Subject: Permit Renewal
Post-Construction Stormwater Management Permit No. SW8970218
Craft Hardware
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Korman:
Effective August 1, 2013 the Post-Construction Stormwater Management Program has been 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 permits issued prior to August 1,2013 until they are modified.
Please note that this permit will now reference DEMLR as the Division responsible for enforcement of the permit.
On August 5, 2009, the Governor signed Session Law 2009-406. This law impacted any development approval
issued by the former Division of Water Quality under Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes,which
was current and valid at any point between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010. The law extended the
effective period of any permit that was set to expire during this time frame to three(3)years from its current
expiration date. On August 2, 2010,the Governor signed Session Law 2010-177,which granted an extra year for
a total of four(4)years extension.
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received a complete 8-year Permit Renewal Application for
the subject permit on August 4th, 2023. The Division is hereby notifying you that permit SW8970218 has been
renewed, updated, and re-issued on August 14", 2023,as attached. As requested, a copy of the current operation
and maintenance agreement is also enclosed. Please be aware that the renewal and re-issuance of this stormwater
permit does not imply that the site is currently in compliance.
This permit shall be effective until June 9',2030, which includes all available extensions, and does not supersede
any other agency permit that may be required. The project shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. This permit does not impose new or increased stormwater control requirements; it clarifies the
rules and requirements of this program to provide you with a better understanding of your obligations under this
permit. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in future compliance problems. Please note that this
permit is not transferable except after notice to and approval by the Division.
If any parts,requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable,you have the right to request
an adjudicatory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). The
written petition must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and must be filed with the
OAH within thirty(30)days of receipt of this permit. You should contact the OAH with all questions regarding
the filing fee(if a filing fee is required)and/or the details of the filing process at 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh,NC 27699-6714,or via telephone at 919-431-3000,or visit their website at www.NCOAH.com. Unless
such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Logan Inman in the Wilmington Regional Office,
at(910) 796-7215 or logan.inman@deq.nc.gov.

UNDERGROUND INFILTRATION TRENCH MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Project Name: Craft Hardware
Responsible Party: Dan Korman
(Please Type or print clearly)
Address: 1946 Eastwood Rd. , Wilmington NC 284M Phone No. gio/956-47R
1. The trenches will be constructed in accordance with the approved stormwater plans and
specifications, including traffic bearing piping, and compacted void ratio verification.
2. Inlet catch basins and piping will be inspected monthly or after every runoff producing
rainfall event, whichever comes first. The basins, grates, piping and bypass weirs will be
cleared of accumulated trash.
3. Swales and vegetated filters will be inspected monthly or after every runoff producing
rainfall event, whichever occurs first. Eroded areas will be repaired before the next storm
event.
4. The water level in the monitoring wells will be recorded once a month or after a 1" rainfall
event, whichever comes first. Chronic high water table elevations (within V of the bottom
of the system for a period of 3 months) must be reported to DWQ, 395-3900.
5. If the system is failing, as determined by DWQ, the system will be immediately repaired
or replaced to original design specifications. Repair may include the necessity of removing
existing pavement to reach the underlying trench. If the system cannot be repaired to
function, other stormwater control devices, as allowed by NCAC 211.1000, must be
designed, approved and constructed.
6. Annual testing/cleaning of the system will be performed by an approved method.
By my signature below, I acknowledge that I am responsible for performing the maintenance as
outlined above.

s. Observation well(s) are provided (case-by-case basis).
t. Vegetated filter is provided for overflow (50 feet for SA waters, 30 feet for other waters)
and detail is shown on plans.
u. A benchmark for checking sediment accumulation is provided.
IV. UNDERGROUND INFILTRATION TRENCH OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
1. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass/overflow structure for
blockage and deterioration and the infiltration system for erosion, trash accumulation, grass cover, and general
condition.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re-seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow vegetative
cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash and blockages as needed to maintain
system performance.
3. Remove accumulated sediment annually or when depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. Restore
depth to original design depth without over-excavating. Over-excavating may cause the required water table
separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed.
4. The water level in any monitoring wells will be recorded after a 1 inch rainfall event and at least once a month.
Chronic high water table elevations (within 1 foot of the bottom of the system for a period of three months)
shall be reported to DWQ immediately.
5. If DWQ determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired or replaced to original
design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control
devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed.
6. Remove accumulated sediment from the infiltration system annually or when depth in the unit is reduced to
75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over-
excavating. Over-excavating may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may
compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an
appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e.
stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.).
A benchmark shall be established in the infiltration system. The benchmark will document the original
design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to
determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not
readily penetrate into accumulated sediments../ �j
When the depth at the benchmark reads YIS� t�IG—�U the mu afed(se�ent shall be removed
from the system.
