Dear Mr. Williams:
On February 15, 2007, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a
401 General Water Quality Certification to impact 80 linear feet of two unnamed tributaries to Abbotts
Creek and 0.69 acre of associated riparian wetlands in order to construct two sewer line crossings for a
sewer outfall to serve the proposed Carrollton Development located on Old Salem Road near Kernersville in
Forsyth County. Based on the information provided in your application, additional information is required
in order that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500. Unless otherwise
specified, please provide five (5) copies of the following information:
1. Please provide two (2) sets of full-size drawings depicting the lot, street, and utility line layouts
for all areas of the project that you propose to develop. Also, please provide the total acreage,
accurate to 0.1 acre, for the Carrollton Development as currently planned.
2. Please provide a comprehensive stormwater management plan which includes plans and
specifications for stormwater management facilities that are appropriate for surface waters
classified as Class WS-III and designed to remove, at a minimum, 85% Total Suspended Solids
according to the most recent version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project.
3. Please provide a narrative cumulative impact analysis of potential short and long-term impacts
on water quality standards in the Abbotts Creek watershed downstream of the proposed project
site. For assistance in preparing this analysis, you may refer to Guidance for Assessing Indirect
and Cumulative Impacts of Transportation Projects in North Carolina, 2001, Volumes I and II,
