footer proposed within Wheat Creek. Please provide additional construction details regarding the double arch
culvert, including material, dimensions, and more information regarding how the structure will be built such that
flowing water will not contact curing concrete if applicable. Please demonstrate that the reduction in cross -
sectional dimension available for flow as a result of the of the in -stream structure will not result in
destabilization or degradation of the existing streambanks and streambed within, upstream, or downstream of
the culvert. [15A NCAC 02H .0502 and .0506(b)(2)]
5. In order to document that the project meets the definition and design requirements for low density, please

b. A detailed stormwater drainage plan to clearly show that the project meets 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)
"Stormwater that cannot be released as dispersed flow shall be transported by vegetated conveyances".
Please provide design plans and calculations for all vegetated conveyances such as swales, and/or level
