Think they were involved with initial review and know the previous site conditions as well. Some other DWQ folks may have seen site. Some fill had been permitted previously. Dam was breached. Old stream went thru area in a different direction. Area stream had bullfrog tadpoles and bulrush/cattails were abundant. Upstream had a long-term sewer leak that should have been fixed. Seems someone wants to make this into a commercial shopping center. Area is very important for WQ, habitat and protecting downstream creek (very stable and pretty a few years ago) from stormwater/secondary impacts. There should be some fair sized files on this one in the WSRO. Might be a photo. Permit was issued for parking spaces on the edge of this for an insurance (?) company.

You stated that the impacts to the 495 feet of stream shall not be conducted as approved in the above Certification. As such, you requested that you be reimbursed by the Wetlands Restoration Program for the mitigation payment made to them for the referenced stream impacts. After reviewing your application and your request, the Division has decided to rescind the 401 Water Quality Certification. By copy of this letter we are requesting that the Wetlands Restoration Program reimburse you for the full amount of the stream mitigation payment that was made for this project. Also, please be advised that if you decide to proceed with developing the site in the future you shall be required to apply for a new 401 Water Quality Certification if impacts to streams and/or wetlands exceed application thresholds. The current Certification was approved under General Certification No. 3108. This General Certification is no longer valid and cannot be issued again. As such, any future applications for a 401 Water Quality Certification would have to be approved under another General or Individual Certification which may have more extensive requirements.

He indicated that it would be OK to hold the payment at least until there had been an oppo unity to consider our request. I related to Mr. Ferrell that although it is possible to crow the money to pay the mitigation fee, that it was a lot of money for us, and whereas it looks like the work under the permit would not start until next spring at the earliest, we would appreciate an extens on in the payment until before the work actually starts. Mr. Ferrell said that in many instances that people are ready to start as soon as the permit is issued. 1 said that as the process had taken some time, this ca sed changes which have delayed development.

Price Holdings owes $61,875 for 495 linear feet of stream impact. He stated that the due date for the payment was yesterday. He offered to write a check but asked if the check could be held until February due to cash flow problems. I told him that was not possible (state law requires checks to be deposited within 24 hrs of receipt). Mr. Price stated that the project was on hold until Spring, 2001 and that the impacts had not occured and would not occur until Spring 2001. He asked if he could defer payment until 30 days prior to impact. I told him that I could not make that decision, that he would have to request an extension from you. I did tell Mr. Price that I would inform you that he had offered to make the payment yesterday and that because he had made the effort to pay that he would not receive a NOV at this time. I also advised him to submit a written request for an extension of the payment due date to you. I told him that you would consider his request and that there were 2 possible outcomes: 1) an extension would be granted, or 2) you would inform him that the payment was due immediately. Mr. Price said that if he was told that he had to pay immediately he would do so. I hope I have not caused y'all any problems with what I have told Mr. Price. I did want y'all to be aware of his efforts to pay though. Mr. Price said he had tried to contact you and had talked to Todd but had been told that you were the one that would make the decision. I believe he may have faxed you a letter concerning this matter in the past few days. EX, OCT-03-00 12:23 PM A 3365845156 r.c?a L?

In looking at the letter, the $62,000 mitigation fee is supposed to be due tomorrow, and hat's an aw ul lot of money for a small business to pay when we're not doing any work yet.

H Q*C- D I E H I F ??& Division of Water Quality March 29, 2000Gtl o cS Subject: Price Holdings/Holly Ridge - ' DWQ Project No. 991003 Alamance County rf I (Z?' ri The Wetlands Unit staff reviewed the stormwater management plans for the subject project and determined that additional information is necessary to complete the technical review process based on the design parameters provided in the NC DENR Stornnvater Best Nfanagenient Practices Afamial, April 1999. The required additional information is as follows: Permanent Water Quality Pool, Temporary Water Quality Pool Staff were unable to determine from the site plans, sketches and calculations, the elevations and contours of the proposed wet detention pond. It is recommended that site plans be submitted that provide pond contours as well as outlet details. Additionally, any retaining walls used should be clearly located on the site plans and should not be located below the permanent pool surface elevation. In other words, the side slopes of the submerged portion of the basin must be earthen and 10 foot wide, 6:1, submerged, vegetative side slopes should be provided along the perimeter of the permanent pool except for along the dam. Also, please provide the permanent pool volume. Draw Down Orifice Outlet An orifice installed directly through the outlet structure will experience clogging problems and increase the maintenance effort required to keep the basin functioning properly. It is recommended that the orifice structure be fitted with a submerged inlet that will prevent floating debris from interfering with performance. This is typically accomplished by attaching a downward angled pipe to the invert so that the inlet remains submerged below the permanent pool. Forebay All stormwater wet detention basins are required to have a forebay to facilitate TSS removal. Please provide plan details and specifications for the forebay, as well as the volume at permanent pool. 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, NC 27607 Telephone 919-733-1786 FAX 919-733-9959 An Fniinl r)nnnrfiinifv Affirmafiva Ar•finn Fmnlnvar cm0A rarvrlarfl in0A nncf_rnnciimar nanar 4. Drainage Area Wet detention basins must be designed to treat all of the runoff draining to the basin. Please delineate the drainage area including offsite drainage to the basin. Also, all of the runoff from the entire site should be delineated treated. Operation and Maintenance Agreement A stormwater control structure will not operate as designed without regular maintenance. Typical requirements for an operation and maintenance plan include the following: • Vegetation management/mowing schedule • Semi-annual inspections • Debris check after every storm event • Benchmark for sediment removal (specific elevations listed) • Designation of a responsible party The operation and maintenance agreement must also be signed by the responsible party and notarized. Division wetlands unit staff will strive to complete a final technical review within 10 working days of receipt of the requested information. Completing the enclosed worksheet will greatly decrease the staff review time. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this project, please contact me at (919) 733-9584.

(1) You needed a Letter from Ron Ferrell regarding Mitigation by paying a fee to the Wetlands Restoration Fund, and (2) Confirmation that all concerns of Winston Salem Regional Office detailed in October 7, 1999 letter are sufficiently addressed. , Regarding the mitigation payment, as soon as I got your letter I asked Brian Maas with ECS to speak with Ron Ferrell about getting a letter about the mitigation. Because of all the snows, it took a while to get the letter. Anyway I delivered the letter from Ron Ferrell saying that the Wetlands Restoration Program would accept payment for the stream mitigation to Cyndi Bell last Friday. -4 ZS Regarding the October 7 letter concerns, I addressed all of those questions in my response letter of 11/4/99 as best I could. As I hadn't heard that there were any other unanswered questions except about the mitigation, I thought that our responses must have been enough. Anyway, I asked Brian to call Jennifer Fry about this to make sure there weren't any outstanding questions, and he spoke with her last Friday. Brian said that they had a good phone conversation, and she said that she hadn't heard that there were any questions that we hadn't answered, and that she didn't have any problems with the application. Based on all of this, it looks like the two issues you mentioned have been properly answered, a would hope that the permit can be processed soon ( I understand that the snows have backed everythm , but hopefully the backlog will be clearing up soon.) Kew, please give Brian or me a call if there are any other questions.

I received a letter dated October 7, 1999 frorn Mr. Coble which in effect suminari7ed Jennifer Fry's comments, put the application oil hold pending additional infornation, and set a 3 week deadline for a response. Subsequently on 10/25/99 the deadline was extended by Mr. Coble one additional week ( 11/4/99) due to difficulties in getting information. The Army Corp of Engineers had indicated the channel which crosses the site are waters of the US . The DWQ representative found some aquatic life in the channel and indicated that DWQ would have jurisdiction for piping the channel under 401 Water Quality Certification. She indicated the following information was needed to proceed. 1. Evaluation of avoidance possibilities of the impact by reducing the pipe or rerouting the channel. r ( ACOE & DWQ said that reducing the pipe to under 150' would not require a hermit.) 2. Decide on the on-site storm water management / treatment plan. 3. Mitigation of the impact by restoration on site, or restoration of a degraded stream in the same watershed. 4. The last alternative is to pay $125 per lineal foot to the Wetland Restoration fund. Following are the responses. 1. As indicated in the site history, a perspective purchaser proposed to pipe the entire length of the channel, and the ACOI and the DWQ said that. that would require an Individual permit, and we should consider reducing the pipe to less that 500' - which is what we (lid. This application is to pipe 497 feet of the channel, which is a reduction. In thinking about reducing the pile in the channel to 150 ft., that would result in an open channel through the project. We believe this would present a human health and safety hazard. ( For instance, if we put up a fence or a wall along the channel, a kid might climb the wall and fall in the ditch, or there might be snakes and mosquitoes in the channel.) I j An open channel through a commercial project would probably receive more trash and litter that a piped channel, where runoff flint a storm water management system could be managed and debris can be controlled before blowing or washing into the water. Also, a significant economic restriction would be caused by separating the site into two parts resulting in a barrier to people and cars. In considering rerouting the channel, the channel crosses the middle of the property in the low area. Moving it in the low area wouldn't make much difference. If you moved the channel all the way to the front or to the back of the site, this would result in ditches 10 to 20 ft. deep and four 90 degree bends which, unless you hardened the sides, would potentially create erosion at the turns. By using the pipe, erosion is not possible along the length of the pipe. 2. We didn't understand that permanent stomi water management / treatment was necessary for the project , but had proposed to provide either a permanent dry settlement basin or it CUS catch basin for water quality treatment anyway. Now we understand that permanent storm water management / treatment is required. As we understand it, the CDS type system is not an approved system, so we would have to provide permanent detention basins as back up. As the CUS devices are expensive and we would have to provide settlement basins also, we propose to only provide the pennanent detention basins. We have been told that the DWQ requires that storm water management / treatment be done using wet detention basins according to the provisions of the "Storm Water Best Management Practices" manual Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins published April 1999 by NCDENR. This revised plan proposes to use Wet Detention Basins designed according to the manual. ( Of note, the "l.1 Introduction" says that this design concept is the " DWQ's approach to water quality management of storm water in surface drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties, and areas near high Quality waters and Outstanding Resource Waters ...." per the rules contained in 11.5A NCAC 2H. 1000. Also, Wet Detention Basins arc assumed to remove 85Io 'I'SS. ) Additionally, the Proposed Plan provides an underwater shelf which is not required in the Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, but which provides additional water quality treatment . 3. Regarding "On-site stream restoratiop", there really isn't any place to do it on site ( See next Paragraph re the underwater shelf) Regarding "Off-site stream restoration", enclosed is a letter dated October 15, 1999 from Brian Mats with ICS Ltd. indicating that according to Mr. Ron ITITC1 With the NC Wetland Restoration Program, there aren't any known local mitigation possibilities. Anyway, we would ho that because: (1) we are proposing to provide a wet detention pond that is assumed to remove 85% TSS ( which is the same level of treatment required for surface drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties , and arras near high Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource Waters), and (2) we are proposing to provide an underwater shelf which goes beyond the requirements of Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, it can be assumed that this will improve storm water water quality above that normal to piedmont waters. As a result it is hoped that this may be considered on-site mitigation, and that any mitigation fee could be reduced. ( In that direction the present channel is approximately 3' wide and the proposed pipe is 4971'. '['his totals approximately 1,500 square feet. 'rite Proposed Plan provides an underwater shelf of 3,100 s' or more in the Wet Detention Basin. Couldn't this be considered double the mitigation?) I hope the above information and the attached information is helpful, and I would be happy to discuss all of this at your convenience. ly, I re, d6nt, Price Holdings Corporation General Partner of Price Holdings Limited Partnership POB 2112, Burlington, NC 27216 PH/FX: 336-584-5156 CEL: 336-214-2676 ENCLOSURES: Revised Site Plan with Calculations.

(ECS), we have reviewed some options for stream mitigation at the above referenced site. As discussed with your site engineer, and a due the size and complexity of the project, on-site stream mitigation is not an option. As mandated, we attempted to identity potential stream mitigation sites located within the same drainage basin in the Burlington area. We contacted Mr. Ron Ferrel of the NC Wetland restoration Program to help us locate potential stream mitigation sites in the area. According to Mr. Ferrel, there are no current sites for stream mitigation in the Burlington area. Mr. Ferrel stated that their agency has been working hard with Burlington and Alamance County Parks and Recreation and other such agencies to find candidate sites and at this time, there are no such sites available. At this time, we recommend that you inform the NC Division of Water Quality that we have not been successful in locating land for stream mitigation and that your proposed mitigation plan is to pay into the Wetland Restoration Fund. ECS appreciates the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you any questions or need additional information, please contact us. Sincerely, Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. Brian E.

Raleigh, NC 27607 919-733-9716 RE: Holly Ridge, Burlington, NC Dear Mr. Thomas and Mr. Smith, Following is a Pre-Construction Notification Application for a US-ALOE 404 Nationwide 26 Permit and a NC-DQW 401 Water Quality Certification to pipe 4951' of a 670 P drainage way for Holly Ridge, a proposed 12.5 acre commercial development fronting on International Drive in Burlington. N.C. The property is owned by Price Holdings, Limited Partnership. We understand that this site does not involve any wetlands. A prospective purchaser has discussed piping the drainage way for most of the full length of the ditch and pursuing an Individual Permit with ACOE, and DWQ personnel; however, due to the extensive permitting processes understood to be involved with an Individual Permit, we have decided to reduce the length of the pipe to less than 5001' and to make the application for a Nationwide 26 Permit. ( An overview of the history of this site and environmental evaluations is attached.) PERMIT APPLICATION AND PLANS. The site development plan presented provides for piping 4951' of the existing +- 6701' drainage way that would provide bypass transport for off-site storm water draining across the property. As this exceeds 1501' but is less than 5001' this would fall under the ACOE Nationwide 26 permit, and a NC-DWQ 401 water quality certification. I understood that some mitigation may be required or payment of a mitigation fee payable to the NC Wetlands Restoration Fund. The plan also includes temporary storm water erosion control measures consisting of 2 settlement basins, temporary ditches, ditch piping, sediment traps, and silt fencing to be installed and maintained during the land disturbing phases of development. This would be permitted and monitored by the City of Burlington. Although no further mitigation fees or measures are understood to be necessary, we do believe preservation of water quality is an important objective. To that end, we have proposed to provide one of two alternatives to improve the water quality of storm water that would fall on and eventually flow from the site. Alternative A is to install two Continuous Deflection Separation Catch Basins ( CDS ). This CDS system is an innovative device that removes suspended solids, gas , oil, and grease from storm water. The system has no moving parts, is designed to be low maintenance, and will not clog. ( See attachment for design and technical data) Alternative B is to construct the 2 temporary settlement basins as permanent structures of standard approved design. If the CDS system is acceptable, we may consider including the storm water flow from off-site drainage area No.3 in the CDS system # 2. We would hope that these WQ treatment alternatives would be considered on-site mitigation, and that mitigation fee could be reduced. I hope the above information and the attached overview of the situation is helpful, and I would -cZdiscuss these plans, and the proposed alternative water quality protective measures at your C convey ence. yt ce II ?

International Drive, Burlington , NC. SITE HISTORY 8/26/99 This 12.5 acre property has been in the Price family since the mid 1950's. In the Summer of 1995, I met on the property with an ACOE field representative and an environmental engineer. I expressed our desire to drain and till a pond located partially on this property and partially on adjoining property. The ALOE agent told me that we could breach the dam, and that typically, after a drying period, that filling of the pond would be allowed. So we breached the dam, and drained the pond . Later ACOE visits indicated that the former pond was drryying in most areas, but that there were some possible wetland areas which further drying would probabl resolve. In the Fall of `97, as the pond bottom had dried up, I told your environmental engineer that we wanted to dig a ditch in the former pond bed. The engineer observed the site and said that because we were going to dig ditches in dry ground, and because there were no regulations about digging in dry ground, the ditching would be allowable, so we did. This provided a relatively straight drainage way across the property. In September of '98 1 met with an ALOE field representative, the architect for a prospective purchaser, and our environmental engineer on the site. We said we wanted to pipe along the drainage way ditch and till the old pond area . The ACOE agent indicated that the ditch was probably Water's of the US. In any event, we could pipe up to 150 1' with no permit. If we had more that 150 1' but less than 5001', the project could be done under a Nationwide 26 permit; however, we would need to mitigate or pay a mitigation fee to the NC Wetlands Restoration Fund. ( Later on I heard that this lineal footage has to do with how much is considered to be Water's of the US.) Anyway, if we proposed to pipe over 500 1', that would require an Individual Permit which caused a much more difficult mitigation process. We also said we wanted to fill a channel that had been scoured in the pond bed but was not carrying any water then. He indicated that he observed no wetlands on the site and that he (the ACOE) had no interest in the scoured channel. As there were no wetlands observed and the channel didn't seem to be of concern to the ACOE, and as we understood that the NCDWQ only required a 401 Certification if the ACOE said they were dealing with Water's of the US or wetlands, in the Fall of `98, I had the channel filled. In April of `99 an ACOE field representative and a DWQ representative met with an environmental engineer representing the prospective buyer. ( I had understood that the meeting had been canceled, and I did not attend.) I was told that at that meeting, the representative of the prospective buyer said that the buyer wished to pipe the drainage way pretty much all the way across the entire site . The ACOE and DWQ representatives apparently responded that that would probably require an Individual Permit and confirmed that that sort of permit was very complicated and took a long time. The DWQ representative referred the buyer to a representative of the DWQ in the Raleigh office . A little later on, ( Spring 99 ) I attended a meeting at DWQ headquarters in Raleigh with representatives of the prospective buyer and a DWQ agent at which several development ideas for the Individual Permit were discussed. From that meeting, it seemed to me that an individual permit would be very difficult and expensive to get. In the next week or so, a representative of the prospective purchaser and I spoke with the ACOE representative by phone to discuss the project. There was some talk about moving the ditch around and to reduce the length of the pipe . The ACOE representative said that changing a ditch was the same thing as piping a ditch, and wouldn't help much. ( Sounded like it would probably be more of a problem.) After that , it seemed to me than the only way that we could do anything would be to reduce the length of the pipe and go for a Nationwide 26 Permit. COMMENT - All of the work we have done on the property to this time was after talking with with an ACOE representative and /or an environmental consultant. We never asked for a permit because we understood that all the work we were going to do was not restricted by anybody. The ACOE representative has visited the property a couple of times , and so far as I know, the work we have done was OK. We do understand that piping over 150 P of a ditch that is considered Water's of the US would require some permits. As a result, there needs to be some determination of how much of the drainage way is Water's of the US.

CDS Technologies, Inc. provides products and services to municipalities, public agencies and industry, based on the unique solids/liquids separation technology known as Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS). The parent company, CDS Technologies Ltd. - which is headquartered in Australia - has developed and owns this non-blocking screening technology, which is protected by US, Australian and international patent applications. Continuous deflective separation (CDS) technology is an innovative and highly effective new solution to address wet weather stormwater pollution problems. CDS technology offers an effective method of preventing pollutants -such as street litter trash and debris, vegetation and coarse sediments and the attached pollutants -nutrients and heavy metals - from entering our waterways. As with most great technological breakthroughs, simplicity prevails: The CDS system controls the water to enable a natur sT eparation of solids from the water carrying them. The first non-blocking and non-mechanical s sy tem, CDS uses fine-screening to prove e a much more e ioef3"' nt and cost-effective alternative to previous generations of technology. The CDS technology is an essential first component of a "treatment train" to protect and enhance the performance of other filtration systems and biological systems. The major application for the technology is currently to clean gross pollution from stormwater before it enters natural waterways, but through continuing IS research, the company has extended its product range for use in removing ,• oil and grease from stormwater flows, industrial and food processing indus- tries and to separate floatables and remove solids from combined sewer overflows (CSO).

(if You needed a Letter from Ron T'crreil regarding Mitigation by paying a fee to the wetlands Restoration Fund, and (2) Confirmation that all concerns of Winston Salem Regional Office detailed in October 7, 1999 letter are sufficient] y addressed. Regarding the mitigation paynicnt, as soon as I got your letter I asked Brian Maas with ECS to speak with Ron Ferrell about getting a letter about the mitigation. Because of all the snows, it took a while to get the letter. Anyway 1 delivered the letter from Ron Ferrell saying that the Wetlands Restoration Program would accept payment for the stream mitigation to Cyndi Bell last Friday. Regarding the (ktober. 7 letter concerns, I addressed all of those questions in my response letter of 11/4/99 as best I could. As I hadn't heard that there were any other unanswered questions except about the mitigation, I thought that otlr responses must have been enough. Anyway, I asked Brian to call Jennifer Fry about this to make sure there weren't any outstanding questions, and he spoke with her last Friday. Brian said that they had a good phone conversation, and she said that she hadn't heard that there were any questions that we hadn't answered, and that she didn't have any problems with the application. Based on all of this, it looks like the two issues you mentioned have been properly answered, would hope that the permit can be processed soon ( I understand that the snows have backed everythtn ,but hopefully the backlog will be clearing up soon.) ??tv please give Brian or me a call if there are any other questions.

Subwqucnlly we were told that in order to get a 401 Certification we had to have an "approved" wet detention system designed according to the BMP manual for storm water management. So we provided the en4inecred plans for the wet detention with our 11/4/99 Revised Permit Application. We asked a couple of times, but never had any indication that there was anything amiss with those wet detention plans. Anyway, as this Approval Letter omits tic reference our 1114/99 Revised Application, does that mean that the CDS devices or the dry detention provided)' to migimi ation was what was approved? Or was it the 11/4/99 wet de' ndon t halwaspproved? lse necessary to a " 1~inal Flan" beyond whichever was apV?xed-. p royal Letter, down at next to the last line_on-the-first-e, says that we have one ate o firativrrt?pay fhe mitigation fee to the Weand Fund. The SUMMARY IMPACTS ... letter, m the last paragraph, says we have to r uest an invoice from the tion Fund by sending in the form, and that no impacts can be adc until the fee is paid. Anyway, w e understood from someone in the Division of Water Quality that th fcc had to be paid before making any impacts, but not that it had to be paid within 30 days. We unders d that the money for a 113472ftf)-15ought to be paid before any impacts, but, as it could be a little wh le before work on ale pro t woul , and that's a lot of money for a small business to pay up fron , we wonder if there is so w v that fee paid before the impact starts instead of right a way, Thant o for your response, and if there are any questions, please give Brian or me a call.

Raleigh, NC 27607 919-733-9716 RE': Holly Ridge, Burlington, NC Dear Mr. Thomas and Mr. Smith, Following is a Pre-Construction Notification Application for a tJS-AC,OE 404 Nationwide 26 Permit and a NC-DQW 401 Water Quality Certification to pipe 4951' of a 6701' drainage way for Holly Ridge, a proposed 12.5 acre commercial development froatitlg on International Drive in Burlington. N.C. 'rhe property is owned by Price Holdings, Limited Partnership. We understand that this site does not involve any wetlands. A proslxetive ptirchaser has discussed piping the drainage way for most of the full length of the ditch and pursuing an Individual Permit with ACOE and DWQ personnel; however, due to the extensive permitting processes understood to be involved with an Individual Permit, we have decided to reduce the length of the pipe to less than 500 I' and to make the a lieation for a Nationwide 26 Permit. ( An overview of the history of this site and environmental evaluations is attached.) PERMI"1' API'L1CA'rm AND PLANS. The site development plan presented provides for piping 4951' of the existing +- 6701' drainage way that would provide bypass transport for off site stonn water draining across the property. As this exceeds 1501' but is less than 500 P this would fall under the ACOE Nationwide 26 permit, and a NC-DWQ 401 water quality certification. 1 understood that sonic miligation may be requirud or payment of a mitigation fee payable to the NC Wetlands Restoration Fund. The plan also includes tcmporaryy storm water erosion control measures consisting of 2 settlement basins, temporary ditches, ditch piping, sediment traps, and silt fencing to be installed and maintained during the land disturbing phases of development. This would be permitted and monitored by the City of Burlington. Although no further mitigation tees or teasures are understood to be necessary, we do believe preservation of water quality is an important objective. To that end, we have proposed to provide one of two alternatives to improve the water quality of storm water that, would fall on and eventually flow from lire site. FED724-00 04:16 PM U 3365845156 P.03 Alternative A is to install two Continuous Deflection Separation Catch Basins ( CUS ), 'fills CDS system is an innovative device that removes suspended solids, gas, oil, and grease from storm water. The system has no moving parts, is designed to be low maintenance, and will not clog. ( Sec attachment for design and technical data.) Alternative 13 is to construct the 2 temporary settlement basins as permanent structures of standard approved design. If the CUS system is acceptable, we may consider including the storm water now from off-site drainage area Nu.3 in the CUS system # 2. We would hope that these WQ treatment alternatives would be considered oil-site mitigation, and that mitigation fm could be reduced. I hope the above information and the attached overview of the situation is helpful, and I would r-t?discuss these plans, and the proposed alte i mtive water quality protective measures at your l-1- President, Price Holdings Corporation General Partner of Price Holdings Limited Partnership POD 2112, Burlington, NC 27216 PH/FX: 336-584-5156 CEL: 336-214-2676 CONTACTS: Project Engineer.

Subsequently on 10/25/99 the deadline was extended by Mr. Coble one additional week ( 11/4/99) due to difficulties in getting information. The Army Corp of I•;ngincers had indicated the channel which crosses the site are waters of the US. The DWQ representative found sonic aquatic life in the channel and indicated that DWQ would have jurisdiction for piping the channel under 401 Water Quality Certification. She indicated the following information was needed to proceed. 1. Evaluation of avoidance possibilities of the impact by reducing the pipe or rerouting the channel. ( ACOE' & DWQ mid that reducing the pipe to under 1:50' would not require a pernUl.) r 2. Decide nn the on-site storm water ntanagenient / treatment plan. 3. Mitigation of the impact by resloral.ion on site, or restoration of a degraded strcann in the sannc watershed. 4. The last alternative is to pay $125 per lineal foot to the Wetland Restoration fund. Following are the responses. 1. As indicated in the site history, a perspective purchaser proposed to pipe the entire length of the cliamncl, and the ACME and the DWQ said that that would require an I1ndiv lual lkrinh. and we should consider reducing the pipe to less that 500' - which is what we did. This application is to pipe 497 feet of the channel, which is a reduction. In thinking about reducing the pipe iii the channel to 150 ft., that would result in an open channel Through the project. We believe this Would present a human health and safety hazard. (For instance, if we put up a fence or a wall along the channel, a kid might climb the wall and fall in the ditch, or (here might be snakes and mosquitoes in the channel.) An oinn channel through a commercial project would probably receive more trash and litter that a piped channel, where ntnoff thru a storm water nianagenient system could be managed and debris can be controlled before blowing or washing into the water. Also, ;A significant economic restriction would he caused by separating the site into two parts resulting in a barrier to people and cars. In considering rerouting the channel, the channel crosses (lie nniddlc of the property in the low area. Moving it in the low area wouldn't make much difference. If you moved the channel all the way to the front or to the back of the site, this would result in ditches 10 tai 20 ft. deep and four 90 degree bends which, unicss you hardened the sides, would potentially create erosion at the turns. By using the pipe, erosion is not possible along the length of the pipe, FEB-24-00 04:19 PPr U 3365545156 P.07 2. We didn't understand that permanent storm water management / treatment was necessary for the prtrject , but had proposecl to provide either a p?7•manent dry scnlerncnt basin or a CDS catch basin for water quality treatment anyway. Now we understand that permanent storm water management / treatment is required. As we understand it, the CDS type system is not an approved system, so we would have to provide permanent detention basins as back up. As the CUS devices are expensive and we would have to provide settlement basins also, we propose to only provide: the permanent detention basins. We have been told that the DWQ requires that storm water managernent / treatment be clone using wet detention basins according to the provisions of the "Storm Water Best Management Practices" manual Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins published April 1999 by NCDE'NR. This revised plan proposes to use Wet Detention Basins designed according to I.tte manual. ( Of note, the "1.1 Introduction" says that this design concept is the " DWG's approach to water quality management of storm water in surface drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties, and areas near high (pralityy waters and Outstanding 1(00017CC Waters...." per the rules contained in 115A NCAC: 2H.I(M. Also, Wet Detention Basins are assunred to remove 85°x, TSS. ) Additionally, the Proposed Plan provides an underwater shelf which is not required in the Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, but which provides additional water quality treat.rnenl. 3. Regarding "On-site stream resturaliop", there; really isn't jury place to clo it on site ( See next Paragraph re the underwater shelf; Regarding "Oft=site stream restoration", enclosed is a letter dated October 15, 1999 from Brian Kdis with ECS Ltd. indicating that according to Mr. Ron Ferrel with the NC Wetland Restoration Program, there aren't any known local mitigation possibilities. Anyway, we would h(W Iltat because: (1) we are pro rstttg to provide a wet detention pond that is assumed to remove 85% 't*SS ( which is the same level of treatment required for surfacer drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties , and areas near high Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource Waters), anti (2) we are proposing to provide an underwater shelf which goes beyond the requirements of Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, it can be assumed that this will improve storm water water quality above that normal to piedmont waters. As a result it is huped that this may be considered on site mitigation, and that any mitigation fee could be reduced. ( In that direction the: present channel is approximately 3' wide and the proposed pipe is 4971'. This to(ills approximately 1,5W sc(uare feet. The I'rolx)scd Plan provides an underwater shelf of 3.100 s' or nture in the Wet Delenl.ion Basin, Couldn't this be considered double the mitigation?) 1 hope the above information and the attached information is helpful, and 1 would be happy to discuss all of this at your convenience. 11/Vla) Holdings Cor)xrration of Price Holdings Limited Partnership POB 2112, Burlington, NC 27216 PH/FX:336.584-5156 CEL: 336-214-2676 ENCLOSURES: Revised Site Plan with Calculations.

Is there something that makes consultants "dumber than the average bear" to paraphrase Yogi Bear. He did not ask if he could pay and I'm not sure he is even aware that it is an option. We do have a lot of commitments in that CU and I do not guess another 497 feet will kill us, so it it y'all would prefer that he be allowed to pay, then we will probably accept. instead of giving him a definite answer I would prefer that he request in writing that he be allowed to pay and include information on location of stream, etc. basically the info included with an application. 497 Lcet - someone trying to avoid a COE permit??

RE: Holly Ridge, Burlington, NC Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Coble; On 10 / 5199 I met at the Holly Ridge site with Jennifer Frye of the DWQ, Brian Maas an environmental consultant, and Harold Jensen an engin=. I received a letter dated October 7, 1999 from Mr. Coble which in effect summarized Jennifer Fry's comments, put the application on hold pending additional information, and set a 3 week deadline for a response. Subsequently on 10/25/99 the deadline was extended by Mr. Coble one additional week ( 1114/99) due to difficulties in getting information. The Army Corp of Engineers had indicated the channel which crosses the site are waters of the US, 'The DWQ repmsentative found some aquatic life in the channel and indicated that DWQ would have jurisdiction for piping the channel under 401 Water Quality Certification. She indicated the following information was needed to proceed : 1. Evaluation of avoidance possibillties of the impact by reducing the pipe or rerouting the channel. ( ACOE & DWQ said that reducing the pipe to under 150' would not require a permit) 2. Decide on the on-site storm water management / treatment plan. 3. Mitigation of the impact by restoration on site, or restoration of a degraded stream in the same watershed 4. The last alternative is to pay $125 per lineal foot to the Wetland Restoration fund. Following are the responses. 1. As indicated in the site hist , a perspective purchaser proposed to pipe the entire length of the channel, and the ACOE and the DW said that that would require an Individual ptrrnit, and we should consider reducing the pipe to less that 500' - which is what we did This application is to pipe 497 feet of the channel, which is a reduction. In thinking about reducing the p* in the channel to 150 ft., that would result in an open channel through the project. We believe this would present a human, health and safety hazard ( For instance, if we put up a fence or a wall along. the channel, a lid might climb the wall and fall in the ditch, or them Might be snakes and mo?.quitoes m the channel. ) An open channel through a commercial project woulcFprobably receive more trash and litter that a a channel, where runoff thru a storm water management system could be managed and debris can controlled before blowing or washing into the water. Also, a significant economic restriction would be caused by separating the site into two parts resulting in a barrier to lc and cars. In considering rerouting the channel, the channel crosses the middle of the property in the low area. Moving it in the low area wouldn't make much difference. If you moved the channel all the way to the front or to the back of the site, this would result in ditches 10 to 20 ft. d--.-p and four 90 degree bends which, unless you hardened the sides, would potentially create erosion at the turns. By using the pipe, erosion is not possible along the ten„ th of the pipe. 11/15/1999 10:23 3367714630 DIV OF WATER QUALITY PAGE 03 2. We didn't understand that permanent storm water management / treatment was necessary for the project, but had proposed to provide ether a permanent dry settlement basin or a CDS catch basin for water quality treatment anyway. Now we understand that permanent storm water management / treatment is required As we understand it, the CDS type system is not an approved system, so we would have to provide permanent detention basins as back up. As the CDS eviices are expensive and we would have to provide settlement basins also, we propose to only provide the permanent detention basins. We have been told that the DWQ requires that storm water management / treatment be done using wet detention basins according to the provisions of the "Storm Water Best Management Practices" manual Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins published April 1999 by NCDENR. This revised Ian proposes to use Wet Detention Basins designed according to the manual. ( Of note, the "1.1 ntroducaon" says that this design concept is the " DWQ's approach to water quality management of storm water in surface drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties, and areas near hi Quality waters and Outstanding Resource Waters...." per the rules contained in 115A NCAC 214. 1000. Also, Wet Detention Basins are assumed to remove 85% TS S. ) Additionally, the Proposed Plan provides an underwater shelf which is not required in the Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, but which provides additional water quality treatment. 3. Regarding "on-site stream restoration", there really isn't any place to do it on site ( See next Paragraph re the underwater shelf Regarding "Off-site stream restoration", enclosed is a letter dated October 15, 1999 from Brian Maas with FCS Ltd. indicating that according to Mr. Ron Ferrel with the NC Wetland Restoration Program, there aren't any known local mitigation possibilities. Anyway, we would hope that because: (1) we are proposing to provide a wet detention pond that is assumed to remove 85% TSS ( which is the same level of treatment required for surface drinking water supply watersheds, the twenty coastal counties , and areas near high Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource Waters), and (2) we are proposing to provide an und?-rwater shelf which does beyond the requirements of Section 1.0 Wet Detention Basins, it can be assumed that this will improve storm water water quality above that normal to piedmont waters. As a result it is hoped that this may be considered on-site mitigation, and that any mitigation fee could be reduced. ( In that direction the present channel is approximately 3' wide and the proposed pipe is 4971'. This totals approximately 1,500 s luare feet. The Proposed Plan provides an underwater shelf of 3,100 s' or more in the Wet Detention Basin. Couldn't this be considered double the mitigation?) ' information and the attached information is helpful, and I would be happy to convenience.

Box 2112 Burlington, NC 27216 Reference: Review of Stream Mitigation Options Holly Ridge Project Burlington, North Carolina Dear Mr. Price: Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. (ECS), we have reviewed some options for stream mitigation at the above referenced site. As discussed with your site engineer, and a due the size and complexity of the project, on-site stream mitigation is not an option. As mandated, we attempted to identify potential streard mitigation sites located within the same drainage basin in the Burlington area. We contacted Mr. Ron Ferrel of the NC Wetland restoration Program to help us locate potential stream mitigation sites in the area. According to Mr. Ferrel, there are no current sites for stream mitigation in the Burlington area. Mr. Ferrel stated that their agency has been working hard with Burlington and Alamance County Parks and Recreation and other such agencies to find candidate sites and at this time, there are no such sites available. At this time, we recommend that you inform the NC Division of Water Quality that we have not been successful in locating land for stream mitigation and that your proposed mitigation plan is to pay into the Wetland Restoration Fund. ECS appreciates the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you any questions or need additional information, please contact us. Sincerely, Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd. Brian E.

Raleigh, NC 27607 919-733-9716 RE: Holly Ridge, Burlington, NC Dear Mr. Thomas and Mr. Smith, Following is a Pre-Construction Notification Application for a US-ACOE 404 Nationwide 26 Permit and a NC-DQW 401 Water Quality Certification to pipe 4951' of a 6701' drainage way for Holly Ridge, a proposed 12.5 acre commercial development fronting on International Drive in Burlington. N.C. The property is owned by Price Holdings, Limited Partnership. We understand that this site does not involve any wetlands. A prospective purchaser has discussed piping the drainage way for most of the full length of the ditch and pursuing an Individual Permit with ACOE, and DWQ personnel; however, due to the extensive permitting processes understood to be involved with an Individual Permit, we have decided to reduce the length of the pipe to less than 5001' and to make the application for a Nationwide 26 Permit. ( An overview of the history of this site and environmental evaluations is attached.) PERMIT APPLICATION AND PLANS. The site development plan presented provides for piping 4951' of the existing +- 6701' drainage way that would provide bypass transport for off-site storm water draining across the property. As this exceeds 1501' but is less than 5001' this would fall under the ACOE Nationwide 26 permit, and a NC-DWQ 401 water quality certification. I understood that some mitigation may be required or payment of a mitigation fee payable to the NC Wetlands Restoration Fund. The plan also includes temporary storm water erosion control measures consisting of 2 settlement basins, temporary ditches, ditch piping, sediment traps, and silt fencing to be installed and maintained during the land sturbing phases of development. This would be permitted and monitored by the City of Burlington. Although no further mitigation fees or measures are understood to be necessary, we do believe preservation of water quality is an important objective. To that end, we have proposed to provide one of two alternatives to improve the water quality of storm water that would fall on and eventually flow from the site. Alternative A is to install two Continuous Deflection Separation Catch Basins ( CDS ). This CDS system is an innovative device that removes suspended solids, gas, oil, and grease from storm water. The system has no moving parts, is designed to be low maintenance, and will not clog. ( See attachment for design and technical data) Alternative B is to construct the 2 temporary settlement basins as permanent structures of standard approved design. If the CDS system is acceptable, we may consider including the storm water flow from off-site drainage area No.3 in the CDS system # 2. We would hope that these WQ treatment alternatives would be considered on-site mitigation, and that mitigation fee could be reduced. I hope the above information and the attached overview of the situation is helpful, and I would cuss these plans, and the proposed alternative water quality protective measures at your President, Price Holdings Corporation General Partner of Price Holdings Limited Partnership POB 2112, Burlington, NC 27216 PH/FX: 336-584-5156 CEL: 336-214-2676 CONTACTS: Project Engineer.

International Drive, Burlington , NC. SITE HISTORY 8/26/99 This 12.5 acre property has been in the Price family since the mid 1950's. In the Summer of 1995, I met on the property with an ACOE field representative and an environmental engineer. I expressed our desire to drain and fill a pond located partially on this property and partially on adjoining property. The ACOE agent told me that we could breach the dam, and that typically, after a drying period, that tilling of the pond would be allowed. So we breached the dam, and drained the pond . Later ACOE visits indicated that the former pond was drryying in most areas, but that there were some possible wetland areas which further drying would probabl resolve. In the Fall of `97, as the pond bottom had dried up, I told p our environmental engineer that we wanted to dig a ditch in the former pond bed. The engineer observed the site and said that because we were going to dig ditches in dry ground, and because there were no regulations about digging in dry ground, the ditching would be allowable, so we did. This provided a relatively straight drainage way across the property. In September of `98 1 met with an ACOE field representative, the architect for a prospective purchaser, and our environmental engineer on the site. We said we wanted to pipe along the drainage way ditch and till the old pond area . The ACOE agent indicated that the ditch was probably Water's of the US. In any event, we could pipe up to 150 1' with no permit. If we had more that 150 1' but less than 5001', the project could be done under a Nationwide 26 permit, however, we would need to mitigate or pay a mitigation fee to the NC Wetlands Restoration Fund. ( Later on I heard that this lineal footage has to do with how much is considered to be Water's of the US.) Anyway, if we proposed to pipe over 500 1', that would require an Individual Permit which caused a much more difficult mitigation process. We also said we wanted to fill a channel that had been scoured in the pond bed but was not carrying any water then. He indicated that he observed no wetlands on the site and that he (the ACOE) had no interest in the scoured channel. As there were no wetlands observed and the channel didn't seem to be of concern to the ACOE, and as we understood that the NCDWQ only required a 401 Certification if the ACOE said they were dealing with Water's of the US or wetlands, in the Fall of '98, I had the channel filled. In April of `99 an ACOE field representative and a DWQ representative met with an environmental engineer representing the prospective buyer. ( I had understood that the meeting had been canceled, and I did not attend.) I was told that at that meeting, the representative of the prospective buyer said that the buyer wished to pipe the drainage way prett y much all the way across the entire site . The ACOE and DWQ representatives apparently responded that that would probably require an Individual Permit and confirmed that th at sort of permit was very complicated and took a long time. The DWQ representative referred the buyer to representative of the DWQ in the Raleigh office . A little later on, ( Spring 99a) I attended a meeting at DWQ headquarters in Raleigh with representatives of the prospective buyer and a DWQ agent at which several development ideas for the Individual Permit were discussed. From that meeting, it seemed to me that an individual permit would be very difficult and expensive to get. In the next week or so, a representative of the prospective purchaser and I spoke with the ACOE representative by phone to discuss the project. There was some talk about moving the ditch around and to reduce the length of the pipe . The ACOE representative said that changing a ditch was the same thing as piping a ditch, and wouldn't help much. ( Sounded like it would probably be more of a problem.) After that , it seemed to me than the only way that we could do anything would be to reduce the length of the pipe and go for a Nationwide 26 Permit. COMMENT - All of the work we have done on the pmperty to this time was after talking with with an ACOE representative and /or an environmental consultant. We never asked for a permit because we understood that all the work we were going to do was not restricted by anybody. The ACOE representative has visited the property a couple of times , and so far as I know, the work we have done was OK. We do understand that piping over 150 1' of a ditch that is considered Water's of the US would require some permits. As a result, there needs to be some determination of how much of the drainage way is Water's of the US.

CDS Technologies, Inc. provides products and services to municipalities, public agencies and industry, based on the unique solids/liquids separation technology known as Continuous Deflective Separation (CDS). The parent company, CDS Technologies Ltd. - which is headquartered in Australia - has developed and owns this non-blocking screening technology, which is protected by US, Australian and international patent applications. Continuous deflective separation (CDs) technology is an innovative and highly effective new solution to address wet weather stormwater pollution problems. CDS technology offers an effective method of preventing pollutants - such as street litter, trash and debris, vegetation and coarse sediments and the attached pollutants -nutrients and heavy metals - from entering our waterways. As with most great technological breakthroughs, simp?liciq prevails: The CDS system controls the water to enable a naturaa sseparation of solids from the water carrying them. The first non-blocking and non-mechanical s s m, CDS uses fine-screening to prove e a muc more efficient and cost-effective alternative to previous generations of technology. The CDS technology is an essential first component of a "treatment train" to protect and enhance the performance of other filtration systems and biological systems. The major application for the technology is currently to clean gross pollution from stormwater before it enters natural waterways, but through continuing research, the company has extended its product range for use in removing oil and grease from stormwater flows, industrial and food processing indus- tries and to separate floatables and remove solids from combined sewer overflows (CSO).

' Studies conducted by Professor Michael Stenstrom, PhD., at the UCLA found that "the addition of sorbents material within the separation chamber of CDS units can remove 80 to 90% of the oil and grease at concentrations typically found in stormwoter." Levels of used motor oil were reduced to less than 1 mg/L during this study.

Simulations were carried out for catchments with critical storm durations of 0.5, 1, 3 and 6 hours and the results for each of these cases were jound to be similar as illustrated in Figure 5. Diversion efficiencies in excess of 93% for.design bypass frequency as high as once in 0.25 years were found, suggesting that the height of the diversion weir need not be set excessively high to gain significant benefits in the overall proportion of stormwater diverted to the CDS system. An optimal retrofit of existing stormwater system based on a 0.25 years or 0.5 years bypass frequency would facilitate effective gross pollutant entrapment without unduly affecting the discharge capacity of the drainage system. Currently there are 15 installations of CDS stormwater gross pollutant traps in Australia, two in New Zealand and one in the United States of America. Jago (1997) reported trapped annual quantities of 20 tonnes of litter by such systems in a number of installations in Australia. Typical composition of solids trapped in these installations consisted of approximately 60% organic material, 30% silt and sediment and 10% litter but varys widely with the nature of the catchment. Pre-screening for Fine Solids Treatment Facilities Settleable solids are those solids with specific gravities greater than unity and which will sink to the bottom of the separation chamber into the sump. They will include silts and sands as well as saturated organic material. CDS units could be utilised to provide primary treatment of stormwater and wastewater before their discharge to more elaborate treatment facilities such as wetlands and ultra-violet disinfection systems. Solids of sizes less than the aperture size of the separation screen may pass through the screen or may be trapped. Tests were carried out by Wong et al. (1995) to determine the efficiency of the trap for these types of solids. A range of graded mineral sands was obtained and further graded by sieving. Six groups of sand grades were determined with mean diameters ranging from 200 microns to 780 microns. Tests were carried out with each grade of sand for pipe full inflow velocities ranging from 0.5 m/s to 1.4 m/s. The aperture of the separation screen used in the test was 2.4 mm by 7 mm. The results of the tests are presented in Figure 6 and clearly show the unit to be very effective (ie. >90% separation) for solids as small as 900 micron or 38% of the minimum aperture size of the separation screen. For solids up to 500 micron (ie. 1/5th of the screen aperture size), the trapping efficiency was found to be approximately 5G%. The tests suggest that separation efficiencies were largely independent of inflow velocities for the range tested. 3 9 ofl5 -E Figure 6 100 90 u so 0 70 C3 60 a c 50 -t0 C- 30 C -)0 C4 10 0 Sand Trapping Efficiency of COS Unit with Aperture Size of 2.4 mm i O Single Outlet; vel = 0.5 m/s; 2.117.0 (Wong et al., 1996) S Single Outlet; vel - 1.0 rr s; 2.1/7.0 (Wong et al.. 1996) 1/7 ?

Figure 7 shows a schematic representation of the COS unit fitted with a return flow system. Inflow enters the separation chamber at a level above the separation screen. The floating solids and oil would thus be expected to be contained and kept in a circular motion at a level higher than the screen and consequently prevented from passing through the screen. Flow exits the separation chamber through the separation screen and the sump outlet with all settleable particulates larger than the size of the screen aperture being conveyed out of the separation chamber via the sump outlet. A significant proportion of smaller particles will also be trapped and discharged through the sump outlet. The proportion of the total inflow discharged via the sump outlet is dependent on the hydraulic configuration of the system. .-s 10 of 15 Figure 7 Schematic Diagram of a Dual Outlet CDS Unit I Laboratory tests have been carried out to define the significance of the second outlet on the performance of the CDS unit in trapping fine solids smaller than the aperture size of the separation screen. The tests conducted were similar to tests conducted with the single outlet system (Wong et al., 1995) using graded sand as the tracer. Two screen sizes were used in the tests, one with an aperture size of 2.4 mm by 7.0 mm and the second of 4.7 mm by 18.0 mm. The latter screen size is that normally adopted for stormwater applications in the field. In addition to running the test with no discharge from the sump outlet, tests were also conducted with sump discharges equivalent to 10% and 24% of the total inflow. The results of the tests conducted are compared with the results for a single outlet system in Figure 8. Tests with zero discharge from the sump outlet for the screen aperture size of 2.4 mm by 7.0 mm were conducted to provide a basis for comparing the consistency of the results of previous tests for a single outlet system (presented in Figure 6) to the present tests. Two runs were conducted using particle size of 260 microns and 750 microns. The results are plotted in Figure 8 and show general consistency with the results of previous tests with the single outlet system with a separation screen aperture of 2.4 mm and 7.0 mm. The results of tests with the dual outlet in operation are also plotted in Figure 8. The results show the general slopes of the trapping efficiency lines to be significantly flatter than the corresponding slope for the screen aperture size of 2.4 mm by 7.0 mm. The effect of the aperture size of the separation screen was accounted for by nor`Malising the particle size according to the screen aperture size. The result of this normalisation of sediment sizes is shown in Figure 9 with normalised x-axis representing the particle size expressed as a ratio of the width of the separation screen aperture. s 11 of 15 _-t Az- Figure 8 Sediment Trapping Efficiencies of CDS Units 100 90 30 70 Single Outlet vd - 0.3 ms: 1.18 .0 v 60 e 1.1 2 0 screcn: Qt-0 4 Single Out= rcl - 1.1 nvs: 11!7.0 Fi d 50 ne 7 Dual Oudcc Qr10!:, 1.;713.0 730 ' 0 10 0. 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 3000 Solid Size (Microns) Figure 9 Normalised Sediment Trapping Efficiency Curves 100, 90 So C n i0 c 60 Single Outlcc vel .0.3 Mr. 1.1R.0 50 Qr-O N 7 40 Fitted Curve • Single Outlet 0 30 20 10 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.3 0.9 1 Solid Size as proportion of minimum aperrure size L fE: I ' Dual Outlet with I i • Single Outlet vel - 1.0 nvs: 1L7 .0 ? -C Si ` I urve - ngle Outlet ---~- Dual Outlet System QtrJ 1.;/1 8.0 1 ;!19 "¦" Dual Outlet System Qt-24% 0 ' i . . .

Normalising against screen aperture size has nevertheless established the characteristics of the sediment trapping efficiency curves in terms of their general shape and gradient. The experimental results indicate that the reduction in trapping efficiency of a given size particle due to an increase in the aperture size of the separation screen in not linear. When operating under dual outlet, a vortex was observed to have developed at the center of the separation chamber. The development of this vortex was found to be evident even for a small amount of return flow. The region of influence of the vortex at the water surface can be significant and has the effect of drawing floatables towards the middle of the separation chamber but not necessarily of sufficient energy to discharge these floatables out of the separation chamber. The extent of this region of influence is dependent on the proportion of the flow leaving the separation chamber via the sump outlet, ie. proportion of return flow. Velocity measurements within the separation chamber indicated a significant alteration to the velocity profile which can be attributed to the characteristics of the sump outlet. As expected, the velocities in the vicinity of the center of the separation chamber are most affected with near zero velocity for a no return system to velocities up to twice that at the separation screen for a 24% return flow system. However, it is noteworthy that the velocities in the vicinity of the separation screen were largely unaffected. This observation has important implications in that the non-blocking function of the CDS mechanism, which relies on the dominance of velocity vectors parallel to the separation screen and validated in earlier laboratory and field studies, is essentially unaffected by the dual outlet system. The results of the investigation clearly show improved performance with higher proportion of return flow. This improvement is attributed to the combined effect of fluid and solid removal via the sump outlet and the vortex action induced by the second outlet. An increase in return flow from 0% to 10% led to an average increase in sediment capture of approximately 23%. A further increase from 10% to 24% return flow led to an increase in sediment trapping efficiency of approximately 57% over the case of a single outlet system. The improvement in performance appears to be reasonably constant throughout the sediment size range. CONCLUSION A new approach has been developed for separating gross solids from stormwater and wastewater discharges under rapid flow conditions. This technology, based on the continuous deflective separation mechanism, overcomes many of the current problems encountered in conventional gross pollutant traps using trash racks where significant blockage of the trap can occur leading to a reduction in trapping efficiency and hydraulic performance of the drainage system. The innovation in this technology is the 13 of 15 prevention of blockage. of the separation screen during rapid flow filtration operation,. The mechanism by which solid separation occurs involves the deflection of solids away from a filter screen with the energy required for solid deflection being derived from the energy associated with the incoming flow. The fundamental basis for ensuring the non- blocking function of the technology is the maintenance of a suitably high ratio of tangential velocity to radial velocity along the surface of the separation screen. The configuration of the inlet to the separation chamber, the dimension of the sep&lation chamber, the form of the separation screen and the form of the outlet volute chanrigj all have a direct influence on this velocity ratio. In addition to being an efficient device for separating gross solids which are larger than the aperture size of the separation screen, the device was also found to be capable of effectively separating finer solids which would normally pass through the separation screen under a direct filtration mechanism. Tests have indicated near 100% trapping efficiency for solids sizes down to 40% of the minimum aperture size of the separation screen. The introduction of a second outlet was found to further improve separation efficiency of fine solids. Potential applications of the technology encompass a wide range of operation which are not necessarily related to stormwater and wastewater management. Many operation requiring efficient and reliable separation of solids from fluid are expected to benefit from the technology. The selection of the aperture size of the separation screen can be matched to the minimum solid size required to be separated. Current experience with stormwater and CSO applications have highlighted the significant benefit of the technology in environmental "`ianagement of public drainage infrastructure.

Stenstrom Sim-Lin Lau Civil and Environmental Engineering Department University of California, Los Angeles 4173 Engineering I Los Angeles, CA 90095-1593 July 2, 1998 Executive Summary A series of experiments were performed in a small but full-scale CDS device to determine its ability to remove free oil and grease from polluted waters using sorbents. Nine experiments were performed using five different sorbents. One control experiment was performed without a sorbent. The sorbents were allowed to float on the surface of the separation chamber of the CDS device. The CDS unit was not modified to accept the sorbents. Different amount of each sorbent were used because of the varying properties of the sorbents (density and surface area). Tests were performed using a 2400-micron screen over 30 minutes at 125 GPNI (approximately 50% of the CDS unit's nominal flow capacity). Used motor oil was introduced into the feed of the CDS at approximately 25 mg/L, which is generally the upper limit of oil and grease concentrations found in stormwaters. Oil and grease was measured at various times to determine the removal efficiency. Background oil and grease was measured as well as oil and grease released from the sorbents after the influent oil and grease was reduced to zero. Removal efficiencies for most sorbents varied from 63 to 967a depending upon conditions. One sorbent removed only 13171. Sorbent saturation was not achieved in any of the experiments. Very little oil and grease (generally less than 1 to 2 mg/L) was released from sorbents when the influent oil and grease was reduced to zero. Without a sorbent, the CDS unit removed 80% of the influent oil and grease, but released it after the oil and grease in the influent was reduced to zero. This suggests that the CDS unit might be effective in capturing a spill, if the unit could be isolated after the spill to allow oil and grease recovery. -4;-. Introduction Woodward-Clyde Consultants, Psomas and UCLA (Civil and Environmental Engineering Department) performed a catch basin insert study for a group of Southern California Cities and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Project (the project was lead by the City of Santa Monica). As an amendment of this study, a CDS unit (which is not a catch basin insert - see references 1 to 3) was evaluated. The unit was assembled in a laboratory at UCLA using tap water to emulate storm water, and evaluated for its ability to remove trash and suspended solids. This setug,was used in a further study, not associated with catch basin insert study. to evaluate the unit's ability to remove oil and crease. CDS contracted with the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at UCLA to perform this work. Professor Michael K. Stenstrom directed the work. Oil and grease removal by various sorbents was evaluated. Free oil and grease was introduced at approximately 35 m--/L into the feed of the CDS unit. The sorbents were allowed to float in the top of the CDS unit. No modifications were made to the CDS unit to accommodate the sorbents. Most experiments were conducted at 135 gallons per minute (135 GPM), which is approximately 507o of the test CDS unit's nominal capacity (for the particular size unit evaluated - CDS units are produced in a range of sizes). Oil and grease was measured at various times in the effluent to determine removal efficiency. This report describes the research and results. 2 Experimental Methods Sorbents. A Beat deal of research has been performed previously at UCLA on oil and pease in stormwaters and its removal. Sorbents have been evaluated for this purpose. They have been proposed for this application for many years, but very few studies by independent investigators have been performed. This study builds upon earlier work and uses many of the previously developed concepts and techniques (Lau and Stenstrom, 1995, 1997). These materials are called "sorbents" as opposed to "adsorbers" or "absorbers" because both absorption and adsorption mechanism are present. It is sometimes difficult to know which mechanisms are important. Five sorbents were evaluated. They were obtained from the manufacturers or from dealers in the Los Angeles area. Most are marketed for oil spill clean up. Table 1 shows the size analysis for all sorbents except the Nanofiber (mesh size is not applicable to this sorbent). The numbers in the table are percent of the sorbent, by weight, that is retained on an ASTM standard wire screen for the mesh size or opening size shown. Table 2 shows the bulk sorber density. This was determined by filling a tarred container of known volume with sorbent and measuring its weight. This density is not the particle density, which excludes void spaces. 1. OARS. OARSTM (AbTech Industries, 4110 N. Scottsdale Rd., Suite 235, Scottsdale, AZ 85251) is a "rubber" type of sorbent. It can be manufactured in any desired size fraction. The material is sintered into larger panicles from smaller particles. The material used in this study was originally intended for use in catch basin inserts, and is somewhat larger than optimal for this application. The manufacturer generally believes that the removal mechanism is absorption. Of the sorbents evaluated in this study. the AbTech sorbent is most similar to the Rubberizer sorbent. The material is denser than the other sorbents and tends to wet better in the separation chamber of the CDS device. 2. Rubberizer. RubberizerT`' is a sorbent that is marketed by Haz-.1lat Response Technologies, Inc (4626 Santa Fe Street, San Diego, CA 92109) as a clean up sorbent for various types of solvents, oils and fuels. It is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbon polymers and and additives. It can be purchased in as a particle (used in this test) or water gel or assembled into pillows and booms. It is similar to the touch as the OARS sorbent. 3. Aluminum Silicate. Aluminum silicate is a popular material for oil and grease sorption. It is lightweight and hydrophobic. It is also used to add bulk to soil. Two types were used in this study: the first product is marketed as XsorbT't (Impact Absorbent Technologies, P.O. Box 1131, Atascadero, CA 93423) and is sold for stormwater applications; 2) the second type is Sponge RokTM type 23 (Paramount Perlite Co., Paramount, CA, 90723) and our understanding it is that is primarily sold as a soil bulking agent. Xsorb is appro?knately 8 mesh and the particles have sharp edges, as if they were recently fractured. Sponge Rok is larger, with a mesh size of 3.5, and has rounded edges. Both materials easily abrade to create a fine powder. 3 4. Nanofiber. Nanofiber' (Nanofiber Technology Inc, 205 Artillery Road, NC, 29837) is a polypropylene fiber adsorbent. It is similar to fibers made by 3NI for uses in pillows, pads and sausage sorbers for oil spill control. Nanofiber and other similar materials were used extensively in a previous study by the authors (Lau and Stenstrom, 1995). The sorbers all have different bulk densities, specific surface areas and costs. It was not possible to create an equivalent mass of each sorbent on any common basis. Therefore the expements were conducted with sufficient sorbent to cover the top of the CDS unit. When these sorbents are used to clean up oil spills they are exposed to either pure oil and very concentrated mixtures of oil and water. Under these circumstances, they will sorb many times their weight. Table 1.

Oil and Grease Analysis. Oil and grease was measured using a solid phase extraction (SPE) technique developed earlier by the authors (Lau and Stenstrom, 1997). This technique uses a known volume of sample (generally 500 ml for this study) which is pumped through an SPE column at a constant but low rate (e.g., 5 mllmin). The oil and grease in the sample is sorbed on the SPE column. After the sample is pumped through the column, it is eluted with a small volume of solvent (5 ml): methylene chloride and hexane. The sample bottle is also washed with a small volume of solvent (isopropanol). The two solvent volumes are combined and placed in a tarred container. The solvents are allowed to dry at 50°C using a gentle nitrogen purge. The residue is weighed. The results are reported as ms/L based upon the original sample volume. This method is not yet a standard method, but is being developed by the US EPA and others as a standard method. It has the advantages of higher recovery, especially for the more volatile components in oil and grease, and using less solvent (the solvents used for traditional oil and grease analyses are usually flammable, toxic and either green house gases or ozone depleting gases). By using different sample volumes is it possible to have low detection limits, and the 4 -i. limit with 500-m1 sample volume is typically 0.25 mg/L. This method does not quantitatively measure oil and grease adsorbed to solids and an alternate technique must be used for particle- bound oil and grease. However, this is not important for this study because no particles were added to the tap water used for testing. CDS Unit. Figure 1 shows the CDS unit. This is a schematic diagram and not to scale. The manufacturer should be consulted for manufactured sizes and exact dimensions. The reen was 23.375 inches in internal diameter by 24.5 inches tall. The screen size was 2400 microns (1200 and 600 micron screens were used in the previous study to test solids removal but were not used in this study). The screen openings are elliptical. The unit was connected to a high-pressure tap water line in the Engineering I building at UCLA through a cut off valve (not shown) and a metering valve. Small amounts of air were introduced into the pipeline to allow an ultrasonic (Doppler effect) velocity meter to be used. The meter was used in a three-inch diameter section of pipe that was flowing full under all test conditions. Figure 2 is a schematic of the piping. Oil was introduced at a reducing tee, which allowed the pipe size to increase from 3 inches to 6 inches ("trade" sizes used for all pipe dimensions). A Masterflex peristaltic pump was used to deliver the oil to the 6-inch line. Flow rate was determined by pumping from a graduate cylinder and noting the reduction in volume over time. The oil flow rate was set to deliver the desired concentration (25 mg/L) for each flow rate. The oil specific gravity was measured as 0.86 g/cm'. The 6-inch pipe was flanged to the CDS unit. The 6-inch pipe did not flow full at all flow rates. The effluent pipe was also six inches in diameter and discharged into a plywood box that contained the turbulence and splash. The effluent was then sent to a sanitary sewer. Influent samples were collected from the surface of the CDS unit by dipping a sample container below the surface in the influent water jet. Effluent samples were collected at the end of the discharge pipe (a free waterfall). Prior to the beginning of each test, the freeboard of the CDS unit was wiped clean and a small amount of new sorbent was used to remove any oil that remained from the previous test. This sorbent was removed prior to the beginning of the test. A weighed amount of test sorbent was then dumped into the separation chamber of the CDS unit. Sorbents were removed using a large fine mesh sieve. Test Sequence. Tests were begun by collecting a background sample prior to the introduction of any oil to the influent. Next the oil-metering pump was turned on. Effluent samples were collected approximately every 5 minutes for the test duration, which was usually 30 minutes. At the end of the test, the oil-metering pump was turned off and the influent was allowed to continue for another 30 minutes. Two influent samples were collected at approximate 10 and 20 minutes. At the end of the second 30 minutes (total elapsed time of 60 minutes), a sample was collected to determine if any oil was desorbing. After collecting the sample the influent water was turned off and the used sorbent was recovered and disposed. The CDS unit was then drained and prepared for the next test. Oil and greases samples were generally analyzed within 16 hours after the tests were completed.

Influent Sample Point Results and Discussion A total of 9 tests were performed using various tvpes of sorbents. One test was performed without a sorbent to determine the efficiency of the CDS unit to remove oil and grease by itself. Table 3 shows the final, averaged results of all tests. The tests are sorted by sorbent name, in alphabetical order with the test without sorbent 1:1?. The second column shows the amount of sorbent used during the test. The next two columns-show the average influent and effluent oil and grease concentrations. The percent removal column was calculated based upon the average influent and effluent concentrations. The flow column shows the flow rate used during the tests. All were conducted at 125 GRYI except for two tests with OARS sorbent, which were conducted at 75 and 190 GP.M. These tests were conducted to show the impact of flow rate on removal rates. Test 5 was conducted for 125 minutes to saturate the sorbent (unsuccessful - the sorbent was not saturated). Table 3.

This is because the lighter sorbents float on top of the water and have less contact with influent water and oil and grease. In some cases, there was poor mixing of the sorbents with the influent. The OARS and Rubberizer sorbents floated just below the fluid surface and had much better circulation patterns. The column Q represents the mass of removed oil and grease per unit mass of sorbent. The units are mg per -ram (or gram per kilogram). A sorbent with a Q of 1,000 would remove oil and grease equal to its weight. In oil spill control, these same sorbents may remove many times their weight. The reduced Q in these experiments results because of the low concentrations oil and grease in simulated stormwater, as compared to oil spill conditions. Since none of the orbents in these tests were saturated, higher Q's should be anticipated. Generally sorbents will produce lower effluent concentrations at lower Q's. As saturation occurs, the Q is maximized but effluent quality suffers. 3 The sorbents generally retained the sorbed oil and grease. Effluent concentrations were less than 1.0 mg/L except for the Rubberizer which as almost 2 mg1L. This may have resulted because of its high Q. The test with no sorbent is interesting. The CDS unit by itself removed approximately 77% of the incoming oil and grease. The effluent concentration after oil and grease injection ended was still high (4.3 m--[L), and the unit without a sorbent would probably have lost all the remained oil and grease to the effluent. This behavior suggests a removal mechanism for the CDS/sorbent combination. The CDS unit is functioning as a gravity oil/water separator. The free oil and grease rises to the surface due to the influence of gravity. Once at the surface the oil is captured by a sorbent which retains it. The tests conducted at different flow rates show the impact of flow rate or retention time on removal efficiency. The efficiency at the low flow rate was 94171 as compared to 82 and 837o at the hither flow rates. The CDS unit retained the sorbents and released none into the effluent, with the exception of the Nanofiber. Fine fibers could be seen in the effluent when using Nanofiber. Figures 3 to 9 show the results of the various tests. The spikes in concentration are mostly likely due to poor mixing and are more common with the light sorbents. Figure 10 shows a progression of oil sorption on the OARS sorbent. Figure 11 shows an electron micrograph of the Nanofiber sorbent. ?9-. 9 Uy/GUJ ltil, 11: G4 1_L1. 1 J I J ,?•,U 4JjV 1 ..? 1•.1L 1 •11. -., . ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND CANDIDATE SPECIES AND FEDERAL SPECIES OF CONCERN, BY COUNTY, IN NORTH CAROLINA This list was adapted from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's County Species List. It is a listing of North Carolina's federally listed and proposed endangered, threatened, and candidate species and Federal species of concern (for a complete list of rare species in the state, please contact the North Carolina Natural Heritage Proe*ram). The information in this list is compiled from a variety of sources, including field surveys, museums and herbariums, literature, and personal communications. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's database is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as new information is received. Please note that this list cannot be considered a definitive record of listed species and Federal species of concern, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys. Critical habitat: Critical habitat is noted, with a description, for the counties where it is designated. Aquatic species: Fishes and aquatic invertebrates are noted for counties where they are lalown to occur. However, projects may have effects on downstream aquatic systems in adjacent counties. Sea turtles: Sea turtles occur in coastal waters and nest along beaches. This list includes sea turtles in the counties where they are known to nest. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has jurisdiction over sea turtle issues on terrestrial systems; the National Marine Fisheries Service has authority over sea turtles in coastal waters. Manatees: Manatees occur throughout Norih Carolina's coastal waters; this list includes manatees in counties where there are known concentrations. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has consultation and recovery responsibility for manatees.
