Section 5 -4 -9 Prohibition provides, in part, as follows: (4.) It is unlawful for any person to cause or permit any storm water to flow from their property onto the property of another person, unless such storm water naturally flowed thereon prior to any development activity. (5.) It is unlawful for any person to interrupt the flow of any storm water runoff from adjacent property onto their property by any development activity. As part of the City's approval process applicants must illustrate how these storm water management prohibitions will be met, including a showing of how storm water naturally flowed on the affected property (prior to any development activity), and what changes in storm water flow have occurred or are expected to occur, as attachments to this form. The City's approval or permit does not guarantee that the applicant's plans will result in meeting requirements. The final product must actually meet the City Ordinance requirements. Applicant name: (a;2N Project I.D.: P\ /v\4 c-a Attachments approved by: Date: June 30, 2010 The following deficiencies have reached an unacceptable level on the projects in the City of Tybee Island. While the deficiencies are not necessarily the fault of the Owner or his agent, they are their responsibilities. The two areas of deficiencies are in the two most basic and common BMPs on local projects. They are: Co — Construction Exit Sdl — Sediment Barrier Correct installation information can be found not only in the "Green Book" but in the Field Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia, Fourth Edition 2002, 4310 Lexington Road, P.O. Box 8024, Athens, GA 30603, telephone 706.542.3065, www.gaswcc.org, Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission; http: / /www.gaswec.org/docs/ field manual_4ed.pdf. Problems with the Co is not limited to the installation, but to the material. Specifically, the job site personnel are telling me the stone delivered is the 1.5 " -3.5" stone they requested. I have experienced on my own projects suppliers not adhering to the specs they are given with the orders. While I regret this situation, I will no longer be accepting any deviation from the State requirements. The stone will be a representation of 1.5 " -3.5" stone or larger. Gradations that are obviously smaller will no longer be tolerated. The smaller stone allows for a smoother surface with smaller voids, thereby reducing the function of the construction exit. Similarly, I am finding Type A sediment barriers installed where Type C is required and shown on the permit drawings. I have attempted to work with the Owners through increased inspections, additional backup BMPs, etc. This has evidently become common knowledge based on the installations I am finding. Where two rows are called for they will be installed with a separation that allows for the first one to fail (fall over) without impacting the second one. The complete assembly and installation must be compliant; steel or wood posts, post spacing, Type C or A. There has been no discharge into state waters due to previous occasional deficiencies. However, the increased frequency has created unnecessary exposure to: 1) Sediment discharge into nearby waters of the State, 2) Increased maintenance efforts by the DPW on downstream lines. 3) Due to #2, higher cost to island taxpayers. I will be adhering strictly to the manual on all BMPs and not just these two.

Dear Mr. Reynolds: Our office has received the survey plat entitled "Plat of Lot 11 -A, Brewer's Landing, Garden Ward, Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia" prepared for Tim Ramaker, stamped by James Whitley Reynolds, R.L.S. and dated February 2, 2012. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources line depicted on this survey generally depicts the delineation of the marsh/upland boundary as required by the State of Georgia for jurisdiction under authority of the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970. The delineation of jurisdictional tidal wetlands is subject to change due to environmental conditions and legislative enactments. This delineation is valid for one year from the date of this letter, but may be voided should legal and /or environmental conditions change. This letter does not relieve you of the responsibility of obtaining other state, local or federal permission or authorization relative to the site. It is also incumbent upon you to contact your local government authority or the Environmental Protection Division of the Department of Natural Resources regarding any impacts of land within 25 feet of the established marshlands jurisdiction boundary.

You may want to forward it on to the Owner, Applicant, Contractor, etc... I revisited the site and my measurements of the bulkhead were 31' 12" in length. Based on my measurements and observations the area of bare disturbed area was an average width of at least 6'. Downer, 1. Construction of bulkhead with no permit This is the more complex to answer. A.8.7 prohibits structural or decorative retaining walls in the butter. A.8.8 prohibits seawalls in the buffer. (Rip -rap placement up to 100 SF is allowed.) In any case land disturbance over 100sf, which has occurred is not allowed. 2. Proposed cantilevering of new single - family dwelling Al .1 states that no more than 100' of the elevated structure can extend over the buffer. This refers to elevated structures and not cantilevered structures specifically. I'm open to the Applicant obtaining any clarifications from the EPD. Without any clarification from others, I interpret the area of the cantilever to be limited to 100SF without a variance from the EPD. 3. Need to locate subdivision drainage and soil erosion plans Diane, this will have to be no sooner than tomorrow. While my memory sometimes has gaps in it, I can assure you that the drainage of this lot was designed to be towards the marsh along swales centered on the lot lines. (The Owner should verify platted easements or keep the swales on his lot. The road pavement was designed without storm pipe to drain across grassy swales prior to discharging into the marsh. Here is my recommendation. Issue a stop work order on an work in the buffer. The responsible party for the Owner should place hay bales (or pine straw bales at the openings on each end of the bulkhead. Straw mulch should be placed to cover the exposed disturbed are. 1 Allow permitting and work outside of the buffer to proceed contingent on one of the following. Submittal of a buffer restoration plan in accordance with the rules of the State that is acceptable to the City or Submittal of a a variance application to the State for the bulkhead. Based on the slope of the land, the terraces provided by the two bulkheads allows for dissipation of energy from runoff discharging into the marsh. As such I would concur with a variance. I recognize that others might challenge my opinion due to the loss of the environmentally desirable transitional area between the uplands and the marsh. However, as this loss is allowed by the rip -rap allowance, I would concur with a variance application. In my opinion the bulkhead materials did not appear to be to the treatment most appropriate for such applications. I defer to Ray Horde on this matter. Please advise if you need any additional information on this matter. I will provide you with my additional pictures later. Please scan in the survey and the bulkhead sketch for my files.

The intent of this document is to clarify minor land- disturbing activities as defined in the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the applicable requirements of the NPDES General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity. Please initiate implementation of these guidelines immediately for all applicable minor land- disturbing activities. Should there be any questions regarding this memorandum, please contact the appropriate EPD District Office or the Watershed Protection Branch's NonPoint Source Program at (404) 675 -6240. Attachment Cc: Jim Sommerville Linda MacGregor Larry Hedges Revised September 2009 MINOR LAND - DISTURBING ACTIVITIES As per O.C.G.A. 12- 7- 17(3), minor land- disturbing activities are exempt from the Georgia. Erosion and Sedimentation Act: "Such minor land - disturbing activities as home gardens and individual home landscaping, repairs, maintenance work, fences, and other related activities which result in minor soil erosion." The intent of this document is to clarify minor land - disturbing activities as defined in the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the applicable requirements of the NPDES General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity, as follows: A. The following land- disturbing activities are examples of projects not specifically listed in O.C.G.A. 12 -7 -17(3) that would be considered minor land - disturbing activities and therefore, exempt from the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the applicable buffer requirements for State waters: 1. Elevated structures such as decks, gazebos, patios, walkways, viewing platforms and /or open picnic shelters, provided: a. No more than 100 square feet of footprint of the elevated structure extends into or over the buffer, with an exception for structures compliant with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA); b. No grading, cutting, filling or similar land - disturbing activities occurring as a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development; c. The structure is built on posts, concrete blocks and /or similar supports; d. Permanent protective vegetative cover remains or protective measures (e.g., mulch, gravel) are installed within the footprint of the elevated structure to prevent post - construction soil erosion; e. A natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; and f. No concrete and /or asphalt slabs, pads or foundations_ constructed or placed as a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development. 2. A pervious ground level walkway approach to a dock and /or similar structure, provided: a. No more than 100 square feet of the constructed walkway extends into the buffer, with an exception for structures compliant with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA); b. No grading, cutting, filling or similar land- disturbing activities occurring as a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development; c. No concrete and /or asphalt slabs, pads, supports or foundations constructed or placed as a part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development; and d. All ground preparation and walkway material placement is completed with the use of hand -held equipment. 3. Restoration of buffer area after the removal of an existing structure, provided: 1 Revised September 2009 a. No more than 100 square feet of the structure footprint is in the buffer; and b. The buffer area must be replanted with native vegetation. 4. Maintenance or repair of existing structures, the failure of which would result in a threat to human health or State waters, such as sewer lines, water lines, dams, or gas lines. Total disturbance must be less than 100 square feet. 5. Placement of rock riprap within the buffer not to exceed 100 square feet on any one property, provided: a. The placement of the rip -rap does not result in soil disturbance outside the placement area; and b. No grading, cutting, filling or similar land - disturbing activities occurring as part of the site preparation, construction or subsequent development. B. The following land- disturbing activities are examples of projects that are NOT considered minor land- disturbing activities and therefore, NOT exempt from the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and the applicable buffer requirements for State waters: 1. Any land- disturbing activity utilizing wheeled or tracked machinery and equipment resulting in soil erosion within the buffer; 2. Paving with poured or prefab concrete and /or asphalt; 3. Any project or combination of projects occurring within the same calendar year on the same property resulting in more than 100 square feet of any elevated structures and /or pervious ground level walkways within or extending into the buffer; 4. Construction of a barbeque pit on a concrete and /or asphalt slab or pad within the buffer; 5. Construction of a ground level patio within the buffer; 6. Construction of a swimming pool within the buffer; 7. Construction of a structural or decorative retaining wall within the buffer; 8. Construction of a new seawall with land - disturbing activities occurring within the buffer; and 9. Backfilling any new seawall construction within the buffer. in addition, O.C.G.A. 12- 7- 6(b)(15)(A) and O.C.G.A. 12- 7- 6(b)(16)(A) state that "No land disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a buffer shall remain in its natural, undisturbed, state of vegetation until all land - disturbing activities on the construction site are completed, Once final stabilization of the site is achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of vegetation as long as a protective vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; provided, however, that any person constructing a single- family residence, when such residence is constructed by or under contract with the owner for his or her own occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation in a buffer at any time as long as protective vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed." Therefore, for Common Development construction projects covered under the NPDES General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity (Permit), the exemption for minor land - disturbing activities (O.C.G.A. 12 -7- 17(3)) within the buffer for State waters would not be applicable for an individual lot(s) until such time as a Notice of Termination (NOT) for the Common Development had been submitted in accordance with the Permit. 2 Revised September 2009 For Stand Alone and Infrastructure construction projects covered under the Permit, the exemption for minor land- disturbing activities (O.C.G.A. 12- 7- 17(3)) would not be applicable for a construction project until such time as a NOT is submitted in accordance with the Permit. However, for Infrastructure construction projects only, the installation of mandatory fences within the buffer for State waters is allowed prior to submitting a Notice of Termination and is exempt from the applicable buffer requirements. Compliance with the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act and NPDES General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity does not relieve an individual of any obligation or responsibility for complying with the provisions of any other law or regulations of any Federal, local or additional State authority, nor does it obligate any of the aforementioned to permit this project if they do not concur with its concept of development and control (e.g., placement of rock riprap within the stream channel may require a permit from the United States Army Corps of Engineers). 3 CITY OF TYBEE ISLAND, GEORGIA APPLICATION FOR BUILDING PERMIT Location: % a � j — Le� c A NAME ADDRESS PIN # Owner Architect or Engineer F! _ _ ; I _'�� 6 A Building Contractor (Check all that apply) ❑ Repair (l Renovation ❑ Minor Addition Substantial Addition Other Details of Project: El Residential ❑ Single Family ❑ Duplex ❑ Multi - Family El Commercial Anal S LGt C.. 14 jN.
