"Original Comment 2 — "Please complete the drainage area table on Page 3 of the SWU101 Application... [15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(a)]..." Please make the following corrections to the Application, Section IV, 10: a. 'Total Drainage Area Line — See "Off -Site Drainage Area Line" comment. Changing the Off -Site Drainage Area Line value will change the Total Drainage Area from 1,616,114 sf to 1,271,952 sf. Please revise." Response: Have revised the Total Drainage Area to 1,271,952 SF. b. "Off -Site Drainage Area Line — It is noted that some off -site areas drain onto the project area/to the proposed vegetated conveyances, however, as noted in the prior request for additional information letter, low -density projects do not typically have an off -site component, even if neighboring areas drain onto the site (The reason for this is that the "low -density drainage area" of this project corresponds to the project area and there are no off -site components to the project area). Please revise this item to 0 sf." Response: Have revised this item to 0 SF. c. "Proposed Impervious Area Line — See "Total Line" comment. Changing the On -Site Buildings/Lots Line value will change the Total (and the Proposed Impervious Area) from 305,268 sf to 305,229 sf. Please revise." Response: Have revised to 305,229 SF. d. "On -Site Buildings/Lots Line — Per the provided Deed Restriction Document, each of the 47 lots is allocated 4,965 sf of BUA. 47 lots at 4,965 sf/lot equals a total of 233,355 sf (233,394 sf is shown). Please revise." Response: Have revised to 233,355 SF. e. 'Total Line —See "On -Site Buildings/Lots Line" comment. Changing the On -Site Buildings/Lots Line value will change the Total from 305,268 sf to 305,229 sf. Please revise." Response: Have revised to 305,229 SF. 2. "Prior Comments 5b & 5c — "Please correct the following issues with the provided plan set: a. "Please include the type of grass that will be used for the vegetated conveyances on the vegetated conveyance detail. This item will be used to verify the maximum allowable velocity for the vegetated conveyances (per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(ii)) and is KEN N ERLY Phane:: 3667.2118 12133 N. NC HWY 156, Ste.

The grass specification (Tall Fescue) does not appear to be provided on the plans. Please revise to include this item on the plans." Response: Have added Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Specification to the detail sheets. b. "Please clearly delineate any on -site wetlands... Please also include a note on the plans stating the name and qualification of the individual that made this determination." This item, the name and qualification of the individual that made the determination, was not provided and is required to be included on the plans per Section V1, 8m of the Application. Please revise to include this item on the plans." Response: Have revised plans. No wetlands are present on the project. c. "Prior Comments 6a, 6b, & 6c — "Please correct the following issues with the design: a. "As designed, vegetated conveyances 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 19, and 21 may have erosive velocities..." Updated calculations were not provided in the latest submission so this item could not be reviewed. Please provide these calculations. Based on the information provided in the Supplement-EZ Form, none of the vegetated conveyances appear to have velocities in excess of their maximum allowable velocities." Response: Have provided the updated calculations. b. "Please provide calculation showing that the natural channel downstream of vegetated conveyance 21 will remain stable during the 10-year design storm (Required per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(ii)." As noted above, updated calculations were not provided in the latest submission so this item could not be reviewed. Please provide these calculations" Response: Have provided the calculation for Conveyance 22 which is the down stream channel of Conveyance 21. c. "The calculations show vegetated conveyance 21 as having a drainage area of 6.26 ac (back -calculated from the provided flowrate, Q = 23.22 cfs, C = 0.54, & I = 6.87 in/hr), however, the sum of the contributing drainage areas (DAs 5-8 and DA 21) is 7.4 ac. Please revise as needed." As noted above, updated calculations were not provided in the latest submission so this item could not be reviewed. Please provide these calculations. Per the information shown on the Supplement-EZ Form, the drainage area to swale 21 is shown as 7.10 ac while the information shown on the drainage area plan sheet still indicates a total drainage area (sum of the drainage areas to swales 5-8 & 21) of 7.4 ac." Response: Have revised the calculation and provided the calculations. KENNERLY P"onx:3677.2118 12133 N. NC HWY 156, Ste. F Fax: 336.76.0797 ENGINEERrN6 a DESIGN, MC.

"Please correct the following issues with the Supplement-EZ Form: a. "Drainage Areas Page: "Line 4 —This project contains 1 low -density drainage area (the entire project area). Please revise. NOTE: The drainage area information for the individual vegetated conveyances is included on the Low -density page. Response: Have revised the Low -Density Drainage Area to 1 drainage area. ii. "Drainage Area Table — Please include the Drainage Area Table (click on the "click to load forms" link, similar to the one on the cover page used to generate the low -density page). This table should have 2 columns, one for the entire site and one for the low -density drainage area. Since, for this project, the low - density drainage area is the same as the project area, the information in each column will be identical and will correspond to the information shown in Section IV, 10 of the Application." Response: Have Revised to add this information. b. "Low -Density Page: Line 5 — The maximum shown velocity in the design table is 4.84 fps while 4 is shown for this item. Please revise." Response: Have revised to 4.84 FPS "Line 11—This item should only be selected as "yes" if the vegetated conveyances are designed in accordance with the design requirements outlined in 15A NCAC 02H .1061" Response: Have revised this box to "No". iii. "Drainage area size for vegetated conveyances 12, 21, & 22 — These values (1.23 ac, 7.10 ac, & 6.01 ac respectively) do not appear to correspond to the information shown on the ditch drainage area map plan sheet. Vegetated conveyance 12 is shown with a drainage area of 0.54 ac, vegetated conveyance 21 is shown with a drainage area of 7.40 ac (sum of drainage areas 5-8 & 21), and vegetated conveyance 22 is shown with a drainage area of 6.43 ac (sum of drainage areas 1-4 & 22). Please revise either the plans or Supplement-EZ Form as needed." Response: Have revised the Supplement-EZ form to correct the drainage areas. KEN N ERLY Phone: 36.77.2118 16n12133 N. NC HWY 150, Ste.
