P.O. Box 1967 Wilmington, North Carolina. 28402 (910) 540-9716 Modification Date: August 2004 = 4 SEA J( ,LJpp 02VG0 Prepared by Cape Fear Engineering, Inc. 151 Poole Road, Suite 100 Belville, North Carolina 28451 (910) 383-i044 DESIGN NARRATIVE L GENERAL: The project site is located within Brunswick County, North Carolina and is bound by US Hwy. 74/76 to the north, Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation to the west, US Hwy. 17 to the east, and Lincoln Industrial Park to the south. The project site is approximately 568 acres. Drainage considerations are to be in accordance with DWQ stormwater requirements. The intent of this project is to develop the infrastructure to support a residential and commercial development. This is a high -density submittal with curbed and guttered streets draining to a surrounding non -discharge lake system. 2. EXISTING SITE: Site topography in the area is relatively flat with slopes typically less than (2) percent. Areas of environmental concern, including potential wetland areas, are shown on the plan and will remain undisturbed. Most of the site drains to the east, under US Highway 74/76, and ultimately to Sturgeons Creek, which has a stream classification of SC. A small portion of the project will drain to the south, under US Highway 17, and ultimately to Jackeys Creek which also has a stream classification of SC. Vegetation consists primarily of grasses and minor ground cover within the areas of the improvement. Subsurface soils are typically a mixture of sands, silty sands and organics. 3. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS: Proposed improvements include the installation of municipal utilities (water, sewer, and storm drainage), small utilities (power, cable, telephone), and curb and gutter streets to serve a mixed use development of single family residential, multi -family residential, a recreation center, and commercial development. Drainage for the most part will be contained within the streets, which will have curb and gutter to direct drainage to low points. Drainage at the low points in the streets will flow into a storm drain collection system that will convey all runoff to inter -connected non - discharge stormwater lakes. The non -discharge lake system is an eight tier system with normal water surfaces controlled by riser structures. Pond #1 has an increased drainage area of approximately 11.66 acres. The entrance and main roadway make up approximately 4 acres of the drainage area to Pond #1, while the remaining acreage is from Tract W. The water level in Pond #1 rises only 1.55 feet in response to the 25 year storm event, discharging a negligible volume to Pond #2. Pond #2 and Pond #5 are. interconnected by a 24" pipe. The Pond ra#2-#5 system has a drainage area of approximately 32.9 acres. Surrounding roadways, all of the residential Tract `C' and Tract `F' drain to this system. In the 25 year storm event, the ponds rise 1.64', discharging a negligible volume to Pond #15, which is connected to Pond #8 through Swale #7. Pond system #3 has a drainage area of approximately 5.41 acres. The surrounding roadways and a portion of the amenity center (Tract D) drain to this system. In the 25 year storm event, the pond rises 0.45', discharging a negligible volume to Pond #2. Pond system #4 is an isolated amenity pond without any storage. No area drains to Pond # 4 and it discharges directly to Pond #2. Swale #7 has a drainage area of approximately 5.42 acres. It connects Ponds #14 and #15 to Pond #8. Swale #7 claims no retention and is simply a connection for the pond system. No proposed improvements drain to this area. Pond system #10 has grown and is now connected to Ponds #11, #12 and #13. All of the lots in Tract `J' (97.97 acres) and Tract `G' (50.65 acres) drain to this pond system. Also, approximately 8 acres comprised mainly of runoff from the back of lots 97-102 and lots 119-130 of Tract `B' and a small portion of the main road drain to the Pond #10, #11, #12 and #13 system. The water level in the Ponds rises only 0.33 feet in response to the 25 year storm event, discharging a negligible volume to Pond #9. Pond #9 has a drainage area of 24 acres, comprised of lot and road drainage from Roads F, J, K, L, and M of Tract `B' (see plan for specific drainage area). Pond #9 also receives the lake discharge from the Pond #10, 11, 12 and 13 system. The water level in Pond #9 rises 0.89 feet in response to the 25 year storm event, discharging a negligible volume to Pond #8. Pond #8 previously had a drainage area of 109.28 acres, comprised of the balance of Tract `B', the balance of the amenity Tract `D', all of Tract `E' and connecting roadways. Now, all of Tract `H' (25.92 acres), all of Tract `I' (33.53 acres) and a portion of Tract `K' (22.63) that drains to the interconnected Swale #7 goes to Pond #8 for a total of 191.36 acres. Pond #8 also receives the lake discharge from Pond #9. Pond #8 shall have a normal water surface elevation of 19.0', with storage to elevation 20.0'. The storage elevation is maintained by a pond outlet structure with the rim of the riser set at elevation 20.0'. The riser will only discharge in response to storm events greater than the 25 year storm. The normal water surface elevation of 19.0' shall be maintained by two recirculation pumps. The recirculation pumps shall be controlled by float switches that activate the pumps when the water in Pond #8 rises to the 25 year storm storage elevation, about elevation 19.80'. The recirculation pumps will pump the storage volume back to Ponds #10 and #3, returning the water in Pond #8 to its normal elevation of 19.0'. In this manner the storage in Pond #8 is maintained such that there is always storage available for the runoff from a 25 year storm event. The excess volume in the remaining ponds, created by the recirculation system, will be used to charge an irrigation system for landscaping in the right of ways and common areas of the project. The water demand for irrigation, combined with normal evaporation (generally accepted to be about 0.25 inches per day in this area), will restore the normal water surface elevations in all the ponds. Flood control for storm event greater than the 25 year storm has also been incorporated into this design. All of the ponds require a storm event greater than the 25 year to discharge through the riser, otherwise only orifice discharge occurs. The riser structures also have gate valves in their bottoms to lower the pond levels for maintenance and in the event of a forecasted extreme storm event. The proposed non -discharge lakes not only provide stormwater treatment and flood control, but will provide a tremendous recreational amenity to the residents of Waterford. The lakes have been designed to promote active recreation for the residents, such as canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. All the lakes will be stocked with game fish to create a healthy fish population. The game fish population will be maintained not only to provide recreation to the residents of Waterford, but also to control any nuisance insects. 4. PERMITTING STRATEGY: The non -discharge lakes shall ultimately be expanded to serve the entire 568 acre development. To facilitate the accounting of impervious areas and treatment areas over the life of the project, we proposed to break the project up into multiple tracts with individual tract boundaries following development phase lines. The Stormwater Management Plans are designed to be flexible and stream line the review process for future modifications to this large permit. Each tract has been dedicated a single sheet in the plan set, and the single sheet includes all necessary details and impervious calculations. Upon approval, each of the individual tract plans sheets shall bear an approval stamp from DWQ including the date approved. When the need to modify the permit arises due to futurc development, copies of individual plans for all previously approved tracts will be resubmitted with the revised plan set bearing the approval stamp from DWQ. The tracts that bear approval stamps will indicate to the reviewer that nothing has changed within that particular tract and the reviewer can then limit analysis of proposed modifications to only those tracts that have changed. For example, the approved submittal included tracts A, B, C, D, E and F. This submittal adds Tracts G, H, L J and K with modifications to Tracts A and B. Therefore, Tracts C, D, E and F are unchanged and are being resubmitted with the DWQ approval stamp. To simplify the accounting of impervious areas, a tracking chart has been devised and is shown on the cover of the plan set. This tracking chart includes all impervious areas, by tract, and includes the total impervious area for the project to date. The total of impervious coverages will correspond to the application and, ultimately, the permit. The goal of this permitting strategy is to avoid the pitfalls in the permitting and tracking of stormwater management plans for larges developments that we have experienced in the past. This strategy accomplishes that goal by ensuring that the treatment device and the development share a common permit and by eliminating the need for multiple permits (sometimes as many as three) to develop a single tract. 5. TRACT SUMMARY: Tract A includes the collector roads and all undeveloped areas of the project. Over time, the area of Tract A will decrease as future phases are developed and accounted for separately. Currently, Tract A encompasses 169.09 acres. The balance of the project area is found in tracts B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K. Tract B is the first phase of single family development. This tract was originally approved on November 25, 2002 and was assigned the permit number SW8 020510. This project includes the first phase of the non -discharge lake system, and is the basis for creating the overall stormwater management plan to include all of the expanded non -discharge lake and all of the property. Tract B is being resubmitted with a minor boundary change and the addition of an im_ervious walkway around the major pond. Tract C is a phase of single family development and includes 96 lots on 24.70 acres. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract C drains to the non -discharge lake system for treatment. Tract D is the amenity center for the development and includes a clubhouse, sales center, swimming pool and cabana, tennis courts, and associated parking areas and sidewalks. Tract D covers 6.49 acres and is 51.93% impervious. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract D drains to the non -discharge lake system for treatment. Tract E is to be sold and developed by others. The developer of Tract E will have to obtain an individual state stormwater permit for any work done within that tract. Tract E is being allocated 15.00 acres of impervious draining to the non -discharge lake system for treatment. Tract F is also being sold and developed by others. The developer of Tract F will have to obtain an individual state stormwater permit for any work done within that tract. Tract F is being allocated 2.77 acres of impervious draining to the non -discharge lake system for treatment. Tract G is one of the next phases of single family development and includes 138 lots on 50.65 acres. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract G drains to the non -discharge lake system. Tract H is one of the next phases of single family development and includes 52 lots on 25.92 acres. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract H drains to the non -discharge lake system. Tract I is one of the next phases of single family development and includes 41 lots on 33.53 acres. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract I drains to the non -discharge lake system. Tract J is one of the next phases of single family development and includes 177 lots on 97.97 acres. Stormwater runoff collected in Tract J drains to the non -discharge lake system. Tract K is to be sold and developed by others. The developer of Tract K will have to obtain an individual state stormwater permit for any work done within that tract. Tract K is being allocated 29.14 acres of impervious draining to the non -discharge lake system for treatment.

The master association restriction willbe too cumbersome to address each lot. Regarding the further subdivision of Tract F. We learned of the actual lot lines for further subdivision within days of the last permit approval. We then contacted Laurie Munn of your office to try and add those lot lines to the last approval - sort of a line item revision within the 30 days of approval. She advised us that we could record the deed restrictions for the lot and simply provide a plan update for Tract F when it was further subdivided. Attached is her e-mail advising us on the correct course of action. We do have a permit modification to the big Waterford permit in the works and we should submit the application by mid -February. We will at that time update Tract F as shown on the plan update provided to you. Can we proceed with the Assisted Care offsite permit with the plan update knowing that Tract F will be updated in the overall permit next month? ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Lewis <Linda.Lewis@ncmail.net> To: Davis Fennell <davis.fennell@capefearen .com> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 10:53 AM Subject: Waterford: Davis: I've got a call in to Bert Exum regarding a question I have about the deed restrictions. They don't mention the specific BUA's per lot that are listed in the permit, but they do indicate that a supplemental declaration will be recorded for each specific phase or section within Waterford. I just want to make sure that I am correct in my understanding of how this process works, and that no lot will be sold in any section without those specific BUA limitations being recorded. Additionally, you submitted a subdivision map for Tract F. Additional subdivision of the property must be done via a permit modification. Had Tract F been developed by WDV without subdividing or selling, we could have done it with a plan revision. If the lots are sold, each lot owner must submit an offsite permit application, even though the disturbance on that lot may not trigger SEC plan approval.

Then, when the new owners of the lots in Tract F want a permit, they will come in for an off -site permit to Tract F. When recording the restrictions, WDV must allocate a certain square footage of built -upon area per lot (no percentages, actual square footage) and submit that to our office before the sale of the lots. If he doesn't do it prior to the sale of the'lot, he is in violation of his permit. Let me know if you have any other questions. It would be nice if you sent a copy of the revised Tract F for the file. That will make the review of the off -site permits easier. Have a nice weekend.
