1. The DWQ does not accept the submitted SMP received on February 26, 2010 as
meeting the requirements of the 401 Stormwater Program for the following
reasons:
a. Proof of the Town of Wake Forest's approval has not been provided.
b. The overall Stormwater Plan shown on sheets C-300, C-301 and C-302
does not depict any stormwater BMPs other than one level spreader
shown on sheet C-302. The locations of the proposed wet detention pond
and the bioretention areas are not apparent on these sheets.
c. The plans submitted are not stamped by an appropriate design
professional.
d. It appears that some of the stormwater from this site is being discharged
directly to one or more level spreaders without first passing through a
BMP that provides 85% TSS removal. Under the Town's Phase 11
stormwater program, this project should clearly be designated as high
density and therefore appropriate stormwater treatment should be
provided.
e. The wet detention pond appears to be undersized.
