Dear Mr. White:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a complete, modified Stormwater Management Permit
Application for Albert J. Ellis Airport on February 10, 2015. The applicant has certified that the project's
built-upon areas have been designed to meet the requirements of Session Law 2012-200. The
applicant has indicated that all existing and proposed parking areas, roads, taxiways, terminal
buildings, runways, aprons, etc., provide for overland flow that promotes infiltration and treatment of the
stormwater into grassed buffers, shoulders and grass swales. As such, the project is deemed permitted
pursuant to the State post-construction stormwater requirements. We are forwarding modified Permit
No. SW8 931005 dated February 27, 2015, for the construction of the deemed permitted built-upon
areas associated with the subject project.
The modifications covered by this permit include the construction of 1.39 acres of built-upon area for a
Temporary Rental Car Service Center.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency permit that
may be required. This modification covers the construction of the General Aviation Terminal and Apron.
The approved plans for this modification are added to the previously approved plans.
If any parts, requients, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an ad�udicrem atory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
(OAH). The written petition must conform to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes. Per
NCGS 143-215(e)the petition 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, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Linda
Lewis at(910) 796-7343.

upon area within a 676.88 acre project area. Prior to this modification, there was
97.62 acres of BUA permitted for the Airport. This modification adds 1.39 acres
of built-upon area, resulting in a new permitted BUA amount of 99.01 acres
equivalent to 14.6% of the total site area. This leaves 30.39 acres available for
future development.
2. The overall tract built-upon area percentage for the project must be maintained at
30% or less, as required by Section .1005 of the stormwater rules. The tract is
limited to a maximum of 203.06 acres of built-upon area.
3. Approved plans and specifications for projects covered by this permit are
incorporated by reference and are enforceable parts of the permit.
4. Per Session Law 2012-200, runoff from built-upon areas of the project must be
maintained via overland flow that promotes infiltration and treatment of
stormwater runoff into grassed buffers, shoulders, and grassed swales.

Subject: Deemed permitted Albert J Ellis airport
SL"(c4)The Department shall deem runways,taxiways,and any other areas that provide for overland stormwater flow
that promote infiltration and treatment of stormwater into grassed buffers,shoulders,and grass swales permitted
pursuant to the State post-construction stormwater requirements."
I did exchange an email w Linda and we agree that the Session Law doesn't go into what"other"areas are included (or
excluded).Clearly the intent of the SL was to include"other areas"outside runways and taxiways since those were
explicitly mentioned along with"other areas."
Other areas could include hangers,terminals,air traffic control,aircraft storage at airports,airfreight handling at
airports,airport leasing,airport terminal services,aircraft service/repairing,and material handling facilities that provide
for overland stormwater flow that promote infiltration and treatment of stormwater into grassed buffers,shoulders,
and grass swales(implicit). I'm not sure airport tenants and car rental operations were meant to be included (or
excluded). But,to the extent that the law was intended to address potential hazards from standing water, car rental
facilities that are on the airport property were not explicitly"excluded."
There may have been a secondary intent to promote economic development—in which case car rental facilities on
airport property that provide for overland stormwater flow that promote infiltration and treatment of stormwater into
grassed buffers,shoulders,and grass swales would be included.
I would like to get everyone thoughts on what"other areas"should be included(and excluded). We probably need to
run it by legal for a legal opinion.
In the mean time we may need to make a decision on Albert J Ellis Airport Project.

Subject: Albert J Ellis Stormwater Permit
Good morning Mike... we talked last week about the Albert J Ellis stormwater permit
relating to the temporary rental car service center. I think you were trying to link up
with Linda Lewis - who we met with on February 10th concerning our express
permit. Linda said we met the intent of the aviation regulations but she was not sure
that our rental car tenant was covered under the case law. Our rental car ready/return
lot was already approved, so we are not sure why the controversy on this site.
Our contractor remains on hold until we can get a ruling from Linda... I just wanted to
check with you to see if you had a conversation with her before I call her back. Thanks
for all your help. TSS
