BISER Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director Fleet Temple Engineering, PLLC Attn: Fleet Temple, PE 5245 Red Hill Church Road Coats, NC 27521 AND NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality October 25, 2022 B S Land, LLC Attn: Bradley Stancil, Managing Member 466 Stancil Road Angier, NC 27501 Subject: Request for Additional Information Stormwater Permit No. SW6220801 Shiloh Harnett County Dear Mr. Temple and Mr. Stancil: The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for the subject project on August 2, 2022. A review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: Do not include the surface water area as part of the Project Area/Low-Density Drainage Area (Section IV, 10 of the Application, Line 2 on the Cover Page of the Supplement-EZ Form, Lines 5 & 6 on the Drainage Area Page of the Supplement-EZ Form, & project density calculation). You may also wish to verify the correctness of the total surface water area used (11.95 acres) as it seems high for this project. NOTE: "Surface water" is the area between the banks of a blue line stream as shown on the USGS topographic map or the normal pool elevation of a pond as shown on the USGS topographic map. 2. Please ensure that the project density calculations are signed and sealed (15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(f)). 3. The provided details of some of the vegetated conveyances show cross -slopes of 2:1 while the maximum allowable side slope is 3:1 (15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(i)). Steeper North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 1 1612 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 NORTH CAROLINA _ oepm nt of EnvimnmwUl uwl ry 919.707.9200 side slopes are allowable if engineering calculations and an on -site soil investigation are provided showing that the soils & vegetation will remain stable in perpetuity. 4. The provided deed restriction document and calculations indicate 12,000 sf of BUA per lot while Section IV, 10 of the Application indicates 11,000 sf of BUA. Please revise as needed. 5. The provided Application and Supplement-EZ Form shows the total amount of BUA for this project as 1,093,170 sf while the calculations show a total BUA of 1,212,170 sf. Please revise as needed. NOTE: The sum of the BUA as shown in the Application is incorrect (11,000 sf/lot * 89 lots + 144,170 sf # 1,093,170 sf). 6. The provided flow rate calculations for Curb Outlet Swales 45-54 appear to be off. For example, swale 53 is shown to have a rational coefficient, C, of 0.5, a drainage area of 3.8 ac, and an intensity of 7.2 in/hr. Using the Rational Method results in a flow rate of approximately 13.7 cfs while the calculations show 0.8 cfs. Please revise as needed. 7. The provided velocity calculation for swale 44 appears to be off. Using the given information for this swale (Q = 5.4 cfs, B = 4 ft, side slopes = 3:1, longitudinal slope = 7.49%, & n = 0.03) results in a depth of flow of approximately 2.9 in (a cross -sectional area of approximately 1.139 sf, and a wetted perimeter of approximately 5.525 ft) which results in a velocity of approximately 4.74 fps using Manning's Equation (3.50 fps is shown). Please revise as needed. 8. Curb Outlet Swales 45, 47, 50, & 51 do not appear to meet the design requirements of a curb outlet swale (15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(d)). Swales 47, 50, & 51 have longitudinal slopes in excess of 5% (maximum 5% slope per the rule, steeper slopes are allowed if unavoidable & check dams are provided) and swales 45, 47, & 51 appear to have a length of less than 100 ft (minimum 100 ft length per the rules). Please revise as needed. NOTE: Curb outlet swales are only required if the project utilizes curb and gutters. 9. The plans show "New Swale `A"' for swales that appear to use the "Permanent Swale `E"' detail. Please revise as needed. 10. The actual velocity for swales 7 & 8 (5.1 fps) exceeds the allowable velocity for these swales (5.0 fps) (15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(ii)). Please revise as needed. 11. Please ensure that any vegetated conveyance discharging to a wetland area does so at a non -erosive velocity (<= 2.0 fps for wetlands) (15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(ii)). 12. Please provide the additional pages of the O&M Agreement Form (the pages indicating which O&M activities are to be provided and how often) as only the signed cover page was provided (15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)0)). 13. Please correct the following issues with the Supplement-EZ Form: a. Cover Page: i. Line 2 — See earlier comment. ii. Line 4 — See earlier comment. iii. Lines 7 & 8 — Please complete these items (the vegetated setback is provided from surface waters and more information can be found in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(4) & .1017(10)). b. Drainage Areas Page: i. Lines 5 & 6 — See earlier comment. ii. Line 8 — See earlier comment. iii. Line 9 — This item should only include the BUA allocated to the individual lots. It should correspond to the information shown on the `Buildings/Lots line of the table in Section IV, 10 of the Application and the information in the Deed Restriction Document. iv. Line 10 — This item should only include the BUA located in the common areas. This item is a sum of the items of Line 12. v. Line 12 — These items should only include the BUA located in the common areas, broken down by type. vi. Line 18 — Recalculate if needed (see earlier comment). vii. Line 19 — This item is not required. c. Low -Density Page: i. Line 4 — Please include this item. If there are difficulties with formatting this cell, please either manually enter it or include this information in the Additional Information Section (Line 15). ii. Line 5 — See earlier comment. iii. Lines 6-11 — See earlier comment. If curb outlet swales are proposed, please indicate which swales are curb outlet swales in the Additional Information Section. iv. Please provide the swale design information for swales 31 — 54 (attach an additional sheet as needed). 14. Provide PDFs of all revisions, 2 hardcopies of revised plan sheets, 1 hardcopy of other documents, and a response to comments letter briefly describing how the comments have been addressed. a. PDFs must be uploaded using the form at: https:.//edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload b. Hard copies must be mailed or delivered to the following address: i. For FedEx/UPS: Jim Farkas 512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640E Raleigh, NC 27604 ii. For LISPS: Jim Farkas 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 iii. Hand Delivery: Please reach out to me prior to hand delivering a submission to make sure that I (or someone else in my group) will be able to receive the submission. Do not leave the package in the foyer with the security guard. NOTE: Hard copies should not be sent to a Regional Office. Doing so will delay the review process and the submission package may be lost while being sent from the Regional Office to me in the Central Office. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to November 24, 2022, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. Please reference the State assigned project number SW6220801 on all correspondence. If you need additional time to submit the information, please submit your request for a time extension to the Division at the contact below. The request must indicate the date by which you expect to submit the required information. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application to issue the permit. The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and is subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.
