Dear Mr. Crowell:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A couple errors were found on the previous cover letter and permit. This letter and permit will replace the
ones sent on June 2, 2010.
The Stormwater Permitting Unit received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for
Hopewell Baptist Church on May 21, 2010. 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 Permit No. SW3100301, dated June 2, 2010, 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 June 2, 2020, and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the Operation and
Maintenance requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for inspection and
maintenance of the stormwater management system 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 upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this permit.
This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC
27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
This project will be kept on file at the Mooresville Regional Office. If you have any questions, or need
additional information concerning this matter, please contact Brian Lowther at [phone]; or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
for Coleen H. Sullins
