Yes, that's fine. Thank you so much for getting back with me on this.

Hello Chonticha,
Thank you for your patience with my response.
Yes: we will be providing a general plant list and schematic section for the rain gardens.
We are coordinating this effort (design of proposed rain gardens) with the civil engineer, and would like to submit the
above information with the detailed stormwater package the civil is preparing for the Reception parking lot area.
i

Is it acceptable to provide this information with the detailed package?
Thank you,

Hi Jill,
The attached basic diagram for the rain gardens in LID area looks fine. However, I just want to clarify that I expect to see
full details and calculations on the primary SCM (bio cell) in higher density areas as discussed during our meeting and I
still believe we are on the same page on this. Also, will you be able to provide the profile view and plant list or planting
plan for the rain gardens?
Thank you for letting us look at this beforehand and let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Chonticha,
We had the pleasure of [virtually] meeting during a 3/23 video call that included Joel Osgood (OLA, Inc), Clement Riddle
(ClearWater, Inc), and Andrew Moore.
During this call, we discussed DWR Comment #7b (from Request for Additional Information dated March 11, 2022),
excerpted below.
Please submit a complete Stormwater Management Plan for the project. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (3)].
b. The application states that the overall site response regarding stormwater and drainage is to use an
Integrated Water Resources Plan for the project that integrates natural patterns of hydrology into the site
master plan. Please provide more detailed information regarding stormwater from all impervious surfaces
throughout the project. Specifically identify all new impervious surfaces on an overall plan sheet and
provide indication of stormwater collection/conveyance for each drainage area will be managed. The
Division is particularly interested regarding impervious surfaces within 50 feet of streams and/or on steep
topography where overland flow may not be successful and may lead to channelization and/or erosion.
For any areas where measures such as rain gardens, vegetated swales, or other constructed stormwater
control measures are proposed, provide detailed information regarding the sizing, location and outlets of
such measures.
OLA was to provide a basic diagram and calculations (considering 1"/first flush capture) for proposed stormwater
management in key areas. (Management primarily includes install of bioinfiltration basins.)
You kindly offered to complete a preliminary review of a diagram to ensure it provides the level of information required
for DWR review.
Thank you, again, for this offer.
Following this, attached please find a draft diagram for your review. Please also note that the site civil engineer is
currently reviewing the location and sizing of proposed bioinfiltration
With appreciation,
