Team,
The only problem I see is with:
- Sizing the Filterra devices in accordance with the Bioretention chapter of the state BMP Manual
The major problem with this is that the Filterra product comes already designed in pre-determined sizes based on the
impervious drainage area. Filterra will need to create a spec book that can relate to the North Carolina Bioretention Chapter
of the BMP Manual to its pre-determined sizes. Custom sizing of the Filterra product defeats the main purpose of the
product in general.
I have copied Terri Reid, the Filterra Southeast Regional Sales Manager, on this email and will be eager to hear a Filterra
solution on how we can implement the Filterra product into North Carolina. I have designed and implemented this product
on other projects outside of NC and not only does it work but it allows the client to maximize the use of the site and it blends
in well with the landscaping.
Thanks,
Adam M. Nowocin, P.E.

Subject: 08-1155 Kellswater Commons in Kannapolis: Possible Application of Filterra
Mike,
I just spoke with Adam Nowocin, P.E. of NFocus Engineering out of
Kannapolis. Adam said he is very interested in installing Filterra
systems on part of a site called Kellswater Commons in Kannapolis.
I have copied Adam and Hunter so that they may contact each other.
Hunter, I gave Adam your phone number so that you could talk more about
the project. Adam - if you decide to pursue this, Mike Randall and I
will work together to provide a "case-by-case" approval of the
stormwater management plan based on:
- Sizing the Filterra devices in accordance with the Bioretention
chapter of the state BMP Manual,
- Providing a monitoring program that will evaluate the performance of
the Filterra system, and
- Providing an assurance that the system will be replaced by another BMP
if the monitoring shows that it is not performing adequately.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Annette
