As 1 was writing the permit, I came across some questions about the lateral infiltration details:
i . Typical section B-B indicates that the width of the "media" is 25 feet. However, the basin plan
view detail on Sheet C4.1 doesn't support a 25' media width. I'm not sure if this detail is "to
scale" or not, but based on the 125 x 144 bottom contour dimensions already shown on that
detail, the media scales only 15 feet wide. How wide is the media supposed to be?
2. The "basis for design" indicates that the 12" perforated pipe is to be set back "over 5 feet from
the face of the media". Typical Section B-B appears to suggest that the center of the 12" pipe
scales about 19 feet from the face at 33, and about 14 feet from the face at 34. It would be
helpful if those dimensions were on the details and whether they were to the centerline of the
pipe, or to the face of the pipe.
3. You should probably add the length of the perforated pipe (123 feet) to Typical Section C-C for
clarity since the only other place it's mentioned is in the basis for design.
4. The 12" perforated pipe specification on Sheet C4.1 specifies 0.313 inch diameter holes, but
your basis of design calls for 1/3" radius holes which works out to a 0.67 inch diameter. Does
your basis of design need to be corrected to specify 0.313 inch diameter holes, which is
roughly 1/3 inch?
Please provide your responses and any updated plans or documents by May 6, 2016,
Thanks.

Linda,
Lots 4/4A are to be leased not sold. The reason I grouped them together is that the leasee will use
lot 4A as an expansion area in the future. I have attached a revised BUA table to this email showing
the lots separately as you have requested. As to your second question we would want approval for
lots 4/4A with the master permit since these are not to be sold. I have attached a revised application
page showing the lots broken out.
I have copied Mr. Sneeden on this email so his address is in the heading.
Please let me know if you need anything else. If you need hard copies of the attached let me know
and you will have them today. If you see the need for further modifications to these documents
please email or call and i will address them immediately.

Mike:
First, I want to let you know that I appreciate your response and handling of the LID situation for this
site. I agree with you that LID measures (disconnected BUA specifically) can be used to reduce the
volume needed in a downstream BMP, but obtaining those LID volume credits requires meeting
certain design criteria as were outlined in the BMP manual.
I also want to make sure I understand what it is I am permitting with this modification. It appears to be
a 4-or 5 lot commercial subdivision. Each lot appears to be assigned a maximum BUA limit and the
permittee will require each subsequent lot owner to apply for his/her own offsite permit. That part is
straightforward enough. Other parts I'm not quite clear on:
1. For a proposed master permit deed restriction document all you need to record is the
maximum BUA limit. The individual offsite permits for each lot will get into the details of how
much of that maximum limit is proposed and how much is future BUA for that lot. Based on
your February 23, 2016 response, Lot 4/4A is 2 separate lots. Please adjust the proposed
deed restriction document to provide separate maximum BUA limits for Lot 4 and Lot 4A.
2. The purpose of a master permit is generally to permit the collection system, the assigned BUA
limits for the lots in the subdivision and the BMP itself. Individual lot approvals are generally
obtained via an offsite permit. If the proposed design of Lots 4 and 4A will be approved under
the master permit, then the application will need to be tweaked a bit to show a total of three DA
columns: one for the overall subdivision for the BUA treated in the BMP, one for the BUA being
proposed for Lot 4 and one for the BUA proposed for Lot 4A. Prior to selling any lots, the
permittee will need to record the deed restrictions. If Lots 4 and 4A are later sold to new
owners, Mr. Sneeden will need to modify the master permit to remove the approved design of
Lots 4 and 4A, and then make sure that the new owners apply for an individual offsite permit.
Do you want to keep the approval of Lots 4 and 4A under the master permit, or do you want to
obtain the master permit and then have Mr. Sneeden apply for individual offsite permits for
Lots 4 and 4A?
Please submit the requested information by May 6, 2016. I've already drafted most of the
modifications to the permit and need this information to finish it up.
I can't locate an email address for Mr. David Sneeden. Can you please forward this email to him and
find out what he wants to do?
Thanks.

1.0 Introduction
/ of 3
This basis for design is intended to explain the engineering methodology for the design of an
alternative best management practice (BMP). This proposed BMP represents a modification of the
previously permitted project (SW8 141108, 2/3/15). This alternative design combines elements of a wet
detention basin, a sand filter and an infiltration basin.
The filtration aspect and lateral infiltration of stormwater runoff are based on previous experience
and well known standards for deep bed sand filters used in wastewater treatment applications. This
design presents a novel approach to stormwater treatment in the fact that the infiltration media acts as
a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) in the conjunctive treatment using both mechanical filtration and
microbial treatment of nutrients present in the runoff.
The use of this design is unique from other current existing treatment systems. The system uses an
outlet structure and control pipe to regulate the flow through the BMP as opposed to the hydraulic
conductivity of the infiltration media determining the flow rate as is the case in wastewater applications.
As part of the permitting of this system, the BMP will be studied by Dr. Bill Hunt of North Carolina
State University. Dr. Hunt and his staff will endeavor to quan i e e icacy of the BMP for the removal
of pollutants in the runoff stream.
2.0 Background of Deep Bed Sand Filters
The use of deep bed sand filters in wastewater treatment is well known and researched. Typical
design parameters for deep bed filters are outlined below.

2004, page 1086, Table 11-8
Using the above criteria the velocity of water through a deep bed sand filter in feet per second (fps)
would be 0.611 fps. This calculation illustrates the first significant factor of safety engineered into the
proposed BMP. The use of the control pipe to regulate flow of the design storm volume through the
media is based on an average flow of 0.094 cfs.

tel 910.448.1046
P.O. Box 4039
Surf City, NC 28445
Given that the filter media side slope face has a length of 130 feet and a height of 1.5 feet the
square footage of infiltration media proposed is 195 square feet. Dividing the average flow through the
control pipe by this square footage yields:
0.094 cfs/ 195 sq ft = 0.00048 cfs per square foot of media surface or 0.00048 fps
When compared with the typical velocity of 0.611 fps in a typical wastewater application the
velocity in the proposed BMP is several orders of magnitude lower. Basically this illustrates that the
runoff will move through the infiltration media at a comparatively much slower rate than in a typical
deep bed sand filter.
3.0 Infiltration Material Drain and Outlet Control Design
In designing the infiltration media and its drainage system and the outlet structure several factors
need to be considered. The first is the infiltration media itself. The second is the hydraulics of moving
runoff through the media, into a collection pipe and ultimately through an outlet structure.
3.1 Infiltration Media
The selection of the infiltration media is paramount to the performance of the BMP. The
material must be readily available and cost effective. The material should be well graded with a
low percentage of fine material. Additionally the material should not have a hydraulic
conductivity that limits the hydraulics and dewatering of the BMP.
The material proposed for this BMP has been used in wastewater applications in the
area and can be obtained for a reasonable cost from a nearby quarry. Commonly referred to as
"3/16" by quarry personnel, the specified material is a crushed limestone material. The crushing
process creates irregularly shaped particles. Unlike a rounder large sand particle, the irregular
shape allows for the material to resist sloughing. The irregular shape also yields a greater
surface area for bacterial growth. The hydraulic conductivity of the material is far greater than
required for this design.
3.2 Collection Pipe and Inlets
In order to convey the design storm from the infiltration media to the outlet structure a 12"
perforated pipe will be placed over 5 feet from the face of the media. The pipe will be wrapped
in #57 stone. The #57 stone acts as a barrier to stop the infiltration media from washing
through the pipe perforations. Filter fabric should not be used in this design as it will provide a
location for biological matting to occur which will eventually clog the BMP and reduce its ability
to infiltrate. The setback from the face of the media is greater than the typical depth of a deep
bed sand filter as discussed in section 2.0. This again is an attempt to provide a factor of safety
in the design.
The perforations in the pipe are 1/3" diameter holes. These holes are relatively large to
avoid clogging issues. In designing the length of the pipe, the number of perforations should
allow for the required flow to pass into the pipe. Given a 6" head over the perforation each

anSf six dote pattern the flow available through the orifices per linear foot of pipe is 0.01225
cfs. To achieve the required rate of 0.095 cfs requires 7.75 linear of feet of pipe. The design
specifies 123 linear feet. Given the specified hole pattern and spacing the collection pipe will
still function even if a large majority of the holes were obstructed. Once again this allows for a
significant factor of safety.
Both ends of the collection pipe end in sumps with grates. The bottom of the sumps are 2
feet below the pipe inverts. This allows for the collection of any fine material that may migrate
through the system over time. These sumps can be used as maintenance clean outs as well as
inspection ports. Given the size of the collection pipe and the available access points at both
ends inspection of the pipe using a camera system would not be an issue if the system were not
performing.
3.3 Outlet Structure
The outlet structure for the BMP was designed using the typical methodology used in
wet detention basin design. The outlet structure consists of a pre -fabricated concrete box with
a baffle wall. In the upstream chamber of the structure the collection pipe deposits flow into
the structure. A control pipe regulates flow through the baffle wall. During high flow storm
events the rim of the outlet structure allows excess flow to bypass the infiltration media and exit
the BMP. This is similar to a barrel riser design in a wet pond where the typical design flow is
through the control pipe and excess flow exits the BMP by overtopping the riser.
4.0 Other Design Elements
As stated previously the control pipe in the outlet structure regulates flow of the design storm
through the BMP. This design is based on a 1.5" event. The depth of the media from the bottom of the
basin allows for storage of the design storm volume. The excess volume above the infiltration media
serves to retain larger storm events to prevent flooding downstream of the BMP.
The bottom of the basin is designed to be at the seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation.
During site visits and by reviewing topographic maps of the site it is evident that the roadside ditch
directly downstream of the proposed BMP most likely determines the SHWT at the site. Once again this
allows for a conservative design where the actual SHWT is most probably lower than the design. This
will allow for some infiltration of runoff into the in -situ soils. This infiltration is not considered in the
ability of the basin to dewater or in the treatment of the runoff volume although benefits from both
processes will likely be evident, especially in drier periods and during small storm events.
The basin is designed with an emergency spillway for large storm events. This rip rap spillway is
designed to prevent erosion of the basin embankment during these events.
The upstream collection network consisting of a discrete pipe network and collection basins is
designed with 2 foot sumps in all catchments to allow for sediment settling and removal. In addition the
inlet of the basin has a significant rip rap area that acts as an energy dissipater during high flows to
reduce scouring.

Thanks for the input.Given the stipulations noted in your email it seems unlikely that we could
accomplish the required grading and landscaping in that small area. This is especially true given the
Pender County Landscaping requirements (spacing and number of shrubs , trees, etc.. I will try to
incorporate these items into future plans but given the nature of the current plan please use the most
recent revision with the grading directing all flow to the BMP.

After discussion with Georgette and Annette, please provide the necessary design information,

Please note that Chapter 24 of the BMP Manual indicates that DIS is the practice of directing

reduction credit in the downstream BMP will depend on the soil type and size of the vegetated area.
1. For disconnected pavement, you will need to change the delivery device from a curb cut on the

2. The grading and slope of the proposed densely vegetated receiving area must allow sheet flow

perpendicular with the grading on the long side. Please refer to Figure 24-2 in the BMP Manual.
3. Please design the vegetated receiving area with at least 10' of length to claim a 30%-45% runoff
reduction credit; or with at least 15' of length to claim a 50%-65% runoff reduction credit.
4. The receiving area cannot be "landscaped", i.e., no trees or bushes —it needs to be a densely

5. Please delineate the drainage area to the vegetated area that will treat runoff from a portion of

Re: Oak Ridge Properties at Olde Point SW8 141108 FEB 2 3 2016
Linda,
Please find the attached documents: BY:
• 2 copies of revised plan sheets C4.0 and C4.3
• 2 copies of the revised calculation spreadsheet (D size)
• 2 copies of the revised BUA/ lot allocation(for the deed restrictions)
• 2 copies of the revised application (first three pages)
In response to your request for additional information dated February 9, 2016 please
see the following responses to your comments. These comments follow the same
sequence as found in your letter.
2 copies of sheet C4.3 are included in this response. This sheet includes the
impervious dimensions for lots 4/4A. Please note that the previous application
showed development on other lots. Since that time the client has decided to revise
his plans. At this point the development plans for lots 1, 2 and 3 have not been
decided. The owner is discussing several possibilities with perspective
buyers/leasers. It is understood that the development of these lots will require a
separate permit for each lot.
2. a. Sheet C4.0 Grading Master has been revised so that the curb cut in the parking
lot has been removed and all areas will now drain to the BMP. Please note that
discussions with Annette Lucas of the Central Office in Raleigh confirmed the
fact that LID practices can be used to reduce the flow of runoff to a BMP. In the
interest of expediency I have revised the grading plan as you requested. In the
future it would be prudent to clarify this point with the Central office. I would be
interested in discussing this with you and MS. Lucas or any other staff for rtiy own
edification moving forward.
b. As mentioned above in response section 1, the grading and development of lots
1, 2 and 3 is still being explored.

3. a. As stated in 1 above, 2 copies of sheet C4.3 are attached.
b. Interior lot line dimensions have been added per your request.
c. There is a blanket drainage/utility easement for the entire property. In addition
I have added a 15' easement across the rear of lots 1, 2 and 3.
4. a. The proposed BUA for lot 4/4A as shown in these revisions is the current
proposed development. This layout replaces the originally approved layout for
these and all other lots. The only BUA proposed with this modification is that
shown on lot 4/4A. To be clear, lot 4 was split into 2 lots so that the leasee could
phase his development.
b. As noted earlier, subsequent development of other lots will require separate
permit applications and plans.
5. a. Future development will connect on to the proposed piped collection network
shown. The previously submitted sheet C3.3 which illustrates the drainage
profiles shows a hydraulic grade line (HGL). The grade lire is based on the
buildout of the site and shows that the 24" lines shown can serve the rest of the
development. Please note that it is my practice to not use less than 24" storm drain
line except for short runs (crossing a street to hit a main line, etc.)
b. The application has been revised as required. I have also included a revised
BUA Allocation page for the deed restrictions.
c. The calculation spreadsheet has been revised to show 5.66 acres for the
s --draina&c area and is attached in duplicate.
d. The BMP will be used as an erosion control basin during construction. There is
currently no BUA on the site. Once the proposed BUA has been constructed and
the areas draining to the BMP stabilized the infiltration media will be added and
the basin will be converted from an erosion control structure to a BMP. There is a
note on the previously submitted sheet C4.1 describing this process.
6. The title General Manager has been used per your request. I have revised the
application Section III. La accordingly.

Director
The Wilmington Regional Office received and accepted a modified State Stonmwater Management Permit
Application for Oak Ridge Properties at Olde Point on December-22, 2015. The modification proposes to
convert the previously approved wet detention pond into an alternative design lateral infiltration basin /
trench system. Treatment will be provided by lateral infiltration through a Permeable Reactive Barrier
while active storage volume for a 1.5" design storm is provided in the basin. A preliminary in-depth
review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information
is needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. 02H. 10 03 (g) (1) —Provide 2 sets of detailed plans and specs for the project. The February
2015 approved plan set contained more information than was provided with this
modification, including sheets for a "Paving Master" and an "Impervious
Dimensions/Drainage Area Map". The latter plan sheet would appear to be of value for
this modification.
2. 02H.1003(g) (4) — Provide topographic maps of the project area showing original and
proposed contours and drainage patterns.
a. The February 2015 approved grading plan for Lot 4/4A reflects a different condition
than is depicted on the modified plans. The modified plans appear to be graded to
allow some runoff to escape untreated via a curb cut, or unable to get into the piped
collection system. All runoff must be collected and treated. Please submit a proposed
grading plan that provides a means for all the runoff on Tots 4/4A to be collected and
delivered to the proposed BMP for treatment.
b. Is the grading plan for Lot 2 as shown in the February 2015 approved plan set still
applicable to this modification? If so, please include that sheet in the proposed plan
set.
3. 02H. 10 03 (g) (5) and 02H.1005(d) - Delineate all relevant boundaries including drainage
areas, SHWT, coastal wetlands, property/project boundaries and drainage easements.
Coastal wetlands above the mean high water line must be excluded from the project area
prior to calculating density.
a. Please provide a drainage area map. If the 2015 approved "Impervious
Dimensions/Drainage Area Map" is still applicable to this modified project, we. can
reuse that sheet. If not, please provide 2 copies of a new DA map.
b. Please provide interior lot line bearings and distances for all lots.
c. Please show and label all drainage easements on the plans.

4. 02H.1003(g)(6) Delineate the existing and the proposed built -upon area including
roads, parking areas, sidewalks, buildings, etc.
a. Please update the layout plan for Lots 4/4A.
b. The February 2015 plan set showed development associated with Lot 2 and Lot 4.
However the development on Lot 2 is no longer shown on the modified plans. Please
note that the owner of each lot within this commercial subdivision must submit a
separate permit application and obtain an offsite permit prior to development.
5. 02H. 1003 (g) (7) -Provide technical information showingfinal numbers, calculations,
assumptions, drawings and procedures associated with -the stormwater management
measures including but not limited to: Built -upon area, runoff coefficients, runoff volume,
runoff depth, flow routing, inlet and outlet configuration (if applicable), and other
applicable information as specified.
a. The previously approved stormwater collection system for the entire project provided
for 2 separate drainage lines that joined up at the proposed BMP. The second lute
was a 30"/36" pipe proposed in the parking lot behind the Lot 4 building, but the
layout changes to Lot 4 appear to have eliminated that second line. How are you
planning to convey the runoff from undeveloped Lots 1, 2 and 3 to the pond? Will the
existing 24" line be extended or will you add another line? If 30" and 36" pipes were
needed before, is that 24" line sufficiently sized to adequately convey all the design
storm runoff to the BMP?
b. The total allocated BUA for Lot 4/4A is 58,708 sf. However, the proposed building,
parking and sidewalk BUA listed on the current application adds up to 123,216 sf. If
the development of Lot 2 is no longer proposed under this modification, that BUA
should be "reverted" to future BUA. Please breakdown the Lot 4/4A BUA (58,708
sf) into its component parts on the application and then increase the total future
allocation for the remaining lots 1, 2, and 3 to 187,945 sf.
c. The BUA used in the post -development calculations to develop the stage -storage
function, is 5 acres, but the application reports 5.66 acres. If the post -developed
BUA treated in the proposed alternative design BMP is now 5 acres, please adjust the
BUA numbers reported on the application accordingly.
d. How do you plan on treating the existing BUA on Lot 4/4A while the pond is being
converted to the alternative lateral infiltration BMP?
6. 02H.1003 (e) (1) - In the case of a corporation (Inc. or LLC), the application must be
signed by a principal executive officer of at least the level of vice-president. Please note
that per the NCSOS annual report filed in February 2015, your title is "General
Manager", not "Agent". Unless you have other information to provide regarding your
title within the LLC, this change will be made to the application.
02H.1008(c)(3) - Locate all stormwater management structures in recorded drainage
easements for the purposes of operation and maintenance and provide recorded access
easements to the nearest public right-of-way. These easements shall be granted in favor
of the party responsible for operating and maintaining the stormwater management
structures. Lots 1, 2 and 3 will need access to the collection system that will deliver their
runoff to the permitted BMP for treatment. Please show these easement locations on the
plans. Of particular concern is the easement needed across Lot 2 in order for Lot 1 to
access the BMP.
Please remember that a change to one number may have a domino effect on other numbers. Please check
all plans, calculations and forms to ensure that the numbers are consistent throughout.
Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review: The
requested information should be received in this Office prior to March 9, 2016, or the application will be
returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmission of all required items,
including the application fee.

I would think that what you discuss below should be part of the study of the system by ncsu. And yes I agree
that the study could in fact change the O & M. There should probably be a statement in the permit that the O &

See the amended O and M doc. I have added some additional verbiage at the end of the
document. Please note that the period and length of the study of the system is not designated.
Bill can you help out here?
Also please note that the only real way to evaluate the filter media from a hydraulic standpoint is to
observe the drawdown of the system. Because the drawdown is controlled by the control pipe and is
several orders of magnitude lower than the hydraulic potential of the media and the perforated
collection pipe it could be very difficult to tell when the media is clogged to a point where it is
impacting the drawdown.
That said it may occur that surface clogging is easily identifiable visually. In the wastewater systems
that are in operation this has not been the case. The material has shown no signs of large scale

revised as best I could. I tried to incorporate the factors of safety and other items we
have discussed into the plans. This includes a note stating that the infiltration media
should not be placed until the site is stabilized. In addition there are notes on the plans
and items added to the deed restrictions requiring future development to place all erosion
control measures upstream of the BMP once it is put into service to prevent inundation
due to future construction.
Please note that this application does not request additional BUA for the project.

1.0 Introduction
This basis for design is intended to explain the engineering methodology for the design of an
alternative best management practice (BMP). This proposed BMP represents a modification of the
previously permitted project (SW8141108, 2/3/15). This alternative design combines elements of a wet
detention basin, a sand filter and an infiltration basin.
The filtration aspect and lateral infiltration of stormwater runoff are based on previous experience
and well known standards for deep bed sand filters used in wastewater treatment applications. This
design presents a novel approach to stormwater treatment in the fact that the infiltration media acts as
a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) in the conjunctive treatment using both mechanical filtration and
microbial treatment of nutrients present in the runoff.
The use of this design is unique from other current existing treatment systems. The system uses an
outlet structure and control pipe to regulate the flow through the BMP as opposed to the hydraulic
conductivity of the infiltration media determining the flow rate as is the case in wastewater applications.
As part of the permitting of this system, the BMP will be studied by Dr. Bill Hunt of North Carolina
State University. Dr. Hunt and his staff will endeavor to quantify the efficacy of the BMP for the removal
of pollutants in the runoff stream.
2.0 Background of Deep Bed Sand Filters
The use of deep bed sand filters in wastewater treatment is well known and researched. Typical
design parameters for deep bed filters are outlined below.

Using the above criteria the velocity of water through a deep bed sand filter in feet per second (fps)
would be 0.611 fps. This calculation illustrates the first significant factor of safety engineered into the
proposed BMP. The use of the control pipe to regulate flow of the design storm volume through the
media is based on an average flow of 0.094 cfs.

Given that the Rter media side slope face has a length of 130 feet and a height of 1.5 feet the
square footage of infiltration media proposed is 195 square feet. Dividing the average flow through the
control pipe by this square footage yields:
0.094 cfs/ 195 sq ft = 0.00048 cfs per square foot of media surface or 0.00048 fps
When compared with the typical velocity of 0.611 fps in a typical wastewater application the
velocity in the proposed BMP is several orders of magnitude lower. Basically this illustrates that the
runoff will move through the infiltration media at a comparatively much slower rate than in a typical
deep bed sand filter.
3.0 Infiltration Material Drain and Outlet Control Design
In designing the infiltration media and its drainage system and the outlet structure several factors
need to be considered. The first is the infiltration media itself. The second is the hydraulics of moving
runoff through the media, into a collection pipe and ultimately through an outlet structure.
3.1 Infiltration Media
The selection of the infiltration media is paramount to the performance of the BMP. The
material must be readily available and cost effective. The material should be well graded with a
low percentage of fine material. Additionally the material should not have a hydraulic
conductivity that limits the hydraulics and dewatering of the BMP.
The material proposed for this BMP has been used in wastewater applications in the
area and can be obtained for a reasonable cost from a nearby quarry. Commonly referred to as
"3/16" by quarry personnel, the specified material is a crushed limestone material. The crushing
process creates irregularly shaped particles. Unlike a rounder large sand particle, the irregular
shape allows for the material to resist sloughing. The irregular shape also yields a greater
surface area for bacterial growth. The hydraulic conductivity of the material is far greater than
required for this design.
3.2 Collection Pipe and Inlets
In order to convey the design storm from the infiltration media to the outlet structure a 12"
perforated pipe will be placed over 5 feet from the face of the media. The pipe will be wrapped
in #57 stone. The #57 stone acts as a barrier to stop the infiltration media from washing
through the pipe perforations. Filter fabric should not be used in this design as it will provide a
location for biological matting to occur which will eventually clog the BMP and reduce its ability
to infiltrate. The setback from the face of the media is greater than the typical depth of a deep
bed sand filter as discussed in section 2.0. This again is an attempt to provide a factor of safety
in the design.
The perforations in the pipe are 1/3" radius holes. These holes are relatively large to avoid
clogging issues. In designing the length of the pipe, the number of perforations should allow for
the required flow to pass into the pipe. Given a 6" head over the perforation each perforation

anT six �ole pattern the flow available through the orifices per linear foot of pipe is 0.01225
cfs. To achieve the required rate of 0.095 cfs requires 7.75 linear of feet of pipe. The design
specifies 123 linear feet. Given the specified hole pattern and spacing the collection pipe will
still function even if a large majority of the holes were obstructed. Once again this allows for a
significant factor of safety.
Both ends of the collection pipe end in sumps with grates. The bottom of the sumps are 2
feet below the pipe inverts. This allows for the collection of any fine material that may migrate
through the system over time. These sumps can be used as maintenance clean outs as well as
inspection ports. Given the size of the collection pipe and the available access points at both
ends inspection of the pipe using a camera system would not be an issue if the system were not
performing.
3.3 Outlet Structure
The outlet structure for the BMP was designed using the typical methodology used in
wet detention basin design. The outlet structure consists of a pre -fabricated concrete box with
a baffle wall. In the upstream chamber of the structure the collection pipe deposits flow into
the structure. A control pipe regulates flow through the baffle wall. During high flow storm
events the rim of the outlet structure allows excess flow to bypass the infiltration media and exit
the BMP. This is similar to a barrel riser design in a wet pond where the typical design flow is
through the control pipe and excess flow exits the BMP by overtopping the riser.
4.0 Other Design Elements
As stated previously the control pipe in the outlet structure regulates flow of the design storm
through the BMP. This design Is based on a 1.5" event. The depth of the media from the bottom of the
basin allows for storage of the design storm volume. The excess volume above the infiltration media
serves to retain larger storm events to prevent flooding downstream of the BMP.
The bottom of the basin is designed to be at the seasonal high water table (SHWT) elevation.
During site visits and by reviewing topographic maps of the site it is evident that the roadside ditch
directly downstream of the proposed BMP most likely determines the SHWT at the site. Once again this
allows for a conservative design where the actual SHWT is most probably lower than the design. This
will allow for some infiltration of runoff into the in -situ soils. This infiltration is not considered in the
ability of the basin to dewater or in the treatment of the runoff volume although benefits from both
processes will likely be evident, especially in drier periods and during small storm events.
The basin is designed with an emergency spillway for large storm events. This rip rap spillway is
designed to prevent erosion of the basin embankment during these events.
The upstream collection network consisting of a discrete pipe network and collection basins is
designed with 2 foot sumps in all catchments to allow for sediment settling and removal. In addition the
inlet of the basin has a significant rip rap area that acts as an energy dissipater during high flows to

Mike,
I would think that what you discuss below should be part of the study of the system by ncsu. And yes I agree
that the study could in fact change the O & M. There should probably be a statement in the permit that the O &
M could potentially be updated based on the study findings.

All,
See the amended O and M doc. I have added some additional verbiage at the end of the
document. Please note that the period and length of the study of the system is not designated.
Bill can you help out here?
Also please note that the only real way to evaluate the filter media from a hydraulic standpoint is to
observe the drawdown of the system. Because the drawdown is controlled by the control pipe and is
several orders of magnitude lower than the hydraulic potential of the media and the perforated
collection pipe it could be very difficult to tell when the media is clogged to a point where it is
impacting the drawdown.
That said it may occur that surface clogging is easily identifiable visually. In the wastewater systems
that are in operation this has not been the case. The material has shown no signs of large scale
clogging. Remember that the flow through the media in those systems is much higher but the treated
effluent is also very clean with low TSS. I think that we will have to see how it works out in the field
and amend the O and M appropriately at that time. Please send me any more comments you may
have.
Also please note that the maintenance of this same material in the wastewater application has
required very little maintenance over the course of several years.

The proposed O&M is too general and should go into more of the specifics of exactly how to maintain this filter
media, what to look for, and how often does that maintenance need to be done. You might want to incorporate
some of the O&M from the sand filter. Alternatively, you could attach a data sheet from the manufacturer of the
media which contains the information about how to maintain, what to look for, and how often to maintain.
The alternative design criteria are specified in .1008 (h) of the rules. And remember that alternative design
cannot be permitted via the express program.
Thanks,
Linda

Mike,
Mike during the meeting we talked about this new media you are using, the specific maintenance of
the media and the media shelf life (and maybe replacement costs). We need more of that added to
the O & M. Especially since this is going to be used as a NCSU research project. Linda and I talked
about this and she is going to send you some other things that we discussed in the meeting and we
both think should be added to the O & M.
By the way, Annette and I agreed this could be permitted as an alternative design. The research
aspect will be mentioned in the permit but will not list any permit requirements for the research. If
there are reports that are generated as a part of the research we will put addresses in the permit
for where to send those reports.

I don't really have any comments — looks like the majority of the O&M agreements the Division has out
there. My only comment is that I wouldn't call this a lateral infiltration basin. "Infiltration" seems to be used by
the Division to define measures that use natural soil as the treatment. Since this is more of a filter with a
specified type of media, you might want to consider something along the lines of "lateral filter". You could even
insert a descriptive term like "lateral media filter"
Just.my 2 cents (if it's even worth that much)

All,
Please see the attached word doc. It is a first draft of an O and M agreement for the project. Please
review and comment. What was the outcome of the discussion between staff for the permitting route
for this project. Please let me know because I would like to submit something before the end of the
month.
