Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application for North Fork Estates
Dear Mr. Cutler:
On September 19, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) received your application for
a 401 General Water Quality Certification to impact 164 linear feet of stream o develop property for the State
Employees Credit Union in Madison NC in Rockingham County. Additional documentation was submitted to
the Division on October 21, 2008. Additional information is required in order that we may determine your
project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The Division will require this information in order to process
your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, we will place
this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, and if we do not receive the
additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by
15A NCAC 2H .0506. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your
project.
Please remove the layer of mulch that was specified above the engineered soil media. Mulch is not
needed for grassed bioretention cells.
2. Please provide fertilizer and watering specifications to establish the Bermuda grass.
3. Please reconfigure the underdrains so that they run the entire length of the bioretention cell.
4. Please provide details of the flow splitting device that conveys stormwater drainage to the two
proposed bioretention cells as well as the calculations that support the design of this device.
5. Please provide a construction sequence. The Required Items Checklist states that there is a
construction sequence on C1203; however, this is not present on the plans that were submitted.
