Subject: Request for Additional Information
Stormwater Permit No. SW5190201
Cambridge Southeast Estates
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Blevins:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the subject project on February 28, 2019. A review of that
information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is
needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. In Section 10 of the application, the proposed impervious area in the two tables don't
match. The first table states that the proposed impervious area is 71,560 sf and the second
states that it is 76,830 (excluding existing). If the actual impervious surface is 76,830 sf,
the total BUA will be over 7% and will trigger local peak flow requirements according to
the stormwater narrative.
2. The narrative states that no local peak flow requirements apply. State regulations do not
require mitigation of peak flows and the low density regulations promote diffuse flow
and vegetated conveyances. Therefore, the dry ponds are not necessary, unless the actual
proposed BUA exceeds 7% as a result of the previous comment.
3. If the dry ponds are to remain on the plan, the maintenance agreement must be signed and
notarized.
4. Please complete all applicable sections of the low density supplement and provide
calculations for the swales showing that they will not erode during the 10-year storm.
5. Please provide calculations for any outlet showing that the rip rap apron is designed to
prevent erosion during the 10-year storm.
