Pervious area improvements will be allowed in this project if documentation is provided demonstrating those improvements meet the requirements of the stormwater rule. 3. LOW DENSITY AREA REQUIREMENTS. The low density area requirements for this project are as follows: a. LOW DENSITY AND CONVEYANCE DESIGN. The low density area is permitted based on the design criteria presented in the sealed, signed and dated supplement and as shown in the approved plans and specifications. This low density area and conveyances must be provided and maintained at the design condition. b. PIPING. Other than the piping shown on the approved plans, only minimal amounts of piping under driveways and roads is allowed within the low density area when it cannot be avoided. No additional piping is allowed. c. DISPERSED FLOW. The low density area has maximized dispersed flow of stormwater runoff through vegetated areas and minimized the channelization of flow. d. VEGETATED CONVEYANCES. Stormwater runoff that could not be released as dispersed flow may be transported by vegetated conveyances with minimum side slopes of 3:1 (H:V) designed to not erode during the peak flow from the 10-year storm event as defined in the stormwater rules and approved by the Division. 4. STORMWATER OUTLETS. The peak flow from the 10-year storm event shall not cause erosion downslope of the discharge point. 5. VEGETATED SETBACKS. A 30-foot wide vegetative setback must be provided and maintained in grass or other vegetation adjacent to all surface waters as shown on the approved plans. The setback is measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded structures, from the top of bank of each side of streams or rivers, and from the mean high waterline of tidal waters, perpendicular to the shoreline. a. BUA IN THE VEGETATED SETBACK. BUA may not be added to the vegetated setback except as shown on the approved plans or in the following instances where the BUA has been minimized and channelizing runoff from the BUA is avoided: i. Water dependent structures; and ii. Minimal footprint uses such as poles, signs, utility appurtenances, and security lights that cannot practically be located elsewhere. b. RELEASE OF STORMWATER NOT TREATED IN A STORMWATER CONTROL MEASURE (SCM). Stormwater that is not treated in an SCM, such as in this low density project (including roof drains), must be released at the edge of the vegetated setback and allowed to flow through the setback as dispersed flow. 6. RECORDED DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS. The stormwater rules require the following documents to be recorded with the Office of the Register of Deeds prior to the sale of individual lots or groups of lots: a. EASEMENTS.

The swale or vegetated area can carry the peak flow from the Y or N 10-year storm at a non-erosive velocity. 2. The longitudinal slope of the swale or vegetated areas does not Y or N exceed 5%. 3. The swale has a trapezoidal cross-section and a minimum bottom Y or N width of two feet. 4. The minimum length of the swale or vegetated area is 100 feet. Y or N 5. Side slopes are no steeper than 3H:1 V. Y or N 6. The project utilizes treatment swales designed per Section .1061 Y or N in lieu of the curb outlet system requirements. Vegetated Setbacks (if applicable) OAs-built ON/E ON/A 1. The width of the vegetated setback is at least 50'. Y or N 2. The width of the vegetated setback has been measured from the normal pool of impounded waters, the MHW line of tidal waters, Y or N or the top of bank of each side of rivers or streams. 3. The vegetated setback is maintained in grass or other vegetation. Y or N 4. BUA that meets the requirements of NCGS 143-214.7(b2)(2) is Y or N located in the setback. 5. BUA that does NOT meet the requirements of NCGS 143- 214.7(b2)(2) is located within the setback and is limited to: • Publicly-funded linear projects (road, greenway, or sidewalk) Y or N • Water dependent structures • Minimal footprint uses such as poles, signs, utility appurtenances, and security lights. 6. The amount of BUA within the setback is minimized, and Y or N channeling of the runoff from the BUA has been avoided. 7. Stormwater is not discharged (via swale or pipe)through a vegetated setback. Stormwater is released at the edge of the Y or N setback and allowed to flow through the setback as dispersed flow. Page 6 of 7 Post-Construction Stormwater Management Permit No. SW6240401 Outlets OAs-built ON/E ON/A 1. Stormwater outlets do not cause erosion downslope of the Y or N discharge point during the peak flow from the 10-year storm. Variations OAs-built ON/E ON/A 1. The project has variations from the MDC that were not previously Y or N approved. (Modification may be required.) Deed restrictions (if applicable) OAs-built ON/E ON/A 1. Deed restrictions are recorded and ensure that the project and the BUA will be maintained in perpetuity consistent with the Y or N permit, approved plans, and specifications. For Subdivisions Only (Residential or Commercial) OAs-built ON/E ON/A 1. The number of platted lots is consistent with the approved plans. Y or N 2. The project area is consistent with the approved plans. Y or N 3. The layout of the lots and streets is consistent with the approved Y or N plan. 4. The width /radius of streets, paved accesses, cul-de-sacs and Y or N sidewalks is consistent with the approved plan. 5. No piping, other than those minimum amounts needed under a Y or N driveway or under a road, has been added. 6. The lot grading, road grading, vegetated conveyances, piping, Y or N inverts, and elevations are consistent with the approved plans.
