The subdivision is subject to the requirements of Chapter 47F, aka the Planned Community Act. 2. A completed and signed Permit Transfer Application; 3. A copy of the recorded deed conveying any common areas of the subdivision to the Association; 4. A determination by the Division that the project is in compliance with the permit. This determination must be made in writing no more than 90 days prior to the transfer. Documents that the permittee needs to submit in order for the Division to make that determination of compliance include: a. A copy of the designer's certification for any permitted BMP's; b. A copy of the recorded deed restrictions limiting the BUA on each lot; c. Verification that the permitted maximum built -upon area per lot has not been exceeded; d. A copy of the recorded subdivision plat documenting the number of lots and the locations of all required drainage and maintenance access easements as depicted on the approved plans; e. Verification that more than 50% of the lots have been conveyed to individuals (not builders). The Division is hereby notifying you that the requirements of SL 2011-256 have been met and that permit SW8 030404 has been transferred on July 23, 2019 and to remind you that this permit shall be effective until July 10, 2025.

After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the infiltration system for erosion, trash accumulation, vegetative cover, and general condition. 2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow vegetated cover to maintain a maximum height of six -inches, and remove trash as needed. 3. After every ruiioffproducing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved design specifications. 4. Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavation may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. When the design depth reads 3. 5q feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall be removed from both the pretreatment unit and the inidtration basin. 5. If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed.

Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavation may cause the required water table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed. Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream, etc.). A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments. When the design depth reads 2, 14 feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall be removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin. 5. If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed. I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the five maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to the system or responsible party. Print Name and Title: Benjamin J. Quattlebaum, II, Executive Director Address: P.O.
