This inspection was performed to follow up on the original joint Notice of Violation (NOV) issued March 18, 2009 (see copy attached), and to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8 050309, issued to you on March 17, 2005 with approved plan revisions on August 31, 2007. A Continuing Notice of Violation for compliance with the stormwater permit was issued on May 12, 2009. Others present at the site were representatives from East Coast Engineering & Surveying, Land Management Group, and US Army Corps of Engineers. To summarize the stormwater portion, the project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 050309, issued pursuant to the requirements of the stormwater rules, 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are: I. Failure to build according to the approved plan. Per Section 11.4 of the Permit, the permittee shall submit to the Director and shall have received approval for revised plans, specifications, and calculations prior to construction, for any modification to the approved plans. 1. Overall lot layout is not in accordance with the plans, and there are no street names on the plans. 2. An approximate 3' deep ditch, going through several wetland areas, was constructed instead of the 1' deep trapezoidal swale specified in uplands. This ditch has now been filled back and vegetation is established. The swales in these areas will need to be redesigned.

Many lots and road sections are under water, 2'-3' in some places, due to high water table and flooding due to recent rain. The wetlands are going to be redelineated on a new jurisdictional wetlands survey signed by the Corps of Engineers. Once the new jurisdictional wetlands determination is complete, the stormwater plans should be modified accordingly. To correct these violations you must: Provide a written "Plan of Action"which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violation(s) and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before March 27, 2013. Your plan of action should address the time frame for providing a jurisdictional wetlands survey, and submittal of an application to modify the permit, including revised site plans, grading /drainage plans, and revised calculations as applicable to the new design. Failure to provide the "Plan of Action" by March 27, 2013, or to correct the violations by the date designated in the "Plan of Action", are considered violations of 15A NCAC 2H.1000, and may result in the initiation of enforcement action which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A. By copy of this letter to the Brunswick County Building Inspector, this Office is requesting that the Building Inspector consider withholding building permits and Certificates of Occupancy for this project until this matter is satisfactorily resolved.

Others present at the site were representatives from East Coast Engineering &Surveying, US Army Corps of Engineers, and the EPA. To summarize the stormwater portion, the project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 050309, issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are: 1. Overall lot layout has changed and is not in accordance with the plans. It appears that at least one or more lots have changed on this project. Specifically, Lot 2 appears to have 2 houses on it, and many lot numbers in the field do not match the plans. Also, there are no street names on the plans. 2. Drainage swales in the back of many lots and throughout the project site are not constructed in accordance with the plans. An approx. 3' ditch has been constructed instead of a 1' deep trapezoidal swale, as specified. 3. Drainage swales have not been maintained properly. All swales require modification to bring them into compliance. To correct these violations you must: 1. Provide a written "Plan of Action" which outlines the actions you will take to correct the violation(s) and a time frame for completion of those actions, on or before June 15, 2009.

Submit a revised site plan and grading /drainage plan with proposed changes. Revised plans must show any proposed changes to the drainage pattern. We recommend keeping the basic concept of the overall drainage system by routing the runoff from the northernmost drainage areas towards the relic ditch in the wetlands north of the property. 3. Convert existing ditches on the site to trapezoidal swales with 5:1 slope, as shown in the plan details. 4. Submit revised calculations, as needed, to show that flow through the swales and outlets is non-erosive for a 10-year storm. 5. Show riprap, scour holes, and/or level spreaders on the plans, as needed, to diffuse the flow at the outlet areas. Failure to provide the "Plan of Action" by June 15, 2009, or to correct the violations by the date designated in the "Plan of Action", are considered violations of 15A NCAC 2H.1000, and may result in the initiation of enforcement action which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A. By copy of this letter to the Brunswick County Building Inspector, this Office is requesting that the Building Inspector consider withholding building permits and Certificates of Occupancy for this project until this matter is satisfactorily resolved.
