Subject: RE: [External] Update: Stormwater Permit permit number SW8910519, Cove Point.
Good Morning Mr. Bell,
Thank you very much for your response. I have spoken with my supervisor and the extension you requested in order to
complete your site assessment is acceptable. Please ensure a complete Permit Transfer Application package is received
by this office by October 13, 2020.
1 did, however, want to confirm a couple of things based on your email response. First, I want to confirm that you are
requesting an extension to the request for permit transfer. Your email is requesting a "permit renewal extension",
however, a renewal is a different and separate action from a permit transfer. As a Low Density site, this permit does not
have an expiration date and therefore does not require a renewal application.The second item I wanted to confirm is
the proposed transfer method. In your email you have cited GS 143-214.7(c2) as the transfer method, however this
method is upon request of the current permittee (in this case Creek's Edge Inc.) to the HOA, or simply put, only the
current permittee signs the application to transfer the permit to the HOA. Upon further investigation of the NC Secretary
of State database, Creek's Edge Inc. has been dissolved since December 13, 1999. Furthermore, according to the New
Hanover Register of Deeds, it appears that the common areas have been owned by Cove Point HOA, Inc. since
November 1, 2000. With that said, did you perhaps mean to cite GS 143-214.7(c5) as the transfer method?GS 143-
214.7(c5) is upon request of the successor owners of the property (in this case Cove Point HOA, Inc.)to be able to
transfer the permit without the current permittee needing to sign the application.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Thanks,

State Stormwater Permit No SW8 910519

Dear Mr. Zorda,
Thank you for your letter dated August 10, 2020 addressed to Cove Point HOA Inc., regarding the transfer of State
Stormwater Permit No SW8 910519 from Creek's Edge Inc. to Cove Point HOA, Inc. We have learned that this
permit was originally issued to Creek's Edge Inc. on June 21, 1991 and modified on August 26, 1993 but was never
transferred to Cove Point HOA, Inc.
Cove Point HOA, Inc. is hereby respectfully requesting a permit renewal extension to October 13th, 2020 to perform
necessary due diligence to assure the stormwater system is substantially compliant before it is transferred from
Creek's Edge, Inc. in accordance with GS 143-214.7 (c2) "(iii) the stormwater management system is in substantial
compliance with the stormwater permit issued to the permittee by the Department,"
Cove Point HOA, Inc. has retained Coastal Carolina Resource Group to perform an assessment of the stormwater
system and submit a proposal offering their opinion on what work, if any, may be necessary to assure
compliance. A representative from Coastal Carolina Resource Group visited the neighborhood on August 31, 2020
but they have not provided their proposal as of the date of this letter. We expect to see the proposal within 14 days.
Please email me back at iasonbell o)kw.com to confirm receipt of this correspondence.
Sincerely,
Jason Bell
Cove Point HOA, Inc. President

State Stormwater Permit No. SW8 910519
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Turner and Mr. Head:
Effective August 1, 2013, the State Stormwater program was transferred from the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ)to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources(DEMLR). All previous references to DWQ will
remain in older stormwater permits issued prior to August 1,2013 until they are modified. Please note that this
letter references DEMLR as the Division responsible for issuance of the permit.
On August 10, 2020, the Wilmington Regional Office of DEMLR conducted a file review of the subject project
currently operating under Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8 910519 originally issued to Creek's
Edge, Inc. on June 21, 1991 and subsequently modified on August 26, 1993. This file review and research of the
tax records revealed that the ownership of the common areas of the property covered by this permit has changed
and is now owned by Cove Point HOA,Inc. Please note that per the second paragraph of the permit SW8 910519,
the permittee must notify the Division of any owner name changes, project name changes, mailing address
changes and ownership changes and must receive approval from the Division to transfer the permit.
Per 15A NCAC 02H.1045 and G.S. 143-214.7 there are three options(listed below) that are available for
transferring a state stormwater permit to the new owner. The options selected below may be applicable to the
transfer of the subject permit:
® 1. Upon the request of the current and proposed permittee, where both the current and proposed
permittee sign the transfer application.
® 2. Upon the request of the current permittee to the HOA or POA, where only the current permittee signs
the transfer application. Specific submittal requirements are listed in G.S.143-214.7(c2).
® 3. Upon the request of a successor owner of the property on which the permitted activity is occurring or
will occur. Specific submittal requirements are listed in G.S.143-214.7(c5).
The transfer application form is available on our website at : https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/enerav-mineral-
land-resources/enerav-mineral-land-rules/stormwater-program/post-construction and explains the submittal
requirements for each type of transfer that is available.
It is your responsibility as the current permittee and HOA to complete, sign and submit the permit transfer form.
Please submit a transfer application along with the required documentation listed on the form or a plan of action
detailing when the transfer will be submitted to this Office by September 9,2020. Any individual or entity found
to be in noncompliance with the provisions of a stormwater management permit or the stormwater rules is subject
to enforcement procedures as set forth in NCGS 143 Article 21. Failure to provide the requested information, or
to respond to this letter by the due date, may initiate enforcement action including the assessment of civil
penalties.
