Governor Director April 9, 2012 Mr. Glenn Jernigan Fay Partners, LLC 5011 Cumberland Rd Fayetteville, NC 28306 Subject: Stormwater Permit No. SW6120203 Southview Section 9 High Density Subdivision Sand Filter Cumberland County Dear Mr. Jernigan: Dee Freeman Secretary The Stormwater Permitting Unit received a complete Stormwater Management Permit Application for Southview Section 9 on March 30, 2012 after requesting additional information on March 6, 2012 and March 26, 2012. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and Session Law 2006-246. We are forwarding Permit No. SW6120103, dated April 9, 2012, for the construction, operation and maintenance of the subject project and the stormwater BMPs. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency permit that may be required. Please pay special attention to the conditions listed in this permit regarding the Operation and Maintenance of the BMP(s), recordation of deed restrictions, procedures for changes of ownership, transferring the permit, and renewing the permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system, to record deed restrictions, to follow the procedures for transfer of the permit, or to renew the permit, will result in future compliance problems. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding. This project will be kept on file at the Fayetteville Regional Office.

Please submit this Designer's Certification to: Fayetteville Regional Office Surface Water Protection 225 Green Street Systel Building Suite 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301 Page 6 of 6 Here are questions I have when we speak with the Fayetteville Regional Office folks: 1. Did we get the green card back so we can document when the 30 day period commenced? If we did not, when did the angry lawyer call? We can date it from that — we need the recipient of the call (I assume that was Mike) to summarize it in a memo or email, along with the date the call occurred. We have not yet received the green card, however the USPS website shows delivery on 4/9/15 at 12:16pm. I received phone call from Mr. Holden Reaves (attorney) on 4/9/15 around 1:45pm. To summarize the call, Mr. Reaves immediately identified himself as an attorney and that he had been provided a copy of the NOV by the permittee (Mr. Glenn Jernigan). Mr. Reaves claimed that he had had conversations with Lori Britt (LQS inspector) concerning the sediment basin and that she said they could leave the basin as is and not convert it to the sand filter (as permitted by Stormwater Management Permit SW6120203) and the file would be closed out. I relayed to Mr. Reaves that she was likely referring to the erosion control plan file and not the Stormwater Permit, which requires installation and maintenance of a Sand Filter BMP per the approved plans/permit and stays in effect indefinitely. Mr. Reaves was adamant that she told him otherwise and claimed he had documentation about such conversation. I asked him to provide any such documentation, which as of today (4/10/15) he has not. Mr. Reaves also relayed that the subdivision's covenants had been revised to turn things over to the HOA and that the developer no longer had the funds to convert the basin to the permitted sand filter. Mr. Reaves was very frustrated that the NOV was issued for non-compliance with the Stormwater Permit and threatened litigation. After some further discussion during the same phone call, Mr. Reaves requested a meeting to discuss the issues. I also relayed to Mr. Reaves that the Stormwater Permit is not transferrable to another party (i.e. HOA) until a properly executed Ownership Change Form, signed and notarized by both parties, is submitted to our office for review/approval and that until such time the permittee (Fay Partners, LLC/Glenn Jernigan) is responsible for compliance/operation & maintenance. 2. Looks like this permit was issued in 2012. Have the stormwater folks inspected prior to that time? How many times did the sedimentation folks inspected? Can we can copies of their inspection reports? Are Stormwater and sedimentation staff the same people? I conducted the state stormwater compliance inspection on 3-31-15, which was the first/only one. Lori Britt conducted 3 sedimentation inspections on 8-24-12, 6-26-14 and 8-6-14. The sedimentation inspection on 8-6-14 resulted in closeout of the erosion control plan. Please see attached copies of the 3 sedimentation inspection reports. 3. Do we know the status of Fay Partners LLC? Are they still afloat? Have they dissolved since completing the project (as LLCs often do)? According to the Secretary of State website, Fay Partners LLC is listed as Current -Active and submitted an Annual Report for 2015. Copy of Annual Report is attached. Craig A.
