Subject: Request for Additional Information
Stormwater Permit No. SW3190505
Courtyards on Lawyers Road
Union County
Dear Mr. Keene:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the subject project on November 1, 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. Original Comment # 3 — In light of the provided information/response to original
comment #3, please provide documentation showing that Bob Kardos is affiliated with
EPCON LR2, LLC.
2. Original Comment #11 — Please provide the following hard copies (Signed in August) of
the files uploaded to Laserfiche:
a. Ix — Stormwater Permit Application with original signatures.
b. Ix — Deed Restriction with original signature.
c. Ix — O&M Agreement with original signature (Please ensure that the temporary
pool elevation, clean out depth, sediment removal elevation, and bottom elevation
correspond to lines 25, 34, 21, and 20 of the Supplement-EZ Form respectively.
Please also provide a hard copy of the Supplement-EZ Form with original signature,
corrected per the below comments.
3. Based on the provided plans sheets, the proposed wet ponds appear to meet the MDCs,
however, the provided calculations in the stormwater management report do not match
the information shown on the plans. There are also some instances where the information
on the plans/calculations does not match the Supplement-EZ Form. Please correct the
following:

a. Stormwater Management Calculations
i. The stage -storage information in Step 3 of the wet pond calculations does
not match the detail sheets. This permanent pool stage -storage table
should not include the forebay area, only the main pool.
ii. The stage -storage information in Step 6 of the wet pond calculations does
not match the detail sheets.
iii. The stage -storage information in Step 7 of the wet pond #2 calculation
does not match the detail sheet.
iv. For the design storm, the water quality volume in each wet pond will be
able to flow out of both the primary and secondary orifices. Please take
this into account when calculating the drawdown time for the wet ponds.
b. Supplement-EZ Form
i. Please include the Drainage Area Sheet. The "Entire Site" column should
include everything within the project area (i.e. no off -site areas) and the
drainage area columns should include everything draining to wet ponds 1
and 2.
ii. Line 25 — The temporary pool elevation should be the elevation of the
water quality volume (Difference between the pre -development and post -
development runoff for the 1-year storm) when stored in the permeant
pool. Based on the provided stage -storage tables, the values shown on line
25 appear to be too high.
iii. Line 27, Wet Pond #1 — The stage -storage table from the detail sheet does
not produce the volume shown on line 27.
iv. Line 34 — The cleanout depth for the forebay should be the difference
between the permanent pool elevation and the top of the sediment storage
elevation.
v. Line 37 — The orifice diameter should be the diameter of the primary
orifice (As shown on the wet pond detail sheets and calculated in step 9 of
the stormwater management calculations), not the size of the pipe
connecting to the riser structure.
4. Provide pdfs of all revisions, 2 hardcopies of revised plan sheets, and 1 hardcopy of other
documents. Pdfs must be uploaded using the form at:
hgps://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW Project Submittal
