Planting Plan for Extended Detention Wetlands: a. The DWQ generally commends your plant selection for the extended detention wetlands. However, you have specified a significant quantity of Myrica cerifera `Georgia Gem'. Myrica cerifera [Wax Myrtle] fixes atmospheric nitrogen and thus, is not recommended for use in a stormwater BMP where nitrogen removal is an objective. DWQ recommends substituting Vaccinium crassifolium ssp. Sempevirens `Bloodstone' [Creeping blueberry]. The Wax Myrtle has been substituted for the Creeping Blueberry on both Wetland Planting Plans. b. Wetlands Grading and Planting Notes (Sheet L10.06): i. Please specify plant provenance of the nursery material. Nursery availability has been included on each of the plant charts for the Wetland Plantings. ii. Under Item 15, please clarify that any "donor" material originating from a natural wetland must come from one that has been included in the approved impacts authorized by the 401 Water Quality Certification issued by the NC Division of Water Quality. Remaining wetlands onsite (or offsite) must not be utilized for the purpose of amending the soils of your Stormwater wetlands. This note has been added to #IS as part of the Wetland Planting notes. 2. Extended Detention Wetland No. 1: a. Please confirm the orifice diameter of 12 inches. The orifice diameter of 12 inches, associated with proposed Wetland 1, is accurate and has been sized to facilitate the required drawdown parameters.
