A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: The incoming runoff from Forebays 2 and 3 will never benefit from treatment in the 18" wetland area. It should be set up so that all the runoff enters at Forebay ##1 and is allowed to receive treatment from all the wetland areas. The other alternative is to provide additonal deeper wetland areas that the runoff from Forebays 2 and 3 can be treated in. 2, The surface area of the micropool needs to be 15 % of the permanent pool, or 1,148 square feet. You provide only 730 square feet. Please revise. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to November 24, 1998, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application to issue the permit. If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me at (910) 395-3900.

Governor Wayne McDevitt, Secretary Division of Water Quality June 24, 1998 Mr. Jay Houston Houston and Associates PO Box 2927 Shallotte, NC 28459 NCDENFZ NORTH CAROUNA DE-AP.TMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCEs Subject: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT AND REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Stormwater Project No. SW8 980521 Sea Trail Plantation -Waterway Project Brunswick County Dear Mr. Houston: The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for Sea Trail Plantation -Waterway Project on May 7, 1998. 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 provide additional spot elevations for the parking areas. The contours do not convey enough grading information, especially in the corners of parking areas, and on sidewalks. 2. Provide finished floor elevations for the buildings. 3. Provide a typical unit footprint of the building, with dimensions, and any wood deck or concrete areas noted. 4. Delineate all existing wetlands on site, or note on the plans that none exist. 5. Provide dimensions for the parking areas, drives and walks. 6. The Operation and Maintenance plan does not address the following: a. Inspecting the plants to make sure they are not dying, and replanting as needed. b. Sediment removal within the wetland areas. (Only the forebay is addressed) 7. Provide an outlet structure to provide the required 2-5 day drawdown. No outlet structure is located or detailed on the plans. 127 Cardinal Dr. Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post -consumer paper Mr. Houston June 24, 1998 Stormwater Project No. SW8 980521 8. Provide calculations indicating compliance with the requirements to allocate the surface area of the wetland system. Seventy percent of the provided surface area must be from 0"-18" deep. This is further broken down in the BMP document to require half of that 70 % (35 %) from 0"-9", and the other half from 9"-18" deep. Also, 15 % of the area must be available at the outlet location as a deeper micropool. The proposed plans show no wetland area shallower than 12" . The basic intent of a stormwater wetland is to create a shallow matrix of sediment, plants, water and detritus that collectively removes multiple pollutants through a series of complementary physical, chemical and biological pathways. 9. Provide a planting plan listing the species of plants to be used, how many will be used, and where within the wetland they will be planted. 10. Ideally, the drainage area for a constructed stormwater wetland should not be less than 10 acres. The BMP guidance suggests that smaller watersheds tend to dry out more often, and become nuisances. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to July 23, 1998, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me at (910) 395-3900.

As discussed between Scott Quaintance and yourself, this project drains to SA waters, the Intercoastal Waterway. Due to a high water table, infiltration is not an option for this project. Therefore, we have designed an alternative solution using the Extended Detention Wetlands described in the BMP manual. The proposed subject project falls within the high density guidelines. Enclosed is a check in the amount of $385.00 to cover the required high density application fee. We appreciate your attention in this matter.
