to contact me or Anna Edwards at(910)-602-3900. Sincerely.

In the event that the Committee fails to respond in a timely manner, approval shall be deemed to have been denied. After termination of the Declarant's right to appoint the Committee, any denial of an application by the Committee may be appealed to the Board of Appeals in accordance with such procedures as the Board of Appeals may establish. SECTION 5. Commencement and Completion of Construction. If construction has not commenced on a project for which an application has been approved within six months after the date of approval, such approval shall be deemed withdrawn. Once construction is commenced, it shall be diligently pursued to completion.

The budget is ratified unless at the meeting a majority of all of the Lot Owners in the Association rejects the budget. In the event the proposed budget is rejected, the periodic budget last ratified by the Lot Owners shall be continued until such time as the Lot Owners ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the Board of Directors. The Annual Assessment for each Lot shall be established based on the annual budget thus adopted; provided, however, that the first Annual Assessment shall be set by the Declarant prior to the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner. The due date for payment shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to require the assessments to be paid in periodic installments. The Association shall,upon demand,and for a reasonable charge furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid.

Any working capital funds remaining after the last lot has been sold by Declarant shall be transferred to and become part of the general funds of the Association, in the discretion of the Board of Directors. SECTION 8. Rate of Assessment. The Association may differentiate in the amount of Assessments charged when a reasonable basis for distinction exists, such as between vacant Lots of record and Lots of record with completed dwellings for which certificates of occupancy have been issued by the appropriate governmental authority, or when any other substantial difference as a ground of distinction exists between Lots. However, Assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots similarly situated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Declarant shall not be required to pay assessments with regard to Lots which it owns. SECTION 9.Commencement of Assessments. Assessments for each Lot shall commence upon the date of acceptance by an Owner of a deed from Declarant. SECTION 10. Effect Of Nonpayment of Assessments And Remedies Of The Association.

No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Area or abandonment of his Lot. All unpaid installment payments of Assessments shall become immediately due and payable if an Owner fails to pay any installment within the time permitted.The Association may also establish and collect late fees for delinquent installments. SECTION 11. Lien for Assessments. The Association may file a lien against a Lot when any Assessment levied against said Lot remains unpaid for a period of 30 days or longer. (a)The lien shall constitute a lien against the Lot when and after the claim of lien is filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Lot is located. The Association may foreclose the claim of lien in like manner as a mortgage on real estate under power of sale under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General Statutes. Fees, charges, late charges, fines, interest, and other charges imposed pursuant to Sections 47E-3-102, 47F-3-107, 47F-3-107A and 47F-3-1 15 of the Act are enforceable as Assessments. (b) The lien under this section shall be prior to all liens and encumbrances on a Lot except (i) liens and encumbrances (specifically including, but not limited to, a mortgage or deed of trust on the Lot) recorded before the docketing of the claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court, and (ii) liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments and charges against the Lot. (c) The lien for unpaid assessments is extinguished unless proceedings to enforce the lien are instituted within three years after the docketing of the claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court.

(e) Where the holder of a first mortgage or deed of trust of record, or other purchaser of a Lot obtains title to the Lot as a result of foreclosure of a first mortgage or first deed of trust, such purchaser and its heirs,successors and assigns shall not be liable for the Assessments against the Lot which became due prior to the acquisition of title to the Lot by such purchaser. The unpaid Assessments shall be deemed to be Common Expenses collectible from all of the Lot Owners including such purchaser, its heirs, successors and assigns. (f) A claim of lien shall set forth the name and address of the Association, the name of the record Owner of the Lot at the time the claim of lien is filed, a description of the Lot, and the amount of the lien claimed. 10 ARTICLE VIII MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SITE IMPROVEMENTS, USE RESTRICTIONS AND MAINTENANCE SECTION 1. Minimum Standards for the Site Improvements. (a) Each dwelling shall have a minimum of 1400 square feet of "enclosed, heated dwelling area". The term enclosed,heated dwelling area as used in the minimum requirements shall be the total enclosed area within a dwelling which is heated by a common heating system: provided, however, that such term does not include garages, terraces, decks, open porches, and like areas. (b) Since the establishment of standard inflexible building setback lines for location of houses on lots tends to force construction of house both directly behind and directly to the side of other homes with detrimental effects on privacy, view of the water and surrounding areas, preservation of important trees, etc.. no specific setback lines are established by these covenants, except as may be set out on any recorded plats of any areas in the development. In order to assure, however, that location of houses will be arranged where practical and appropriate so that the maximum amount of view and tree preservation will be considered for each house; that the structures will be located with regard to the ecological constraints and topography of each individual lot, the location of large trees and similar considerations,the Declarant or its designee reserves unto itself, its successors and assigns, the right to control absolutely the precise site and location of any house or dwelling or other structure upon all lots, including its relationship to streets, the height of all buildings, setting of all buildings, and their location on to another. Provided, however, that no structure shall be located in violation of any set back lines which may appear on any recorded plats, that such location shall be determined only after reasonable opportunity is afforded to the lot owner to recommend a specific site and location of buildings and driveway,etc.,and provided further, that in the event an agreed location is stipulated in writing in the contract of purchase, or subsequent agreement,the Declarant shall approve automatically such location for a residence.

All mail and newspaper boxes shall be uniform in design. Design for mail and newspaper boxes shall be furnished by Declarant. Fences shall be permitted; provided, however, that the design, placement, and materials of any fence are approved by the Declarant, the Board, or the Architectural Control Committee, as the case may be.
