Matt,

I was looking over the additional information you provided on March 17, 2021. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:

Please correct the following:
- Original Comments 8 & 10 (Prior Comments 2 & 3 respectively) – The full build-out potential of the off-site
drainage areas is 100% BUA. That means that the entire off-site portion of the drainage area should be
considered 100% impervious for the calculations. Currently, the submission shows an off-site area of 441,638 sf
and an off-site impervious area of 334,642 sf (Which is only approximately 75% BUA, not 100%). It is
recommended to divert off-site runoff around the proposed SCM since you’ll be treating almost as much off-site
area as on-site BUA.
- Original Comment 20 (Prior Comment 6) – It appears as though the drainage area to the SCM is incorrect, there
are areas within the SCM drainage area (See attached) that do not appear to drain to the wet pond. It is unclear
where the highlighted portion of the off-site drainage area (DA.png) goes since it is not within the drainage area
to any inlet & there does not appear to be a conveyance from this area to the wet pond. In addition, the portion
of the project area near Ledger Brook Lane (DA 2.png) appears to just directly discharge into the wetland via the
pipe network & overland flow. If it is not possible to direct the BUA associated with the Ledger Brook Lane
portion of the project to an SCM, the wet pond can be oversized to treat this area. If this is the case, the
drainage area to the wet pond should not include the Ledger Brook Lane area but rather a note should be added
to the Supplement-EZ Form indicating that the wet pond is oversized and by how much. The drainage area to
the wet pond in the calculations and plans should reflect the actual area that drains to the wet pond. Please
show this drainage area on the plans and base the calculations off of this area.

Please provide the following:
- Revised plans, 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy (if needed)
- Revised calculations, 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy (if needed)
- Revised Application, 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy (if needed)
- Revised Supplement-EZ Form, 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy (if needed)
- Any other revised documents, 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy (if needed)

NOTE: Per Division policy, the next review of this application will be the final review. Failure to provide the requested
information will result in the project being returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of
all required items, including the application fee.

Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
