REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Ferguson:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
DWQ Project # 06-1617
Wake County
On October 13, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated September 26,
2006, to impact 5.2 acres of 404/wetland, 3,416 linear feet of stream, and 355,450 square feet of Neuse River
basin protected riparian buffer, to construct the proposed Wendell Falls residential subdivision, commercial
development, road improvements, and US Highway 64/264 interchange. On October 13, 2006, the DWQ
received the Public Notice issued October 13, 2006, for the project. On January 26, 2007, February 9, 2007,
and June 13, 2007, the DWQ received additional information from you, however, the DWQ has determined that
your application remains incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ
will require additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or
streams on the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information
requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 1 SA NCAC 2H .0506
and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide
the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. The percent imperviousness for the drainage area of each one of the proposed level spreaders in SF-1
and SF-2 is in excess of 30 percent. Therefore, every one of these drainage areas is considered a pocket
of high density development that will require appropriate stormwater treatment per General
Certification 3631. Please provide a separate BMP worksheet for each proposed device as well as all
information listed in Part II: Required Items Checklist.
2. For BMP 3.1, it appears that an error was made in calculation the temporary pool volume. The value
that was reported in the BMP worksheet does not correspond with the depth and permanent pool surface
area that were reported. Please correct this error and check to see if an adequate temporary pool
volume has been provided to handle the water quality storm.
3. For BMP 3.2, the surface areas reported in the worksheet do not add up to the permanent pool surface
area. In addition, the temporary pool volume that was reported in the BMP worksheet does not
correspond with the depth and permanent pool surface area that were reported. Please correct this error
