REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION: STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Willard:
On January 10, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality
Certification to place fill within 105 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road
crossing for an access road into your property located at the intersection of West Wendover
Avenue. and Piedmont Parkway in High Point, Guilford County. This project was described in
your application received by the DWQ on July 19, 2006 and in additional information received
by DWQ on November 20, 2006 and January 3, 2007.
In order to meet Condition 2 of the 401 Certification for this project, a stormwater
management plan for this project was received by the DWQ on May 19, 2007. The
DWQ has determined that your stormwater management plan was incomplete as
discussed below.
2. The bioretention worksheets for proposed bioretention areas 1 and 4 indicate inlet
velocities of 3.0 and 4.5 feet per second respectively. The velocity into a bioretention area
should not exceed 1.0 feet per second in order to prevent the mulch from erosion. Please
provide an engineering device to reduce the outlet velocities within the allowable range.
The planting plan for the bioretention areas includes Myrica cerifera, which fixes nitrogen
and is therefore not appropriate for use in a stormwater BMP. Please select another species
in place of Myrica cerifera.
4. The drawdown time for the bioretention areas should be 12 hours or less.
5. Please include bioretention worksheets for proposed bioretention areas 2 and 3.
