Hi Jeff,
In reviewing the updated stormwater plan vs what was submitted to us, I have a few questions:
1. Will the stormwater outlet structures into the channel be above the ordinary high water mark or will those be
additional impacts?
i

2. It appears that the northern stormwater basin will now be impacting the small linear wetland that connects the
channel. Is this accurate?
Can you please provide me with an updated impacts amount?
Thank you,
Brooke

Andrew,
Following our site meeting at the Blue Ridge Metals site on 09/22/22, the project engineer has made the requested
changes to the site plan.
Specifically:
1. The site plan has been updated to show that French drains will be installed to follow the current
alignment of the wetland ditches in the impacted areas. The pipe that crosses where the wetland
ditches fork will follow the same alignment that the ditch currently follows. See attached updated site
plan. A French drain typical detail is also included.
2

2. Confirmation is included on the site plan that the proposed stormwater basins in the southwest region
of the project site will be designed to incorporate applicable buffers to the adjacent intermittent stream
and will be located outside of any adjacent wetlands.
Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Thank you,

Andrew,
I will inform the property owner, but you should be able to freely access the property whenever you would like. There
are new stocks of fill material that have been brought to the site recently.

I am available on Thursday to meet you there too if you would like.

Jeff,
I'd like to visit this project site on Thursday. Do I need to coordinate with anyone to ensure access?

Thank you for the follow up question. We have coordinated with the project engineer and off the following response:
1. The response to request 3 does not adequately demonstrate how hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands
not proposed for impact. It's not clear how the project will be able to allocate run off to the wetlands while
meeting post -construction stormwater requirements. Please provide additional clarification. If it is not
adequately demonstrated that hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands not proposed for impact, the
Division will consider that a secondary impact that will be counted toward impact totals. (15A NCAC 02H
. 0506(b)(3)]
Response:
• The stormwater basins have been updated to outlet into the wetland ditches instead of the floodplain
area. There is no post -construction requirement that would prevent this. By doing this we can ensure
that pre -development hydrology of the surrounding wetland ditches remain the same for post -
construction. See attached updated site plan with stormwater edits.
• A pipe is now being shown that runs from the Blue Ridge Metals property to outlet into the wetland
ditches on this site. This will ensure that the pre -development drainage going to the wetland ditches
remains the same for post -construction. This also ensures that stormwater coming from the Blue Ridge
Metals property is properly draining and not going to be impeded by this development. See attached
updated site plan stormwater edits.
• A pipe is now being shown that connects the wetland ditches below impacts W4 and W5. This will
ensure that water is able to flow freely between the two wetland ditches and will not be impacted by
the final design of the site. See attached updated site plan stormwater edits.
We believe these responses should adequately address DWR concerns. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any
additional questions.
Thank you,

Jeff,
On July 26, 2022, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality
Certification from the Division for the subject project. Additional information in support of the project was received
5

August 25, 2022. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The
application is on -hold until all of the following information is received:
1. The response to request 3 does not adequately demonstrate how hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands
not proposed for impact. It's not clear how the project will be able to allocate run off to the wetlands while
meeting post -construction stormwater requirements. Please provide additional clarification. If it is not
adequately demonstrated that hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands not proposed for impact, the
Division will consider that a secondary impact that will be counted toward impact totals. [15A NCAC 02H

Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e), the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the
proper consideration of the application. Please provide your response by September 29, 2022. If all of the requested
information is not received, the Division will be unable to approve the application and it will be denied as incomplete.
The denial of this project will necessitate reapplication to the Division for approval, including a complete application
package and appropriate fee.

Andrew,
Thank you for the comments. Please see below for our response to each comment in order below:
1. The Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) is un-signed. Please provide a signed PCN. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(11)]
Response: Signed PCN form is attached.
2. Please provide addition information regarding how many vehicles are anticipated to be stored on the property
and how it was determined that 34.2 acres of parking surface area is required. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(1)]
6

Response: The storage capacity projections could vary from 3,500 on average to 5,100 vehicles at peak times.
34.2 acres allows the capacity of 5,100 vehicles with the current layout of storage rows and drive isles.
3. Please describe how wetland hydrology will be maintained in the wetlands and streams downgradient of the
proposed wetland fill areas as well as in the wetland upgradient of proposed impact W4, particularly considering
stormwater will be routed away from the streams and wetlands not proposed for impact. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(3)]
Response: The wetland hydrology (for wetlands not proposed for impact) will be maintained by allocating runoff
from the proposed site to the wetland that would be equal to the pre -development flow. The remainder of the
runoff from the site would flow into the drainage basins on site to be treated to ensure the wetlands not
proposed for impact would remain as they were pre -development. More detailed clarification (i.e. stormwater
plan and grading plan) will be provided during the design process.
4. Please provide a figure depicting the location of the stormwater basin outlets. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(9)]
Response: Please see attached stormwater exhibit.
We believe these responses adequately address DWR concerns. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any additional
questions.
