and revegetation of side slopes; (d) immediate repair of eroded areas; (0
debris removal and unclogging of the outlet structure, orifice device, catch
basins and piping.
The east slope of the pond has stabilization problems and the orifice is

Certificate of Occupancy, and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from an appropriate designer for the system

on or before June 12, 2004.
2. Submit a plan revision for approval. The Division must verify that all built-

permanent stand of grass cover.
4. Perform routine maintenance and unclog the orifice.

Subject: Detention Pond
Spring Branch Junction
Stormwater Project No. 980719
Pender County
Dear Mr. Heffernan:
The Division of Water Quality received your letter regarding the permitted detention pond at Spring
Branch Junction, in which you request an additional 6-12 months to construct the required detention pond, due
to financing problems. Financial problems are not considered to be a valid reason in defense of your inaction
regarding getting the required detention pond built per the permit requirements and the approved plans It is not
possible for the Division to exempt a commercial development from the stormwater regulations when the one
acre disturbed limit has been exceeded, whether intentional or not.
The permit for this shopping center and detention pond was issued in April, 1999. If there was a problem
meeting the permit requirements, or a question about the terms or conditions, the permit allowed 30 days from
the date of issue to adjudicate any term or condition. Since there was no adjudication, it was assumed that there
was no question about the terms and conditions of the permit, and it was expected that the facility would be
built in accordance with the approved plans in a timely manner.
Please make the necessary arrangements to get the pond constructed within the next 60 days. Please
inform this Office in writing of the expected construction schedule. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone].

On August 1, 2000, Wilmington Regional Office personnel performed a Compliance Inspection of
the project known as Hampstead Printing at Spring Branch Junction, located 6865 US Hwy. 17 North

vegetated and operational for its intended use prior to the construction of any built-upon
surface except roads. The State Stormwater Permit No. SW8 980719 for this project was
issued on April 20, 1999, since this time no treatment system, i.e. detention pond, has been
constructed to treat runoff from this development.
To correct these violations you must

violation(s) and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before September 3,

2. Please construct the detention pond according to the approved plans and have it certified by
a professional engineer immediately in order to protect surface waters of the State.

Project No: 980713PE
Pender County
Dear Mr. Heffernan:
On July 7, 1998, personnel of this office inspected a project located on Hwy 17 in Hampstead
in Pander County, North Carolina. This inspection was performed to determine compliance with the
North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973. The inspection revealed a land-disturbing
activity of approximately 1.2 acres being conducted.
It is our understanding that you are responsible for this land-disturbing activity. The purpose
of this letter is to inform you that this activity was found to be in violation of the Act, NCGS 1 13A-50
to 66, and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 4. If'you feel that you are not
responsible for the following violations, please notify this office immediately.
I , The violations that were found are:
1. Failure to file an erosion and sedimentation control plan with this office at least 30 days prior
to beginning a land-disturbing activity on a tract comprising more than one acre, when more
than one acre is to be uncovered, failure to secure this office's prior approval of the plan for
any land-disturbing prior to beginning the land-disturbing activity. NCGS 1 13A-57(4) and 15A
NCAC 4B.0007(c).
A land-disturbing activity greater than one acre in size is taking place without an approved
erosion and sedimentation control plan. (1.2 acres)
An acceptable erosion and sedimentation control plan must be filed with and approved by this
office and implemented on the site sufficient to prevent off-site sedimentation. Temporary
measures must be provided immediately to control erosion and prevent sedimentation damage.
Any additional land-disturbing activities conducted without an approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan will constitute additional violations of the Act. We will notify you
following our review of the plan if additional measures are required.

by such land-disturbing activities. 15A NCAC 46.0005.

To correct these violations, you must:
1. Submit an erosion and sedimentation control plan to this office for the reference project.
2. Install erosion control measures to curb erosional processes.
Please be advised that if these violations are not corrected within 30 days of receipt of this
notice, the Director, Division of Land Resources, will be requested to take appropriate legal action
against you pursuant to NCGS 1 13A-64. That action could be the assessment of a civil penalty and
