REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Stafford:
On March 28, 2011, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated March 22,
2011 and additional information dated May 18, 2011 to impact 0.241 acres of wetlands to construct the
proposed commercial services park. The DWQ has determined that your application is still incomplete
and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the
subject property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have
to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and will place this project
on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following
information so that we may. continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Please explain how the runoff from the driveway that passes over Wetland 3 is being treated. It
does not appear to be included in any of the drainage areas.
2. Please label the proposed one-foot contours for the proposed stormwater wetlands and please
insure that these contours match the cross-sections provide (for example, 3:1 side slopes shown
on both views).
3. The DWQ suggests providing one additional deep pool area in each of the proposed wetlands to
encourage population by %'7amhusia, natural predators of mosquitoes.
4. Please provide details of the outlet structures for the proposed wetlands as well as details for anti-
seep protection in the outlet barrels.

Please address the following two issues on Sheet L-1:
a. The Inspection and Maintenance Provisions shown pertain to Wet Detention Ponds rather
than Stormwater Wetlands.
b. Appropriate plant spacing should be added to the table.
6. Please provide a soils report that documents the level of the Seasonal High Water Table within
the footprint of each of the proposed BMPs.
Typically a bioretention cell cannot be placed directly adjacent to a natural wetland because the
required two-foot separation between the invert of the cell and the SHWT cannot be provided. If
that is the case at the proposed BMP site, then please provide a BMP that is appropriate for high
water tables (such as a stormwater wetland).
Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this
information to Ms. Annette Lucas of the DWQ Central Office - Wetlands, Buffers and Stormwater
Compliance and Permitting Unit at 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. If you will not
be able to provide the requested information within that timeframe, please provide written confirmation
that you intend to provide the requested information, and include a specific timetable delineating when
the requested materials will be provided. If we do not hear from you in 30 calendar days, we will assume
that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as returned.
This letter only addresses the application review and does not authorize any impacts to wetlands, waters or
protected buffers. Please be aware that any impacts requested within your application are not authorized (at
this time) by the DWQ. Please call Mr. Chad Turlington at 910-433-3320 or Ms. Annette Lucas at 919-
807-6381 if you have any questions regarding or would like to set up a meeting to discuss this matter.
Sincerely,
