The letter was sent to the mailing address provided on your 2001 permit application, but was returned as undeliverable. The inspection was performed to determine the status of compliance with Stormwater Permit Number SW8 001019, issued to you on January 29, 2001. The project has been found in violation of Stormwater Permit Number SW8 001019, issued pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1000. The violations found are: 1. Failure to certify the stormwaters sy tem. Schedule of Compliance Condition 11.7 states that 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. 2. Failure to provide notification to the Director for a name change of the permittee.
