Southport, North Carolina
In accordance with your letter dated July 18, 2000 we have made the following revisions to the
Stormwater Management Plan
❖ The basin plan provided on sheet C3 has been revised to reflect the size
required for 90% efficiency and to the correct scale
❖ Page 3 of 4 has been corrected per your instructions
❖ The basin has been redesigned to 90% efficiency
❖ We have added the spot elevations requested in the northwest parking area,
pool area and entrances The cleanout in the pool area now includes a rim
elevation and invert
❖ The ponds drainage area has been delineated on the plan
❖ The orifice has been downsized to 1-inch Although, we believe that the
original orifice was sufficient to allow for the minimum 48-hour detention
According to our calculations the maximum flow through a 1 25 inch orifice
would be 0 033 cfs As the water drops, and the hydraulic head is reduced,
this flow would theroetically approach 0 cfs Therefore the average flow
would be approximately 0 016 cfs The runoff volume for the basin is 3,579
cubic feet This volume would take approximately 61 hours to drain through
the 1 25-inch orifice

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comfort Suites - Southport, NC
Brunswick County
Dear Mr Haggett
Co
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for
Comfort Suites -Southport, NC on May 9, 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
Please have the president or vice-president of Apex Lodging, Inc write and sign a letter of
authorization giving Mr Michael A Thomas the signing authority for the application The
"Agent Authorization" on page 4 of 4 only gives individuals or consulting firms the authority
to submit information on the owner's behalf, not sign for them
2 Please correct the pond detail scale on sheet C3 It is given as I " = 12', however the given
dimensions are not to that scale
I am .ncl-Airg P_ge 3 of 4 of the supplement form for coirection The sednrPnt rcrobx ai
benchmarks under 4 should read 2 25 feet for the main pond and 1 12 feet for the forebay
4 For ponds designed for 85% TSS removal a vegetated filter is required to be installed after
the outlet structure Include on the plans the filter and a detail of the filter (I have included
an example detail of a vegetated filter ) The filter is to be a minimum of 30 feet in length
gird the width is Ca1CL?1ate rl ror non ciosive flow A flow spreader niccharn,,in ib iecti icd
inwrrii. tl� d��a.l i lit :,ealed calculations showing non erow1ve flow must also e
suoniitted Note that this filter is not required to be built and maintained with ponds
designed for 90% TSS removal
5 Please provide proposed spot elevations for the northwest parking lot, pool area, and the two
entrances so that the runoff flow direction can be determined I assume the pool area will
drain to the roof drain clean out Please give the elevations/inverts for the clean out to show
flow directions
5 Please delineate the pond's drainage area
Please design the outlet orifice to draw down the required volume in 2-5 days, not the
provided volume By my calculations a 1 " orifice would suffice
