Thanks Neal - quick turnaround.

We are happy to accept the 11x17 color exhibits via email as well - in fact, that would be a little ea sier on our end. If you
send them via email, then there will be no need for hard copies of those either.

I'll be in touch tomorrow afternoon.

Annette,

Attached you will find the revised plan sheets. Sh eet C-5.01 was updated to reflect the change in the rip rap filter in the
forebay baffle. C-5.02 was revised to show the sed iment cleanout depth at 12” on the forebay section, the sediment
gauge detail was revised accordingly as well, and t he rip rap filter detail was revised to more accura tely represent it’s
construction. Two details on C-5.03 were rescaled to more clearly represent the construction requirem ents.

I will send the 11x17 color exhibits in the mail to morrow.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Neal,

Thank you for sending the digital files – that is a big help.

Here is a some more information:
• As I mentioned Friday, we don’t have the digital sp ace to store the full-sized color plan sheets. The easiest
solution would be for you to provide those to us in 11X17 size, which I think will still be easy to re ad.
• It will be fine for you to email me the updated pla n sheets that you are modifying based on our conver sation
this morning. You will not need to submit hard cop ies of those.

Please let me know when you expect to email the upd ated plan sheets so I can share that with my superv isors.

Also, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Annette

the following:

• Stormwater Management Report
• Reservoir routing reports for the 10, 25, 50, and 1 00-Yr. storm events showing discharge as infiltrati on and
through the bypass channel. The bypass channel is indicated as Wr A, and infiltration as Exfil. The 1 and 2-Yr.
reports were not printed since the total discharge is by infiltration, no bypass channel outflow. I a lso corrected
the infiltration rate for the 1-Yr. event in the In filtration / Discharge Summary. That value is actu ally shown on
the reservoir routing report for the 1-Yr. event an d is shown as “Peak Discharge”.
• Color exhibits of the facility build-out – SWM-01, SWM-02, SWM-03
• Pond construction drawings – C-5.01, C-5.02, C-5.03

Attached you will find the revised plan sheets. Sh eet C-5.01 was updated to reflect the change in the rip rap filter in the
forebay baffle. C-5.02 was revised to show the sed iment cleanout depth at 12” on the forebay section, the sediment
gauge detail was revised accordingly as well, and t he rip rap filter detail was revised to more accura tely represent it’s
construction. Two details on C-5.03 were rescaled to more clearly represent the construction requirem ents.

I will send the 11x17 color exhibits in the mail to morrow.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks.

Neal,

Thank you for sending the digital files – that is a big help.

Here is a some more information:
• As I mentioned Friday, we don’t have the digital sp ace to store the full-sized color plan sheets. The easiest
solution would be for you to provide those to us in 11X17 size, which I think will still be easy to re ad.
• It will be fine for you to email me the updated pla n sheets that you are modifying based on our conver sation this
morning. You will not need to submit hard copies o f those.

Please let me know when you expect to email the upd ated plan sheets so I can share that with my superv isors.

Also, please let me know if you have any questions.

Neal and I decided that changing the site visit to Friday morning would be more efficient for everyone involved. This
way, we will save Mike Moran and Neal Tucker the tr ip to Raleigh Friday morning to deliver the stormwa ter plan
(instead Mike Randall and I can deliver it for them – I think that is excellent customer service).

The purpose of the site visit is to discuss stormwa ter treatment for future phases. However, it will be handy to be at the
site while we are discussing the stormwater plan fo r the current phase – if we have any questions, we can go take a look
at the site.

I’m not sure if the french drains actually provide any treatment themselves or if they simple are conv eying the

Subject:Meeting with John Skvarla
Mr. Skvarla shared with us the discussion he had re cently with the Chairman of Ashley Furniture.

First: Mr. Skvarla indicated that it was apparent t hat the Chairman of Ashley Furniture is very please d with the
leadership and responsiveness that DWQ has shown wo rking with Ashley Furniture and genuinely feels goo d about
working with us. Both the Chairman of Ashley Furni ture and Mr. Skvarly believe I had something to wit h that, which I
readily excepted credit for, even though we all kno w otherwise. There’s something to be said for simp ly agreeing with
Sue and Annette in front of a customer. But the te am player I am - why give anyone else credit for a good report. After
all 2 hours earlier my team was ready to throw me o ver the roof of Green Square if the news was bad. I believe that Mr.
Skvarla wanted to personally convey that to Chuck – rather than over the phone. So Team – keep up the good work!

Second: The Chairman of Ashley Furniture wanted to get a commitment from DENR (i.e., Mr. Skvarla) that DWQ would
allow Ashley Furniture to install the infrastructur e for the second and third phase of the project und er this permit. A
subsequent conversation with Mike Moran, with Ashle y Furniture, myself, Ted and Chuck assured Mike tha t it was not
unusual for DWQ to allow developers to install the infrastructure for the second and third phase of th e project under
one permit (provided it’s shown on the drawings and addressed in the application). On occasion that m ay require a
request for a minor permit modification, but rarely would a developer be required to submit a major mo dification.
Major modifications would be required for significa nt changes in either the amount of BUA or the size of BMP required –
neither of which Ashley Furniture expects.

Third: Ashley Furniture believes there might be an opportunity to use or at least restore some existi ng storm water
control measures and wanted to know if DWQ was open to looking at using or restoring them. Not knowing the details I
told Mike that we would be open to using or restori ng the devices, but without knowing more about the devices I
couldn’t say with certainty that they would be able to and Ashley Furniture would need to determine th e cost
effectiveness of providing new stormwater control m easures verses restoring existing systems. (I sinc e learned that the
devices were put installed in the early 60s, back w hen Kennedy was President and the US had a balanced budget – so
presumably they would require a major upgrade that might be cost prohibitive.)

Thoughts: The Chairman of Ashley Furniture is a ha nds on, very involved chairman, within a top down c orporate
culture. It’s likely that he sees DWQ in the same light – which explains why he wants John Skvarla pe rsonally involved
and why he will probably continue to be involved un til we wrap this up.

Thx.

Annette and I may need to take a closer look at wha t’s going on with the french drains – perhaps next week when
you’re in town. I’m available wither Wednesday or Friday for a site visit.
I’m not sure if the french drains actually provide any treatment themselves or if they simple are conv eying the
stormwater to a low area that could provide some me asure of infiltration.

Subject:RE: 12-160 Infiltration Pond Sediment Forebay - As hley Furniture
Annette,

Thanks for the response. I did get your voice mail and called back, but you were out. Glad to hear t hat we’re on the
same page. I appreciate the offer to bypass the fo rebay with the roof water and go directly to the in filtration area,
however doing so would require approx. 3,000 lf of redundant piping runs parallel to the site drainage system to keep
the roof water segregated from the site drainage, a nd those pipe sizes become quite large with 23 acre s of roof area.

I anticipate submitting the full package to you in 1-1/2 to 2 weeks, but will e-mail prelim’s to you i n a day or so showing
how the Phase 1/Phase 2 plan is coming together so you can begin to get acquainted with what will be c oming. As we
have discussed previously, I plan to make the submi ttal in person so we can go through the package tog ether.

Thanks again for all your help in getting to a stor mwater solution for this project.

Subject: 12-160 Infiltration Pond Sediment Forebay - Ashley Furniture

Annette,

I wanted to follow-up with you on our telephone con versation regarding the size of the sediment foreba y and TSS yield
estimate.

I’ve done some research on sediment yield and the i nformation available is pretty limited as it applie s to our situation –
i.e. sediment yield from gravel parking areas, or d ensely developed areas. I first looked at the eros ion control manual. It
outlines the minimum required sediment storage volu me for sediment basins for construction sites, but does not speak
specifically to soil loss rates (inches/year), that would be useful for estimating cleanout frequencie s for a given sediment
storage volume. Next, I looked briefly at the Revi sed Universal Soil Loss Equation, but that appears to be more
applicable to the natural landscape and agricultura l lands and much less applicable to developed site conditions such as
we normally deal with. I then came back to the Man ual and the sediment storage requirement for wet de tention
ponds. Whereas the Manual does not provide guidanc e for sedimentation rates, it does require the one foot of
sediment storage in the bottom, regardless of the p ermanent pool depth. This makes it difficult to ba ck calculate a
sedimentation rate. Then I looked at a wet pond wi th permanent pool depth of 3 feet that would be req uired to serve
the site, and calculated the storage depth in the b ottom 1 foot of the pond. This equates to roughly ¼” of sediment load
per acre, or twice the 1/8” per acre required for s ediment basin design.

We have agreed that the roof will not contribute to the TSS loading . The roof area accounts for 32.5 % of the drainage
area. I would argue that TSS loading from the asph alt and concrete pavements will be negligible and w ill be limited to
what is ‘tracked on’ for concrete, and ‘tracked on’ plus ‘surface wear’ for asphalt. In both cases ver y negligible. Asphalt
and concrete pavements account for 37.0% of the dra inage area. There will be some TSS loading from gr assed areas,
but much less than the 1/8” required for sediment b asin design. The grassed areas account for 21.6% o f the drainage
43
area. The majority of the TSS loading will come fr om the gravel paving areas. I have found nothing u seful for estimating
TSS loading from this type surface. Maybe this is a good future research project for Bill’s stormwate r group! The gravel
paving areas account for 8.9 % of the drainage area .

Given the lack of data available for estimating the TSS yield from this watershed, I propose to treat sediment storage in
the infiltration pond similar to what would be requ ired for a wet detention pond but with a minor diff erence. Given the
rapid infiltration rate in the pond (weighted avera ge of 16.8 – 19.2 inches per hour), I believe the v ast majority of the
TSS will be contained in the forebay, with little t o none getting to the main body of the pond. I pro pose allocating 20%
of the pond area as the forebay. The pond is curre ntly sized for a 3 foot pool depth, which should yi eld a infiltration
time of 1.8 to 2.1 hours. If we assume as sediment builds that the forebay ‘blinds’ and no longer inf iltrates, the
remaining 80% of the pond will impound to 3.75 feet (assuming no infiltration during the storm), and t he resulting
infiltration time increases to 2.3 to 2.7 hours.

As we discussed previously, the design will bypass storm events larger than 1” to a spillway upstream of the pond, so
any concern for re-suspension of sediment and flush ing into the main body of the pond should be minima l.

Let me know what you think of this approach. We’re getting in the final detailing stages and sho uld complete the design
soon. If there are aspects of this that we need to discuss, please call me on my cell [phone].

Thanks.

1. This drawing shows a more accurate refle ction of the wetlands as delineated near the wester n end of the

the area from the surveyors that accurately depict our flag locations. I will forward it upon receipt .

2. Based on conversations between the Corps and ECS, the wetland impacts to Wetland P have bee n increased to
0.311 acres from 0.294 acres as it is not practical /realistic to leave .017 acres of the wetland at th e base of the fill. This

This is for Ashley, please see #2 below. This is t he first I’ve heard of this. Normally I would
require the permittee to request a formal modificat ion to their permit to ensure that the
impacts that DWQ lists and the impacts that the USA CE match up exactly. What’s your input?

1. This drawing shows a more accurate refle ction of the wetlands as delineated near the wester n end of the
proposed building. Please note that this drawing i s more intended to aid the surveyors in locating ou r flagging and is not
intended to be an accurate depiction of the wetland s on the site. I am in the process of getting a bl ow up of the survey of
the area from the surveyors that accurately depict our flag locations. I will forward it upon receipt .

2. Based on conversations between the Corps and ECS, the wetland impacts to Wetland P have bee n increased to
0.311 acres from 0.294 acres as it is not practical /realistic to leave .017 acres of the wetland at th e base of the fill. This
will not change the proposed mitigation.

I will send the blow up of the survey area in the v icinity of the westernmost impacts upon receipt. Please let me
know if you need additional information or clarific ation.

I wanted to touch base with you to give you a statu s update on the stormwater plan for Ashley Furnitur e. ECS
performed infiltration tests in the pond last Frida y – see the attached report. The results were very good. I am still
evaluating the sediment storage component that you and I discussed a couple of weeks ago, and will fin alize that within
a few days. I’ll e-mail that information to you fo r discussion when I’ve wrapped it up. I anticipate having the plan
finalized within a couple of weeks, and will forwar d more information to you as we continue to move fo rward.

53
The test pit data labeled as “Stormwater Managemen t Device #2” relates to an area that is being consi dered for

Following payment to the EEP, the EEP will issue a receipt. Once you have the receipt, you can

Hi Mike,

ECS can coordinate directly with EEP for you to pay the full amount of mitigation for all phases
of the project. Once you have paid, EEP will give y ou a receipt and you just need to send both
John Thomas and I a copy of the receipt of payment.

That’s great that the stormwater plan looks like it is coming together.

John was off for a week but the last time I talked to him they were still working on the project.
I believe he was hoping that DWQ will have approved the stormwater plan before he would
issue the permit but he was still thinking about th at issue. You’ll have to touch base with him
for more details.

Thank you for the update.

Good morning,

Just a quick email to let you all know that Mike Ra ndall, Sue Homewood and I had a conference call thi s morning with
Mike Moran of Ashley Furniture and his consultant, Neal Tucker of Stimmel Associates. We were able to easily reach
agreement on the stormwater management for the site . Neal is going to design a pond that will infiltr ate the first 1” of
rainfall from the new portion of the site (this inc ludes the warehouse building, trailer driveways and parking area and
vehicle maintenance area). Mike Moran agreed that Ashley will conduct a visual inspection of the syst em after every
significant rainfall event and keep records of its performance. The pond will not result in any addit ional impacts to
streams or wetlands on the site.

Normally an infiltration pond is not considered a g ood option in this part of the state because the so ils are not typically
very permeable. However, this pond will be excavat ed in fractured rock and we all agreed that it will be able to
infiltrate. Mike Randall and I questioned Mike Mor an about the activities that will occur on the site and beyond typical
vehicle driving and parking, there will be nothing done on the site that poses a risk to groundwater q uality.

Neal Tucker and Mike Moran did look into using infi ltration swales in the trailer parking area as we d iscussed last week,
but this was not a feasible option due to the amoun t of space required.

Neal is going to complete a detailed design and sub mit it to me for review. I asked him to give me a heads up when he
submits and promised to do my best to turn the revi ew around within one week of its receipt here in th e CO.

Please let me know if you have questions – Mike and Sue, feel free to add/clarify anything that I have missed.

Thanks,
Annette

Good morning,

Just a quick email to let you all know that Mike Ra ndall, Sue Homewood and I had a conference call thi s morning with
Mike Moran of Ashley Furniture and his consultant, Neal Tucker of Stimmel Associates. We were able to easily reach
agreement on the stormwater management for the site . Neal is going to design a pond that will infiltr ate the first 1” of
rainfall from the new portion of the site (this inc ludes the warehouse building, trailer driveways and parking area and
vehicle maintenance area). Mike Moran agreed that Ashley will conduct a visual inspection of the syst em after every
significant rainfall event and keep records of its performance. The pond will not result in any addit ional impacts to
streams or wetlands on the site.

Normally an infiltration pond is not considered a g ood option in this part of the state because the so ils are not typically
very permeable. However, this pond will be excavat ed in fractured rock and we all agreed that it will be able to
infiltrate. Mike Randall and I questioned Mike Mor an about the activities that will occur on the site and beyond typical
vehicle driving and parking, there will be nothing done on the site that poses a risk to groundwater q uality.

Neal Tucker and Mike Moran did look into using infi ltration swales in the trailer parking area as we d iscussed last week,
but this was not a feasible option due to the amoun t of space required.

Neal is going to complete a detailed design and sub mit it to me for review. I asked him to give me a heads up when he
submits and promised to do my best to turn the revi ew around within one week of its receipt here in th e CO.

Please let me know if you have questions – Mike and Sue, feel free to add/clarify anything that I have missed.

Annette/Mike,

We have evaluated the infiltration swales in the tr ailer parking lot option for stormwater for Ashley Furniture, and are
running into some significant challenges. Mike Mor an and I would like to conference with the two of y ou tomorrow if
possible to discuss another scenario. If tomorrow is not possible, any other day this week will work.

We would like to conference via a ‘Go To Meeting’ w eb session and concurrent conference call so we can show you
what we came up with on the swales, and discuss oth er options. If you’re familiar with ‘Go To Meeting ’ that’s great, if
not, Mike Moran would e-mail you a link that will t ake you to the website and provide a call-in number .

Sorry for the short notice, but we’re just trying t o keep the ball rolling in the right direction.

Hi Kelway,

We did discuss a conceptual stormwater plan in our meetings with Ashley Furniture. However, I want to make sure that
everyone understands that the 401 we issue will hav e a condition that no impacts occur on the site unt il the final
stormwater plan is received, reviewed and approved. Considering how anxious Ashley Furniture is to re ceive a permit
and begin construction, I do not want this to come up as a problem later. By submitting a conceptual plan we will be
issuing a permit that would approve the project but not allow construction until further review and ap proval.

We are able to review the SMP in phases, with the f inal review of the first phase of construction and a conceptual plan
for future phases if that helps.

Annette/Sue, Attached is a PDF of the Conceptual S tormwater Management plan for the above reference p roject. It is
my understanding that ECS Ltd. submitted an Individ ual Permit to the Army Corps of Engineers for revie w last week. The
attached plan is intended to address how this proje ct will conceptually comply with the required 401 W ater Quality
Certification. We are proposing to submit final de sign, calculations, and construction details to NCD ENR for review and
approval after the Army Corps approves the Individu al Permit. This approach was acceptable based on o ur initial
meeting onsite with Sue Homewood, John Thomas and A shley Furniture.

The site is approximately 667 acres in total area. We are proposing two wet detention ponds to treat a pproximately 295
acres of new and a portion of the existing impervio us areas. The ponds shown on the attached plan are sized in
accordance with the current version of the NCDENR B MP manual for 90% TSS removal efficiency with 90% i mpervious
coverage. The runoff within the drainage boundary from the proposed development will be conveyed to t he ponds via
storm drainage piping. The ponds will be construct ed upland of any wetlands or streams.

Please let me know if you have any questions or req uire any additional information.

high hazard dam will require DLR attendance, we hav e nothing to do with rating of dams. I will also explain that the
wetland mitigation topic must be discussed in conju nction with the USACE. In addition, I believe they may want to
relocate the ponds to “in stream” which must be dis cussed with the USACE (and possibly EPA) also. I will update
everyone when I’ve spoken with Mike directly. I sh ould be here all day today.

Sue,
Good morning. Sorry about the dela y in response to your phone message, I did not find it until late yesterday.
For the meeting on Wednesday, we are hoping to disc uss our stormwater treatment options. Some o f the key questions
are as follows:

1. Confirm that the current stormwater system is gran dfathered and will not require changes.
2. Discuss impervious versus pervious surfaces for tru ck parking areas.
3. Discuss swale designs for stormwater treatment in a uto parking areas.
4. Discuss ponds and dams, what constitutes a “high ha zard dam”, etc.
5. Discuss pond location options. We are finding rock in proposed pond areas that may require blasting t o remove
to get the pond depth required. We are looking for less destructive areas/options for pond locations.
6. Discuss mitigation options for the impacted wetland s.

I am booked in meetings from 8:15 a.m. until around 3:00 p.m. today. Feel free to call me before or a fter that
time to discuss, otherwise I will call you when I a m free.

Best regards.

Re: Corps Action ID# SAW-2012-01900
Ashley Furniture Industries Inc. (916 Baltimore Rd., Advance, in Davie
County, North Carolina), permit authorization appli cation to expand the
current facility in Davie County, NC

Ms. Higgins,

My husband and I, who are homeowners in the Baltimo re Trails equestrian subdivision which is
located directly behind Ashley Furniture Industries and will be impacted by the company’s
application for permit to expand manufacturing faci lities, are requesting that the certification
needed for permit authorization requ ired by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act be DENIE D by the
NCDWQ. I have attached this letter in PDF format as well as the US Army Corps of Engineers
application from Ashley Furniture Industries for yo ur review.

94
To comply with the current comment deadline of Dece mber 27, 2013 for written comments, the
following are our initial comments regarding detrim ental effects to our water quality for the
certification from the NCDWQ to deny the permit to expand the Ashley Furniture facility:

1. The community and affected property owners need be given proper notice and an
opportunity to be heard. All affected property owne rs were not given this public
notice and therefore may be unaware of this deadlin e and notice.

2. The threat of water quality declination, partic ularly contamination of current aquifers
and Buffalo Creek water supply for all affected dow nstream during all phases of
construction including additional homes, schools, f arming interests and livestock.

3. The likelihood of contamination of well water d uring construction and monitoring for
chemical intrusion once the manufacturing facility begins operations.

4. The likelihood of surface water contamination t o adjacent land from construction or
manufacturing operations that could impact our eque strian developments with
possible toxic effects on our horses due to their f eeding on field grass and drinking
from streams.

5. The likelihood of flooding due to fill placemen t in wetlands. Ashley Furniture
Industries h as a history of causing flooding as they did in Arc adia, Wisconsin October
of 2010.

6. The incorrect statement on page 2 of public not ice that “land use in the area around
the Ashley Furniture property is mostly open pastur e and forest with FEW rural
residential properties…” The actual fact is that la nd use in the area around the Ashley
Furniture property is more than 24 homes and lots i n the Baltimore Trails and
Baltimore Downs subdivisions directly adjacent to, not including the hundreds of
homes and farms across and alongside Baltimore Rd. and others located further down
Buffalo Creek and south and west of the facility wh o will be affected by this.

For these compelling reasons, we ask that the NCDWQ investigate this request for permit
certification more in depth and that certification for the permit to expand the Ashley Furniture
facility be denied.

Thank you for your help and for taking the time to review this matter in more depth and to consider
that this should not be issued.

Sincerely,

Nicole and Mauricio Ortega
Concerned homeowners, Baltimore Trails

Hi Kelway,

We did discuss a conceptual stormwater plan in our meetings with Ashley Furniture. However, I want to make sure that
everyone understands that the 401 we issue will hav e a condition that no impacts occur on the site unt il the final
stormwater plan is received, reviewed and approved. Considering how anxious Ashley Furniture is to re ceive a permit
and begin construction, I do not want this to come up as a problem later. By submitting a conceptual plan we will be
issuing a permit that would approve the project but not allow construction until further review and ap proval.

97
We are able to review the SMP in phases, with the f inal review of the first phase of construction and a conceptual plan
for future phases if that helps.

my understanding that ECS Ltd. submitted an Individ ual Permit to the Army Corps of Engineers for revie w last week. The

approval after the Army Corps approves the Individu al Permit. This approach was acceptable based on o ur initial
meeting onsite with Sue Homewood, John Thomas and A shley Furniture.

The site is approximately 667 acres in total area. We are proposing two wet detention ponds to treat a pproximately 295
acres of new and a portion of the existing impervio us areas. The ponds shown on the attached plan are sized in
accordance with the current version of the NCDENR B MP manual for 90% TSS removal efficiency with 90% i mpervious

Matt,

I met with Ashley Furniture and representatives fro m their environmental consultant (ECS) and their en gineers (Stimmel
& Assoc), John Thomas from the USACE, as well as Te rry Bailey the Davie County Economic Development Pr esident on
8/8/12. We discussed permitting in detail for appr oximately 2 hours at the meeting. Attached is the preliminary plans
they provided to us at that time. Also the aerial photo of the existing site.

On September 12, 2012 myself, USACE, the environmen tal consultants and Ashley Furniture met to finaliz e stream and
wetland determinations on the site. The attached “revised map” summarizes what we determined based on our site
visit that day. I will be sending a DWQ stream let ter for documentation purposes later today in respo nse to this map
which I just received from the consultant this morn ing.

If you need any further information about either of the meetings, let me know. I have not spoken to any representatives
of Ashley Furniture or any of their representatives about this site outside of either of these two mee tings.
