STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Siegal:
On July 9, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification to place
permanent fill in 1201inear feet of perennial stream, and to place temporary fill associated with trenching
and backfilling in 201inear feet of perennial stream in order to construct Chamberlain Place Apartments
in Forsyth County. In order to meet Condition 2 of the 401 Certification for this project, a stormwater
management plan was received by the DWQ on June 28, 2007. Additional information on the stormwater
management plan was received by the DWQ on July 17, 2007. This Plan has been reviewed and satisfies
the stormwater management conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be maintained
in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Stonnwater easements shall be recorded for a distance
of at least 10 feet on each side of all stormwater conveyances on all lots containing these structures
including future access for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain
the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures
from potential alternations by future property owners.
Please note that per the latest version of the DWQ Best Management Practices Manual (published July 2,
2007), the DWQ will accept correctly designed grassed bioretention cells as well as bioretention cells
vegetated with a combination of trees, shrubs and perennials as approved for this project.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone me at 919-715-3425.
Sincerely,
h.. ` ea,~
Annette Lueas, Environmental Engineer III
