(Jennifer Burdette)
A request has been received for the WQC to grant a Major Variance from the Randleman Lake Riparian
Area Protection Rules diffuse flow requirements to Blue Diamond Investment Company, LLC for an
undeveloped property in Kernersville, NC. A stormwater bypass system must be constructed to convey
stormwater runoff from the Blue Diamond property through the Veterans Administration Hospital site.
Blue Diamond Investments is requesting a variance to delay installation of a stormwater BMP until
development of the Blue Diamond property begins. Based on the information submitted, the Town of
Kernersville and DWR support this request for a Major Variance from the Randleman Lake Riparian Area
Protection Rules because all of the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0250 are met. (Attachments
