I KY/-, /21 . ?v-eu � K certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of
the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis
has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using the best
available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all

Water and Sewer Narrative
Hidden Cove
Pierce Development, LLC proposes to build a residential subdivision on a 2.26 acre tract
located on NC 210 (New River Drive) just past Shell Drive in Surf City, N.C. (Topsail
Township), Fender County. The site is currently vacant, although was the site of a pre-
existing mobile home park. The proposed development includes 4 duplex residential units
(8 — bedroom townhomes) and associated sitework.
The project is to be designed and constructed in accordance with NC Division of
Environmental Management Stormwater Management Rules (15A NCAC 21-1.1000).
Section .1005(2)(b). The proposed project is "Redevelopment' as the proposed BUA < pre-
existing BUA and there is no significant change to pre-existing flow patterns (i.e. no
stormwater collection system is proposed). The Stormwater Plan incorporates significant
use of pervious concrete, some to satisfy DEQ requirements (100% credit), and some to
satisfy local zoning requirements (0% credit). Division of Water Quality requires that the first
3.65" of rainfall be treated in an infiltration system. The site will be drained to two proposed
infiltration systems.
The project site is located less than 1 mile from the Intracoastal Waterway (SA:HQW) in the
Cape Fear Basin. Existing site topography is gently sloping (0 — 6%), draining towards the
rear (northwestern) portion of the site. Topography suggests that precipitation currently
infiltrates into the sandy soils or sheet flows into adjacent wetlands. Soils are Medium to
Coarse Sands (see attached soils evaluation) which have hydraulic conductivities ranging
from 10 — 20 in/hr.
Proposed grading activities will be limited to installation of building pads and sloping parking
areas as minimally required for drainage. The site will be drained to two proposed
infiltration systems.
Project will be provided water from existing watermain (Surf City) fronting the site. A short
sewer extension will be required to provide the project with sewer service (again Town of
Surf City).
