The personal obligation for delinquent Assessments shall not pass to the Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. SECTION 2. Purpose of Annual Assessments. The Annual Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation,health,safety and welfare of the Owners and residents of the Property and Additional Property and for the maintenance,repair and replacement of the Common Elements and any Limited Common Elements. The funds arising from said assessments or charges,may be used for any or all of the following purposes: Operations,maintenance and improvement of the Common Elements,and any Limited Common Elements,including payment of utilities;enforcing this Declaration;paying taxes,insurance premiums,legal and accounting fees and governmen- tal charges;establishing working capital;paying dues and assessments to any organization or master association of which the Association is a member;and in addition,doing any other things necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Association to keep the Common Elements and Limited Common Elements in good operating order and repair. SECTION 3. Annual Assessments. At least 60 days before the beginning of each calendar year,the Executive Board shall establish a proposed operations and maintenance budget for the calendar year. If the amount of the budget does not exceed the prior years budget by over 10 percent, then the budget shall become final without approval of the members. If the budget exceeds the prior year's budget by 10 percent, then within 30 days after adoption of the proposed budget for the Planned Community,the Executive Board shall provide to all of the Lot Owners a summary of the budget and notice of a meeting to consider its ratification,including a statement that the budget may be ratified without a quorum. The budget is ratified unless at the meeting a majority of all of the Lot Owners in the Association rejects the budget. In the event the proposed budget is rejected,the periodic budget last ratified by the Lot Owners shall be continued until such time as the Lot Owners ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the Executive Board. The budget thus established shall be the Annual Budget. The Annual Assessment for each Lot shall be that percentage of the Annual Budget arrived at by dividing the square footage within the Lot by the total square footage of all Lots within the Development. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the first Annual Assessment shall be set by the Declarant prior to the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner. The due date for payment shall be established by the Executive Board. The Executive Board shall have the authority to require the assessments to be paid in periodic installments. The Association shall,upon demand,and for a reasonable charge furnish a certificate signed • 5\WOJL\Wesl4li ParkVectaralion2.wpd•vms • f:.,•,w.?• - .. • BOCK PAGE 2608 0037 by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid. SECTION 4. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the Annual Assessments authorized above,the Association may levy,in any assessment year, a Special Assessment applicable to the year only for the purpose of defraying,in whole or in part,the cost of any construction, reconstruction, repair or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Elements and any Limited Common Elements,including fixtures and personal property related thereto,provided that any such assessment shall have the assent of a majority of the Members of each class who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose. SECTION 5. Rate of Assessment.The Association may differentiate in the amount of Assessments charged when a reasonable basis for distinction exists,such as between vacant Lots of record and Lots of record with completed structures for which certificates of occupancy have been issued by the appropriate governmental authority,or when any other substantial difference as a ground of distinction exists between Lots. However, Assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots similarly situated. SECTION 6. Commencement of Assessments. Assessments for each Lot shall commence upon the date of acceptance by an Owner of a deed from Declarant. SECTION 7. Effect Of Nonpayment 9f Assessments And Remedies Of The Association. Any Assessment or installment thereof not paid within thirty(30)days after the due date shall bear interest from the due date at the highest rate allowable by law.The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same,or foreclose the lien against the Owner's Lot. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Elements or abandonment of his Lot. All unpaid Installment payments of Assessments shall become immediately due and payable if an Owner fails to pay any installment within the time permitted. The Association may also establish and collect late fees for delinquent installments. SECTION 8. Lien for Assessments. The Association may file a lien against a Lot when any Assessment levied against said Lot remains unpaid for a period of 30 days or longer. (a)The lien shall constitute a lien against the Lot when and after the claim of lien is filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Lot is located. The Association may foreclose the claim of lien in like manner as a mortgage on real estate under power of sale under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General 8 S1WO1L1Westfall ParklOeWrallan2.wpbvm6 BOOK PAGE 2698 0038 Statutes. Fees,charges,late charges,fines,interest,and other charges imposed pursuant to this Declaration are enforceable as Assessments. (b)The lien under this section shall be prior to aii liens and encumbrances on a Lot except(i)liens and encumbrances (specifically including, but not limited to, a mortgage or deed of trust on the Lot)recorded before the docketing of the claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court, and (ii) liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments and charges against the Lot. (c)The lien for unpaid assessments is extinguished unless proceedings to enforce the tax lien are instituted within three years after the docketing of the claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court. (d)Any judgment,decree,or order in any action brought under this section shall include costs and reasonable attorneys'fees for the prevailing party. (e)Where the holder of a first mortgage or deed of trust of record,or other purchaser of a Lot obtains title to the Lot as a result of foreclosure of a first mortgage or first deed of trust,such purchaser and its heirs,successors and assigns shall not be liable for the Assessments against the Lot which became due prior to the acquisition of title to the Lot by such purchaser. The unpaid Assessments shall be deemed to be Common Expenses collectible from all of the Lot Owners including such purchaser, its heirs, successors and assigns. (f)A claim of lien shall set forth the name and address of the Association,the name of the record Owner of the Lot at the time the claim of lien is filed,a description of the Lot,and the amount of the lien claimed.

CESAW Form 591 Revised July 1995 NATIONWIDE PERMIT 39 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS FINAL NOTICE OF ISSUANCE AND MODIFICATION OF NATIONWIDE PERMITS FEDERAL REGISTER MARCH 9, 2000 Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Developments. Discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal waters of the United States, excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal ,yaaters, for the construction or expansion of residential, commercial, and institutional building foundations and building pads and attendant features that are necessary for the use and maintenance of the structures . Attendant features may include, but are not limited to, roads, parking lots, garages, yards, utility lines, stormwater management facilities, and recreation facilities such as playgrounds, playing fields, and golf courses (provided the golf course is an integral part of the residential development) . The construction of new ski areas or oil and gas wells is not authorized by this NWP. Residential developments include multiple and single unit developments . Examples of commercial developments include retail stores, industrial facilities, restaurants, business parks, and shopping centers . Examples of institutional developments include schools, fire stations, government office buildings, judicial buildings, public works buildings, libraries, hospitals, and places of worship. The activities listed above are authorized, provided the activities meet all of the following criteria : a. The discharge does not cause the loss of greater than \1/2\ acre of non-tidal waters of the United States, excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters; b. The discharge does not cause the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of stream bed; c. The permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13 , if any of the following criteria are met : (1) The discharge causes the loss of greater than \i/10\ acre of non-tidal waters of the United States, excluding non- tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters; or (2) The discharge causes the loss of any open waters, including perennial or intermittent streams, below the ordinary high water mark (see Note, below) . d. For discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites; e . The discharge is part of a single and complete project; f . The permittee must avoid and minimize discharges into waters of the United States at the project site to the maximum extent practicable, and the notification, when required, must include a written statement explaining how avoidance and minimization of losses of waters of the United States were achieved on the project site . Compensatory mitigation will normally be required to offset the losses of waters of the United States . (See General Condition 19 . ) The notification must also include a compensatory mitigation proposal for offsetting unavoidable losses of waters of the United States . If an applicant asserts that the adverse effects of the project are minimal without mitigation, then the applicant may submit justification explaining why compensatory mitigation should not be required for the District Engineer ' s consideration; g. When this NWP is used in conjunction with any other NWP, any combined total permanent loss of waters of the United States exceeding \1/10\ acre requires that the permittee notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13 ; h. Any work authorized by this NWP must not cause more than minimal degradation of water quality or more than minimal changes to the flow characteristics of any stream (see General Conditions 9 and 21) ; i . For discharges causing the loss of \1/10\ acre or less of waters of the United States, the permittee must submit a report, within 30 days of completion of the work, to the District Engineer that contains the following information: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the permittee; (2) The location of the work; (3) A description of the work; (4) The type and acreage of the loss of waters of the United States (e .g. , \1/12\ acre of emergent wetlands) ; and (5) The type and acreage of any compensatory mitigation used to offset the loss of waters of the United States (e .g. , \1/12\ acre of emergent wetlands created on-site) ; j . If there are any open waters or streams within the project area, the permittee will establish and maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, wetland or upland vegetated buffers next to those open waters or streams consistent with General Condition 19 . Deed restrictions, conservation easements, protective covenants, or other means of land conservation and preservation are required to protect and maintain the vegetated buffers established on the project site; and k. Stream channelization or stream relocation downstream of the point on the stream where the annual average flow is 1 cubic foot per second is not authorized by this NWP. Only residential, commercial, and institutional activities with structures on the foundation (s) or building pad(s) , as well as the attendant features, are authorized by this NWP. The compensatory mitigation proposal required in paragraph (f) of this NWP may be either conceptual or detailed. The wetland or upland vegetated buffer required in paragraph (j ) of this NWP will normally be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream°, but the District Engineer may require wider vegetated buffers to address documented water quality concerns . The required wetland or upland vegetated buffer is part of the overall compensatory mitigation requirement for this NWP. If the project site was previously used for agricultural purposes and the farm owner/operator used NWP 40 to authorize activities in waters of the United States to increase production or construct farm buildings, NWP 39 cannot be used by the developer to authorize additional activities in waters of the United States on the project site in excess of the acreage limit for NWP 39 (i .e . , the combined acreage loss authorized under NWPs 39 and 40 cannot exceed \1/2\ acre) . Subdivisions : For any real estate subdivision created or subdivided after October 5, 1984, a notification pursuant to paragraph (c) of this NWP is required for any discharge which would cause the aggregate total loss of waters of the United States for the entire subdivision to exceed \1/10\ acre . Any discharge in any real estate subdivision which would cause the aggregate total loss of waters of the United States in the subdivision to exceed \1/2\ acre is not authorized by this NWP, unless the District Engineer exempts a particular subdivision or parcel by making a written determination that the individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects would be minimal and the property owner had, after October 5, 1984, but prior to July 21, 1999, committed substantial resources in reliance on NWP 26 with regard to a subdivision, in circumstances where it would be inequitable to frustrate the property owner' s investment-backed expectations . Once the exemption is established for a subdivision, subsequent lot development by individual property owners may proceed using NWP 39 . For the purposes of NWP 39, the term "real estate subdivision" shall be interpreted to include circumstances where a landowner or developer divides a tract of land into smaller parcels for the purpose of selling, conveying, transferring, leasing, or developing said parcels . This would include the entire area of a residential, commercial, or other real estate subdivision, including all parcels and parts thereof . (Sections 10 and 404) • Note: Areas where there is no wetland vegetation are determined by the presence or absence of an ordinary high water mark or bed and bank. Areas that are waters of the United States based on this criteria would require a PCN even though water is infrequently present in the stream channel (except for ephemeral waters) . Regulatory Program of the US Army Corps of Engineers Part 330 - Nationwide Permit Program Final Notice of Issuance, Reissuance, and Modification of Nationwide Permits ° March 9, 2000 C. Nationwide Permit General Conditions The following general conditions must be followed in order for any authorization by an NWP to be valid: 1. Navigation. No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation. 2. Proper Maintenance. Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly maintained, including maintenance to ensure public safety. 3. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as well as any work below the ordinary high water mark or high tide line, must be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. 4. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. Culverts placed in streams must be installed to maintain low flow conditions. 5. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance. 6. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions which may have been added by the division engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with any case specific conditions added by the Corps or by the State or tribe in its Section 401 water quality certification and Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination. 7. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System; or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system, while the river is in an official study status; unless the appropriate Federal agency, with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation, or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency in the area (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). 8. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to, reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights. 9. Water Quality. (a) In certain States and tribal lands an individual 401 water quality certification must be obtained or waived (See 33 CFR 330.4(c)). (b) For NWPs 12, 14, 17, 18, 32, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44, where the State or tribal 401 certification (either generically or individually) does not require or approve a water quality management plan, the permittee must include design criteria and techniques that will ensure that the authorized work does not result in more than minimal degradation of water quality. An important component of a water quality management plan includes stormwater management that minimizes degradation of the downstream aquatic system, including water quality. Refer to General Condition 21 for stormwater management requirements. Another important component of a water quality management plan is the establishment and maintenance of vegetated buffers next to open waters, including streams. Refer to General Condition 19 for vegetated buffer requirements for the NWPs. 10. Coastal Zone Management. In certain states, an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence must be obtained or waived (see Section 330.4(d)). 11. Endangered Species. (a) No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal ndangered Species Act, or which will destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-federal permittees shall notify the District Engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or is located in the designated critical habitat and shall not begin work on the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that may affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat, the notification must include the name(s) of the endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. As a result of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS, the District Engineer may add species-specific regional endangered species conditions to the NWPs. (b) Authorization of an activity by a nationwide permit does not authorize the "take" of a threatened or endangered species as defined under the Federal Endangered Species Act. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service, both lethal and non-lethal "takes" of protected species are in violation of the Endangered Species Act. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service or their world wide web pages at http:i/www.fws.aov/r9endspp/endspp.html and http://www.nfms.gov/prot_res/esahome.html, respectively. 12. Historic Properties. No activity which may affect historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register- of Historic Places is authorized, until the DE has complied with the provisions of 33 CFR part 325, Appendix C. The prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer- if the authorized activity may affect any historic properties listed, determined to be eligible, or which the prospective permittee has reason to believe may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, and shall not begin the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location and existence of historic resources can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Register of Historic Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). For activities that may affect historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places, the notification must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. 13. Notification. (a) Timing: Where required by the terms of the NWP, the prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer with a preconstruction notification (PCN) as early as possible. The District Engineer must determine if the PCN is complete within 30 days of the date of receipt and can request the additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. However, if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the District Engineer will notify the prospective permittee that the PCN is still incomplete and the PCN review process will not commence until all of the requested information has been received by the District Engineer. The prospective permittee shall not begin the activity: (1) Until notified in writing by the District Engineer that the activity may proceed under the NWP with any special conditions imposed by the District or Division Engineer; or (2) If notified in writing by the District or Division Engineer that an individual permit is required; or (3) Unless 45 days have passed from the District Engineer's receipt of the complete notification and the prospective permittee has not received written notice from the District or Division Engineer. Subsequently, the permittee's right to proceed under the NWP may be modified, suspended, or revoked only in accordance with the procedure set forth in 33 CFR 330.5(d)(2). (b) Contents of Notification: The notification must be in writing and include the following information: (1) Name, address, and telephone numbers of the prospective permittee; (2) Location of the proposed project; (3) Brief description of the proposed project; the project's purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmental effects the project would cause; any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any related activity; and (4) For NWPs 7, 12, 14, 18, 21, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, and 43, the PCN must also include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands, vegetated shallows (e.g., submerged aquatic vegetation, seagrass beds), and riffle and pool complexes (see paragraph 13(t)); (5) For NWP 7, Outfall Structures and Maintenance, the PCN must include information regarding the original design capacities and configurations of those areas of the facility where maintenance dredging or excavation is proposed. (6) For NWP 14, Linear Transportation Crossings, the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset permanent losses of waters of the United States and a statement describing how temporary losses of waters of the United States will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. (7) For NWP 21, Surface Coal Mining Activities, the PCN must include an Office of Surface Mining (OSM) or state-approved mitigation plan. (8) For NWP 27, Stream and Wetland Restoration, the PCN must include documentation of the prior condition of the site that will be reverted by the permittee. (9) For NWP 29, Single-Family Housing, the PCN must also include: (i) Any past use of this NWP by the individual permittee and/or the permittee's spouse; (ii) A statement that the single-family housing activity is for a personal residence of the permittee; (iii) A description of the entire parcel, including its size, and a delineation of wetlands. For the purpose of this NWP, parcels of land measuring 1/4 acre or less will not require a formal on-site delineation. However, the applicant shall provide an indication of where the wetlands are and the amount of wetlands that exists on the property. For parcels greater than 1/4 acre in size, a formal wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. (See paragraph 13(f)); (iv) A written description of all land (including, if available, legal descriptions) owned by the prospective permittee and/or the prospective permittee's spouse, within a one mile radius of the parcel, in any form of ownership (including any land owned as a partner, corporation,joint tenant, co-tenant, or as a tenant-by-the-entirety) and any land.on which a purchase and sale agreement or other contract for sale or purchase has been executed; (10) For NWP 31, Maintenance of Existing Flood Control Projects, the prospective permittee must either notify the District Engineer with a PCN prior to each maintenance activity or submit a five year (or less) maintenance plan. In addition, the PCN must include all of the following: (i) Sufficient baseline information so as to identify the approved channel depths and configurations and existing facilities. Minor deviations are authorized, provided the approved flood control protection or drainage is not increased; (ii) A delineation of any affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands; and, (iii) Location of the dredged material disposal site. ( 11) For NWP 33, Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering, the PCN must also include a restoration plan of reasonable measures to avoid and minimize adverse effects to aquatic resources. (12) For NWPs 39, 43, and 44, the PCN must also include a written statement to the District Engineer explaining how avoidance and minimization of losses of waters of the United States were achieved on the project site. (13) For NWP 39, Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Developments,and NWP 42, Recreational Facilities, the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal that offsets unavoidable losses of waters of the United States or justification explaining why compensatory mitigation should not be required. (14) For NWP 40, Agricultural Activities, the PCN must include a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the United States. (15) For NWP 43, Stormwater Management Facilities, the PCN must include, for the construction of new stormwater management facilities, a maintenance plan (in accordance with State and local requirements, if applicable) and a compensatory mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the United States. (16) For NWP 44, Mining Activities, the PCN must include a description of all waters of the United States adversely affected by the project, a description of measures taken to minimize adverse effects to waters of the United States, a description of measures taken to comply with the criteria of the NWP, and a reclamation plan (for aggregate mining activities in isolated waters and non-tidal wetlands adjacent to headwaters and any hard rock/mineral mining activities). (17) For activities that may adversely affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species, the PCN must include the name(s) of those endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. (18) For activities that may affect historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places, the PCN must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property. (19) For NWPs 12, 14, 29, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44, where the proposed work involves discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States resulting in permanent, above-grade tills within 100-year floodplains (as identified on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FEMA- approved local floodplain maps), the notification must include documentation demonstrating that the proposed work complies with the appropriate FEMA or FEMA- approved local floodplain construction requirements. (c) Form of Notification: The standard individual permit application form (Form ENG 4345) may be used as the notification but must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must include all of the information required in (b) (l)-(19) of General Condition 13. A letter containing the requisite information may also be used. (d) District Engineer's Decision: In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the District Engineer will determine whether the activity authorized by the NWP will result in more than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the public interest. The prospective permittee may, optionally, submit a proposed mitigation plan with the PCN to expedite the process and the District Engineer will consider any proposed compensatory mitigation the applicant has included in the proposal in determining whether the net adverse environmental effects to the aquatic environment of the proposed work are minimal. If the District Engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions of the NWP and that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, the District Engineer will notify the permittee and include any conditions the District Engineer deems necessary. Any compensatory mitigation proposal must be approved by the District Engineer prior to commencing work. If the prospective permittee is required to submit a compensatory mitigation proposal with the PCN, the proposal may be either conceptual or detailed. If the prospective permittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan with the PCN, the District Engineer will expeditiously review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan. The District Engineer must review the plan within 45 days of receiving a complete PCN and determine whether the conceptual or specific proposed mitigation would ensure no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. If the net adverse effects of the project on the aquatic environment (after consideration of the compensatory mitigation proposal) are determined by the District Engineer to be minimal, the District Engineer will provide a timely written response to the applicant stating that the project can proceed under the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit. If the District Engineer determines that the adverse effects of the proposed work are more than minimal, then he will notify the applicant either: (I) That the project does not qualify for authorization under the NWP and instruct the applicant on the procedures to seek authorization under an individual permit; (2) that the project is authorized under the NWP subject to the applicant's submission of a mitigation proposal that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level; or (3) that the project is authorized under the NWP with specific modifications or conditions. Where the District Engineer determines that mitigation is required in order to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment, the activity will be authorized within the 45-day PCN period, including the necessary conceptual or specific mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation proposal that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level. When conceptual mitigation is included, or a mitigation plan is required under item (2) above, no work in waters of the United States will occur until the District Engineer has approved a specific mitigation plan. (e) Agency Coordination: The District Engineer will consider any comments from Federal and State agencies concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and conditions of the NWPs and the need for mitigation to reduce the project's adverse effects on the aquatic environment to a minimal level. For activities requiring notification to the District Engineer that result in the loss of greater than 1/2 acre of waters of the United States, the District Engineer will, upon receipt of a notification, provide immediately (e.g., via facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner), a copy to the appropriate offices of the Fish and Wildlife Service, State natural resource or water quality agency, EPA, State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and, if appropriate, the National Marine Fisheries Service. With the exception of NWP 37, these agencies will then have 10 calendar days from the date the material is transmitted to telephone or fax the District Engineer notice that they intend to provide substantive, site- specific comments. If so contacted by an agency, the District Engineer will wait an additional 15 calendar days before making a decision on the notification. The District Engineer will fully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame, but will provide no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. The District Engineer will indicate in the administrative record associated with each notification that the resource agencies' concerns were considered. As required by Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the District Engineer will provide a response to National Marine Fisheries Service within 30 days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations. Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of notifications to expedite agency notification. (f) Wetlands Delineations: Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the current method required by the Corps. For NWP 29 see paragraph (b)(9)(iii) for parcels less than 1/4 acre in size. The permittee may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic site. There may be some delay if the Corps does the delineation. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not start until the wetland delineation has been completed and submitted to the Corps, where appropriate. 14. Compliance Certification. Every permittee who has received a Nationwide permit verification from the Corps will submit a signed certification regarding the completed work and any required mitigation. The certification will be forwarded by the Corps with the authorization letter. The certification will include: (a) A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the Corps authorization, including any general or specific conditions; (b) A statement that any required mitigation was completed in accordance with the permit conditions; and (c) The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of the work and mitigation. 15. Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and complete project is prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the United States authorized by the NWPs does not exceed the acreage limit of the NWP with the highest specified acreage limit. For example, if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under NWP14, with associated bank stabilization authorized by NWP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters of the United States for the total project cannot exceed 1/3 acre. 16. Water Supply Intakes. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of the United States or discharges of dredged or fill material, may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake except where the activity is for repair of the public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank stabilization. 17. Shellfish Beds. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of the United States or discharges of dredged or fill material, may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish populations, unless the activity is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by NWP 4. 18. Suitable Material. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of the United States or discharges of dredged or till material, may consist of unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.) and material used forconstruction or discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see Section 307 of the Clean Water Act). 19. Mitigation. The project must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site). Mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. The District Engineer will consider the factors discussed below when determining the acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation necessary to offset adverse effects on the aquatic environment that are more than minimal. (a) Compensatory mitigation at a minimum 1 : 1 ratio will be required for all wetland impacts requiring a PCN. Consistent with National policy, the District Engineer will establish a preference for restoration of wetlands to meet the minimum compensatory mitigation ratio, with preservation used only in exceptional circumstances. (b) To be practicable, the mitigation must be available and capable of being done considering costs, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing. or preserving similar functions and values, preferably in the same watershed; (c) The District Engineer will require restoration, creation, enhancement, or preservation of other aquatic resources in order to offset the authorized impacts to the extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal. An important element of any compensatory mitigation plan for projects in or near streams or other open waters is the establishment and maintenance, to the maximum extent practicable, of vegetated buffers next to open waters on the project site. The vegetated buffer should consist of native species. The District Engineer will determine the appropriate width of the vegetated buffer and in which cases it will be required. Normally, the vegetated buffer will be 25 to 50 feet wide on each side of the stream, but the District Engineer may require wider vegetated buffers to address documented water quality concerns. If there are open waters on the project site and the District Engineer requires compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts to ensure that the net adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, any vegetated buffer will comprise no more than 1/3 of the remaining compensatory mitigation acreage after the permanently filled wetlands have been replaced on a one-to-one acreage basis. In addition, compensatory mitigation must address adverse effects on wetland functions and values and cannot be used to offset the acreage of wetland losses that would occur in order to meet the acreage limits of some of the NWPs (e.g., for NWP 39, 1/4 acre of wetlands cannot be created to change a 1/2 acre loss of wetlands to a 1/4 acre loss; however, 1/2 acre of created wetlands can be used to reduce the impacts of a 1/3 acre loss of.wetlands). If the prospective permittee is required to submit a compensatory mitigation proposal with the PCN, the proposal may be either conceptual or detailed. (d) To the extent appropriate, permittees should consider mitigation banking and other appropriate forms of compensatory mitigation. If the District Engineer determines that compensatory mitigation is necessary to offset losses of waters of the United States and ensure that the net adverse effects of the authorized work on the aquatic environment are minimal, consolidated mitigation approaches, such as mitigation banks, will be the preferred method of providing compensatorymitigation, unless the District Engineer determines that activity-specific compensato ry mitigation is more appropriate, based on which is best for the aquatic environment. These types of mitigation are preferred because they involve larger blocks of protected aquatic environment, are more likely to meet the mitigation goals, and are more easily checked for compliance. If a mitigation bank or other consolidated mitigation approach is not available in the watershed, the District Engineer will consider other appropriate forms of compensatory mitigation to offset the losses of waters of the United States to ensure that the net adverse effects of the authorized work on the aquatic environment are minimal. 20. Spawning Areas. Activities, including structures and work in navigable waters of the United States or discharges of dredged or till material, in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g., excavate, till, or smother downstream by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are not authorized. 21. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the activity must be designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions (e.g., location, capacity, and flow rates). Furthermore, the activity must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters) and the structure or discharge of dredged or fill material must withstand expected high flows. The activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, provide for retaining excess flows from the site, provide for maintaining surface flow rates from the site similar to preconstruction conditions, and must not increase water flows from the project site, relocate water, or redirect water flow beyond preconstruction conditions. In addition, the activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, reduce adverse effects such as flooding or erosion downstream and upstream of the project site, unless the activity is part of a larger system designed to manage water flows. 22. Adverse Effects From Impoundments. If the activity, including structures and work • in navigable waters of the United States or discharge of dredged or fill material, creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. 23. Waterfowl Breeding Areas. Activities, including structures and work in navigable waters of the United States or discharges of dredged or fill material, into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. 24. Removal of Temporary Fills. Any temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation. 25. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include, NOAA- designated marine sanctuaries,National Estuarine Research Reserves, National Wild and Scenic Rivers, critical habitat for Federally listed threatened and endangered species, coral reefs, State natural heritage sites, and outstanding national resource waters or other waters officially designated by a State as having particular environmental or ecological significance and identified by the District Engineer after notice and opportunity for public comment. The District Engineer may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity for comment. (a) Except as noted below, discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States are not authorized by NWPs 7, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44 for any activity within, or directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such waters. Discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the United States may be authorized by the above NWPs in National Wild and Scenic Rivers if the activity complies with General Condition 7. Further, such discharges may be authorized in designated critical habitat for Federally listed threatened or endangered species if the activity complies with General Condition 11 and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service has concurred in a determination of compliance with this condition. (b)For NWPs 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, and 38, notification is required in accordance with General Condition 13, for any activity proposed in the designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The District Engineer may authorize activities under these NWPs only after he determines that the impacts to the critical resource waters will be no more than minimal. 26. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains. For purposes of this general condition, 100- year floodplains will be identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps. (a) Discharges Below Headwaters. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States resulting in permanent, above-grade fills within the 100-year floodplain at or below the point on a stream where the average annual flow is five cubic feet per second (i.e., below headwaters) are not authorized by NWPs 29, 39, 40, 42, 43; and 44. For NWPs 12 and 14, the prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13 and the notification must include documentation that any permanent, above-grade fills in waters of the United States within the 100 year floodplain below headwaters comply with FEMA or FEMA-approved local floodplain construction requirements. (b) Discharges in Headwaters (i.e., above the point on a stream where the average annual flow is five cubic feet per second). (1) Flood Fringe. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States resulting in permanent,above-grade fills within the flood fringe of the 100-year floodplain of headwaters are not authorized by NWPs 12, 14, 29,39, 40, 42, 43, and 44, unless the prospective permittee notifies the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13. The notification must include documentation that such discharges comply with FEMA or FEMA-approved local floodplain construction requirements. (2) Floodway. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States resulting in permanent, above-grade fills within the floodway of the 100-year floodplain of headwaters are not authorized by NWPs 29, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44. For NWPs 12 and 14, the permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13 and the notification must include documentation that any permanent, above grade fills proposed in the floodway comply with FEMA or FEMA-approved local floodplain construction requirements.

Trask, Jr., Owner 1202 Eastwood Road Wilmington,NC 28403 Subject: ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT AND REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Stormwater Project No. SW8 990306 Mod Westfall Office Park New Hanover County Dear Mr. Trask: The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for Westfall Office Park on August 24, 2000. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: 1. Please use the latest version of the detention pond supplement dated March, 1999,to provide the data for the modifications to Pond 4. You will need to complete all four pages and sign the supplement for this pond modification. 2. Please provide an approval letter from the Corps of Engineers regarding the filling of the existing wetland for the placement of Pond 4. 3. Pond 4 is labeled as existing,however,the plans approved on July 8, 1999, do not show this pond in the same location as it currently exists. No permit modifications have been approved for the relocation of pond 4. Why was the pond built in a location that was not permitted? 4. Please show the other ponds and their drainage areas on sheet C1(R3). This sheet will replace those in the current approved set,therefore, all information shown on the approved plans must be shown on the replacement plans. 5. The new pond will have two inlet points, effectively halving the surface area and flow path. Please demonstrate that the amount of surface area and the flow path length in each half of the pond can meet the minimum requirements, based on the drainage area for each inlet point. If possible,please try to have only one inlet to allow the runoff sufficient area to settle out the solids. 6. Please seal the revised Pond 4 calculations. 127 Cardinal Dr.Ext.,Wilmington,North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post-consumer paper Mr. Trask September 27, 2000 Stormwater Project No. SW8 990306 Mod Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review.

The personal obligation for delinquent Assessments shall not pass to the Owner's successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. SECTION 2. Purpose of Annual Assessments. The Annual Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the Owners and residents of the Property and Additional Property and for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the Common Elements and any Limited Common Elements. The funds arising from said assessments or charges, may be used for any or all of the following purposes: Operations, maintenance and improvement of the Common Elements, and any Limited Common Elements,including payment of utilities;enforcing this Declaration; paying taxes, insurance premiums, legal and accounting fees and governmen- tal charges; establishing working capital;paying dues and assessments to any organization or master association of which the Association is a member; and in addition, doing any other things necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Association to keep the Common Elements and Limited Common Elements in good operating order and repair. SECTION 3. Annual Assessments. At least 60 days before the beginning of each calendar year,the Executive Board shall establish a proposed operations and maintenance budget for the calendar year. If the amount of the budget does not exceed the prior years budget by over 10 percent, then the budget shall become final without approval of the members. If the budget exceeds the prior year's budget by 10 percent, then within 30 days after adoption of the proposed budget for the Planned Community, the Executive Board shall provide to all of the Lot Owners a summary of the budget and notice of a meeting to consider its ratification, including a statement that the budget may be ratified without a quorum. The budget is ratified unless at the meeting a majority of all of the Lot Owners in the Association rejects the budget. In the event the proposed budget is rejected, the periodic budget last ratified by the Lot Owners shall be continued until such time as the Lot Owners ratify a subsequent budget proposed by the Executive Board. The budget thus established shall be the Annual Budget. The Annual Assessment for each Lot shall be that percentage of the Annual Budget arrived at by dividing the square footage within the Lot by the total square footage of all Lots within the Development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first Annual Assessment shall be set by the Declarant prior to the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner.

SECTION 5. Rate of Assessment. The Association may differentiate in the amount of Assessments charged when a reasonable basis for distinction exists, such as between vacant Lots of record and Lots of record with completed structures for which certificates of occupancy have been issued by the appropriate governmental authority, or when any other substantial difference as a ground of distinction exists between Lots. However, Assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots similarly situated. SECTION 6. Commencement of Assessments. Assessments for each Lot shall commence upon the date of acceptance by an Owner of a deed from Declarant. SECTION 7. Effect Of N.Qnoayment of Assessments And Remedies Of The Association.

The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same, or foreclose the lien against the Owner's Lot. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Assessments provided for herein by non-use of the Common Elements or abandonment of his Lot. All unpaid installment payments of Assessments shall become immediately due and payable if an Owner fails to pay any installment within the time permitted. The Association may also establish and collect late fees for delinquent installments. SECTION 8. Lien for Assessments. The Association may file a lien against a Lot when any Assessment levied against said Lot remains unpaid for a period of 30 days or longer. (a) The lien shall constitute a lien against the Lot when and after the claim of lien is filed of record in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court of the county in which the Lot is located.

(c) The lien for unpaid assessments is extinguished unless proceedings to enforce the tax lien are instituted within three years after the docketing of the claim of lien in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court. (d) Any judgment, decree, or order in any action brought under this section shall include costs and reasonable attorneys' fees for the prevailing party, (e) Where the holder of a first mortgage or deed of trust of record, or other purchaser of a Lot obtains title to the Lot as a result of foreclosure of a first mortgage or first deed of trust, such purchaser and its heirs, successors and assigns shall not be liable for the Assessments against the Lot which became due prior to the acquisition of title to the Lot by such purchaser. The unpaid Assessments shall be deemed to be Common Expenses collectible from all of the Lot Owners including such purchaser, its heirs, successors and assigns.
