The Reserve at Regents Center Ph 2
Lexington, Davidson County
Dear Mr. Ratchford:
The Stormwater Permitting Unit received a complete package for the project on April 03, 2017.
Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, will
comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and Session Law
2006-246. We are forwarding this Stormwater Management Permit No. SW4170401, issued
May 18, 2017, for the construction, operation and maintenance of the subject project and the
stormwater BMPs.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 19, 2025, and shall be subject
to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency
permit that may be required. Please pay special attention to the conditions listed in this permit
regarding the Operation and Maintenance of the BMP(s), recordation of deed restrictions,
procedures for changes of ownership, transferring the permit, and renewing the permit. Failure
to establish an adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management
system, to record deed restrictions, to follow the procedures for transfer of the permit, or to
renew the permit, will result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (OAH). The written petition must conform to Chapter 1508 of the North

website at www.NCOAH.com. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and
binding.
