Subject: State Stormwater Permit Application No. SW8 160701
Charles W.Parrish Tract(formerly Phases 7&8 of San Rio)
Low Density Project
Brunswick County
Dear Messrs.Parrish and Varnam:
The Wilmington Regional Office received notification that Mr.Parrish had contacted Tracy Davis,P.E.,
the Director of the Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources(DEMLR),to voice his concerns
regarding the subject permit application. This project is part of the larger San Rio development that was
originally permitted in 2007 to Nathan D. Benson,Manager of Sandler at Shallotte,LLC,under SW8
070202(Master Permit and Phase 1)and SW8 070834(Phases 2&3). Sandler at Shallotte,LLC filed for
bankruptcy and dissolved their corporation.On April 26,2016,the Division sent a letter to Mr.Benson
requiring him to correct the non-compliance issues,including notification to the new property owners of
the permit requirements that covered their property.DEMLR sent a copy of this letter to all new property
owners. Several options for restructuring the current permits and/or obtaining new permits for the three
new property owners were outlined in this letter. The Division received a new permit application from
Mr. Parrish on July 1,2016. DEMLR informed the other property owners that Mr.Parrish was applying
for a new separate permit for his portion of the property,therefore the other new property owners decided
to request the transfer of the current permits above into their name. The transfer to the new owner, Stars
&Stripes 2I,LLC,was completed last month.
As stated above,on July 1,2016.the Division received Mr.Parrish's low density permit application for
the 224.38 acres that he purchased on December 30,2015. The application was reviewed on August 22,
2016 and additional information was requested. This information was required to be submitted to the
Division by September 22,2016. However, on September 12,2016,the Division received a letter from
Mr.Parrish informing the Division that he no longer owned the tract and had sold it to Sammy Vamam
on August 17,2016. The letter stipulated that Mr. Parrish would only complete the permit process if Mr.
Varnam agreed to take over the application.According to Mr.Parrish, even though the permit application
fee had already been paid and the permit process was almost complete,an agreement was not reached
with Mr.Vamam.If Mr. Parrish decides to cancel the permit application review in writing to the
Division,the fee supplied with the application will be forfeited and the low density permit for the 224.38
acre tract will not be issued.
Please note that if this individual low density permit that Mr. Parrish applied for is not issued,the
property now owned by Mr.Vamam will remain covered by the SW8 070202 master permit and is
subject to the overall low density built-upon area limits specified in that permit.This means that, even
though Mr.Varnam is not the permittee of record for SW8 070202,he must meet that permit's low
density requirements for managing his property.In addition,because this permit is now owned by Stars&
Stripes 2I,LLC,they have the responsibility, and right,to monitor and to limit all activities and
construction occurring on Mr. Vamam's property that may impact their permit.

At present,the only built-upon area for the 224.38 acre tract currently shown on the approved plans under SW8
070202 is for a small sales office,parking area and driveway. In addition,the property is subject to that
conservation easement benefitting the NC Agricultural Foundation,Inc.as recorded in DB 2722 at PG 747.
Even through there is a conservation easement on this property, it does allow for certain development activities
on the property that may impact the stormwater permit and compliance with that permit.
As required by the stormwater rules and the permit, SW8 070202, when there is a change in ownership of the
permitted property the permit must be transferred. That has been completed.However,when the change in
ownership involves several new owners the permit must also be modified. Mr.Varnam has several options to
resolve this permit situation, however it does not include the refusal to be covered by a permit since it is already
under a permit. Mr. Vamam's options include:
1. Work with Mr.Parrish to complete the current review process and receive the new low density
permit for this property. This option is the least costly and will give Mr. Vamam the independence
to monitor and control his own activities on this property. We can complete the current review and
issue the permit to Mr.Parrish and then transfer the permit to Mr.Varnam. We have enclosed the
transfer application,to be completed, signed and returned if you choose this path. Since this would
be the first transfer there will be no cost to Mr.Varnam.
2. Work with Stars& Stripes 21,LLC to modify their permit to include your name on the current
permit as a co-permittee. The modification could easily be written to separate the responsibilities
under the permit for the parts of the property that you own and that Stars& Stripes 21,LLC owns.A
legal agreement for management and maintenance could be established between co-permittees.The
shared modification cost for the permit is$505.00.
3. Apply for a new permit. The cost will include$505.00 and associated engineering costs.
The current property owner,Full Rut Adventures, LLC(Sammy Varnam,member/manager)is required to select
one of the options above to be covered by a stormwater management permit for this site.The Division
recommends Option I since it is the least costly approach for Mr.Varnam. Mr.Varnam is required to respond
to this letter by November 30,2016. If Mr.Varnam does not respond to this letter or does not select one of the
options offered above, by November 30,2016 the Division will initiate the necessary enforcement actions as
allowed under NCGS 143-215.1,which include assessing a civil penalty for failure to obtain a required permit
under NCGS 143-215.1 (a)and/or refusing to process any new permit applications made by Mr. Varnam or any
of his companies or subsidiary companies,as allowed under NCGS 143-21 .1(b)(4)b.2.
If you have any questions regarding this matter,please call Linda Lewis or Georgette Scott in the Wilmington
Regional Office of the Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources at(910)•-796-7215. Thank you for your
cooperation in resolving this matter as soon as possible.
