Thanks for looking into these stormwater projects
The issue in Magnolia Greens is that the pond never draws down, despite the requirement in the permit that it
is supposed to drawdown in 2 to 5 days. If the irrigation is not utilized, the pond stays full all the time. Also,
there has been modifications that have occurred since the original construction to the outlet. There may also
be pipes that were supposed to be part of the original design within the roadways but were not installed. The
certification may or may not have indicated any of the deviations from the permitted design.
Parkview in Brunswick Forest has been reported to have water from the adjacent stream overtopping the bank
or emergency spillway during moderate to heavy rain events, essentially back feeding the pond and reducing
its available capacity for runoff water from the drainage boundary. In addition, the tailwater of the adjacent
stream may not have been accounted into the outlet design. Also, there was a concern about the pond being
built in the 100 year flood plain, or what would be the extension of the floodplain, as it ends just short of the
pond along Low Country Blvd and is not defined further along the stream regardless of similar elevations.
Wedgewood concerns are related to water backing up in the drainage pipe system that extends through the
roadways and ponding in the streets. Also, the pond banks near the homes are reported to be eroding or not
built to the proper slopes originally.
Lanvale Trace concerns are regarding the elevations of the pond banks, forebay, and the catch basin grates in
the road adjacent to the pond. The entrance road is covered in water during moderate to heavy rains. The
outlet box does not have an orifice pipe. The outfall is the roadside ditch, with the flow crossing under the road
through a culvert not very far down the road. The tailwater may not have been accounted for in the outlet
design and the outfall on the east side of the road may be impaired from the original design time frame. This is
the same outfall that Wedgewood drains into.
I hope this helps define the issues. If you need any additional information, please let me know

Thanks again,

David.
We received the two attached letters from Brenda Bozeman just before Christmas. She is asking about
flooding and stormwater concerns in Magnolia Greens, Parkview at Brunswick Forest, Wedgewood, and
Lanvale Trace. Our inspector spent most of the day in these subdivisions trying to work through these issues,
and will return next week. It is a pretty big undertaking. Could you elaborate on the specific areas of
concern? Is there a specific location and/or issue within each permit that is of interest? All of the projects in
question have been certified by engineers to have been constructed per the plan. But, there could be
maintenance issues.
One of the letters asks about the large lake in Magnolia Greens (SW8 000220) which the Town had Cape Fear
Engineering study last year. The drawdown mechanism for the pond is golf course irrigation. It is designed as
a non -discharge system. The weir is only in place to lower the pond before large rain events. They likely didn't
irrigate as much in 2018 given all the rain we received, and so the water hasn't drawn down. If the
permittee/HOA would like to modify the design, then they can apply to modify the permit to an alternate
configuration.
If you could direct us to the specific other areas that need to be inspected in these subdivisions that would be
helpful.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Subject: Received today, complaint call, Terry Miller, resident Magnolia Greens
Hello all — Mr. Terry Miller called this morning to speak with Georgette Scott regarding an ongoing erosion and flooding
issue adjacent to his property in Magnolia Greens. He did not want to leave a voice mail so I had the receptionist
forward his call to me. He reports that with each rain event, sediment and debris washes into an adjacent waterbody
(creek?), and also experiences flooding. The situation has been exacerbated by Hurricane Florence. There may also be a
conservation easement.
He understands that the Magnolia Greens stormwater permit is under the jurisdiction of the Town of Leland but believes
that he also has recourse with the State of NC.
Mr. Miller can be reached at the above email address or by calling 910-399-7472.

Subject: FW: [External] Leland Inquiry
The October 15, 2018 letter from the Tow; of Leland also alleges that the system only has the
"ability" to drawdown to elevation 21.76. 1 do not understand the basis for this state lent because
irrigation is the only means of drawing down the pond. The irrigation pumps cannot cause the water
level to drop below the permanent pool at 21, so it would make sense that the float switch for the
irrigation pump should already be set to turn OFF =ihen the water level reaches 21.0.
As I said, there are options. If irrigation alone is not cutting it, then the HOA should modify the permit
to add an orifice to aid in drawdown when irrigation is not enough or when it is not needed. Or, if the
pond cannot draw down below 21.76, as alleged in the letter, then the HOA can modify the permit to
make 21.76 the new permanent pool elevation and raise the overflow weir elevation by a like amount.
Of course, raising the water level won't help alleviate flooding.
As I stated in my August 2018 email, although the pond was sized to contain a 25 year storm event,
the pipe system in the street that conveys the runoff to the pond was only designed to accommodate
a 10 year storm. I suggested that the engineer look into the possibility of upsizing existing pipes
and/or adding "relief' pipes to help move the rain off the street and into the pond. We haven't received
any proposed plans for that or for any other modification to the Lakes at Magnolia Greens.
Any inspection reports and letters we send to the HOA should include all of this information and
options.

Subject: RE: [External] Leland Inquiry
For the Lakes at Magnolia Greens, the Town's letter references weir elevation; discrepancies, which
we do not have the necessary surveying equipment to verify. The pond has been certified. My
previous experience with the 000220 permit is that there are some homeowners who want the level of
the pond to remain high to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and will manipulate the weir
structure in sortie way to keep the water level high. Of course, when there's a hurricane on the
horizon, they want to pump down the pond ASAP. They are essentially treating this pond as an
amenity, and not as a stormwater treatment facility.
Please also note that the 000220 pond relies solely on irrigation to draw down — there is no
orifice. The top of the weir is set at 23.5 to allow any excess runoff a means to exit the pond. The

stored runoff between 21 and 23.5 is used tc. irrigate the golf course, but that has hardly been
necessary lately, which is probably a factor in the flooding. and is a compliance issue if the, pond is
not being drawdown via irrigation. That's the problem — is difficult to know what the truth is here
because each side has their own version.

Dan & Georgette,
I am follnwirg :jp to the rloodirg/stormwater issues the Town of Leland askocl us to loci;. into for five permits just before
Christmas. The certifications for all five ponds are attached. Please advise if you would like to have us inspect these
projects as well before you respond to Raleigh.
1. SW8 000220 (The Lakes at Magnolia Greens): The pond is designed to hold in excess of what we nor,oi.11y
require. It holds the 25yr storm so that they can irrigate the golf course, but the piping network is only designed
for the 10yr s�orm. (We would normally only have required to hold 1" of vvater, which is much less than the

25yr or 10yr storm vents.) The systL;n was cert fied in 2007, and the Tovin hir:A an eriginect to study ti:e
situation in 2017. If they found that the drawdown w(-'.r is insufficient to dray vdown to the permanent pool cr if
the weir has failed, then t~re weir needs to be repaired and restorer': to its design condition. Linda has be:=r► in
discussion with Leland's Town Manager, David Hollis, about this issue. (Her email is attuchead.)
2. SW8 970104 (Magnolia Greens Master Plan): It was certified in 201.2. Creibhton did an inspection for one area
on 12/3/18. They %,,,cre in the process of maintaining swaies to the permitted condition.
3. SW8 050529 (Brunsvvic's< Forest, Pari<viekv): It k.rvas certified in 2009. No recent complaints on file.

I don't know if this is a situation to which one of the engineers is up-to-date, but if not we may need to investigate to see

declininmg use of the pond for irrigating the golf course. Irrigation is the only (pend-nifted)1'Peans of
drawing down the pond in times of' normal rainfall, so if thal need for irrigation water has declined,
tlmen obvIOUSly, the water level in the pond will most likely rennain above 21, and will most likely not be
able to draw down to 21 witlmout assistance.
I have indicated to the 11-110A that they consider modifying the permit to add a permanent drawdown
orifice which will facilitate drawdown to the pearanEni pool during times of excess rainfall or back-to-
back storms. The ability to drew dwivn the pond before a major storm hits remains unchanged.

Linda,
Thanks for the clarification. I think the meeting went well the other night. I was careful to not declare
compliance or not.
One interesting note from the meeting, Mr. Steelberg, the president of the HOA, said that the pond has not
been at elevation 21 in about a decade.
Again, thanks for the information and clarification.

I appreciate it, David. It's a very fine line.
That is a different hail game. In one of my previous emails to thy; HOA, we discussed that the
consultant designed the po id to contain the 25 year storm, 8" of rail, but only designed the network
of collection pipes for a 10 year storm. There is apparently one intersection th-A always floods, and I
offered some possible solutions to aL4viate that problem.

The weir is essentially there for the purpose of allok-vina the HOA to drain clown this, non -discharging
pond before a large storm or hurricane hits. !t sere,es no other ;purpose from a stormviater
conip!iance standpoint. it must be maintained so that ifie water level is maintained at elevation 21
(sycept in times of drought, when it may dip lower) and so that the water level can bui!d up to
elevation 23.5 before the irrigation pumps come on to start drawing clown the water level buck to
elevation 21. In this case, the design of the weir (concrete, woad, flashboard) is unimportant to
cOmpliance — it iu4 needs to function for ±`s intended purpose, which ;s to [ceep w ater �i the pond
b-atcveen elevations 21 and 23.5, and to ailovv the HOP. to drain down the pond befoive large storms. If
the deign of the weir drips not allow this to Occur, or if the weir has faiiYcd, then the weir needs to be,
re faired and restored to achieve the above -slated rwoiction, or the permit needs to be modif lei!.

Thanks. We understand fully that compliance is determined by you and your group. We are primarily
concerned about how the drainage or lack of drainage is damaging the roadway pavement, which is why
Council undertook the study. I will be careful how the compliance matter is stated and addressed.
Cape Fear Engineering indicated that the outlet weir had been modified from the permitted design and they
didn't find any record of a permit modification to allow the change. I think that was part of their statement about
not being in compliance, but they may have overstated their assumption of compliance with regard to water
levels.
Thanks again for the information. We certainly don't intend to over step our limitations or give the perception
we are infringing on your authority, oversight, and enforcement.

I am forwarding to you my email to Angie Barker, relaying some important information about the Magnolia
Greens pond before your meeting this evening. Georgette and I want to be sure that you understand that a
determination of compliance lies with the Division, not with the Town of Leland. As indicated below, if irrigation
is no longer achieving the 2-5 day drawdown, then we would agree that a compliance issue exists.
I made the HOA aware of their options to achieve compliance back in February 2018. There is no application
in house to modify the permit at this time.

This is what I sent to the HOA (via Ms. Deasy) regarding the permanent pool elevation in the pond. I read the
report and offered these comments. I think some of the confusion may be in what the definition of "maintain"
is. Maintaining the permanent pool at elevation 21 is not intended to mean that the water level cannot ever be
higher or lower than 21. As described below, this wet pond fills with runoff from the drainage area up to the
temporary pool elevation of 23.5, and is supposed to be slowly drawn down by use of the irrigation pumps,
back to elevation 21 within 2-5 days.
I went through the permit after we spoke and this pond was permitted as a "non -discharge" pond. The only
means of drawing down the 8" design storm is currently permitted as pumping for irrigation of the golf course. If
irrigation alone does not achieve the 2-5 day drawdown, then I would have to agree with the Town that the
pond is not in compliance with the permit. If the irrigation pump is running as required, and if the pond is
drawing back down to elevation 21 in 2-5 days, then there is no compliance issue.
It's a simple matter to modify the permit to add an orifice to assist in drawing down the pond during the times
when irrigation water isn't used as much.

Subject: RE: [External] Leland flooding investigation
In regard to the permanent pool elevation of 21, 1 will explain how this pond is permitted to work.
A wet pond designed in 2000, had several design standards that it was required to meet:
It must be designed to maintain a minimum of 3 feet of permanent pool depth - this pond was designed with a
permanent pool depth of four feet. It must provide sufficient surface area to meet the SA/DA ratio. For a 4-foot
deep pond, this minimum ratio is 2.47%, or 182,837 sf of surface area to be provided. This pond provides
599,882 sf of surface area. It must be designed to store the minimum design storm volume above the
permanent pool elevation. The minimum volume to store is 1.47 million cubic feet. This pond stores 1.62
million cubic feet of volume between the permanent pool at 21 and the temporary pool elevation of 23.5.
However, it is acknowledged that at certain times of the year or during drought, the permanent pool elevation
may naturally drop down below 21, which is fine. The permit prohibits the permittee from pumping down the
permanent pool elevation below 21, even with irrigation. It must drawdown the design storm within 2-5 days.
The original developer wanted to use the pond as a source of irrigation for the golf course, so this pond was
designed to store 8" of rain instead of the standard one inch of rain. The original designer indicated in the
original engineering report that the irrigation needs of the golf course would meet the required 2-5 day

drawdown. It appears that the latest engineering report is acknowledging that perhaps relying solely on
irrigation as the means to meet the 2-5 day draw down requirement isn't working as it was intended.
The 21 and 23.5 elevations are in the permit today, but they can be changed by submitting a permit
modification. If the HOA doesn't want to use the pond for irrigation anymore, or wants to add an orifice, or
change the outlet structure design, or reduce the design storm, then these things can be accomplished by a
permit modification. Until that modification is submitted and approved, the engineering report is correct that the
permanent pool elevation of 21 must be maintained except as noted in item 3 above.

Hi Linda
I just wanted to give you a heads up about a few things regarding the meeting tomorrow.
We met with the HOA pond/ stormwater committee on Friday (12-11). 1 will be attending the meeting as well as 2 members of the HOA
tomorrow.
Below are a few items we discussed Friday:
• Modifying the storage volume of the non -discharge permit. Is it possible to lower the non -discharge amount below the 25yr
storm? There have been discussions/ questions as to whether then pond/ weir elevation can be lowered (-1.0') to Elev. 22.5'.
• If the 25yr storm is the required volume for non -discharge permits then we would like to discuss possibly converting this pond
to a more traditional pond with controlled discharge.
• Is it possible to have a conventional pond that also provides irrigation water to golf course. The golf course says it needs
minimum 1' of stored water (above normal pool?).
• If no other feasible alternatives are determined then discuss lowering weir outlet to minimum storage elevation (elev. 23.3')(a -
0.2' drop from current weir elevation) in approved calculations & widening of spillway to reduce pond peak in larger storm
events.
The HOA is having all the ponds in the system surveyed (including the finger lakes). The property owners & HOA have concerns about
lowering the pond level too much as they feel that doing so may lower the water level in the finger lakes to an unsatisfactory levels.
They are looking for ways to improve the drainage of their SD system without wholesale modification to the existing SD system. In
review of the supplied design calculations we have determined that the most cost effective means to improved performance within the
system is to lower its starting HGL (=pond peak) thus lowering its peak during rain events.
Just some stuff to think about.... I think the perfect solution is to be able to modify the pond to a more traditional pond that operates and
discharges with more frequency than the 25 yr storm but also has additional storage volume built into it to provide the irrigation volume
necessary to support the golf course during dry periods. Any help and insight tomorrow will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph (Jody) K. Bland, P.E.

Jody- I don't think I can accommodate a meeting next week — I'm already scheduled for 2 vacation days (Monday &
Tuesday), and I've got a lot of review work to get done before the 2 week holiday break. The earliest I could meet is
December 15.
The Division investigated a complaint of flooding at Magnolia Greens several years ago in connection with the transfer of
this permit to the HOA. The situation was thoroughly researched to the point of exhaustion. The HOA was made aware
that flooding is not a violation of the permit, but if that flooding is a result of failure to maintain the pond, then we will
consider that a violation. There are a few simple issues associated with the flooding that were discovered after all that
research:
1. The pond is designed to store a 25 year storm, but the piped collection system that conveys the runoff is only
designed for a 10 year storm.
2. The permitted pond is actually a series of individual ponds interconnected by piping. The water level is supposed
to rise and fall as one. It has been alleged that the piping is too small and doesn't allow for the uniform rise and
fall of the water elevation within each pond. It has been alleged that the smaller ponds receive the lion's share
of the runoff and because the interconnected piping might be too small or clogged up, the water tends to back
up and flood the road in a couple of places.
3. Folks who live along the canal that leads to the outlet structure like to "adjust" elevations as they see fit and not
tell anyone.
The possible fixes that the Division proposed were to upsize the collection system or provide an overflow within the.
catch basins that redirected some of that runoff to the second larger pond in the series rather than into the smaller first
pond. Other alternatives were intended to facilitate better flow, including to add more pipes under the road crossings at
various elevations or to replace the pipes with box culverts or to just bridge the entire road. The final thing was to make
the outlet structure inaccessible to residents.
Let me know about meeting on the 15th asap.

Hi Cameron/ Linda,
I wasn't sure whom to contact to request a meeting so I chose you guys.
We have been hired by the HOA at Magnolia Greens to review & analyze options for the no discharge pond related to the subject
permit above. During the recent heavy rain events, they experienced some road flooding in some of the neighborhood streets which
drain to this pond. They have requested that we review & explore options to help reduce/ alleviate these occurrences. A couple of
options proposed involve modifying the outlet condition of this pond. We felt it may be best to have sit down meeting to discuss options
and history related to this pond since we did not originally design this system. Please provide some available dates & times and we
hope we can coordinate a meeting in the near future. Currently, both my calendar and Phil's calendar are pretty open next week. I
anticipate that a meeting should take about 30 minutes.

Charles,
discussed this ;with my supervisor and we determined that Operations and Maintenance Agreement gives you
permission to operate the weir. The only thing this office would require is notification when the HOA is drawing down
the system for flood control.

Subject: Magnolia Greens Weir
David, enjoyed speaking with you yesterday. As we discussed, the Association would request that the permit that would
cover the ponds that drain to the weir include language allowing the Association to lower the weir prior to heavy rain
events. The Town of Leland does not want this responsibility. Check with your supervisors and get back with me.
Thank you,
Charles D. Meier
