Thank you for the prompt, and detailed, response.
Do you have any estimated timeframe for:
1. Issuance of DEMLR's intent letter, requiring a 10-day response from the permittee? and
2. In the absence of receipt of the written response and plan of action from the permittee within such
period, the referral to the AG for commencement of an enforcement action?
While your response certainly gives more detailed direction than my client previously had, I am still hoping that
it might be possible to meet with you or your staff in the near future to also discuss additional potential
alternatives of interest to the Association.
Thank you.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Cook:
On July 13, 2017, Wilmington Regional Office staff of the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources (DEMLR) performed a Compliance Inspection of the subject projects, located off NC 50 at
Azalea Drive outside of Holly Ridge, in Onslow County, North Carolina. The compliance inspection
reports were sent to Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC under one cover letter dated October 20, 2017,
and required a response by December 20, 2017. To date, the Division has received no response to the
inspection reports and complaints about the system continue to be called in by the residents.
The projects listed above have been found in violation of their respective Stormwater Management
Permits, issued pursuant to the requirements of the Stormwater rules, I SA NCAC 2H.1000 and in
accordance with NCGS 143-214.7.
The violations found for Permit No. SW8 050213 (Phase 1), issued on March 3, 2005, are:
Failure to Operate and Maintain the Stormwater System. Per Schedule of Compliance
Condition II.10 of the Permit, the Permittee shall provide the operation and maintenance
necessary to assure the permitted stormwater system functions at optimum efficiency:
a. The four permitted bio-retention basins need to be planted and maintained with the
wetland plants shown on the approved plans and specifications.
b. All of the bio-retention basins must be operated such that they draw down within 5 days.
Basin #4 appears to be holding water.
2. Failure to Certify the Stormwater stem. Per Schedule of Compliance Condition II.9 of the
Permit, upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and
prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be received from an appropriate
designer for the system installed certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting
documentation. Any deviations from the approved plans and'specifications must be noted on
the Certification. The Division issued a plan revision approval letter dated May 20, 2016, which
approved of the use of four inches of #57 stone laid over a geotextile fabric for the gravel boat
storage area. The Division requires certification from the designer that the boat storage area has
been completed in accordance with the approved plans and specs.

3. Failure to Verzb Built -Upon Area. Per Schedule of Compliance Condition II.2 of the Permit, the
permittee is required to verify that no lot has exceeded the maximum BUA limit of 2800 square
feet. The BUA limits were erroneously recorded as 3800 square feet per lot. The BUA limit was
corrected 13 months later. The permittee has not provided the necessary information to ensure
that the lots conveyed during that 13 month period have not exceeded 2800 sf.
The violations found for Permit No. SW8 050842 (Phase 2), issued on May 26, 2006, are:
Failure to Operate and Maintain the Stormwater System. Per Schedule of Compliance
Condition 1I.9 of the Permit, the Permittee shall provide the operation and maintenance
necessary to assure the permitted stormwater system functions at optimum efficiency:
a. The infiltration basin is holding water;
b. The side slopes of the basin were exhibiting signs of slumping;
c. The piped and vegetated runoff conveyance systems need to be maintained regularly to
remove accumulated sediment and trash, to repair eroded areas and to maintain a dense
vegetated cover.
d. Pumps and bypasses must be maintained to design conditions. In order for the stormwater
system to treat runoff, the pumps must be able to pump the design storm runoff volume
from the storage pond into the infiltration area. The bypass structure must be maintained
such that the volume in excess of the design storm is directed into the existing wetlands
via the overflow weir, as designed.
Failure to Certify the Stormwater System. Per Schedule of Compliance Condition II.8 of the
Permit,. upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and
prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be received from an appropriate
designer for the system installed certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting
documentation. Any deviations from the approved plans and specifications must be noted on
the Certification.
The violations found for Permit No. SW8 070649 (Phase 3) issued on February 8, 2008, are:
1. Failure to Submit for a Permit Modification. Per Schedule of Compliance Condition II.4 of the
permit, the permittee shall submit to the Director and shall have received approval for revised
plans, specifications, and calculations prior to construction, for any modification to the
approved plans. The layout of the streets and lots in Phase 3 Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 has been
revised without benefit of a review or approval by the Division.
2. Failure to Operate and Maintain the Stormwater System. Per Schedule of Compliance
Condition 1I.9 of the Permit, the Permittee shall provide the operation and maintenance
necessary to assure the permitted stormwater system functions at optimum efficiency:
a. The piped and vegetated runoff conveyance systems need to be maintained regularly to
remove accumulated sediment and trash, to repair eroded areas and to maintain a dense
vegetated cover;
b. Pumps and bypasses must be maintained to design conditions. In order for the stormwater
system to treat runoff, the pumps must be able to pump the design storm runoff volume
from the storage pond into the infiltration area. The bypass structure must be maintained
such that the volume in excess of the design storm is directed into the existing wetlands
via the overflow weir, as designed.
Failure to Certify the Stormwater stem. Per Schedule of Compliance Condition II.8 of the
Permit, upon completion of construction, prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, and
prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be received from an appropriate
designer for the system installed certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting
documentation. Any deviations from the approved plans and specifications must be noted on
the Certification.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Cook:
TRACY DAVIS
Director
Effective August 1, 2013, the State Stormwater program was transferred from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR). All previous
references to DWQ will remain in older stormwater permits issued prior to August 1, 2013 until they are
modified. Please note that this letter references DEMLR as the Division responsible for issuance of the
permit.
On July 8, 2017, the Division received an emailed complaint from the vice-president of the
Neighborhoods at Holly Ridge Homeowners Association, alleging some on -going maintenance issues
with the permitted stormwater management system. On July 13, 2017, the Wilmington Regional Office of
the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) inspected all three phases of the
Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, located off NC 50 near Holly Ridge in Onslow County to determine the
status of compliance with the three State Stormwater Management Permits, SW8 050213, SW8 050842
and SW8 070649. DEMLR file review and site inspection revealed that all three phases of the project are
not in compliance with the terms and conditions of their respective permit. Please find a copy of the
completed "Compliance Inspection Report" for each phase of the subdivision, attached to this letter. A
summary of the fmdings for each inspection are listed below by Phase. Please note that many of the
deficiencies identified below are unresolved issues carried over from the October 2014 inspection reports
for these projects.
SW8 050213 Phase 1 issued March 3, 2005 (expires March 3, 2019)
1. The lots that were conveyed prior to the BUA correction from 3800 sf to 2800 sf need to be
reviewed for compliance with the 2800 sf limit. There was a 13-month lapse between the time of
the original incorrect recording (February 23, 2006 DB 2605 at PG 459) and the third amendment
correcting the error (March 30, 2007 DB 2846 PG 295). The permittee has still not provided any
verification whether the lots that were conveyed during that 13-month time frame under the
incorrect BUA limit have met the correct 2800 sf BUA limit.
2. The gravel in the boat storage area was approved to be replaced with four inches of 457 stone laid
over a geotextile fabric on May 20, 2016. The Division requires certification from the designer
that the work has been completed in accordance with the approved plans.
3. The four permitted bio-retention basins need to be maintained to design condition. All of the
basins must be planted and maintained with the wetlands plants shown on the approved plans. All
of the basins must be operated and maintained to draw down within 5 days. However, the large
basin 44 appears to be holding water.
4. The permit has not been transferred to the HOA.

SW8 050842 Phase 2 issued May 26, 2006 (expires May 26, 2020)
1. The required Designer Certification has not been submitted.
2. The infiltration basin needs to be maintained to restore it to design condition. The basin is holding
water and side slopes were sloughing into the basin.
3. The piped and vegetated runoff conveyance system needs to be maintained regularly to remove
accumulated sediment and trash, to repair eroded areas, and maintain a stable vegetated cover.
The design storm must be adequately conveyed to the storage basins.
4. Pumps and bypasses must be maintained to design condition. Pumps must be operational and the
bypass structures must allow excess runoff volume to bypass the system to the existing wetlands
via the overflow, weir in the bypass structure.
5. Please verify that any lots sold between the plat record date of October 2006 and the declaration
record date of March 30, 2007, are in compliance with the 4500 sf BUA limit.
6. The permit has not been transferred to the HOA.
SW8 070649 Phase 3 issued February 8, 2008 (expires December 31, 2021)
1. The required Designer Certification has not been submitted.
2. The layout of the streets and lots in Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 has been revised without prior
approval from the Division. Please submit a permit modification and revised plans to the Division
reflecting these changes and verify that the BUA within each permitted drainage area has not
increased beyond the current permitted maximum BUA for that drainage area.
3. The piped and vegetated runoff conveyance system needs to be maintained regularly to remove
accumulated sediment and trash, to repair eroded areas, and maintain a stable vegetated cover.
The design storm must be adequately conveyed to the storage basins.
4. Pumps and bypasses must be maintained to design condition. Pumps must be operational and the
bypass structures must allow excess runoff volume to bypass the system to the vegetated filters
via the overflow weir in the bypass structure.
5. A permit number error has been recorded with the original declaration and has been carried
through all the subsequent amendments. This recording error needs to be fixed.
Please be reminded that the permit does NOT automatically transfer upon the conveyance of common
area property to the HOA. It is your responsibility as the permittee of record to submit a completed and
signed Permit Transfer Application Form and $505.00 fee for each requested transfer, to the Division of
Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 30-60 calendar days prior to making any of the below listed
changes. This form is available on our website at: littps://deq.ne.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-land-
resources/energy-mirtera I-land-rules/stormwa.ter-pro Crain/post-construction.
a. An ownership change including the sale or conveyance of the permitted project area in whole or
in part. This does not include the conveyance of subdivided residential lots to individuals which
are made subject to a recorded declaration of covenants and restrictions which contain the
statements required by the stormwater permit;
b. The sale or conveyance of the common areas to a Homeowner's or Property Owner's
Association, subject to the requirements of Session Law 2011-256;
c. Foreclosure proceedings;
d. Bankruptcy;
e. Dissolution of the partnership or corporate entity. Per NCGS 57D-6-07, a dissolved LLC shall
wind up, which may include continuing the business of the LLC for a period of time. The person
charged with winding up the LLC shall collect the LLC's assets [which include the stormwater
management permit], and distribute the assets as provided in NCGS 57D-6-08(2).
Please be advised that until you submit the required Permit Transfer Application Form to the Division and
receive approval from the Division to transfer the permit, you are required to comply with the terms,
conditions and limitations of the Stormwater Management Permit under Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 2H .1003 and North Carolina General Statute 143-214.7, including the limitation of
built -upon area on each lot and the operation and maintenance of the permitted stormwater system.

Inspection Summary:
The Division received a complaint from the Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Homeowners Association vice president, Kelly
Collins on July 8, 2017 and inspected the project on July 13, 2017. The following compliance issues were noted during
the inspection:
1. The required designers certification has not been submitted
2. The Sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 have undergone a street and lot layout change that was not approved by the Division prior
to construction. The permittee must submit revised plans to reflect the changes and must verify that the BUA within each
drainage area has not increased beyond the current permitted maximum for that drainage area. The permit will need to

3. The pumps that'pump runoff from the storage basins up to the infiltration basins were not operating at the time of the
inspection. The piped and vegetated runoff collection system, the storage basins, pumps, bypasses, infiltration areas
and vegetated filters must all be constructed, operated and maintained at design condition.
4. A permit number error has been recorded with the original declaration for this Phase and has been repeated on all the
subsequent amendments. This recording error needs to be corrected.
5. The maximum BUA limit for the lots in Phase 3 is 4200 sf. Prior to transferring the permit to the HOA, the permittee
must provide documentation that no lot has exceeded this maximum amount.

RE. The Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Owners Association; State Stormwater
Management Systems Permit Numbers SW8-050213, SW8-050842, and SW8-070649
Dear Linda,
I hope this letter finds you doing well.
I represent the Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Owners Association (the "Association").
The purpose of this letter is to request NCDEQ to (1) enforce the requirements for
Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC (the "Permit Holder") to inspect and maintain the
stormwater system in accordance with State Stormwater Management Systems Permit Numbers
SW8-050213, SW8-050842, and SW8-070649 (the "Permits"); and (2) take into consideration
the inspection report of the Association's engineer prior to approving the transfer of the Permits
to the Association. A more detailed explanation follows.
Pursuant to the email from Kelly Collins to you on July 8, 2017, the Permit Holder has
failed to inspect and maintain the stormwater sysem as required by the Permits. Specifically, the
Permit Holder has failed to inspect and repair the eroded areas, reapply mulch or re -mulch void
areas, mow and revegetate basin areas, repair the pumps, maintain and restore the side slopes of
basin areas, and remove debris from structures, orifices, catch basins, and piping. Some of these
violations, such as the need to maintain and restore the slopes of Pump Basin B and verify the
functioning of the pump system for Pump Basin B, have been in place since October 16, 2014,
when NCDEQ (then NCDELR) sent its "Notice of Inspection — Non Compliant ..." letters to the
Permit Holder.
Based on those October 16, 2014 letters, the Permit Holder's failure to remedy the
violations could subject it to civil penalties of up to Twenty Five Thousand dollars ($25,000.00)
PRACTICE AREAS
Business Law / Civil Litigation / Elder Law / Estate Administration
Estate Planning / Family Law / Juvenile Law / Legal Guardianship
Municipal Law / Real Property Law

per day per violation. It is the Association's understanding that, as of the date of this letter, all
the Permits are in noncompliant status, and that NCDEQ has not imposed any civil penalties
against the Permit Holder for the numerous violations.
The Association respectfully requests that NCDEQ require the Permit Holder to promptly
and consistently perform the necessary inspections, maintenance, and repairs to the stormwater
system in accordance with the Permits. If the Permit Holder fails to fully comply with the
requirements of the Permits, the Association requests NCDEQ take enforcement action against
the Permit Holder pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143-214.7.
Due to the Permit Holder's continuous violations of the Permits, the Association is
concerned the Permit Holder will fail to bring the stormwater system into substantial compliance
per N.C.G.S. § 143-214.7(c2) before transferring the Permits to the Association. If NCDEQ
allows this to happen, the Association would have no choice but to enact a special assessment to
cover the costs of bringing the stormwater system into compliance with the Permits. To help
avoid this financial burden befalling its residents, the Association respectfully requests that, prior
to authorizing the transfer of the Permits, NCDEQ consider the report of the Association's
engineer in determining whether the stormwater system is in substantial compliance with the
Permits.
The Association is primarily concerned with protecting the welfare of its residents, and
not with punishing the Permit Holder. Nonetheless, after years of the Permit Holder failing to
inspect, maintain, and repair the stormwater system, it appears that NCDEQ enforcement action
is the only way to motivate the Permit Holder to comply with the requirements of the Permits.
Please contact me by September 22, 2017 to confirm (1) the actions NCDEQ will take to
enforce the Permit Holder's compliance with the Permits; and (2) NCDEQ's willingness to
review the Association's engineering report prior to transfer of the Permits.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Your prompt attention to this
matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
CRAIGE & FOX, PLLC

Subject: RE: Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Storm Water System
Mr./Ms. Collins:
Thank you for contacting the Division regarding the situation at The Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge.
Mr. Cook changed his mailing address and neglected to inform us, but we were able to locate him at
a new address in Leland.
The project was inspected by both Sediment program staff and Stormwater program staff on
Thursday July 13: 2017 and vve w0l be contacting Mr. Cook regarding the on -going compliance issues
that we. observed.
We did not have the equipment to determine if any pipes were blocked, but your allegation of blocked
pipes under Belvedere Drive will be included in the inspection report. If the streets are maintained by
the N.CDOT, you should contact the local GOT maintenance office to let them I:now about the
pottendal blockage. If thre pipe is within theii right-of-way, they may be able to remove the blockage.
Any activities undertaken by the residents that have resulted in the deposition of sediment into the
large drainage ditch in Phase 2 should be resolved and addressed by those residents and/or by the
HOA. The sediment should be removed, and the slopes of the ditch should be stabilized with
vegetation.
We observed that none of the 4 stormwater pumps in Phase 3 appeared to be operating at the time of
the inspection. Both of the approved infiltration areas in Phase 3 appeared to be completely dry
despite a couple inches of rainfall on Monday, July 11, 2017 in the Holiy Midge area of Onslow
County.
The infiltration area for Phase 2 was observed to have some vegetation and standing water, however,
1' the vegetation is not out of control, and the standing water has 5 days to completely infiltrate. If it
does not rain today or Saturday, this runoff should be completely drawn down by the end of the day
on Saturday. If it does not, please advise.
Please be advised that the stormwater system is only required to handle a 1" rainfall event. The
system is not required to handle heavy or sustained rain events that exceed this amount. While
flooding is not a violation of the stormwater permit, routine maintenance of the stormwater collection
and treatment systems and the pumps, as required by the ;permit, may help alleviate some flooding.
We will be advising Mr. Cook that the stormwater permits for this subdivision still remain in the name
of Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC, and that upon the restoration of the site to a compliant
condition and upon meeting the requirements of SL 2011-256, the Division will accept a request to
transfer the permit to The Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Owners Association, Inc. Both of these
entities are currently listed as "Active' with the NCSOS.

Subject: Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Storm Water System
To whom it may concern -
On or around October 1, 2014, the storm water system for the Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge were inspected for
compliance with various permits issued to the developer, Scott Cook (Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC.).
Several areas of non-compliance were noted in the report and Mr. Cook was notified of the findings on or
around October, 16 2014.
On or around November 12, 2014 the managing agent for the Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge Homeowners
Association, Kyle Priestley, reached out to Ms. Linda Lewis regarding the maintenance of the Storm water
system. The HOA was informed that:
"This permit is still currently in the developers name and has not been transferred to the HOA, so the permittee
is responsible for dealing with these maintenance issues. Once everything is in compliance, then we can look at
accepting the paperwork to transfer the permit to the HOA under the requirements of SL 2411-256."
Since that time, the permit holder has failed to maintain various components of the storm water system
including, but not limited to, the pumps, swales, infiltration basins, retention ponds, and catch basins. This lack
of maintenance has led to several issues in the neighborhood, but the issue of greatest and most pressing
concern is the drainage swale that runs southwest between the 200 block of Belvedere drive and the 300 blocks
of Rose Bud Ln that joins the 200 block of Red Carnation Dr:

concern is the drainage swale that runs southwest between the 200 block of Belvedere drive and the 300 blocks
of Rose Bud Ln that joins the 200 block of Red Carnation Dr:

Sediment and vegetation have filled the drainage area. There are two pipes that carry water under Belvedere Dr
that are clogged with sediment and vegetation the pipe on the southwest side is blocked so that water cannot
pass and sediment is already collecting in the collar of the pipe on the northeast side. During periods of heavy or
sustained rain, this blockage is causing water to back up and pool on the northwest side of Belvedere Dr and the
bank of the drainage area is now collapsing:

The impediment to drainage is also causing water to backup along the entire length of the swale and, in the most
extreme periods of rain, the back yards in the 300 block of Rose Bud Ln. are flooding:
3

In reaction to the flooding, residents have improperly (and without permits or permission) re -graded the berm
on either side of the swale and planted large trees in the swale area. By scalping the southwest bank to build up
the northeast bank, they have caused increased erosion of sediment into the waterway:

The northern infiltration basin adjacent to this waterway is filled with vegetation that prevents drainage. There
is standing water in the basin and numerous trees growing on the sides and dam for this area. We have sent
multiple requests to Mr. Cook to remedy these issues with no response. We are asking that, at minimum, this
area is re -inspected and would like to see action taken to correct and repair this drainage area.
I appreciate your time and prompt response to address these issues,

Linda,
In response to your October 30th letter, I think the most prudent course of action is to pursue the option of replacing the
existing stone surface with a #57 stone surface meeting the criteria set forth in SL-2015-149. Your letter implies that the
drive isle would be considered impervious despite there being no such stipulation in the session law. I presume your
reasoning for considering the drive isle to be impervious in spite of the session law is the belief that vehicular traffic
would break down the stone and/or compact the underlying soil. While this line of thought might hold true at a higher
volume parking facility, the boat storage facility may see 5 vehicle trips per day during summer weekends and perhaps 5
trips on the other days of the week combined. This time of year, I doubt the access road sees 5 trips in a month.
I am meeting with the permittee next Monday to discuss this matter and will confirm that this is the preferred
strategy. If you have any further insight into your interpretation of SL-2015-149 that you could relay to me, it would be
most helpful as I revise the plans.
Some of the comments specifically pertaining to the permeable pavement used for infiltration/detention BMP may be
rendered NA. I will address these as appropriate pending your response.
Regarding comment 3.b, it is my intent to add the 2005 supplement package to the current modification.
Thank you and enjoy your holiday week/weekend.

Please read Chapter 18 of the BMP Manual in its entirety for information on the soils information and the design
requirements for permeable pavement. The testing you specify to obtain the soils information you need to demonstrate
that the existing gravel meets the permeable pavement design requirements is for you to decide.
If you don't need to claim a BUA credit, then you should design the pavement for Detention using a 1.5" storm with a
bypass designed to convey the 10 year 24 hour storm.

If you need to claim BUA credit, then you must design the pavement for Infiltration.

I've discussed your 6/17 letter (attached) with the permittee and would like to proceed with testing necessary to
substantiate the use of the aggregate boat parking area as a permeable pavement used for infiltration. The test data
that I would require is 1) typical depth, gradation and void ratio of insitu aggregate; 2) infiltration rates of the aggregate
and subgrade; and 3) SHWT determination. Please let me know if you have any specific concerns that I need to evaluate
at this point as I am trying to develop a request for proposals to get this testing done. Also, I would ask that you please
confirm the appropriate design depth for this modification. We used 1.5" for the other infiltration devices within the
project.

Subject: Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge
Hey Luke- just wanted to bring your attention to a few concerns that I saw with the documents you submitted on April 1,
2015 regarding the issues at the 3 projects for the Neighborhoods at Holly Ridge under SW8 050213, SW8 050842 and
SW8 070649. Before we will transfer the permit to the HOA, these issues will need to be resolved:
Comments regarding Phase I under SW8 050213:
1. 1 noticed that there is a lapse of over 13 months (Feb. 23 , 2006 through March 30, 2007) between the originally
recorded deed restrictions which assigned 3800 sf to each Phase I lot and the amendment which restored the
BUA limit for the Phase I lots to the permitted 2800 sf. My concern is how many lots in Phase I were sold under
the 3800 restriction, and did those lot owners consent to having their BUA limit reduced?
2. Did the developer make sure that any of those lots described above which were sold under the 3800 sf limit,
were actually in compliance with the 2800 sf limit at the time the amendment was filed?
3. Per Google Earth, the gravel in the boat storage area was already in place as of October 2008. At that time,
gravel was considered a built -upon area. As such, you will need to modify the permit to account for that
additional BUA and propose a suitable high density BMP that will treat the runoff, or modify the permitted BMP
to accept that additional drainage.
4. The plans provided for the boat storage area need to be more detailed to include dimensions, grading, gravel
pavement section details (including stone depth, geomembrane liner, type of stone used) and the BMP details.
Comments regarding Phase 11 under SW8 050842:

1. The Amenity Area site plan needs to show the proposed (now existing) grading and drainage to verify that the
runoff is draining into the appropriate permitted BMP.
Comments regarding SW8 070649:
1. The recorded deed restrictions consistently refer to an erroneous permit number of SW8 07064." The correct
permit number is SW8 070649. Somehow, beginning with the Seventh Amendment which annexed Phase III and
continuing with each subsequent amendment pulling in the various Sections within Phase III, the "9" has been
consistently omitted from the end of the permit number. It is imperative that the correct permit number be
referenced in these documents. The developer will need to record an amendment to correct this error.
Is everything on track with the construction and remediation work that needs to be done? It's supposed to be starting
soon, now that weather is warmer, right? Please let me know when the remediation work will begin. I've got other
inspections in Onslow County, and can include NHR in my tour.
If you will kindly forward this email to Mr. Cook- his mailing address has apparently changed and mail sent to 106A
Cinema Drive in Wilmington, is being returned as undeliverable. Please verify if we can send mail to Mr. Cook at 1105
New Pointe Blvd. Suite 6, Leland, NC 28451. If that is his new mailing address, we would appreciate confirmation via
completion and submission of the attached permit update form.
Please respond to these comments by June 28, 2015.
Thank you.

Per our discussion, I have attached my letter which seeks to address the boat storage area in phase 1. The definition I
refer to is:
15A NCAC 02H .1002 DEFINITIONS The definition of any word or phrase in this Section shall be the same as given in
Article 21, Chapter 143 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, as amended. Other words and phrases used in this
Section are defined as follows:
(1) "Built -upon Area" means impervious surface and partially impervious surface to the extent that the partially
impervious surface does not allow water to infiltrate through the surface and into the subsoil. "Built -upon area" does
not include a slatted deck or the water area of a swimming pool.
Based on this definition, only those partially impervious surfaces which do not allow water to infiltrate through the
surface and into the subsoil could be classified as Built -upon area. Field observation has confirmed that water readily
infiltrates through the aggregate in question.
You brought up the option of utilizing the void space in the aggregate as a means to store and infiltrate the water. This
is what is occurring in practice. However I suspect that the underlying soils would not qualify for an infiltration BMP, I
would suggest that the overlaying aggregate does not worsen this condition. To the contrary, aggregate acts to detain
water and dissipate energy when placed over a less permeable surface. This concept is no different than the action of
dense stand grass on a compacted berm.
What I am saying is that my opinion, based on my observations, is that this parking area meets the letter and intent of
the definition. If the aggregate were removed, there would be more ponding and runoff than what is occurring now
because the aggregate is the less restrictive of the upper two layers.

Hey Luke- just wanted to bring your attention to a few concerns that I saw with the documents you submitted on April 1,
2015 regarding the issues at the 3 projects for the Neighborhoods at Holly Ridge under SW8 050213, SW8 050842 and
SW8 070649. Before we will transfer the permit to the HOA, these issues will need to be resolved:
Comments regarding Phase I under SW8 050213:
1. 1 noticed that there is a lapse of over 13 months (Feb. 23 , 2006 through March 30, 2007) between the originally
recorded deed restrictions which assigned 3800 sf to each Phase I lot and the amendment which restored the
BUA limit for the Phase I lots to the permitted 2800 sf. My concern is how many lots in Phase I were sold under
the 3800 restriction, and did those lot owners consent to having their BUA limit reduced?
2. Did the developer make sure that any of those lots described above which were sold under the 3800 sf limit,
were actually in compliance with the 2800 sf limit at the time the amendment was filed?
3. Per Google Earth, the gravel in the boat storage area was already in place as of October 2008. At that time,
gravel was considered a built -upon area. As such, you will need to modify the permit to account for that
additional BUA and propose a suitable high density BMP that will treat the runoff, or modify the permitted BMP
to accept that additional drainage.
4. The plans provided for the boat storage area need to be more detailed to include dimensions, grading, gravel
pavement section details (including stone depth, geomembrane liner, type of stone used) and the BMP details.
Comments regarding Phase II under SW8 050842:
1. The Amenity Area site plan needs to show the proposed (now existing) grading and drainage to verify that the
runoff is draining into the appropriate permitted BMP.
Comments regarding SW8 070649:
1. The recorded deed restrictions consistently refer to an erroneous permit number of SW8 07064." The correct
permit number is SW8 070649. Somehow, beginning with the Seventh Amendment which annexed Phase III and
continuing with each subsequent amendment pulling in the various Sections within Phase III, the "9" has been
consistently omitted from the end of the permit number. It is imperative that the correct permit number be
referenced in these documents. The developer will need to record an amendment to correct this error.
Is everything on track with the construction and remediation work that needs to be done? It's supposed to be starting
soon, now that weather is warmer, right? Please let me know when the remediation work will begin. I've got other
inspections in Onslow County, and can include NHR in my tour.
If you will kindly forward this email to Mr. Cook- his mailing address has apparently changed and mail sent to 106A
Cinema Drive in Wilmington, is being returned as undeliverable. Please verify if we can send mail to Mr. Cook at 1105
New Pointe Blvd. Suite 6, Leland, NC 28451. If that is his new mailing address, we would appreciate confirmation via
completion and submission of the attached permit update form.
Please respond to these comments by June 28, 2015.
Thank you.

Update on Gravel Legislation and Rulemaking
11112015
Senate Bill 734 was signed into law on September 18, 2014 and is now Session Law 2014-120.
Section 45 pertains to gravel. In brief, the session law amended the definition of "built -upon area"
in NCGS 143-214.7 such that "gravel" was no longer exempted from being considered "built -upon
area." The bill also prohibited the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) from defining
the term "gravel" in the context of its stormwater programs. Subsequent to the passage of this
legislation, the EMC adopted permanent changes to Rule 15A NCAC 2H .1002 (Definitions),
incorporating the revisions required by SL 2014-120.
The definition of "built -upon area" that state stormwater programs are now operating under is:
"Built -upon area" means impervious surface and partially impervious surface to the extent that
the partially impervious surface does not allow water to infiltrate through the surface and into
the subsoil. `Built -upon area" does not include a slatted deck or the water area of a swimming
pool.
Here's a review of gravel's journey through law and rule in NC:
• August 23, 2013 -- SL 2013-413 amended NCGS
143-214.7 (stormwater programs), removing "gravel"
from the definition of "built -upon area." DENR
began implementing the definition of "built -upon
area" as revised by SL 2013-413.
• March 28, 2014 -- In response to SL 2013-413, the
EMC passed a temporary amendment to Rule 15A
NCAC 2H .1002 (stormwater definitions), defining
the term "gravel." DENR began implementing the
definition of "gravel" as written in the temporary rule.
The definition of "built -upon area" in
NCGS 143-214.7 applies to all the
state's stormwater programs, including:
0 Water Supply Watershed;
0 NPDES Phase 2 Stormwater;
0 Coastal Stormwater; and
0 USMP.
• September 18, 2014 -- SL 2014-120 amended NCGS 143-214.7 such that gravel was no
longer exempted from being considered "built -upon area." DENR began implementing the
definition of "built -upon area" as revised by SL 2014-120 and stopped implementing the
definition of "gravel."

• January 1, 2015 — The EMC's permanent rule 15A NCAC 2H .1002 was adopted to
replace the temporary rule. It incorporates the revisions required by SL 2014-120. Refer to
15A NCAC 2H .1002 for the current definition of "built -upon area."
• Local governments who have delegated stormwater programs such as Phase 2IWater Supply
do not need to take any action as a result of these legislative actions or rulemakings unless
your ordinance currently exempts gravel from built -upon area.
• Note that this statute and associated rule (15A NCAC 2H .1002) apply only to stormwater
programs. They do not affect laws and rules relating to forestry or agriculture operations or
sediment and erosion control programs.

Re: The Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, Phase 3

Dear Linda,
I am writing on behalf of the permittee, Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC, to address concerns raised in
your letter dated 10/16/2014 regarding the maintenance and operation of storage and infiltration basins in phase 3.
Of primary concern is the ability of infiltration basin #2 to receive flow from storage basins C and D. The
infiltration basin in question appears to have been maintained impeccably. I did not observe the deposition of
sediment that I expected to find and, therefore, I do not think that excavating the top layer of the basin will yield
much improvement. I have reviewed the pump calculations and found that water is being pumped from storage basin
C at a rate exceeding 100 GPM. The rate necessary to dewater basin C in 5 days is 54 GPM. I believe that reducing
the pump rate accordingly will result in the basin infiltrating the design storm without overtopping the berm. I have
coordinated a pump test with the permittee and will report on these findings. The intent is to conduct this test while
the contractor is onsite making other repairs.
The regrading and vegetating of basin side slopes will commence once soil temperatures are more favorable
for permanent seeding.
Thank you for your patience as we work towards bringing this site into compliance. Please let me know if
you have any further questions or concerns. `

Dear Linda,
I am writing on behalf of the permittee, Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge, LLC, to propose a plan of action to
address concerns raised in your letter dated 1011612014. 1 have reviewed your field report and met with the
permittee to further discuss the situation.
1. ,Submit a designer's certification. We will survey the existing system and conduct a field inspection to
verify the project was built in accordance with the approved plans. This survey work will be coordinated with efforts
to resolve permit deficiencies in adjoining phases and I will make every effort to submit the certification by April 1',
2015.
2. Submit a copy of the recorded deed restrictions. It is my understanding that the necessary restrictions
are on record with the ODSIOw County Registrar of Deeds. I will recover these and include them in the proposed
April I'`, 2015 submittal.
3. Repair and properly maintain the slopes ofPzrmp Basin B. This area will be evaluated during the
aforementioned field inspection and more specific plan of action will be formulated to address this or any other
necessary BMP repairs. If applicable, repairs requiring heavy machinery will coincide with repairs to other phases
of the project —likely during the summer of 2015. The permittee has been advised that the installation of temporary
measures such as silt fence or straw matting would be prudent during the interim.
4. Verb proper f rnctioning of Pump Basin A This pump system will be evaluated during the
aforementioned field inspection. If necessary, a more specific plan of action will be formulated to address BMP
repairs. If applicable, repairs requiring heavy machinery will coincide with repairs to other phases of the project —
likely during the summer of 2015. Necessary repairs that are typical of routine pump maintenance will be addressed
prior to the issuance of my certification.
Please note that the project is substantially complete and all parties are motivated to see the permit
conveyed to the HOA once the noted deficiencies are resolved. Therefore, it is our intention to see this plan of
action through to completion without undue delay. Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Dear Mr. Cook:
John E. Skvarla,
Secretary
Effective August 1, 2013 the State Stormwater program was transferred from the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR). All previous
references to DWQ will remain in older stormwater permits issued prior to August 1, 2013 until they are
modified. Please note that this letter now references DEMLR as the Division responsible for issuance
of the subject permit.
On August 5, 2009, the Governor signed Session Law 2009-406. This law impacted any development
approval issued by the former Division of Water Quality under Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General
Statutes, which was current and valid at any point between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2010.
The law extended the effective period of any stormwater permit that was set to expire during this time
frame to three (3) years from its current expiration date. On August 2, 2010, the Governor signed
Session Law 2010-177, which granted an extra year for a total of up to four (4) years extension.
Accordingly, the permit, which was set to expire on February 8, 2018, shall now be effective from the
date of issuance until December 31, 2021, which includes all available extensions. The project remains
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified in the permit issued on February 8, 2008 which
remains in force and effect.
On October 1, 2014, the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land
Resources (DEMLR) inspected Phase III of The Neighborhoods of Holly Ridge in Onslow County to
determine the status of compliance with the State Stormwater Management Permit Number SW8
070649. DEMLR file review and site inspection revealed that this project is not in compliance with the
terms and conditions of the permit. Please find a copy of the completed form entitled "Compliance
Inspection Report" attached to this letter, which summarizes the findings of the recent inspection for the
subject project.
As indicated in the attached inspection report the following deficiencies must be resolved:
1. Submit the Designer's Certification for the system
2. Submit a copy of the recorded deed restrictions.
3. Maintain and restore the slopes of Pump Basin B.
4. Verify proper functioning of the pump system for Pump Basin B.
Please inform this Office in writing before November 16, 2014, of the specific actions that will be
undertaken and the time frame that will be required to correct the deficiencies. Failure to provide the
requested information, or to respond to this letter by the due date, may initiate enforcement action
including the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If a written plan of action is not
submitted to this office by November 16, 2014 then DEMLR staff will re -inspect the site and issue a
Notice of Violation if the listed deficiencies have not been addressed.
