Subject: Draft Permit No. NCS000441
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Dear Ms. Suttenfield:
In accordance with your application for a stormwater discharge permit received on March 10,
2003 and as amended in the correspondence dated June 30, 2004 and October 26, 2004, we are
forwarding herewith a Draft NPDES permit. We believe that this draft permit will provide UNC Chapel
I -lilt with the flexibility vital for your University, while at the same time safeguarding and protecting our
natural environment for future generations of North Carolinians.
Please note that permit conditions in the draft permit that were not specifically addressed in your
application, are in "italic." Some of these requirements are required by Session Law 2004-163 and may
very well be addressed in other University Policies or Standard Operating Procedures. If these
requirements are addressed in other documents there is no need to revise the Stormwater Management
Plan. This is only a preliminary draft to give the University something to go on. If any parts,
requirements, conditions, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this draft
permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to contest those requirements.
Please provide your comments on the draft permit by Friday, March 3, 2006. We would like to
incorporate as many comments as possible before public notice. If it would be helpful, I am available to
get together with UNC. You will also have an opportunity to submit comments during the public
comment period. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggested revisions about the preliminary draft
permit don't hesitate to contact me at (919) 733-5083, ext. 545. If I'm not in the office, please call me on
my cell phone at (919)-389-7801 anytime before 9:00 pm and after 6:00 am.
Sincerely,
Mike Randall

majority of the impervious surface are�a,_and th s orrmwater conveyance system are located on the
main University campus. Four watersheds' re pr sent on the main University campus including
small portions of the Bolin Creek and or Creewatersheds, the headwaters of the Battle
Branch watershed, and the majority o the M t ngs of the Waters watershed. Most of the runoff
from the main campus flows into eeting of XhaWaters Creek.
On the main campus, precipitation .tills on green spaces, buildings, athletic facilities, parking
lots, and roads. For the developed areas the water is collected in swales, drain inlets, and
stormwater piping. Water running off campus is carried primarily through stormwater pipes,
eventually emerging into open stream channels before exiting University property.
The University owns property surrounding University Lake that is primarily open space and
wooded. Rainfall in this area flows into the Morgan Creek watershed. This land is mainly
undeveloped, with little impervious surface area.
University property near the Horace Williams Airport is primarily wooded and open space, with
some acreage used for maintenance facilities. This area drains into Booker and Bolin Creeks.
The University's Mason Farm property is comprised of a golf course, the Mason Farm Biological
Reserve, the Botanical Gardens and the Friday Center. Portions of the Mason Farm property are
developed with building and parking areas. The Mason Farm Biological Reserve and Botanical
gardens are wooded and undeveloped. Runoff from the Mason Farm property flows into Morgan
Creek.
The University owns land near the Glen Lennox area in Chapel Hill. This area is open space or
forest and is located within Bolin, Booker and Little Creek floodplains.
The Hospital owns an office an office building and associated parking lot in northern Chapel
Hill. This property is located within the Old Field Creek watershed.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Additional Information Request
Dear Ms. Myers:
After a review of your permit application materials, I found that it was very well written
and after addressing some minor issues, there is sufficient content to continue with review and
drafting of your permit. The following items should be addressed:
1. Your stormwatcr management report discusses in detail the University's stormwater plan for -
the main campus at UNC-Chapel Hill. Does UNC-Chapel Hill have jurisdiction over any other
areas (research facilities, satellite calTIpus, etc.) that might need to be addressed in the plan?
2. In section 7.5.4, it is stated that `The University has made it a policy to have no increase in
volume, rate or pollutant load from any construction project on our main campus." Please
elaborate on how you will address fulfilling the requirements of the above statement for nutrients
draining to NSW waters.
Please revise Section 7 of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Stormwatcr
Management Program Report with the additional information requested and send a copy of the
Updated section to my attention so that I may update the copy of the Program Report that the
Division has reviewed.
Please provide the requested information by Friday, lily 2, 2004. If you feel you need more time
to respond to these concerns, just let me know. Please contact me with any questions about this
request at (919) 733-5083, ext. 537.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Diggs
