In August of 2002 we met on-site to evaluate the area and have met and/or discussed the project a number of times since then. Our client has agreed to implement all the suggestions we mutually developed regarding redevelopment of part of the site. The project is located due south of the intersection of Hwy 70 and Hwy 581 in Wayne County, just east of Goldsboro, NC (see Figure 1). The site is currently developed and contains numerous metal buildings and impervious parking areas. Figure 2 is an aerial photo of the entire property owned by HWB Inc. and specifies the area where the proposed buffer impact would occur and the proposed on-site buffer mitigation areas. Also enclosed are photos of the "ditch" and adjacent buffer area that is proposed to be impacted. The photos show views from Hwy 70 (Photo 1) and Hwy 581 (Photo 2). As you can see there is very little forest vegetation adjacent fo the feature. Figure 3 indicates the existing woody vegetation, grass, and existing impervious area adjacent to the ditch and also has a breakdown of buffer impacts. Even though the vast majority of buffer impacts (0.76 acres out of 0.96 acres) are to grass areas the client proposes to mitigate on- site at the required 3:1 ratio for Zone 1 impacts and 1:5 for Zone 2 impacts by restoring forest vegetation to areas currently occupied by either grass or gravel parking areas (see Figure 4). While we concur that the proposed feature to be impacted "scores" high enough to be classified as a stream by current DWQ criteria, we would like to point out the soils present on-site adjacent to the ditch according to the soils survey are the Craven soils series. Such soils are described by MRCS as moderately well drained upland soils on rounded sides of divides. Therefore, it is unlikely that a natural stream existed in the area. Rather the channel was probably dug historically to drain the poorly drained Rains soils that are present west of Hwy 581.

Currently there are no redevelopment plans for the remainder of the site. However, since the site lies within Wayne County's jurisdiction, if the balance of the area were redeveloped, compliance with the Neuse River Nutrient Removal Standards will be required. A preliminary Stormwater management plan for the site by S&EC dated 12/20/2002 and the required Extended Wetland Worksheet are also enclosed. The following list demonstrates the need for a variance: Practical difficulties, hardships and uniqueness- Much of the site contains existing impervious surface (1.84 acres out of 2.99 acres) that currently requires no treatment of its Stormwater. 2. Even the grassed area adjacent to the ditch is compacted and allows very little infiltration (behaves like impervious). 3. The ditch bisects the property making major highway road frontage required for such a redevelopment as proposed impossible. 4. The area of the site is zoned "HI" Heavy Industry by Wayne County, the proposed redevelopment is allowed by this zoning. 5. The site was originally developed in the very early 1970's. Why the general purpose of the intent of the rule is preserved and water quality will be better protected if the variance is granted. None of the following will occur if the variance is not issued. DWQ typically requires treatment of Stormwater only for new impervious surface on a site. The proposed plan will treat the entire 2.99 acres on-site and .41 acres of offsite impervious surface. Currently 1.84 acres on-site and .41 acres offsite is untreated. 2. The existing ditches on-site have very little to no woody buffer adjacent to them. If approved 2.45 acres of woody buffer will be restored along the ditches as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4. These buffers will treat run off from existing impervious surface as well as preserve them into the future. Since there is existing impervious surface adjacent to these ditches the owner is not only restoring a buffer but also giving up the right to continue to use the areas for parking, storage, and driveways. Even after doing all of the above the client will still have to pay into the WRP to meet the nitrogen load removal standards required under the Neuse River Basin- Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Basinwide Stormwater Requirements. Based on preliminary evaluation this could be up to a $9200.00 offset payment. Please call if you have questions or need further information in order to support this request before the EMC.

As part of the permitting process you will be required to treat stormwater runoff associated with this development in addition to treating or bypassing existing Stormwater runoff which currently drains to the site. We discussed the project site with Mr. Bob Zarzecki of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ), on August 20, 2002. Based on this discussion it is our understanding that the design and construction of an extended detention wetland (or Stormwater wetland) will be required for treatment of stormwater on the property as part of the variance process and to comply with the Neuse Basin Nutrient Removal Strategy. The purpose of this study was to determine the approximate size (or footprint) of an extended detention wetland required to treat stormwater from the site. This wetland would serve to treat site stormwater through the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in accordance with the North Carolina Best Management Practices (BMP) Manual. The wetland would also serve to treat Stormwater for Total Nitrogen (TN) reduction in accordance with the Neuse River Basin: Model Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control. This letter report presents our assumptions on future site conditions, preliminary feature sizing rationale, and briefly describes potential stormwater features.

The permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) will be requested in January 2003. However, the required 401 Water Quality Certification from DWQ cannot be requested until after a variance from the Neuse River Buffer rules is granted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC). We anticipate being heard in the February 2003 EMC meeting and will submit the 401 application as soon as a variance is approved. For the purpose of this letter the terms "extended detention stonmwater wetland," "stormwater wetland," and "constructed wetland," are to be used interchangeably and all refer to an extended detention Stormwater wetland as described in the Stormwater BMP manual. Authorization Engineering services for a Preliminary Stormwater Study for the referenced parcel were authorized by acceptance of Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA, Project Request Form, Project No. 7325, on November 21, 2002, by Mr. David Weil of Weil Enterprises. Project Description and Location The proposed development site is located northwest of the City of Goldsboro, immediately southeast of the Highway 581 /Highway 70 interchange in Wayne County, NC. See Figure 1. According to Preliminary Plans prepared by Alvolis Engineering, PA, of New Bern, NC, the subject tract consists of approximately 3.4 acres of primarily developed property. We understand from you (the client) that a combined Bojangles Restaurant & Fuel Warehouse is proposed for construction on the site. The proposed development is projected to impact approximately 3701inear feet of existing channelized stream which generally flows west to east across the site. In order to meet the requirements of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401 Permit certification (associated with the proposed stream impacts), you are required to complete a Stormwater Plan to treat stormwater discharge from the site. Whenever possible it is your intention to intercept and divert off-site Stormwater prior to arrival on site. However, undiverted off-site drainage from the adjoining property as well as on-site drainage will require treatment or diversion in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality. Extended Detention Wetland Performance and Regulatory Stormwater Treatment Standards Treatment of Stormwater runoff is required in accordance with the North Carolina Stormwater Management rules. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Page 3 December 20, 2002 (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Best Management Practices (BMP) manual outlines design requirements necessary to meet the pollutant removal design standard of 85 percent removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Based on the BMP manual, an extended detention wetland is assumed to have a TSS removal efficiency of 85 percent. A detention time of two to five days is required to meet this level of efficiency. Typically, a small embankment (or dam) and outlet device are used to detain stormwater runoff for sedimentation of suspended particles and biological treatment of pollutants. Based on the project location within the Neuse River Basin, the parcel must also be evaluated for its contribution of Total Nitrogen (TN) being delivered to the receiving watercourse (an unnamed tributary of the Little River). Constructed properly, extended detention wetlands also contribute significantly to the removal of TN. According to the Neuse River Basin: Model Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control, dated August 30, 1999, extended detention wetlands are currently considered to remove 40 percent of the TN from stormwater inflow. Stormwater wetlands, incidentally, are cited as having the highest TN removal rates of any of the commonly accepted stormwater BMP's currently in use. As described in the cited program literature, for commercial and residential development, the rules require that nitrogen export of 3.6 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ac/yr) or less be achieved. In the case where proposed commercial development results in TN export rates less than 10.0 lbs/ac/yr, then the owner may either; 1) Install BMPs to remove enough nitrogen to bring the development down to 3.6 lbs/ac/yr, or 2) Pay aone-time offset payment (to the NC Wetlands Restoration Program, WRP) of $330/lb to bring the nitrogen down to 3.61bs/ac/yr, or 3) Do a combination of BMPs and offset payment to achieve the 3.6 lbs/ac/yr export. If a particular development has a computed export rate greater than 10.0 lbs/ac/yr, then the owner must use on-site BMPs to bring the development's export down to 10.0 lbs/ac/yr. Then, the owner may use one of the three options described above to achieve the nitrogen reduction between 10.0 lbs/ac/yr and 3.6 lbs/ac/yr. Based on our discussion with the Division of Water Quality, we understand that once treated for TSS and TN removal, stormwater from an extended detention wetland can be discharged directly into the receiving watercourse. It is our understanding that based on the project location, all proposed stormwater treatment devices must be reviewed and approved by the engineering staff at DWQ. 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Page 4 December 20, 2002 Proposed Site Development and Drainage Systems For the purpose of stormwater feature sizing we assumed that limited off-site stormwater (that from the highways to the north) would require treatment, and thus approximately 4.5 acres of drainage area would require treatment in the extended detention wetland. Drainage currently entering the site from the west and south will be passed through the site by piping and/or relocating the existing channelized stream that bisects the front (northern) part of the tract. Since we are unaware of the grading details of the proposed development we have only evaluated site stormwater for the conditions depicted on the plan provided. We have assumed that future grading would direct stormwater in a generally southward direction away from the aforementioned highway intersection. In order to meet the regulatory treatment requirements, all on-site storm drainage must be designed to drain to a sediment forebay of the extended detention wetland. Site Constraints on Stormwater Treatment Site constraints included the proposed development, property lines, the highways and associated right-of--ways, existing buildings on adjoining properties, and any surface or subsurface conduits used to transport discharges from the existing (to be impacted) intermittent stream. In large part, these site constraints limit the areas available for stormwater treatment. Future Stormwater planning to included grading, pipe network layout, and outfall locations should all be carefully considered for compatibility with potential locations selected for the construction of an extended detention wetland. Construction access to the site, as well as permanent maintenance access to the required sediment forebay (for sediment removal and disposal) should also be considered during site planning and layout. Additionally, erosion and sediment control plans, including both temporary and permanent structures should be planned accordingly so as not to interfere with wetland construction. It may be possible to use some part of the area slated for the Stormwater wetland as part of the sediment treatment system during site construction, thus potentially reducing overall construction costs. The engineering firm responsible for this aspect of the project will need to be instructed to closely coordinate their work with S&EC to ensure compliance with the requirements of the variance and wetland permits. Wetland Surface Area and Footprint The Stormwater wetland footprint was estimated based on the required surface area (forebay, planted wetland, and outlet micropool) as well as a temporary storage volume sufficient to handle 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Pale 5 December 20, 2002 the runoff from the first one inch of rainfall from the contributing drainage area. The shape of the wetland footprint maybe adjusted to work within the property boundary limitation provided by the property boundaries and other site constraints. Based on a review of the proposed site plan, drainage area delineation estimate approximately 4.5 acres will contribute runoff requiring treatment. Of this area, 3.4 acres (building and parking footprints only) was considered to be 100 percent impervious resulting in an impervious percentage of approximately 76 percent (rounded to 80 percent for design purposes). A permanent pool depth of three feet was selected for these analyses as prescribed in the design guidance. This resulted in a design Surface Area to Drainage Area (SA/DA) ratio of 3.36. Using methods described in the BMP manual, the constructed wetland was sized with a minimum wetland surface area of 6,587 square feet (ft.2) or approximately 0.15 acres. A temporary water quality pool is also required to provide storage volume sufficient to handle the runoff associated with the first one inch of rainfall which falls on the contributing drainage area. Using the "Simple Method" described in the BMP manual we estimated a required volume of approximately 0.29 acre-feet (12,578 ft.3). Considering a wetland surface area of 0.15 acres, we find a resultant temporary pool depth of approximately 2 feet is needed. According to the BMP manual, a forebay established by a weir must be included to encourage early settling of larger particles before they enter the wetland area. The forebay surface area is typically required to be approximately 15 percent of the overall wetland surface area footprint. The sediment forebay should be constructed to accept discharge from the proposed piped (or otherwise conveyed) stormwater from the site. The number and location of the concentrated stormwater inlets from the site will depend on the proposed development grading and storm drain design. Typically approximately 70 percent of the footprint is finely graded to an elevation of zero to six inches above Normal Pool elevation. The remaining 15 percent of the footprint is maintained as open water in the form of micropools and open channels including a small pool at the wetland outlet. Without refined site topographic data it is unclear if an earthen fill embankment maybe required to form the perimeter (or a portion of the perimeter) of the constructed stormwater wetland. Whether the wetland is formed by excavation, embankment construction, or a combination of the two specific grading is necessary. It is typically desired to grade the slopes of the temporary water quality pool not steeper than 6H:1 V for safety purposes and to provide additional area for plant material. Typically slopes not steeper than 3H:1 V should be used on both the inside (upstream) and outside (downstream) slopes of the wetland and its embankment, starting at top of the temporary water quality pool. The crest with for the embankment should be at least 10 feet to allow for ease of construction and future maintenance. Based on available topographic 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Page 6 December 20, 2002 mapping, elevation change are slight, accordingly the volume of fill material necessary for construction of an embankment is not expected to be significant. Nitrogen Export Rate Calculations We estimated Nitrogen Export rates associated with the proposed development using methods outlined in the Neuse River Basin: Model Stormwater Program for Nitrogen Control guidelines. For the purposes of our initial estimates we assumed that 3.4 acres would be developed as described above. We also assumed that the remaining 1.1 acres would be Permanently Protected Managed Open Space (grass, landscaping, etc.). This category, along with Impervious Surface (roads, parking lots, roofs, etc.) are defined in the literature for use in calculations of TN. The resulting TN export from development was calculated at approximately 73.41bs/yr, with a nitrogen export coefficient of 16.31 lbs/ac/yr. Since the export coefficient is greater than l O lbs/ac/yr a BMP must be used to reduce the coefficient below the l O lbs/ac/yr threshold. The proposed BMP (extended detention wetland) can be assumed to reduce TN by 40 percent to 9.791bs/ac/yr. At this point additional BMPs, an offset payment, or a combination of the two would be required to meet the 3.61bs/ac/yr standard. If the offset payment is proposed as the only option, then we estimate the offset payment at 6.19 lbs/ac/yr (9.79 -3.60) times 4.5 acres times $330/lbs or approximately $9,200. Conclusions and Recommendations For planning purposes we are providing the following conclusions and recommendations: The overall basin size at the toe of the perimeter slope can be estimated at approximately 2 to 3 times the surface area of the permanent stonnwater wetland pool depending on site conditions. Accordingly, we recommend that a useable area of 0.3 to 0.45 acres be reserved for construction of the extended detention wetland. The attached site plan shows possible locations of the stormwater wetland. Please advise us of your preferred location. 2. It should be remembered that the stormwater wetland footprint may vary significantly depending on local topography, and as such, close consideration should be given to the selection of wetland location and orientation. Property boundary stand-offrequirements should be confirmed. We understand that no site soils evaluation has been performed to date. The design and construction of select stonmwater treatment devices (to include stormwater wetlands) can be complicated or unsuitable depending on the results of such an evaluation. We recommend that we be allowed to review the selected stormwater wetland location for 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Page 7 December 20, 2002 suitability and to ascertain that the reserved area is adequate for the stormwater wetland and its appurtenances are compatible with the results of our site soils evaluation. 4. As described in our project scope, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA, will design the components of the stormwater wetland, to include the primary spillway structure and its components, the emergency spillway, inlet and outlet protection, and wetland plantings. However, we recommend that such design services be delay until such time that a variance is granted by the EMC. 5. All on-site storm drainage from areas to be treated should be designed to drain through gravity means to the sediment forebay of this constructed wetland. All other drainage from off-site areas, should be diverted around the site and away from the wetland forebay if possible. 6. All of the site constraints previously listed should be confirmed prior to final design of a stormwater wetland (or other stormwater or development features) to ensure no conflicts exist. This will require that the engineer responsible for the site planning and local permitting coordinate with S&EC. Other Considerations Coordination of other design professionals' work is required to make this or any stormwater system function as intended. Design and construction of other site features (ie. facilities expansion, road network, etc.) should consider the possibility that changes to Construction Plans and Technical Specifications may become necessary after regulatory review comments are received on any stormwater plan. Because we are unaware of the exact details of proposed development depicted on the current development plans we have only performed a limited site stormwater evaluation. This evaluation only considered the site conditions depicted on the drawings provided. Accordingly any changes to this depiction are likely to impact our evaluation and recommendations of potential site stormwater features. Consideration should also be given to the use of other stormwater features such as bioretention areas and infiltration devices. While these alternative treatment devices may not be suitable for treatment of all site stormwater requirements, they are effective in TSS and TN removal (and potential offset payment reductions). Additionally, these alternatives can potentially reduce the space required, construction effort, and associated costs required for more conventional treatment devices. These devices also provide improvements to the proposed development site in the form of vegetated parking lot islands and other landscaped buffers which are not only functional for stormwater treatment but aesthetically appealing as well. 11010 Raven Ridge Road (919) 846-5900 Raleigh, North Carolina 27614 Fax (919) 846-9467 Mr. David Weil Page 8 December 20, 2002 Limitations It should be remembered that this report is preliminary and that our evaluations, conclusions, and recommendations are based on project and site information available to us at the time of this letter report. Recommendations presented in this letter may require modification if there are any changes in the project or site conditions, or if additional data about the project or site becomes available in the future. Additionally, decisions regarding any outstanding permit issues or policies issued by governing regulatory agencies are beyond our control, and as such modifications to our evaluation, conclusions, and/or recommendations maybe necessary.
