Division of Water Quality Department of Environment and Natural Resources 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: Beachwalk @ Kure Beach Subdivision Transfer of Stormwater Permit 960158 Dear Linda: As we discussed by telephone, Beachwalk Homeowners Association and Robert Weinbach have reached an agreement, whereby the Association will accept transfer of Stormwater Permit 960158, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in a settlement agreement to be executed by the parties, and subject to your approval of the permit transfer. It is my understanding that in order for the transfer to be approved, both Mr. Weinbach, as the current permit holder, and the Association, as the proposed transferee of the permit, must sign the "Water Quality Section Permit Name/Ownership Change Form", Form Number SWU-239-080102, and that the Association must sign the "Wet Detention Basin Supplement", Form Number SWU 102. The "Wet Detention Basin Supplement" includes a section entitled "Required Items Checklist", and calls for the applicant's initials to indicate that various design requirements have been met, or if a requirement has not been met, an explanation of the justification therefore. As you know, information provided to the Association indicates that the stormwater system is not currently in compliance with the permitted design criteria. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, and subject to your approval, the Association has agreed to accept transfer of the permit, and all obligations that go with it, without requiring Mr. Wembach to first bring the stormwater system into compliance. As such, the Association cannot currently represent .on the Wet. Detention Pond Supplement that the design requirements have been met. However, upon acceptance of the permit, the Association. will accept responsibility for compliance with DWQ's rulesand regulations. Also, it is my understanding that the permit will remain valid for a period of ten years from the date of transfer of the permit to the Association. Ms. Linda Lewis March 26, 2004 Page 2 of 2 Please confirm that this course of action is acceptable, and that DWQ will approve transfer of the permit as described herein.

I tried to reach you by telephone on Friday and again this afternoon to discuss the matter directly, but you were not available. On February 10, you wrote that "This will also confirm that your client requests an opportunity 0 speak with W. Talton p' or.to.responding to Mr. Weinbach's offer. Given the fact that Mr. Talton is. out.of town until next. Monday, Mr. Weinbach has no Abjection to extending the time for a, response untilearly nett week. Please note that I will be in depositions all day on Tuesday, February 17 and Wednesday, February 18." I confided in you by telephone one day during the week of February 16 that I had suffered a personal loss and would not be able to meet with my clients or talk with Mr. Talton until the following week You assured me that was not a problem. When I returned to the office on Monday, February 23, I met with my clients and attempted to speak with Mr. Talton. As set forth in my letter to you of February 26, since Mr. Talton was unwilling to discuss his bid with me, I.posed certain pertinent questions to you, in order to ' allow the Association to make a prudent decision on' how to respond to. Mr. Weinbach's offer Your March 4 letter ends with the statement that "[I] regret that your client did not wish to accept Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer." At this point, the Association has neither accepted nor rejected Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer as set forth in your February 5 letter, and I find it curious that Mr. Weinbach would unilaterally end settlement negotiations in lieu of responding to the request for information that the Association has no way of obtaining on its own. It appears to me that a monetary settlement is feasible and both parties have expressed an interest in such a resolution. The Association's last demand was $125,000, and Mr. Weinbach's last offer was $85,000. Mr. Weinbach's attempt to force Talton Contractors on the Association without responding to the Association's questions diverts Edward Coleman March 8, 2004 Page 2.of 2 both parties from their objective. The Association's concerns about Talton are legitimate: this company admittedly has no experience with this type of project, and its bid is so far out of line with the bids of experienced companies that it seems unrealistic. Talton's bid includes no explanation of how the removed sediment will be disposed of and the price does not take into account liability for damage to private property or city streets. Mr. Weinbach faces significant potential liability if Talton falls short of his objectives on this project. If Mr. Weinbach's goal is to be free from liability associated with the stormwater management ponds at Beachwalk, I do not believe the approach set forth in your March 4 letter will. help ltim accoRiphsh that goal an the Sher hand, if you or your client has any interest .in contmuing settlement' negotiations; including a monetary settlement, 'ttansfet of the stormwater permit, legal transfer of title to the common areas and a release of claims by the Association, please let me know. Otherwise, we will prepare for continued litigation. With kind regards, I remain Scerely yours, Susan McDaniel Keelin Cc: ch Camilletti inda Lewis via facsimile (with S.

Dear Edward: In accordance with our prior discussions, I contacted Michael Talton of Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. on Monday, February 23 with the intention of discussing his $85,000 bid to perform work on the, stormwater management system at Beachwalk at Kure Beach. The undated bid which yoti provided to me on Febraaiy 5, is addressed to acid bears A. signature line for Beachwalk, Homeowners. Association, .Inc:. Your letter. of February 5 indicates that Talton's is prepared to enter into a contract for $815,000 with either Mr. Weinbach or the Association. As you are aware, Mir. Talton declined to discuss the bid or any other matter with me. He requested that I direct my questions to Bob Weinbach: As Mr. Weinbach's counsel, I pose the following questions to you, the answers to which the Association requires in order to prudently determine how to respond to the current state of affairs: 1. Is Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. still willing to enter into a contract with the Association? 2. Please have Talton's provide a list of all projects completed within the past 3 years, including the name and phone numbber of a contact person for each project. 3. It is my understanding that Talton's has never performed a project comparable to this one. That being the case, how did he calculate his bid for this project? Did he have access to the bids from Retention Pond Services, Malpass, or Thompson? If so, how does he rationalize his dramatically lower bid, given that they have experience with similar projects and he does not? 4. Is Talton's a financially viable company? What type of insurance does it carry? 5. Is Talton's willing to submit a detailed bid that can be compared with the bid provided by Retention Pond Services? 6. How does Talton's propose to handle the disposal of the sediment removed from the ponds? Edward Coleman February 26, 2004 Page 2 of 2 I look forward to receiving this information so that we can evaluate the next logical step toward resolution of this matter.

HILL, II (1931-2001) Via Facsimile 350-2004 Ms. Linda Lewis North Carolina Division of Water Quality 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 RE: Beachwalk at Kure Beach Our File 279-GEC-02 Dear Ms. Lewis: This correspondence will bring you up to date as to the status of the settlement negotiations between my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach/Beachwalk Development, Inc., and the Beachwalk Homeowners Association, who is represented by Ms. Susan Keelln. After speaking with Mr. Weinbach today, I have been authorized to advise you that Mr. Weinbach will be entering into a contract within the next few days with Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. to remove sediment from both retention ponds, as well as to clean the feeder ditches to provide proper flow. The scope of the work to be performed by Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. was confirmed on February 18, 2004 during the course of an on -site meeting with Mr. Weinbach, Mr. Michael L. Talton (President of Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc.) and Mr. David Hollis of Hanover Design. Please recall that Mr. Hollis designed the drainage system and certified the as -built plans. While Ms. Keelin and her client may disagree, Mr. Weinbach has attempted in good faith to resolve this matter amicably. In fact, in Mediation on January 15, 2004, Mr. Weinbach offered to pay $100,000 toward a $165,000 proposed contract from Retention Pond Services. The representatives from the Beachwalk HOA at Mediation, Including the Board President, Mr. Rich Camilletti, indicated that they would recommend the settlement offer to the full Board but that acceptance of the offer was contingent upon approval of the entire Board. Unfortunately, the Board rejected the offer on January 20, 2004. Thereafter, the Homeowners Association demanded Mr. Weinbach to pay $150,000 to settle the matter and later reduced. their demand to $125,000. Prior to responding to the Homeowners last demand of $125,000, Mr. Weinbach felt it was prudent to try to solicit a lower bid for the remediation work. Fortunately, Mr. Weinbach was able to secure a bid in the amount of $85,000 from Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. "Initially, the bid was offered to both the Homeowners Association, as well as Mr. Weinbach. Given the fact that the $85,000 bid from Talton's was $15,000 less than Mr. Weinbach had previously offered to settle the matter, Mr. Weinbach offered to pay the Beachwalk HOA $85,000 and have the HOA contract directly with 3— 4-04;11:12AM;HOGUE HILL JONES ;910 769 4965 -• e Ms. Linda Lewis March 4, 2004 Page 2 Talton's similar to the proposal at Mediation where the Beachwalk HOA was to contract directly with Retention Pond Services. Mr. Weinbach's offer to pay $85,000 to settle the matter was made in writing on February 5, 2004, and a copy of the Talton proposal to the Beachwalk HOA in the amount of $85,000 was attached to Mr. Weinbach's proposal. A few days later, Mr. Talton advised Mr. Weinbach that he was no longer interested in contracting with the Beachwalk HOA in light of a conversation that Mr, Talton had with Mr. Dean Lambeth, who is a representative of the Beachwalk HOA. Based on the fact that Mr. Talton received instructions with respect to the scope of the work from Mr. Hollis, I am confident that the work that will be performed by Talton is consistent with what needs to be done to satisfy the concerns of your office. While the language contained in the permit issued by your office to Beachwalk Development, Inc. affords your office the ability to seek compliance by Mr. Weinbach/ Beachwalk Development, Mr. Weinbach contends that the responsibility for maintenance was clearly transferred to the Beachwalk HOA in both the restrictive covenants and the plats which were recorded. Mr. Weinbach intends to file suit against the Beachwalk HOA seeking contribution/ indemnification for the $85,000 that he will pay to Talton. Perhaps I have given you more information that you need to know, however, it is important to me that you understand that Mr. Weinbach has attempted to resolve this matter amicably and most importantly that Mr. Weinbach has arranged for the requisite work to be performed. It is my understanding that, pending weather constraints, Mr. Talton will begin work by mid -June 2004. Given the fact that the Beachwalk HOA has filed suit contending that they do not own the common areas, I assume that Talton will be afforded access over the maintenance easements to perform the work. I have attached correspondence to Ms. Keelin confirming Mr. Weinbach's decision to proceed with the work. I will advise you when the work begins and when it is completed. Should you have any questions concerning the contents of this correspondence, please feel free to contact me. Finally, I sincerely appreciate you affording the parties an opportunity to attempt to resolve this matter amicably. Very truly rs, G.

HILL, II (1931-2001) Further to Mr. Weinbach's most recent settlement offer as recited in my correspondence to you dated February 5, 2004, our subsequent telephone conversation on February 10, and your correspondence of February 26, it is my understanding that Mr. Dean Lambeth contacted and met with Mr. Michael Talton of Talton's Clearing Contractors, Inc. with respect to Talton's bid to the Beachwalk HOA in the amount of $85,000. It is my further understanding that following the meeting between Mr. Talton and Mr. Lambeth, Mr. Talton decided that he does not wish to enter into a contract with the Beachwalk HOA but will enter into a contract with Mr. Weinbach. In addition to discussing the scope of work, Mr. Lambeth apparently felt compelled to advise Mr. Talton that he believes Mr. Talton had undervalued the project given the fact that other bids are significantly higher than Mr. Talton's. Mr. Weinbach met on February 18, 2004 at Beachwalk with Mr. Talton and Mr. David Hollis of Hanover Design. Please recall that Mr. Hollis is the engineerwhu designed the Storm Water system and certified the as -built plans. As a result of the meeting with Mr. Talton and Mr. Hollis, Mr. Weinbach has decided that he will enter into a contract with Talton and file suit against the Beachwalk HOA seeking indemnity/contribution. It is my understanding that the work will begin in late May or early June. Talton will need complete access of the 30-foot wide feeder ditch drainage easements, as well as the pond common area drainage easements, as provided in the recorded plat in Map Book 36, pages 284 and 285. Based on my inspection of the premises with Glen Garrett several weeks ago, as well as the inspection by Mr. Talton, Mr. Hollis and Mr. Weinbach on February 18, it is readily apparent that there are various items within the drainage easements, including mature vegetation/landscaping, fencing and possibly two air 5—`4-04;11:13AM;HO13UE HILL JONES e, Ms. Susan McDaniel Keelin Page 2 March 4, 2004 conditioning/heating units. Please advise the property owners within the drainage easements that they are to remove all mature vegetation/landscaping, fencing, air conditioning/heating units or any other object within the drainage easement at the property owners' expense prior to May 15. 2004. Any items left in the drainage easement that need to be removed in order to do maintenance will be removed at the property owners' expense. My recent inspection of the property also revealed that many homeowners have buried drain lines that are tied into the homeowners' roof gutters so that the gutter discharge flows through an underground pipe and is deposited directly into the storm water system feeder ditches. This practice is expressly prohibited by the Storm Water Permit. Please have all homeowners who have pipes that allow gutter runoff to flow into the feeder ditches to remove the pipes. Finally, the fountains that have been placed in the ponds should be removed immediately, as they are in violation of the Storm Water Permit. As I indicated in my February 5, 2004 correspondence, Mr. Weinbach is willing to consider a proposed Consent Judgment in the pending lawsuit that the Beachwalk HOA has filed. Ideally, the Beachwalk HOA would agree to assume transfer of the Storm Water Permit and common areas after Talton completes its work. If the Beachwalk HOA is not willing to accept transfer of all of the common areas and Storm Water Permit at that time, we will need to discuss a lease for the amenities. Again, please advise the affected property owners to remove all items within the drainage easements, to remove drain pipes that channel wafter directly into the feeder ditches, and to remove the fountains from both of the ponds. I appreciate your effort to get this matter resolved and regret that your client did not wish to accept Mr. Weinbach's settlement offer. very truly yours, G.

WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001) Dear Susan: This will confirm our conversation this morning regarding Mr. Weinbach's recent proposal. This will also confirm that your client requests an opportunity to speak with Mr. Talton prior to responding to Mr. Weinbach's offer. Given the fact that Mr. Talton is out of town until next Monday, Mr. Weinbach has no objection to extending the time for a response until early next week. Please note I will be in depositions all day on Tuesday, February 17 and Wednesday, February 18. I Innk forward to hearing from you in response to Mr. Weinbach's offer. Very truly yours, G.

In fact, Mr. Weinbach left Mediation on January 15, 2004 after offering $100,000.00 to settle this matter thinking that the case had been resolved. While the $100,000.00 was accepted by the Board Members who were present at Mediation, it was conditioned on acceptance of the entire Board, who rejected the offer on Tuesday, January 20, 2004. Since that time, there have been ongoing discussions which have resulted in what I believe to be another more than fair offer on the part of Mr. Weinbach. I expect to receive either an acceptance or a rejection of Mr. Weinbach's most recent proposal within the next week to ten days. If the HOA does not accept Mr. Weinbach's most recent offer, he is prepared to enter into a contract with a licensed contractor to remove the sediment, and clean the feeder ditches as suggested by Mr. David Hollis of Hanover Design. Otherwise, Mr. Hollis believes the pond is in compliance. The bottom fine is either the HOA will accept Mr. Weinbach's final offer to settle the case or they will reject it. If the HOA rejects the offer then Mr. Weinbach is prepared to personally see that the work is done and then he will file a lawsuit against the HOA seeking contribution and indemnity based on the fact that the Restrictive Covenants and Recorded Plat clearly provide that the homeowners are responsible for maintenance, coupled with the fact that the HOA has, in fact, assessed homeowners for maintenance and has maintained the pond system up to the point it was discovered that sediment needed to be removed. I sincerely appreciate your office granting the parties an opportunity to resolve this matter amicably. Again, I am optimistic that this case will be resolved in the next week to ten days. However, the negotiation process is quickly nearing an end and it is important for your office to know that Mr. Weinbach is prepared to make sure that the work suggested by Mr. Hollis is performed. I will let you know if there is a settlement by February 20, 2004. Please let me know if you have any questions. V t 1 ours ery ru y y , bwo)Lck- G.

HILL, II (1931-2001) Please be advised that counsel for the respective parties (myself on behalf of Beachwalk Development/Bob Weinbach; Susan Keelin on behalf of the Beachwalk Homeowners Association; and Andy Canoutas on behalf of the Town of Kure Beach) met at Mr. George Rountree's office on the morning of Tuesday, December 2, 2003 for a "pre -mediation meeting." Counsel discussed the issues associated with this matter as well as potential settlement options. As you are aware, the case was set for Mediation on Tuesday, December 16, 2003 to include negotiation on all issues associated with this matter, including allocation of financial responsibility for the pond maintenance work that Ms. Keelin and I discussed with you during or recent meeting. During the course of the meeting at Mr. Rountree's office, a creative potential resolution was discussed that would require Mr. Canoutas to get the approval of the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen. Assuming Mr. Canoutas is able to gain the approval of the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen then it is likely that this matter will be resolved very quickly. Unfortunately, the next Kure Beach Board of Aldermen meeting is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, December 16, 2003 which was the date for Mediation. Ms. Linda Lewis December 8, 2003 Page 2 The parties agreed to postpone Mediation pending Mr. Canoutas presenting the proposal to the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen. If the Board accepts the proposal, then, as stated above, this matter should be wrapped up fairly quickly. The other two obvious responses from the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen are (1) a request for additional information from Mr. Canoutas, or (2) reject the proposal. If the Kure Board of Aldermen rejects the proposal, then the parties will be prepared to return to Mediation as soon as a new date is agreed upon. I would hope that date would be either by the end of the year or within the first two weeks of January 2004. If the Board of Aldermen requests additional information, then it is likely that Board approval of the potential settlement might not come until the January 2004 meeting of the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen which I assume will be held on Tuesday, January 20, 2004. I fully understand your desire to get this matter resolved and sincerely appreciate you allowing counsel the opportunity to pursue an amicable resolution. As evidenced by the progress made during the meeting with Mr. Rountree, I am cautiously optimistic that the parties are close to resolving this matter. I request that you allow the parties to continue settlement negotiations which will include either (1) a report to you on December 17 that the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen has accepted the proposal; (2) the Town of Kure Beach requests additional information and will not be prepared to make a decision until January 20, 2004; or, (3) that the Kure Beach Board of Aldermen rejects the proposed settlement and the parties will proceed to Mediation. Please feel free to contact me or any of the other attorneys, including Mr. Rountree, if you have any additional questions.

In addition, I have enclosed a copy of the $125,000.00 bid received from Retention Pond Services, Inc. As indicated yesterday, this case is set for Mediation on Tuesday, December 16, 2003, at the office of Mr. Rountree who is serving as Mediator. I do not have an objection to either you or someone from your office attending Mediation, however, I would appreciate you letting me know ahead of time so that we can advise Mr. Rountree. If I do not hear from you, it will be my assumption that neither you nor someone from your office plan on attending Mediation and I will promptly report to you following Mediation. Again, I appreciate your cooperation. Please let me know if you have any questions. Very truly yours, 1 G.

Mr. Bushardt forwards Permit No. SW8 960518 dated September 9, 1996. The correspondence advises that"failure to establish adequate system for operation and maintenance of the storm water management system will result in future compliance problems."

Numbered paragraph 4 under Section 1 (Design Standards) states that no homeowner shall pipe any drainage feature without submitting a revision to the Permit. Numbered paragraph under Section 2 (Schedule of Compliance) requires the Permitee shall at all times provide the operation and maintenance necessary to assure the permitted storm water system functions at optimal efficiency. The approved Operation and Maintenance Plan must be followed in its entirety and maintenance must occur at the scheduled interval 10-14-03; 2:a16PM;HOGUE HILL JONES ;910 763 4985 * 7/ 13 TIME LINE Page 2of8 including, but not limited to, semiannual scheduled inspections (every 6 months); sediment removal; mowing and revegetation on side slopes; immediate repair of eroded areas; maintenance of side slopes in accordance with approved plans and specifications; debris removal and unclogging of outlet structure orifice device in catch basins and piping; access to the outlet structure must be available at all times. Numbered paragraph 4 under Section 2 (Schedule of Compliance) requires that records of maintenance activities must be kept and made available upon request to authorized personnel of DWQ. February 27, 1997 Beachwalk at Kure Beach plat/map is recorded providing that all common areas and drainage easements are to be maintained by the Beachwalk Property Owners Association and all common area ponds are to be the property of the Beachwalk Property Owners Association. March 7, 1997 Beachwalk Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions are filed. "Common Area" includes any small common area designated on the map recorded for Beachwalk. Special assessments may be had for the improvement and maintenance of the common areas. A special assessment must have the approval of two-thirds of the vote of each class of members. Notice of in10 days must be provided to call a meeting for consideration of a special assessment.

October 21, 1997 As Built Certified Plans by David Hollis. February 16, 1998 First Amendment to Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is filed. The Amendment states that it is intended to insure continued compliance with the storm water Permit issued with the State of North Carolina. April 6, 1998 Correspondence from Rick Shiver. (acting Regional Quality Supervisor NC DEHNR) to Bob Weinbach stating that the Wilmington Regional Office has approved the Storm Water Permit Application. Permit No. SW8 960518 dated April 6, 1998 is enclosed. The Kermit is effective from issuance until September 9, 2006. July 9, 1998 Second Amendment to Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is filed. February 5, 1999 Ned Barnes prepares North Carolina Non -Warranty Deed purportedly tendered to the HOA. 10-•14-03; 2:16PM;HOGUE HILL JONES ; 9 1 0 763 4985 # 9. 13 TIME LINE Page 4of8 June 28, 2001 Linda Lewis sends correspondence to Bob Weinbach stating that she understands Mr. Weinbach is no longer associated with the project. Ms. Lewis states that she believes Mr. Weinbach may have violated Section 3, Part 1 of the Storm Water Permit by not seeking a name/ownership change. August 7, 2001 Bill Lynch sends correspondence to Linda Lewis [erroneously] advising that the common areas have been transferred to the HOA. My Lynch takes the position that the North Carolina Planned Community Act (N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operation and maintenance of common facilities upon the HOA. March 8, 2002 Linda Lewis sends correspondence to Edward Coleman stating that the HOA is questioning whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed, who owns the common areas, and who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond. Ms. Lewis states that Section 3, Part 1 of the Permit requires that the Permitee must submit a Name/Ownership Change Form and supporting documentation to transfer maintenance responsibility. Ms. Lewis requests that a copy of the written maintenance records be submitted. Ms. Lewis indicates that the homeowners allege that stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may keep it from reaching the detention pond and that Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on site. April 4, 2002 Edward Coleman provided Linda Lewis via hand delivery with a copy of the Certified As Built Blueprints and photographs. April 9, 2002 Edward Coleman and David Hollis inspect the drainage system at Beachwalk. It is discovered that a dam has been 10-14-03; 2:16PM;HOGUE H'LL JONES ;9i0 763 4985 # 10/ 13 constructed at the mouth at the southeasternmost drainage ditch which causes the pool level to be higher than the design and approved level. It is also discovered that numerous homeowners have piped gutter runoff directly into the drainage system. April 24, 2002 Correspondence is sent from Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis detailing the on -site inspection performed by Mr. Coleman and Mr. Hollis on April 9, 2002. The correspondence also includes photographs and a copy of the certified As Built Plans. May 1, 2002 Edward Coleman meets with Bob McKoy (Property Manager), and homeowners/board members, Dean Lambeth, Tim Fuller, Pat Holleman and Rick Camilletti. The group performs an on -site inspection and discusses Mr. Weinbach's potential responsibility for 4 "items" which include: (1) removal of the large mound of dirt on the north common area; (2) removal of sediment in the drainage ditch between the ponds; (3) placement of sod in a 150 feet by 4 feet section along the western bank of the southeasternmost drainage ditch; and (4) filling in a small area with dirt and covering the same with sod along the eastern side of the southeasternmost drainage ditch. There was no mention of concern regarding pond depth and no mention of having the drainage system re -certified prior to transfer of the Permit. July 30, 2002 Correspondence to Bob McKoy confirming our meetings over the last few weeks. Correspondence acknowledges that Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incurthe expense associated with removing the mound of dirt in the common area; add dirt to a small section on the southeast bank of the southernmost drainage ditch and cover the dirt with sod; add sod to an approximately 150 ft. x 4 ft. section on the western bank of the southernmost drainage ditch; and remove a small amount of sediment built up in the middle section of the drainage ditch between the two large ponds. 10-14-03; 2=16PM;HOGUE HILL JONES ;910 763 4985 # 11, 13 TIME LINE Page 6 of 8 August 6, 2002 Hogue, Hill, Jones, Nash & Lynch records a deed conveying the common area to the HOA, August 6, 2002 Correspondence from 'Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis confirming conversation last week regarding Beachwalk at Kure Beach. Original Permit Application was approved on September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water runoff from Kure Dunes accounting for 4.5 acres at 70% impervious. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis inspected the storm water drainage system for certification and discovered that the system as constructed could not be certified due to minor deviations from the approved plans. Working with the Division of Water Quality, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was granted on April 6, 1998. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998. Ms. Lewis is advised that Mr. Weinbach will incur the expense associated with removing the dirt on the northern common area, removing sediment in the area between the two ponds; adding sod to the northern bank of the southeasternmost drainage ditch; and filling in a hole and sodding a small area on the east side of the southeasternmost drainage ditch. August 19, 2002 Correspondence from Linda Lewis to Edward Coleman stating that Ms. Lewis, after discussion with the homeowners and input from the Central Office and Staff, believes that the homeowners' main issue revolves around the uncertainty of the pond's depth. Ms. Lewis suggests that Mr. Weinbach have the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. Ms. Lewis advises that a full recertification is not necessary since all other permitted requirements of the pond desican have been verified by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in 1 O-,1 4-03 ; 2 ; 1 6PM ; HOGUE HILL JONES ;910 763 4985 # 12/ 13 TIME LINE Page 7 of 8 1998. Ms. Lewis states that it will be up to Mr. Weinbach and the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for removal of the sediment. Both sides need to acknowledge their part in creating this situation. The homeowners need to be aware that they have enjoyed the use of the pond since 1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated his Permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to transfer the Permit to the HOA. The fact that the Kure Dunes homeowners will not be contributing to the cost to maintain the pond does not sit well. Please get this matter resolved prior to October 19, 2002. September 5, 2002 Correspondence from David Hollis to Edward Coleman containing results of the pond inspection which revealed that sediment needed to be removed from both ponds. October 14, 2002 Correspondence from Edward Coleman to Linda Lewis advising that Susan McDaniel now represents the HOA and that the parties are pursuing settlement negotiations. December, 2002 Susan McDaniel tenders to Edward Coleman a proposed Agreement. February 17, 2003 Request for bid proposals are sent by Edward Coleman to Thompson & Co., Inc.; Skinner -Smith Construction; Malpass Construction Co., Inc.; and Retention Pond Services, Inc. March 6, 2003 Edward Coleman receives bid from Retention Pond Services, Inc. in the amount of $125,000.00.

May 20, 2003 Correspondence from Susan McDaniel to Retention Pond Services, Inc. (Glenn Garrett) asking Mr. Garrett to revise his bid to include the location of all access and staging areas; to accept responsibility for any damage caused by Retention Pond Services; the terms of any warranty that would be provided if the HOA chose not to purchase the monthly maintenance agreement; and all requirements for bringing the storm water management system to design specifications required by the Division of Water Quality.

I do not have an objection to the three of us meeting, however, I do believe it might be prudent for a representative of the Town of Kure Beach to also attend the meeting as 38% of the flow impacting the system flows from property owned by the Town of Kure Beach. I believe this fact was raised in a recent letter I received from Ms. McDaniel. I believe the Town's interest in participating in settlement at mediation is contingent upon the Town being fully advised of the situation associated with the system, including their use and enjoyment of the system prior to mediation. If either of you object to a representative of the Town of Kure Beach attending the meeting between us, then I ask that you please let me know as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will contact the Kure Beach Town Attorney once we have agreed upon a date. 9-24-03; 3:04PM:H0vUE HILL •JONES ;910 763 4985 # 3/ 3 Ms. Linda Lewis Ms. Susan McDaniel September 24, 2003 Page 2 With respect to the scheduling of our meeting, I learned earlier today that I will not be available on Wednesday, October 15, 2003, and apologize for having to reschedule.

HILL, II (1931-2001) Further to your facsimile of yesterday, I have set aside October 15 for a meeting at your office. In addition, I have copied Ms. McDaniel on this correspondence and ask that she contact both you and I if she is unavailable October 15, 2003 at 10:00 a.m. Ms. McDaniel and I have been discussing over the past few weeks, the possibility of attempting this matter via mediation and have identified Mr. George Rountree as a mutually acceptable mediator, contingent upon his fee. In addition, Ms. McDaniel and through recent facsimiles to each other, agree that it might be more prudent for the meeting on October 15 to be with you, Ms. McDaniel, a representative from the Town of Kure Beach (presumably Andy Kanutus), and myself. If the parties will commit to go to mediation shortly after our meeting with you then that will allow the parties to share their concerns and positions with you as well as for you to share your concerns and questions with counsel prior to mediation and would not place you in the position of serving as a "mediator" if we were to meet with the parties being present, as well as counsel. Unless I hear from you or Ms. McDaniel to the contrary, it will be my assumption that we will meet in your office on October 15 at 10:00 with attorneys only. Unless you object, I will contact Mr. Kanutus and request that he also attend the meeting. I will let you know Mr. Kanutus' position regarding attendance. 9-2 4-03 ; 1 0 : 40Af 1; HOGUE HILL JOHES ;910 763 4965 # 4 Ms. Linda Lewis September 24, 2003 Page 2 As indicated in prior correspondence, I may be out the rest of the week as I have been summoned for jury duty for today and the remainder of the week.

I indicated that I am willing to discuss any alternate proposal with my client, but that the HOA is losing faith and patience, and wants Weinbach to sign an agreement with teeth in it which fairly and reasonably addresses ail of the issues on the table. You indicated that David Hollis of Hanover Design Services believes it is unnecessary to survey the drainage ditches in order to obtain a binding bid for removal of sediment from the ditches, because in his experience the bidders will inspect the ditches betbre they bid, and zhe cost of removal of sediment from the ditches is a "miniscule part of the bid relative to the cost of removing sediment from the ponds. If the bidders find Hollis' optimistic opinion not to hold true, please suggest a mechanism that would allow the bidding to move forward without delay. Please also address how the HOA is to obtain current information about the location and condition of the forebays, and how the HOA is to obtain an opinion regarding compliance of the system with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of construction. This ir&rmation is important because it will obviously influence tb .fair. cost allocation between Weinbach and the HOA for bringing the system up to par- Keepin mind that the HOA wants to have Weinbach pay the costs associated with removal of sediment from the drainage ditches, sodding of the western bank of the southernmost drainage ditch, filling the indention on the eastern bank of the southernmost drainage ditch and cover the same with sod, and any other work required to bring the drainage system up to state standards. The only work tho HOA proposes to have Weinbach handle directly is removal of the dirt mound. The HOA can then coordinate the most efficient timing, of the other work. Also, please address in your proposed agreement resolution of the file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMF\ELPB153.TNW 1/10103 h riaay, ,ianuary 10, 200311:04 AM Tim Fuller 9104585122 p.04 Page 2 of 2 erroneous/non-consensual deeding of the common areas to the HOA. Edward, the HOA Board and I worked hard on the Agreement hand -delivered to you on December 27, and I frankly don't understand why Nk. Weinbach finds it unacceptable. However, I will happily deliver to the HOA any counterproposal you suggest, but the counterproposal needs to address all of the issues we have raised. If we are at an impasse, we may need to find another forum for addressing the issues. I look forward to hearing from you.

I indicated that I am willing to discuss any alternate proposal with my client, but that the HOA is losing faith and patience, and wants Weinbach to sign an agreement with teeth in it which fairly and reasonably addresses all of the issues on the table. You indicated that David Hollis of Hanover Design Services believes it is unnecessary to survey the drainage ditches in order to obtain a binding bid for removal of sediment from the ditches, because in his experience the bidders will inspect the ditches beFore they bid, and the cost of removal of sediment from the ditches is a "miniscule" part of the bid relative to the cost of removing sediment from the ponds. If the bidders find Hollis.' optimistic opinion not to hold true, please suggest a mechanism that would allow the bidding to move forward without delay. Please also address how the HOA is to obtain current information about the location and condition of the forebays, and how the HOA is to obtain an opinion regarding compliance of the system with DWQ regulations in effect at the time of construction. This information is important because it will obviously influence the fair cost allocation between Weinbach and the HOA for bringing the system up to pa - Keep in mind that the HOA wants to have Weinbach pay the costs associated with removal of sediment from the drainage ditahea, sodding of the western bank of the southernmost drainage ditch, filling the indention on the eastern bank of the southernmost drainage ditch and cover the same with sod, and any other work required to bring the drainage system up to state standards. The only work the HOA proposes to have Weinbach handle directly is removal of the dirt mound. The HOA can then coordinate the most efficient timing of the other work. Also, please address in your proposed agreement resolution of the tile://CAWINDOWS\TEMF\ELPB 153.TMP 1110/03 Friday, January 10, 200311;04 AM Tim Fuller 9104585122 p.04 Page 2 of 2 erroneous/noa-consensual deeding of the common areas to the HOA. Edward, the HOA Board and I worked hard on the Agreement hand -delivered to you on December 27, and I frankly don't understand why W. Weinbach finds it unacceptable. However, I will happily deliver to the HOA, any counterproposal you suggest, but the counterproposal needs to address all of the issues we have raised. If we are at an impasse, we may need to find another forum for addressing the issues. I look forward to hearing from you. The HONs tendered agreement is attached, in the event you wish to use it as a base for any counterproposal.

The modification was issued to allow for the runoff from Kure Dunes to be treated in the wet detention pond approved for Beachwalk. Since that time, several events have occurred which require your immediate attention. It is my understanding that you are no longer associated with this project. Per the requirements of Section III, Part 1 of your permit, a name/ownership change form must be completed and submitted along with other supporting documentation in order to transfer the permit and maintenance responsibility to the Homeowner's Association. Until this is done, you will remain legally responsible for maintaining the pond and the project in compliance with the permit conditions. The Division is requesting that you meet with the HOA and resolve any outstanding issues with them, complete the appropriate form to transfer the permit and submit it along with the required supporting documentation. Once the site is determined to be compliance, the permit will be transferred. Please respond to this letter by August 25, 2001. Failure to respond by the due date will result in the initiation of enforcement action, which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143- 215.6A.

Further to your correspondence of August 19, 2002, this will confirm that I have been working diligently on behalf of my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, regarding the dispute with the Beachwalk at Kure Beach Homeowners Association. Approximately three weeks ago, the HOA obtained the services of an attorney, Ms. Susan McDaniel. Over the last three weeks, Ms. McDaniel and I have had several conversations regarding resolution of this matter and we have also traveled to Beachwalk together to inspect the property. It is my understanding that Ms. McDaniel will be meeting with her clients this Wednesday, October 16, regarding Mr. Weinbach's most recent offer. Unfortunately, I will be leaving to go out of the country tomorrow, October 15 and will not be back in my office until Wednesday, October 23. As a result of the ongoing dialogue between myself and Ms. McDaniel regarding settlement of this matter as well as my absence from the office, I respectfully request that you delay any contemplated enforcement action until October 31, 2002 if resolution has not been reached. I will be in my office most of the day today and until noon tomorrow should you need to contact me. Ms. McDaniel can be reached at 509-7525. Assuming the request for the extension is acceptable, you can expect to receive a report from me and/or Ms. McDaniel by October 31. HOGUE, HILL, JONES, NASH & LYNCH, L.L.P ATTORNEYS AT LAW W.

Given the current posture of the settlement discussions, both Ms. McDaniel and I are optimistic that a resolution will be reached in the very near future. While Ms. McDaniel and I are making progress toward the resolution , it will be necessary for both she and I to consult with our clients to obtain approval before a final agreement can be reached. Therefore, with Ms. McDaniel's consent, I am requesting that your office allow my client and the Beachwalk HOA to continue their good faith effort to resolve this matter amicably without intervention from the Division of Water Quality. I anticipate Ms. McDaniel and I will be able to report to you more fully regarding a possible resolution within the next two to three weeks. During the interim, please contact me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way. Please note that I will be out of my office until Wednesday, November 6.

HILL, II (1931-2001) ((5\i Vu This will confirm receipt of your March 8, 2002 correspondence to my attention. I have reviewed the aforementioned correspondence with our client, Mr. Robert Weinbach, and enclosed for your review the following docurncnts: Deed transferring ownership of the Common Area from to dated Certi 6cation of the ponds by David Hollis of Hanover Design Services, P.A.; and Certification from David Criser, Town Engineer for Kure Beach. Your aforementioned correspondence of March 8, 2002 seems to address five issues which are as follows: Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed?; 2. Who owns the Common Areas?; Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond?; 4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and maybe keeping it from reaching the detention pond?; and Whether Mr. Weinbach performed maintenance while he was on site. Each of the aforementioned concerns are addressed below. As stated in correspondence from Mr. Bill Lynch to you dated August 7, 2001 our client maintains that North Carolina Planned Community Act (specifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operating and maintaining common facilities upon the HOA for each planned community. The statutory provision does not require that a name/ownership change form or any permanent transfer occur before the obligation of the r + • ' Ms. Linda Lewis April 4, 2002 Page 2 HOA to operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. In fact, Mr. Weinbach has no right of access over the property to perform maintenance. Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed? Our client contends that the approved drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced by the certification of the Kure Beach Town Engineer, David Criser, a copy of which is attached. 2. Who owns the common areas? Our client maintains that the common areas are owned by the HOA as evidenced in the deed, a copy of which is attached hereto. 3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond? Our client maintains that the HOA is responsible for maintaining the detention pond as it is a common area pursuant to the North Carolina Planned Community Act. 4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may be keeping it from reaching the detention pond? At this point, I am not able to respond to this allegation pending an onsite inspection. Our client has no knowledge of stockpiled material blocking drainage and denies that he caused or contributed to any material being stockpiled in the development. Whether Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on site? Mr. Weinbach contends that he maintained the pond in the course of the development of the property and, in fact, made significant modifications to the pond prior to receipt of the certificate attached hereto. Your letter indicates that Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth have had discussion with you concerning the detention pond. I will be contacting both Mr. Fuller and Mr. Lambeth in the near future to discuss any concerns that they may have. I anticipate these conversations will take place within the next two weeks and you can expect to receive supplemental correspondence from me following those conversations. I ask that you please diary your file ahead to May 15, 2002 in order to allow me an opportunity to explore the HOA's concerns. During the interim, please contact me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way. Finally, you have requested I provide you with Mr. Weinbach's address which is 5216 Treybrooke Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28409. I ask that you please copy me on any correspondence sent to Mr. Weinbach as well as advise me of you or anyone associated with the Division of Water Quality or DNER wishes to speak with Mr. Weinbach.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office Subject: Pond Re -certification Beachwalk @Kure Beach Stormwater Project No. SW8 960518 New Hanover County Dear Mr. Coleman: I am in receipt your letter of August 6, 2002, on behalf of your client, Bob Weinbach, regarding the Beachwalk pond re -certification. After much discussion with you, the homeowners, and input from Central Office staff, it appears to me that the homeowners main issue revolves around the uncertainty of the pond's depth. If this is the pivotal issue, then it would be in your client's best interest to have the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. A full re -certification is not necessary, since all other permitted requirements of the pond design have been verified as provided by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in 1998. Once the depth is checked, and assuming it needs to be cleaned out, it will be up to Mr. Weinbach and the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for what. Both sides need to acknowledge their parts in creating this situation. The homeowners need to be aware that they have enjoyed the use of this pond since 1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated his permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to transfer the permit to the HOA_. The fact that the Kure Dunes homeowners will not be contributing to the cost of maintaining the pond that they enjoy the benefit of does not sit well, but I am here only to protect surface waters from stormwater runoff pollution, not to negotiate a deal -I'll leave that to you. I encourage both parties to sit down and reach a reasonable compromise rather than point fingers acid assign blame. Due to the extended time frame that has resulted from this staiidof% i an-, forced to place a time limit on reaching a compromise before I initiate additional enforcemen. action. Please get this resolved prior to October 19, 2002. Ed, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you, and 1 look forward to the equitable resolution of this situation in the near future.

If the pond is in compliance, we don't think we have any authority to make him "fix" something that isn't "broke". It is up to the HOA and developer to work out the details on who is going to "muck out" the pond, if that is what they want done.. Both sides have to sign on for the transfer to take place. If the HOA doesn't want to assume responsibility for the permit with the pond in it's current condition, that is their choice, we can't force them to take on the responsibility. If the two parties want to transfer the permit, they need to workout their differences among themselves, not dump the dispute in your lap. -dme Linda Lewis wrote: > Dear Darren: > I have a situation that I am not sure what to do.

Dear Jill: Lots of progress being made today. RE Beachwalk- (where the developer, Robert Weinbach, did not transfer common area to the HOA).

My letter to the developer's attorney will include a request to produce legal documentation of the ownership change. Also, I was not successful in finding any statutes where it talks about the fact that a permittee is considered responsible for compliance with the permit until such time as it is transferred to another party or superceded, all with the Division's full knowledge. The closest I come is 143-215.1 (b)(4)(a), where the Commission has the power to grant a permit with whatever conditions necessary to achieve the purposes of the Article. If this is all we have, then Mr. Weinbach's attorney is correct. The permit does not hold him responsible for pond maintenance after title is transferred to the HOA. The violation of one condition (to notify the Division and transfer the permit) is being used as an excuse. My argument is that had we known about the transfer (as required by the permit) we could ,have avoided this whole ugly mess, but as Mr. biz inbach told the HOA, ;:.e had no intention of ever complying with the permit. Maybe that qualifies as getting a permit under false pretenses. Bradley is working on it. A draft copy of my incomplete letter will be faxed. RE Dawning Creek/Whispering Pines, I have drafed a letter and will fax it to you for review. Dan Sams has used the Sheriff's department to deliver Notices of Violation of the Sediment Control Law. He gave me some forms which I have altered to reflect DWQ. These will be faxed to you as well for comment. Thanks.

When we issue a permit, do we have to say that the permittee is responsible for doing what the permit says until the permit transfer is approved? For example, one of the permittees "transfers" the SW permit to an HOA, but doesn't submit any of the documentation to the Division. We don't know anything about it. He thinks that he doesn't have to maintain the stormwater system because the permit doesn't specifically say that he is responsible for maintaining the pond after a transfer occurrs. HOWEVER, all of our permits say that the permit is not transferable to any person until it has been approved by the Division. Since we never approved the transfer, isn't it a simple conclusion that the permittee is responsible for permit compliance until the permit transfer is approved by the Division? Just a thought.

The permittee is always responsible for compliance. The way to become not responsible is to have the permit transferred to someone else (who agrees to be the permittee).

DRAWER 2178 WILMINGTON, NC 28402 TELEPHONE 910-763-4565 FACSIMILE 910-762.6687 OF COUNSEL CYRUS D. HOGUE, JR. WILLIAM L. HILL, II (1931-2001) This will confirm our conversation last week regarding the issues between the Beachwalk at Kure Beach Homeowners Association and my client, Mr. Bob Weinbach as well as your concerns with respect to the storm water management system ("the system") at Beachwalk. During the course of our conversation, we reviewed in detail the demands of the HOA (many of which we believe do not pertain to the system) as well as the demand presented by the HOA that the system be re -certified before the HOA will agree to accept transfer of the Permit. In the course of our conversation you advised that the pond must be re -certified in order for your office to approve transfer, even though the pond has been certified by Mr. David Hollis. Following our most recent conversation, I contacted Mr. Hollis to inquire as to his availability for inspection of the system. During the course of my conversation with Mr. Hollis we reviewed his involvement to date. The original Permit Application was approved on September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water runoff from Kure Dunes (specifically accounting for 4.5 acres at 70% impervious). Thereafter, Mr. Hollis inspected the storm water drainage system for certification and discovered that the system, as constructed, could not be certified due to minor deviations from the approved plans. Working with your office, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was granted on April 6, 1998. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998. It is Mr. Hollis' position, based on my recent conversations with him over the last twa days, that both the modification and storm water runoff from Kure Dunes were considered in his certification. As we discussed, Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incur the expense associated with performing the tasks requested by the HOA which include: Ms. Linda Lewis August 6, 2002 Page 2 (1) filling a small area on the eastern bank of the drainage ditch near the southernmost point of the drainage system and covering the dirt with sod; (2) sodding a roughly 90 feet by 5 feet bank on the western side of the southernmost drainage ditch; (3) removing sediment buildup in the drainage ditch between the northern pond and the southern pond. Mr. Weinbach will have this done by hand in order to minimize the effect on the landscaping of the adjacent homes; and (4) removal of a large amount of dirt on the common area adjacent to the northern boundary. Following removal of the dirt, Mr. Weinbach will grade and seed the area. The removal of dirt has already begun. In exchange for Mr. Weinbach completing the aforementioned tasks, he has requested that the HOA assume transfer of the Permit. Therefore, the remaining issue is whether the system must be re -certified in order to gain approval of your office. I ask that you please review your file as well as the enclosed documents and provide me with your opinion as to whether re -certification is necessary. I have enclosed a copy of pertinent documents from my file including both the original Application and resulting Permit dated September 9, 1996; Modification Application and resulting Permit dated April 6, 1998; April 13, 1998 Certification; and pertinent correspondence. I previously forwarded to your attention, via hand delivery on April 24, 2002, a copy of the Certified As -Built Blueprints.

SW8 960518 Dear Ms. Lewis: Further to my recent correspondence, this will confirm that I met with the following individuals on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 1, 2002, to discuss concerns raised by some of the homeowners through the Homeowners Association of Beachwalk at Kure Beach: Mr. Bob McKoy (Property Manager); 2. Mr. Dean Lambeth (homeowner/Board member); 3. Mr. Tim Fuller (homeowner/Board member); 4. Ms. Pat Holleman (homeowner/Board member); and 5. Mr. Rick Camilletti (homeowner/Board member). During the course of the aforementioned meeting, I discussed concerns that some of the homeowners have and, along with the five individuals identified above, visually inspected the areas of concern. An agreement was reached that the Homeowners Association will accept transfer of the stormwater permit including future maintenance obligations if their concerns addressed. Obviously, transfer is also contingent upon the approval by DENR. In addition, I have enclosed a copy of the Deed transferring the common areas to the HOA including stormwater ponds and stormwater drainage systems. It is my understanding from Mr. Weinbach and his attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, that the deed was tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago. Mr. McKoy advises that he does not have recollection of receiving the deed. Ms. Linda Lewis May 6, 2002 Page 2 I will be meeting with Mr. Weinbach in the near future as well as with the appropriate representatives of the HOA in an effort to address the concerns raised in my recent meeting and facilitate the transfer of the stormwater drainage permit. I will keep you advised as developments occur and I ask that you please contact me during the interim should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way. Very truly voigs, <wardG.

In addition, Mr. Hollis provided me with a certified copy of the plans and specifications which reflect, according to Mr. Hollis, that the grading and drainage construction conformed with the plans and specifications. A copy of the certified plans is attached for your review. Mr. Hollis and I inspected the area with reference to the homeowners' allegation that material has been stockpiled blocking the flow of drainage as alleged in your correspondence to my attention dated March 8, 2002. Neither Mr. Hollis nor I noticed any material stockpiled which would block the flow of drainage, however, I do note the following: 1. There is ongoing construction at Lot 23 which is being performed by Tew's Construction. The construction consists of a two story dwelling. As noted above, neither Mr. Hollis nor I noticed any stockpiled material that would block the flow of water. I have highlighted Lot 23 on the plat in pink and I have enclosed photographs for your review. (Please see photographs 1 and 2) 2. Lot I I appears to be recently graded with a fresh coat of top soil and appears to be relatively level. There does not appear to be any effect on the storm water drainage due to the grading of Lot 11. Lot 11 is highlighted on the plat in blue and I have enclosed a photograph for your review. (Please see photograph 3) 3. There are three pallets of brick and cylinder block, four panels of compressed board/plywood and a garbage "dumpster" located on Lot 74. The aforementioned Ms. Linda Lewis April 24, 2002 Page 2 material does not appear to be blocking the flow of drainage water. My client does not own Lot 74. Lot 74 is highlighted in yellow and I have enclosed photographs for your review. (Please see photographs 4, 5 and 9) 4. There are several houses being constructed north of the Beachwalk development in the separate development, Kure Beach Village. There does not appear to be any stockpiled material associated with this construction which is outside of the property developed by my client. I have also enclosed photographs of the drainage system including photographs of both ponds. To my untrained eye, the system seems to be extremely well maintained as the grass has been cut down to the water line in all areas. While the homeowners are apparently raising an issue with respect to ownership of the common areas and/or maintenance of the drainage system, it appears that maintenance to date has taken place in a very professional manner. The enclosed photos are described as follows: Photo 1 Construction on Lot 23. Photo 2 Construction on Lot 23. Photo 3 The grading on Lot 11. Photo 4 Dumpster on Lot 74.

In addition, I have reviewed a copy of your correspondence dated June 28, 2001 to our client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, as well as Mr. Bill Lynch's reply correspondence dated August 7, 2001. In reviewing both of your aforementioned letters, it seems the issues addressed by the Division of Water Quality and/or DNER are limited to ownership and/or compliance as there are no allegations in either of your letters on behalf of the Division of Water Quality and/or DENR with respect to the drainage and grading plans. I note in your March 8, 2002 correspondence that the HOA is questioning whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed. Mr. Weinbach contends that the drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced in the attached certification of Mr. David Hollis as well as by the fact that the project was approved by the Town of Kure Beach engineer, Mr. David Criser. I anticipate 1 will be in receipt of the approved final drainage and grading plans early this week and we will promptly provide you with a copy. Your correspondence of March 8, 2002, also indicates that homeowners are alleging that stockpile material may be blocking drainage and that Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on site. As I have not had an opportunity to make an onsite inspection with our engineer, Mr. Davis Hollis, I a n not able to respond to tine allegation that the stockpile material may be blocking drainage. However, Mr. Weinbach maintains that he performed maintenance on the system while be was on site and ha.s neither caused nor contributed to material being stockpiled_ More importantly, Mr. Weinbach has authorized me to contact the homeowners you identify in your correspondence (Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Deane Lambeth) in addition to the property manager, Mr. Bob McCoy, to discuss any concerns the homeowners and/or HOA may have. In addition, I will be meeting with Mr. Weinbach's prior attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, to discuss the negotiations between Mr. Weinbach and the Homeowner's Association with respect to transferring the common areas and PPR oe '02 04:37PM HHJNL P.3 maintenance of the common areas. It is my understanding that a deed transfer in the common areas (including the detention ponds) was tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago and that the HOA has not recorded'the Deed. I anticipate speaking with Mr. Fuller, Mr. Lambeth, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Barnes within the next three weeks. Further, I will be inspecting the ponds with Mr. Weinbach's engineer, Mr. Hollis, within the same time frame. As a result, I respectfully request that the Division of Water Quality refrain from the initiation of enforcement action until I have supplemented this correspondence which will be done by Monday, April 29, 2002. 1 sincerely appreciate your cooperation and ask that you please contact me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.

HILL, II (1931-2001) �5\i q(s() This will confirm receipt of your March 8, 2002 correspondence to my attention. I have reviewed the aforementioned correspondence with our client, Mr. Robert Weinbach, and enclosed for your review the following documents: 1. Deed transferring ownership of the Common Area from to dated 2. Certi 5cation of the ponds by David Hollis of Hanover Design Services, P.A.; and 3. Certification from David Criser, Town Engineer for Kure Beach. Your aforementioned correspondence of March 8, 2002 seems to address five issues which are as follows: l . Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed?; 2. Who owns the Common Areas?; 3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond?; 4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and maybe keeping it from reaching the detention pond?; and 5. Whether Mr. Weinbach performed maintenance while he was on site. Each of the aforementioned concerns are addressed below. As stated in correspondence from Mr. Bill Lynch to you dated August 7, 2001 our client maintains that North Carolina Planned Community Act.(spccifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operating and maintaining common facilities upon the HOA for each planned community. The statutory provision does not require that a name/ownership change form or any pen-nanent transfer occur before the obligation of the Ms. Linda Lewis April 4, 2002 Page 2 HOA to operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. In fact, Mr. Weinbach has no right of access over the property to perform maintenance. Whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed? Our client contends that the approved drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced by the certification of the Kure Beach Town Engineer, David Criser, a copy of which is attached. 2. Who owns the common areas? Our client maintains that the common areas are owned by the HOA as evidenced in the deed, a copy of which is attached hereto. 3. Who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond? Our client maintains that the HOA is responsible for maintaining the detention pond as it is a common area pursuant to the North Carolina Planned Community Act. 4. Whether stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may be keeping it from reaching the detention pond? At this point, I am not able to respond to this allegation pending an onsite inspection. Our client has no knowledge of stockpiled material blocking drainage and denies that he caused or contributed to any material being stockpiled in the development. 5. Whether Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was on site? Mr. Weinbach contends that he maintained the pond in the course of the development of the property and, in fact, made significant modifications to the pond prior to receipt of the certificate attached hereto. Your letter indicates that Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth have had discussion with you concerning the detention pond. I will be contacting both Mr. Fuller and Mr. Lambeth in the near future to discuss any concerns that they may have. I anticipate these conversations will take place within the next two weeks and you can expect to receive supplemental correspondence from me following those conversations. I ask that you please diary your file ahead to May 15, 2002 in order to allow me an Opportunity to explore the HOA's concerns. During the interim, please contact me should you have any questions or if 1 can be of assistance in any way. Finally, you have requested I provide you with Mr. Weinbach's address which is 5216 Treybrooke Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28409. I ask that you please copy me on any correspondence sent to Mr. Weinbach as well as advise me of you or anyone associated with the Division of Water Quality or DNER wishes to speak with Mr. Weinbach.

I am extremely glad to know that the pond will be repaired and brought back into compliance shortly. Your client is involved in another matter. at Beachwalk Subdivision in Kure Beach. We respectfully request that you deliver this letter to him, since Mr. Weinbach has refused all letters from the Division in the recent past. The Division received your August 7, 2001, fax, in response to my letter of June 28, 2001. The events I referred to in that letter are allegations made by the homeowners. They are questioning whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed, who owns .the common areas, and who has responsibility for maintaining the wet detention pond. Your letter alleges that the common area was transferred to the HOA. If so, please provide a copy of the deeds and legal documents that were filed. A search of the New Hanover County Tax records indicated that as of January 1, 2002, Beachwalk Development, Inc., is still the owner of the common areas. Ifthe ownership has been changed since then, please provide the Division with legal documentation of this transfer. If the common areas are not owned by the HOA, the provisions of the North Carolina Planned Community Act cannot apply. NCGS 143-215. 1 (b)(4)(a) allows the Commission to grant a permit with such conditions attached as the Commission believes necessary to achieve the purposes ofArticle 21.On September 1,1998, Mr: RobertWeinbach, as President of Beachwalk Development, Inc., applied for a modification to his previously issued stormwater management permit and received a permit from the Commission to operate and maintain the detention pond at Beachwalk. In the absence of a permit adjudication request, the Division concluded that all the terms and conditions of the October 8, 1998, permit were satisfactory. In Section III, Part 1 of the permit, it clearly states that the permit is not transferable and that in the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, the permittee must submit a Name/Ownership Change form and supporting documentation from the parties involved. Beachwalk Development, Inc., remains the per.-nittee until such time as the Division approves the ownership transfer, and reissues the permit. Mr. Weinbach did not notify the Division that a transfer of ownership had occurred, and the permit has not been reissued to anyone else, therefore, Mr. Weinbach is the responsible party, in violation of his permit, and subject to enforcement action.

Per Section II, Part 7 of the modified Stormwater Management Permit issued on October 8, 1998, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1, I am requesting that a copy of the written maintenance records be submitted, beginning in September, 1996, when the original permit was issued. Additionally, please provide Mr. Weinbach's current mailing address. The homeowners have provided two addresses, one at 1901 London Lane and one at 127 Brascote Lane, both in Wilmington. The tax documents from New Hanover County indicate the mailing address is 1009 N. Lake Park Boulevard, 4-A in Carolina Beach. The Division must be able to. contact Mr. Weinbach. The homeowners allege that stockpiled material may be blocking drainage and may keep it from reaching the detention pond, and that Mr. Weinbach performed no maintenance on the system while he was onsite. Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth both told me that Mr. Weinbach told them he did not intend to respond to any of the Division's letters, or cooperate with the Division, or comply with any of the Division's requests regarding permit compliance or transfer. If Mr. Weinbach is willing to address the Division' s compliance issues, the homeowners would be more than willing to grant access to Mr. Weinbach so that he can perform any corrections to the grading and the needed pond maintenance. The HOA could then sign the necessary documents to transfer the permit, and Mr. Weinbach would be legally flee of the burden of permit compliance. The Division urges both Mr. Weinbach and the HOA and come to some kind of understanding regarding their concerns. If this is not done, the Division will consider it's options to bring closure to this issue. One of those options could be to bring actions against both Mr. Weinbach and the HOA and let the judge decide who is responsible for what. Please respond to this letter in writing by April 8, 2002. Failure to address these items will result in the initiation of enforcement action. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.

NCGS 143-215. 1 (b)(4)(a) allows the Commission to grant a permit with such conditions attached as the Commission believes necessary to achieve the purposes of Article 21.On September 1,1998, Mr. Robert Weinbach, as President of Beachwalk Development, Inc., applied for a modification to his previously issued stormwater management permit and entered into a legal agreement with the Commission to operate and maintain the detention pond at Beachwalk. In the absence of a permit adjudication request, the Division must conclude that all the terms and conditions of the October 8, 1998, permit were satisfactory. In two separate places, according to the final and binding terms, the permit requires that he submit a modification and supporting documentation from BOTH parties involved to transfer ownership. The fact that he is no longer associated with the development is beside the point. Since the Division was not made aware that anv transfer. of ownership had occurred, and the permit has not been superceded, Mr. Weinbach is in violation of his permit, and is subject to enforcement action. The issue of who is now responsible for pond maintenance is separate from the issue of Mr. Weinbach's lack of permit compliance. Per Section II, Part 7 of the modified Stormwater Management Permit issued on October 8, 1998, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1, I am requesting that a copy of the written maintenance records be submitted, beginning in September, 1996, when the original permit was issued. Additionally, please provide Mr. Weinbach's current mailing address. As of June, 2001, the homeowners have provided two addresses, one in Landfall at 1901 London Lane and one at 127 Brascote Lane, both in Wilmington. The tax documents from New Hanover County indicate the mailing address is 1009 N. Lake Park Boulevard, 4-A in Carolina Beach. The homeowners allege that when the Kure Village p rid w c 4 sorn ,kpi ateri was left: do site and may be blocking some drainage from reachi �the.te�ritio pond, an that `Mr: Wei ach �.ii performed no maintenance on the system while he was onsite. Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr. Dean Lambeth both told me that Mr. Weinbach told them he did not intend to respond to any of the Division's letters, or cooperate with the Division, or comply with any of the Division's requests regarding permit compliance or transfer. If the Division' s compliance issues are addressed, the homeowners would be more than willing to grant access to perform any corrections to the grading, to perform needed pond maintenance, and to sign the necessary documents to transfer the permit. The Division urges Mr. Weinbach to meet with the HOA and come to some kind of understanding regarding their concerns. If this is not done, the Division will consider it's options to bring closure to this issue. One of those options is to bring actions against both Mr. Weinbach and the HOA and let the judge decide who is responsible for what. Now that a contact for Mr. Weinbach has been established, I am hereby informing him that he also needs to address the situation at Carolina Beach Village, for which he is also the permittee, and for which several violations and unanswered inspection reports exist. The issues there are similar to what has occurred at Beachwalk. The project was not constructed in accordance with the approved plans, has not been certified by the designer, and the permit has not been legally transferred to the HOA. I have attached copies of all those letters. Sincerely, Linda Lewis Environmental Engineer RSS\arl: S:\WQS\STORMWAnLETTERS\960518.AUG CC' Linda Lewis David S. Hollis, P.E. Dawning Creek/Whispering Pines: Permittee built two neighboring subdivisions several years apart. Pond certified for Dawning Creek (older subdivision) was modified to accept drainage from Whispering Pines (new one). Owner was HOA president for Dawning Creek and signed paperwork to allow this. The SW certification/perni t was never officially transferred to the HOA, but all the legal transfers of common area did occur, per the covenants and restrictions. Now, Dawning Creek wants Whispering Pines to help pay for the pond maintenance. Typical case of a subdivision whose permittee never transferred SW permit to HOA, and never made necessary financial arrangements to get Whispering Pines to pay for their share of maintenance.

HILL, II (1931.2001) This will confirm receipt of your correspondence of March 8, 2002 addressed to my attention regarding ownership/compliance issues with respect to the Beachwalk @ Kure Beach under Stonnwater Project Number SW8-960518. In addition, I have reviewed a copy of your correspondence dated June 28, 2001 to our client, Mr. Bob Weinbach, as well as Mr. Bill Lynch's reply correspondence dated August 7, 2001. In reviewing both of your aforementioned letters, it seems the issues addressed by the Division of Water Quality and/or DNER are limited to ownership and/or compliance as there are no allegations in either of your letters on behalf of the Division of Water Quality and/or DENR with respect to the drainage and grading plans. I note in your March 8, 2002 correspondence that the HOA is questioning whether the approved drainage and grading plans were followed. Mr. Weinbach contends that the drainage and grading plans were followed as evidenced in the attached certification of Mr. David Hollis as well as by the fact that the project was approved by the Town of Kure Beach engineer, Mr. David Criser. I anticipate l will be in receipt of the approved final drainage and grading plans early this week and we will promptly provide you with a copy. Your correspondence of March 8, 2002, also indicates that homeowners are alleging that stockpile material may be blocking drainage and that Mr. Weinbach perfonmed no maintenance on the system while he was on site. As I have not had an opportunity to make an onsite inspection with our engineer, Mr. Davis Hollis, I aln not able to respond to the allegation that the stockpile material may be blocking drainage. ]however, Mr. Weinbach maintains that he performed maintenance on the system while he was on site and has neither caused nor contributed to material being stockpiled. More importantly, Mr. Weinbach has authorized me to contact the homeowners you identify in your correspondence (Mr. Tim Fuller and Mr, Dean Lambeth) in addition to the property manager, Mr. Bob McCoy, to discuss any concerns the homeowners and/or HOA may have. In addition, I will be meeting with Mr. Weinbach's prior attorney, Mr. Ned Barnes, to discuss the negotiations between Mr. Weinbach and the Homeowner's Association with respect to transfering the common areas and PPR 08 '02 04:37PM HHJNL P.3 maintenance of the common areas, It is my understanding that a deed transfer in the common areas (including the detention ponds) was tendered to Mr. McCoy some time ago and that the HOA has not recorded the Deed. I anticipate speaking with Mr. Fuller, Mr. Lambeth, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Barnes within the next three weeks. Further, I will be inspecting the ponds with Mr. Weinbach's engineer, Mr. Hollis, within the same time frame. As a result, I respectfully request that the Division of Water Quality refrain from the initiation of enforcement action until I have supplemented this correspondence which will be done by Monday, April 29, 2002. 1 sincerely appreciate your cooperation and ask that you please contact me should you have any questions or if I can be of assistance in any way.

During the course of our conversation, we reviewed in detail the demands of the HOA (many of which we believe do not pertain to the system) as well as the demand presented by the HOA that the system be re -certified before the HOA will agree to accept transfer of the Permit. In the course of our conversation you advised that the pond must be re -certified in order for your office to approve transfer, even though the pond has been certified by Mr. David Hollis. Following our most recent conversation, I contacted Mr. Hollis to inquire as to his availability for inspection of the system. During the course of my conversation with Mr. Hollis we reviewed his involvement to date. The original Permit Application was approved on September 9, 1996 and included consideration for storm water runoff from Kure Dunes (specifically accounting for 4.5 acres at 70% impervious). Thereafter, Mr. Hollis inspected the storm water drainage system for certification and discovered that the system, as constructed, could not be certified due to minor deviations from the approved plans. Working with your office, Mr. Weinbach applied for a Modification Permit using the as -built plans. The Modification Permit was granted on April 6, 1998. Thereafter, Mr. Hollis certified the storm water drainage system on April 13, 1998. It is Mr. Hollis' position, based on my recent conversations with him over the last two days, that both the modification and storm water runoff from Kure Dunes were considered in his certification. As we discussed, Mr. Weinbach is prepared to incur the expense associated with performing the tasks requested by the HOA which include: Ms. Linda Lewis August 6, 2002 Page 2 (1) filling a small area on the eastern bank of the drainage ditch near the southernmost point of the drainage system and covering the dirt with sod; (2) sodding a roughly 90 feet by 5 feet bank on the western side of the southernmost drainage ditch; (3) removing sediment buildup in the drainage ditch between the northern pond and the southern pond. Mr. Weinbach will have this done by hand in order to minimize the effect on the landscaping of the adjacent homes; and (4) removal of a large amount of dirt on the common area adjacent to the northern boundary. Following removal of the dirt, Mr. Weinbach will grade and seed the area. The removal of dirt has already begun. In exchange for Mr. Weinbach completing the aforementioned tasks, he has requested that the HOA assume transfer of the Permit. Therefore, the remaining issue is whether the system must be re -certified in order to gain approval of your office. I ask that you please review your file as well as the enclosed documents and provide me with your opinion as to whether re -certification is necessary. I have enclosed a copy of pertinent documents from my file including both the original Application and resulting Permit dated September 9, 1996; Modification Application and resulting Permit dated April 6, 1998; April 13, 1998 Certification; and pertinent correspondence. I previously forwarded to your attention, via hand delivery on April 24, 2002, a copy of the Certified As -Built Blueprints. I sincerely appreciate your cooperation and look forward to hearing from you. Very truly yours, G.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office August 19, 2002 Subject: Pond Re -certification Beachwalk @Kure Beach Stormwater Project No. SW8 960518 New Hanover County Iam in receipt your letter of August 6, 2002, on behalf of your client, Bob Weinbach, regarding the Beachwalk pond re -certification. After much discussion with you, the homeowners, and input from Central Office staff, it appears to me that the homeowners main issue revolves around the uncertainty of the pond's depth. If this is the pivotal issue, then it would be in your client's best interest to have the pond's depth checked by a disinterested third party. A full re -certification is not necessary, since all other permitted requirements of the pond design have been verified as provided by the engineer prior to the most recent modification in 1998. Once the depth is checked, and assuming it needs to be cleaned out, it will be up to Mr. Weinbach and the homeowners to negotiate the terms for who will pay for what. Both sides need to acknowledge their parts in creating this situation. The homeowners need to be aware that they have enjoyed the use of this pond since 1996. Mr. Weinbach needs to remember that he violated his permit by not submitting a formal request to the Division to transfer the permit to the HOA. The fact that the Kure Dunes homeowners will not be contributing to the cost of maintaining the pond that they enjoy the benefit of does not sit well, but I am here only to protect surface waters from stormwater runoff pollution, not to negotiate a deal-Pll leave that to you. i encourage both parties to sit down and reach a reasonable compromise rather than point fingers and assign blame. Due to the extended time frame that has resulted from this standoff,1 any forced to place a time limit on reaching a compromise before I initiate additional enforcement action. Please get this resolved prior to October 19, 2002. Ed, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you, and I look forward to the equitable resolution of this situation in the near future. Upon satisfactory resolution, please forward all the necessary paperwork to my office for processing.

Dear Ms. Lewis: Several months ago, you were gracious enough to spend some time with Mr. Dean Lambeth and me discussing the permits for the retention ponds at Beachwalk. Since that meeting, there has been correspondence between your office and the developer of Beachwalk concerning transfer of the permit for the ponds. Our last conversation was that you had referred the matter to the Attomey General's office for review and comment. There is a Beachwalk Homeowner's Association meeting Saturday, October 20 and I would like to be able to update the homeowner's on the status of the pond permits. Please take a few minutes to call or fax me with the latest information mi this matter. My phone number is 458-6900. My fax ntunber is 458-5122.

C. 28449 cc: Dean Lambeth P.01 Maintenance responsibility Subject: Maintenance responsibility Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 12:45:04 -0400 From: Linda Lewis <Linda.Lewis@ncmail.net> Organization: NC DENR To: Bradley Bennett <Bradley.Bennett@ncmail.net>, Jill Hickey <jhickey@mail jus.state.nc.us> Dear Bradley: We permitted a wet pond back in 1998. The permittee basically walked away and left the HOA with the maintenance responsibility. No transfer of ownership was done for the permit, but the permittee noted on the approved plans that the HOA would be responsible for the common areas. The lawyer for the permittee says that the NC Planned Community Act (NCGS 47F-3-107) placed the obligation to maintain common facilites on the HOA. The lawyer says the statute does not require a name/ownerhip change form or any permit transfer to occur before the HOA is obliged to operate and maintain the common areas. He wants to know our authority to "contravene" the Planned Community Act and where in any NCAC section does it require a name/ownership change form to be signed by an officer of the HOA in order for the developer to be relieved from maintenance responsibility. You may remember, we were having problems in the past with developers signing as the president of the HOA, we would transfer the permit to the HOA, but the HOA still had no idea what it had gotton into when the developer turned over everything. We never got names changes or transfers of ownerships. When we did an inspection and had a laundry list of compliance issues, the HOA usually didn't have a clue that they were responsible for the pond. In order to prevent these problems, we issued permits only to developers, and required that the subdivison be 50% built -out, or that the developer no longer have the controlling interest, and that an officer in the HOA sign the transfer or ownership so we could be assured that they understood what is was they were taking over. Our efforts to make sure our permitted faciliites are being maintained are being questioned for their legality.

The letter states that several events have occurred which require my client's immediate attention. We would appreciate knowing to what events you are referring. You are correct in your understanding that Mr. Weinbach is not now associated with the project. He has sold all lots and transferred all common area, including retention ponds, to the homeowners' association. Your letter states that Section III, Part 1 of the permit does not allow its transfer without completion of a name/ownership change form. We would like a copy of the form. However, no one with the homeowners' association will agree to sign the form. Your letter further states that until the name/ownership change form is approved, legal responsibility for maintaining the pond remains with my client. There is nothing in Section III, Part 1 of the permit which requires my client to be responsible for AUG 07 '01 11:44AM HHJNL P.3 Ms. Linda Lewis Page 2 maintenance of the pond after it has transferred title to the HOA. Indeed, he has no right of access over their property to perform any maintenance. The North Carolina Planned Community Act (specifically N.C.G.S. 47F-3-107) places the obligation for operation and maintenance of common facilities upon the HOA for each planned community, The statutory provision does not require that a name/ ownership change form or any permit transfer occur before the obligation of the HOA to operate and maintain common areas is imposed by statute. I can find nothing in 15A N.C.A.C. 2.1-1.1001, et sec. to contradict the Planned Community Act or to otherwise attempt to place responsibility on a developer until any officer or other representative of an HOA signs a name/ownership change form. Based on the foregoing comments, my last questions are: On what authority @ can DENR contravene by regulation or permit terms the provisions of the Planned Community Act which clearly places responsibility for pond maintenance on HOA's, and (ii) where in Chapter 143 or any applicable provisions of the North Carolina Administrative Code is it required that an ownership/name change form be signed by an officer of an HOA in order for the developer to be relieved from maintenance responsibility. Please cull if you have any questions. Very truly yours, William 0, J.

The modification was issued to allow for the runoff from Inure Dunes to be treated in the wet detention pond approved for Beachwalk. Since 'that time, several events have occurred which. require your immediate attention. It is my understanding that you are no'longer associated with this project. Per the requirements of Section III, Part 1 of your permit, a name/ownership change form must be completed and submitted along with other supporting documentation in order to transfer the permit and maintenance responsibility to the Homeowner's Association. Until this is done, you will remain legally responsible for maintaining the pond and the project in compliance with the permit conditions. The Division is requesting that you meet with the HOA and resolve any outstanding issues with them, complete the appropriate form to transfer the permit and submit it along with the required supporting documentation. Once the site is determined to be compliance, the permit will be transferred. Please respond to this letter by July 28, 2.001. Failure to respond by the due date will result in the initiation of enforcement action, which may include recommendations for the assessment of civil penalties, pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 395-3900.
