Dear Mr. McMillan:
Thank you for your help with this road-widening project. We are submitting the additional
information requested from today's conversation with Ms. Lucas and written correspondence on
May 31, 2011. We are requesting for NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) written approval
under Section 404, Clean Water Act, 33 USC 1344. This will assist in compliance with
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39. We have addressed your included written comments in the
following paragraphs.
1. For Phase One of the widening project, please extend the outlet pipe so that it
discharges to the edge of the wetland boundary rather than on a side slope.
Please provide outlet flow calculations that show that the discharge velocity will
not exceed two feet per second during the ten-year storm.
As part of the road-widening project, a storm water pipe we be placed easterly-
adjacent to the road. The discharge pipe from the wet-pond will tie in directly with this
pipe. Therefore, no erosion is expected from the pond discharge. Please refer to the
previously provided plan sheet C6.0 "Hodge Road Widening Phase 2."
2. Please provide the full set of stormwater plans and details that were approved
by the Town of Knightdale.
Due to the large size of these stormwater plans, they were provided electronically and
are currently available in the database. This was discussed and approved by Ms.
Lucas.
