Smith, PE Urban Design Partners, LLC 1318-E6 Central Ave. Charlotte, NC 28205 Subject: Request for Additional Information Stormwater Permit No. SW3170803 Reafield Union County Dear Mr. Smith: ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary TRACY DAVIS Director The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for the subject project on August 24, 2017. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: 1. Since this project is located in the Six Mile Creek watershed, it one of the watersheds subject to the Goose Creek rules 15A NCAC 02B .0600. a. Revise the SCM design water quality volume to be based on the difference in runoff between the pre and post -development conditions for the 1 -yr, 24 -hr storm, not 1.0". Evaluate if the 18x6 orifice needs to be raised so that the entire WQV (I yr, 24hr post -pre) filters through the sand media. b. 02H .0602(a) states that SCMs used shall promote infiltration of flows and groundwater recharge, or provide a written explanation when it is not practical to use infiltration. 2. Provide a soils report that includes the SHWT elevation within the footprint of each SCM [sand filter MDC 1]. 3. There must be a minimum of 12" of sand above the top of the underdrain pipe [sand filter MDC 7]. The proposed design appears to have an upturned elbow creating an IWS zone. That is not allowed in sand filters; only in bioretention. Nothing Compares, SState of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 512 N. Salisbury Street 11612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 919 707 9200 4. The outlet structure detail on C-4.3 appears to show the underdrain being covered up by the riser ballast concrete. 5. The application was signed by George Macon, but Mr. Macon is not listed as a member/manager of Reafield, LLC on the Sec. of State website. The application must be signed by a member/manager, or provide a signed letter from one authorizing Mr. Macon to sign the application. 6. Since this project has lots, please provide a completed High Density Commercial Subdivision deed restriction form available at htips:Hdeq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy- mineral-land-resources/energy-mineral-land-rules/stormwater-pro rg am/post-construction 7.
