I am going to give you a call this morning to talk through your concerns. I have attached hydrology drainage plans, an
inlet computation sheet, and storm drain design computations to provide more information for the stormwater plan for
the project.
Thank you for your time!

Mackenzie,
I'm reviewing the 401/Buffer Application for City of Raleigh's Blue Ridge Road project. Most everything looks
good, except for the section of the PCN for stormwater. It seems to leave me with a good few questions. It
may be because you all attached the S&E plans as your stormwater plan, which is quite unusual for
transportation projects. Normally we prefer that with the Permit Drawings, but I'm attempting to make sense
of them.
For starters, it mentions two retention ponds for treatment. I've only found one, on page 20 at the Noremac
intersection. Could you point me to the other?
Secondly, it mentions: "Treated stormwater will discharge through a riprap pad at the bottom of the fill
slope.... etc". I'm not sure how this is "treated" as the permit drawings appear that this water is going into
curb & gutter and discharging directly into the creek at three points (two at the culvert and one at the parrallel
section). Can you clarify?
(If easier to describe via phone, I'm working from home this week and you can call me there: 919-791-8716.)
Thanks,
