Hall 1000 Wade Ave. Raleigh, NC 27605 Subject: Stormwater Review SW7081208 SECU - Columbia Tyrrell County Dear Mr. Hall: This office received a stormwater permit application for the subject project on December 22, 2008. A preliminary review of your project indicates that before a State Stormwater permit can be issued, the following additional information is needed: 1. Wet pond design should be based on a minimum average depth of 3-feet. Revise plans/calculations to provide minimum average depths. (BMP manual, chapter 10). 2. Soils report indicates the seasonal high water table (SHWT) at this site should be about 18-inches below existing ground surface. Based on this info and the County Soils Report, the SHWT elevation for this site should be between 3.5 - 4.0 fr. The design permanent pool elevations should be set within 6-inches of the SHWT; therefore, permanent pool design elevations should be 3.5 - 4.5 ft. Explain/justify design elevations. 3. Provide written vegetation plan & plan details for wet pond perimeter shelf. Wetland seed mix is not acceptable. (BMP manual, chps 6 & 10). 4. Small diameter orifices can easily clog; suggest revise orifice structure with minimum 4-inch PVC pipe -capped and drilled to specific diameter. (See example BMP manual, chp 10). 5. The proposed wet ponds are relatively small; suggest eliminate diversion berms to enhance sediment storage. Also, top of forebay berms should be 6-inches below design permanent pool elevation. 6. Revise application, supplements, narrative & plans as need to reflect changes.

Wet pond design should be based on a minimum average depth of 3 feet. Revise plans/calculations to provide minimum average depths. (BMP Manual, chapter 10). P&H Response: As requested, the wet pond design has been revised to include an average depth of 3 feet or more, which does not include the 1 foot of sediment depth. 2. Soils report indicates the seasonable high water table (SHWT) at this site should be about 18-inches below existing ground surface. Based on this info and the County Soils Report, the SHWT elevation for this site should be between 3.5 - 4.0 ft. The design permanent pool elevations should be set within 6-inches of the SHWT; therefore, permanent pool design elevations should be 3.5 -4.0 ft. Explain/justify design elevations. P&H Response: The SHWT in the rear of the site is approximately 24-inches below the existing ground elevation per the soil evaluation prepared by S&EC on September 4, 2009, which would be at an approximate elevation of 0.50 ft. The pond's permanent pool elevation was set at 2 ft due to the outlet invert constraint; therefore, a geosynthetic liner will be installed to maintain the permanent pool at 2 ft. Please find the enclosed Storm Water Pond report prepared by GeoTechnologies, dated March 4, 2009. 3. Provide written vegetation plan & plan details for wet pond perimeter shelf. Wetland seen mix is not acceptable. (BMP Manual, chapters 6 & 10). P&H Response: Vegetation for pond perimeter shelf has been revised per chapters 6 & 10 of the BMP Manual. See Sheet L1301 for revision. 4. Small diameter orifices can easily clog; suggest revise orifice structure with minimum 4-inch PVC pipe -capped and drilled to specific diameter. (See example BMP Manual, chapter 10). P&H Response: Orifice structure has been revised to a 4-inch PVC pipe -capped and drilled to 1-inch diameter as suggested. See Sheet C5103 for reivision. 5. The proposed wet ponds are relatively small; suggest eliminating diversion berms to enhance sediment storage. Also, top of forebay berms should be 6- inches below design permanent pool elevation. P&H Response: Pond #2 shown on original submittal has been removed and storm drainage added to direct runoff to the pond in the rear of the site. The diversion berms have been removed and forebay berm elevation is now 6-inches below the permanent pool elevation. See Sheet C1201 and C5103 for revision. 6. Revised application, supplements, narrative & plans as needed to reflect changes. P&H Response: All of the above have been revised to reflect changes as requested.

Box 12037 RTP, NC 27709 Re: Storm Water Pond SECU @ Hwy-64 Columbia, North Carolina GeoTechnologies Project No. 1-08-0403-EA Dear Ms. McLaurlin: MAR 1 3 2009 4 ..r r? r1LY`.till GeoTechnologies, Inc. completed a subsurface investigation for the referenced site in 2008. Subsequently, we were requested to assist the project civil engineer with geotechnical design and construction issues related to the storm water pond which will be located at the back of the property. Specifically, we were requested to assist with specifying a geosynthetic liner for the interior of the pond, to provide construction dewatering recommendations, and to provide recommendations for liner protection during periodic sediment removal from the bottom of the pond. This letter presents our recommendations regarding these issues. Geosynthetic Liner. We understand permanent pool must be maintained at El +2. To maintain permanent pool at El +2, a synthetic liner will have to be installed below the entire below the entire basin area. Even with a fully lined basin, water levels will drop during periods of drought due to evaporation unless a make up well is installed. A number of suitable liner products are available for this application; however, it is our recommendation that a 30 mil PVC geomembrane be used. Environmental Protection, Inc. (EPI) in Mancelona, Michigan (1-800- OK-LINER) can manufacture and package the panels per the pond requirements, and then ship the liner to the site. A specification sheet for this liner is attached to this letter. The advantage of PVC is that it can be field welded by the contractor without special equipment and without a specialty installer. Alternate liners may also be considered though if the contractor wants to submit an alternate. Drainage and Maintenance. Unbalanced hydrostatic forces below or behind the liner could result in its flotation or movement. Seepage losses will be minimized through the proper installation of the recommended liner, and therefore, water levels should only have the potential to become significantly depressed during extended periods of dry weather, or if the pond has to be lowered for maintenance. To facilitate pond recharge during dry periods, and/or to eliminate unbalanced hydrostatic forces during drawdown, we recommend incorporating recharge pipes as shown in attachments to this letter. A typical recharge pipe detail has been included; however, the exact details and the exact location for the recharge pipe should be established in the field at the time of construction based on observations made in the field. The intent 3200 Wellington Court, Suite 108 • Raleigh, North Carolina 27615 • Phone 919-954-1514 • Fax 919-954-1428 • www.geotechpa.com O'Brien/Atkins & Assoc. Re: SECU/Columbia March 4, 2009 Page: 2 will be to extend a wet well down into clean sands which can act as a recharge source. The contractor will have to utilize pipe boots to prevent seepage around the pipes after they have been installed. The general area grade above the primary wet detention pond and forebays is at El +1 to El +2 which is at or slightly above the water level which likely will exist during various times of the year. Accordingly, we suggest that any cleaning of the ponds be conducted in the wet without dewatering the forebays or the main detention pond. This can be accomplished utilizing a trackhoe or backhoe with a smooth bucket working from the top of the pond during drier periods of the year. By planning for maintenance in this way, it will not be necessary to install a permanent underdrain system around the facility which would require reactivation during periods of maintenance. However, the maintenance directions for this facility should make it clear that dewatering of the interior of the ponds is not recommended. During very dry years when the water table drops as a result of drought conditions, we would anticipate that water levels will fall sufficiently such that clean -out of the forebays could be accomplished in the dry and that access back to the primary wet detention pond could be obtained with only very minor difficulty. Placement of recharge pipes will allow the pond and forebay to be recharged with standpipes through the artesian condition that will be created if water levels outside of the pond (static groundwater) exceed those on the interior. An EPI detail (pipe boot installation) is included in this report for installing standpipes through the liner. A flap valve should also be included on the top of the standpipe to prevent backflow. We recommend that pipe inverts be set at the elevations on the attached drawing. Dewatering Considerations. The test borings suggest that groundwater is likely to be encountered at about El +1 to El 0. This implies that the contractor may be able to control groundwater with deeper perimeter ditches although this can only be determined by attempting the operation at the time of construction. One possible construction sequence would involve first installing a deep perimeter ditch around the exterior of the area which will have to receive a synthetic liner. A pump would be installed in the ditch to pump and hold water levels down drawing water levels below El 0 on the interior of the area to be lined. The contractor would then install an additional dewatering sump and/or install well points in the area of the proposed deep detention basin. Since clean sands were encountered at depth in some of the borings, the contractor may have to employ well points to drop the water levels to El -5 to -6 so that he can construct the bottom of the wet detention pond. Once the water level has been dropped below the bottom of the pond, the contractor should then shape the bottom and begin installing the synthetic liner. We would anticipate that he will have to install the liner in the base of the wet detention basin first, complete construction of that basin, fill it with water, turn off the deeper dewatering system, and continue pumping from the perimeter to then complete the installation. The contractor should be responsible for all means and methods with regard to installation of the wet detention pond, and the possible sequence shown in a figure attached with this letter is for general information purposes only. We will be happy to assist the contractor during the construction process if he needs assistance in identifying the next approach to take in the dewatering operation or construction operation. It is very important that the deepest portion of this pond be constructed, protected, and then filled with water before turning the system off to prevent the liner from floating. Liner Protection During Maintenance Sediment which accumulates at the bottom of the pond will occasionally need to be removed. Damage to the liner can occur during cleaning, and it is our recommendation that the liner along the bottom and portions of the side slopes be protected. We recommend that the protection consist of either 12 inches of a soil -cement mixture (5% cement by weight added to on -site approved granular www.geotechpa.com O'Brien/Atkins & Assoc. Re: SECU/Columbia March 4, 2009 Page: 3 soils), or solid 4 inch thick Armorloc blocks (1-800-305-0523) placed over either 8 inches of approved on -site granular soils or a 14 ounce nonwoven geotextile fabric. The protection should extend along the bottom of the pond up the side slopes to at least El +1. SUMMARY In summary, the requirements for the wet detention basin at Columbia will necessitate use of a synthetic liner to maintain permanent pool at about El +2. Construction of the pond will require good technique on the part of the contractor to control groundwater until the pond is constructed and will require attention to detail during installation of liners, recharge pipes, soil cover, and a protective layer in the base of all areas which will require future cleaning. The details attached with this letter are intended as a general guide to provide the contractors with an indication of the scope of the issues which will have to be addressed during the construction of this pond.

The sub - grade must be smooth, uniform, and free of any protrusions. Step 2: Clean the surface of the liner around the penetration where the boot will be welded in place. Wipe away any dirt or dust particles. The surfaces of the liner, boot, and the pipe must be completely clean and dry. Step 3: Slide the boot sleeve on the pipe, making sure the boot is aligned and all surfaces are smooth. It may be necessary to trim the excess tapered portion of the boot sleeve. Step 4: Weld the boot apron to the liner using EPI provided adhesive. Apply the adhesive to the liner and the boot apron. Let the adhesive setup for several seconds before pressing the boot apron and the liner together using a roller. Make sure to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Step 5: Seal the boot sleeve to the pipe using the stainless steel hose clamp. The clamp around the pipe will form a watertight seal to the pipe.
