Dear Linda:
Please find enclosed for your review and approval a re -submittal of additional information for the
referenced project in accordance with you letter of request, dated February 5, 1999, which was
received at our office on February 12, 1999, and included your return of the original signed
application forms.
This submittal includes the following items:
• Original signed application forms
• Revised Stormwater Management Permit Application Form
• Revised Wet Detention Basin Supplement
• Stormwater Design Narrative, dated November 25, 1998 (no changes)
• Revised Design Calculations, revised February 15, 1999 Pages 1 through 6
• Revised Engineering Plans
• Site Plan - Sheet C101, Dated Oct 22 1998, revised 2/15/99, (1"=60')
• Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan - Sheet C102, Dated Dec 15 1998, revised
2/15/99, (1"=60')
Grading and Drainage Sheet 1 - Sheet C103, Dated Nov 21 1998, revised 2/15/99,
(1 "=30')
Grading and Drainage Sheet 2 - Sheet C104, Dated Nov 21 1998, revised 2/15/99,
(1 "=30')
Pond Details and Miscellaneous Details - Sheet C105, Dated Nov 25 1998, revised
2/15/99, (1"=30')
The revisions are relatively minor and they are provided with an overview summary of the
revisions below and with the calculations.
The original submittal to you included two engineering plans as follows. Site Plan - Sheet C101,
Dated Oct 22 1998, revised 11/25/98, (1"=60') and Pond Details - Sheet C104, Dated Nov 25
1998, revised 11/25/98. Please note that the information on that submittal is contained in the
newer set of Site Plans. The improvements previously shown on the 60' scale Sheet C101 are
now detailed on the new 60 scale site plans and on the enlarged 30' scale site plans. The Pond
Details are unchanged and shown on sheet C105. The revisions to plans have been made as
the construction documents have been prepared. The content of the proposed plans has not
constituted a redesign of the project. a

The revisions to the plans that pertain to the stormwater permit application submittal are
addressed below. Clarifications to grades and elevations are included in this set. The plans do
include a slight modification to the pond to better accommodate grading for the swales. The
calculations have been revised to reflect the pond volumes.
The responses to your inquires are as follows. The descriptions are made in the order you
presented them.
1. The draw down equation has been revised to reflect the an Average Head of H/2 in lieu
of the Center of Pressure, H/3. The resulting revision yielded flow equal to previous of
0.0339 cfs. The draw down time is now 4.60 days in lieu of 4.67 days
2. Presently, the application does not need to be revised to reflects off -site
drainage. Since that time of our original application submittal, the adjacent property has
been developed. It is apparent that the landowner of the property has provided for
proper management of the stormwater flows. The adjacent property has a stormwater
management system constructed on the property. The flows are collected into a pond
and then directed to the existing drainage easement below their property. The flows are
diverted across the higher side of the CP&L property along the existing drainage
easement, and continue to the south corner of the CP&L site where they leave the
property. Their flows do not enter onto the developed portion of the site, nor enter the
pond. Adverse impact to our stormwater management system is not apparent.
The result to our application is that the drainage area of the site has been revised along
the shared property line, resulting in a reduction of drainage area to 8.43 acres. The
application has been reviewed as requested and no changes are required to address
upstream impervious surfaces. The pond design was not affected by the decrease in off -
site area. The required temporary storage volume determination was relatively
unchanged as the percent impervious of the drainage area went up as the area went
down, resulting in negligible change.
I respectfully do not concur in any event that you were indicating the CP & L developer
would have had full responsibility to treat the runoff from this upstream development in
this industrial park, especially even at an arbitrary impervious rate of 90%. In addition,
please note that the CP&L site is a permitted use in the industrial park and the
substantial construction of the building, parking areas, and Laydown yards is
approximately only 36.6%, not the 90% that you suggest.
Your request to revise our submittal to treat future unknown, undefined, impervious
areas is not considered applicable to this application. As stated in the regulations,
section 1007.1.1b.ii, "control systems must be designed to control runoff from all surfaces
generated by one inch of rainfall'. The definitions go onto to define Built -Upon Area as
".. project that is covered by impervious..". On page 2 of 4 of the application footnotes a
definition of impervious area is ".. area defined as the built upon area.." . In the DENR
Best Management Practices Guidelines dated 11/98, Chpt 1 Setion 11,1.c states "..
Impervious levels used for sizing sizing should be those that are expected in the final
build -out of the development, and any off -site runoff that drains to the pond." Our
previous design included treatment of the impervious surfaces on the site and the off -site
runoff onto our site and, in my opinion, was in compliance with the regulations. The
S',W15�81 021599ph_Ilr to NCOENR rev3 doc NO* MCIM & CREED

February 15, 1999
Page 3
regulations do not require that a development such as this one is required to provide
treatment for some future, unknown, undefined sources.
In addition, there is the Attachment A form which has suggested Deed Restriction
Requirements. This form is intended to be used on Low Density developments which
involve the subdivision or selling of lots or outparcels. This form has statements that are
to be included in deeds which include the requirement that future drainage must be
directed to the permitted stormwater system. This project is not intending to subdivide or
developing outparcels. Therefore this does not enter into our review either.
3. The dimensions of the Laydown yard have been provided on the Site Plan, Sheet C101,
and just to check, the dimensions are the same as those presented in the design
calculations, 205 ft. by 484 ft. The forebay dimensions have been added on the Grading
and Drainage Sheet 2, Sheet C104.
Based on your clarification, the values of the defined permanent pool elevations, and the
volume of the forebay above the permanent pool, have been revisited. Surface area
adjusted from 8,390 sf. To 8446 sf. Required with 12,388 sf. Provided. The volume of
the forebay is 20.5 % of the total pond, as required. This value has been revised on the
supplement form.
4. The revised plans C101,C102, C103 and C104 have dashed contours as requested.
5. The Gravel Storage Area completely covers the Laydown Yard. There are plan notes
indicating the general limits. (see note 3 with regard to dimensioned area).
6. The 30 scale plans, C103 and C104, have spot dimensions for grading. General
contours are also shown on C102.
7. Per request, the Vicinity Map includes labels for Sunnyvale road and Raleigh Street.
Please see Sheets C101 and C102.
8. Catchbasin and piping elevations are shown on Sheets C103 and C104.
9. Lot 23A-R does not drain onto the site. A drainage ditch on their property and in
the drainage easement conveys their runoff around the site. The drainage area
boundary accurately reflects this drainage divide. See Sheet C101, C102, and C103.
10. The actual area to base the pond design on is 8.43 acres, not 12.78 acres.
(Please see response to item 2.) No changes are needed of the plans except to show
the drainage area smaller as described above in item 2. The pond calculations have
been revisited. Calculation values have been revised. Plan revisions were not
necessary based on the new calculation values. The issue of whether off -site
impervious surfaces need to be addressed is not of concern with the new drainage area
11. No changes to the plans are required for this item. The Supplement does list the
Permanent Pool elevation as 30 ft. and the plans (C105) show Permanent Pool
elevation of 30.0 ft. The Temporary Pool elevation on the Supplement was shown
as 31.1 ft. as the elevation of Top of Riser was requested. The actual Temporary pool
elevation is 30.90 ft. as calculated. The Plan C105 shows a top of riser at 31.1 ft. which
S'.W159100811021599gh_Ilr to NCOENR rov3 doe � McM4& CZEEED

February 15, 1999
Page 4
is also correct as we are considering drainage control also. The temporary pool
elevation is lower than the top of riser and the calculations show that the actual required
temporary storage volume of 13,483 cf. is, by itself, drawn down in the required 2 to 5
day period from 30.90 to 30.0 ft. elevation.
12. No changes to the plans are required for this item. The pond was previously
designed to accommodate the designated drainage from off -site (see item 2). The
abutter has subsequently developed their site and have addressed drainage
considerations.

Design Narrative
General
The project site is 9.98 acres, located on Raleigh Street, in southwest Wilmington,
North Carolina. The project site is located approximately 1,000 feet west of US
Highway 421, approximately 19 mile south of the intersection of Highway 421
(Carolina Beach Road), and SR 1101 (Shipyard Boulevard). Drainage considerations
are to be in accordance with DENR Stormwater Requirements. The purpose of this
project is to construct an office and storage facility for Carolina Power and Light
Company operations.
Existing Site
Site topography in the area is relatively flat, sloping from north to south
approximately 15 feet in 400 feet, or approximately 4%. Vegetation on the site
consists primarily of grasses and minor ground cover, with scrub pines and a few
larger pines and hardwoods, primarily oaks. Subsurface soils are primarily sands.
The soil survey of New Hanover County classifies soils on the project site as Lynn
Haven, Bay Meade Fine Sands, and Leon Sands. All soils are well drained, and of
hydrologic soil groups A or B.
3. Proposed Improvemcnts
Improvements proposed for the site include construction of a building
approximately 12,170 square feet, parking and driveways totaling approximately
45,600 square feet, and a large gravel storage area and lay -down yard for material
storage of approximately 2.28 acres. The total impervious area proposed for the site
is approximately 159,230 square feet, or 3.66 acres. The percent impervious cover
on the site is approximately 36.6% of the 9.98 acres.
4. Stormwater Treatment Considerations
All Stormwater collected on the site through catch basins or yard inlets will be
conveyed to a wet detention pond located in the southeast corner of the project site.
The wet detention pond will provide enhanced treatment of the stormwater, and
will comply with all parameters of stormwater treatment, as documented in the
following calculations.

Subject: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT AND
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Stormwater Project No. SW8 981209
CP & L South Operations Center
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Latta:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for CP &
L South Operations Center on December 3, 1998. A preliminary review of that information has determined
that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
The orifice size must be based on the volume provided in the pond, not the minimum. Please
revise the calculation to check the 1.5" specified. Why do you use H/3 as an average head for
the orifice sizing? H/2 is the average head; H/3 is 1/3 of the head, not the average head.
2. The application lists the built -upon area for the offsite area as zero. All offsite areas must
either be taken into account at the full build -out potential or routed around the pond. In this
case, being an industrial park in the City, the full build -out potential would likely be near
90%. Please revise your application appropriately.
3. Please add the dimensions for the forebay and laydown gravel storage area. The area of the
forebay at the permament pool elevation counts toward the minimum required area, and the
volume in the forebay above the permanent pool also counts toward the minimum required
volume.
4. It is very difficult to distinguish the existing contours from the proposed cotours. Please use
a different line type for the existing contours, such as the industry standard light dashed lines.
Varying line weight helps immensely in distinguishing the plan items.
5. Please indicate on the plans the extent of the gravel storage area. Is the fence line the end of
the gravel?

6. Please provide spot elevations for those areas such as parking lot corners and road edges, to
verify grading. .
7. Please label Raleigh Street and Sunnyvale Road on the vicinity map.
8. Please label inverts and tops for catch basins and piping.
9. Please verify the runoff from Lot 23A-R. It appears that runoff from this offsite area is
entering the pond.
10. Please base the pond sizing calculations on the 12.78 acre drainage area which includes the
offsite area, as required by the regulations. The percent impervious is based on the total
impervious surfaces in the drainage area, including the offsite impervious area.
11. The supplement indicates that the storage elevation is 30, but the outlet structure details show
a top elevation as 31.1.. Also, the supplement indicates that the drainage area is 9.98 acres,
but the applications shows it as 12.78 acres. Please clarify and revise as needed
12. If you do not reroute the offsite runoff, the pond as designed is not large enough to meet the
design criteria.
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 March 5, 1999, or the application will be
returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including
the application fee. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application to issue the
permit.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me at [phone].

Dear Linda:
I am providing this correspondence in response to the above.
The Brunswick land tract on which you received a Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan was
purchased from International Paper Company.
We are presently conducting drainage improvements to assess potential timber production. No
construction is proposed at this time. No Preliminary Plans have been developed and/or
approved.
Due to the proximity of two creeks we opted to obtain an Erosion Control Permit rather than
relying on "best management practices." The schedule on silviculture production has yet to be
determined.

Dear Ms. Gray:
, On November 13, 1996, the Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of the Sedimentation Erosion Control
Plan Permit Application for Brunswick Land Tract. The North Carolina Administrative Code requires any project that
must receive either a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan permit and/or a CAMA major permit to apply for and
receive a Stormwater Management Permit by the Division of Environmental Management. Any construction on the subject
site, prior to receipt of the required permit, will constitute a violation of 15A NCAC 2H.1000 and may result in
appropriate enforcement action by this Office.
Either a Stormwater Permit Application Package including 2 sets of plans, completed application form, fee, and
supporting documentation, or a written response regarding the status of this project and the expected submittal date must
be received in this Office no later than December 13, 1996, or the subject project file will be closed and construction may
experience a subsequent delay. If you have any questions, please call me at (910)-395-3900.

reviewed by this office. Based upon a thorough review of the submitted plans and supporting
materials, we find the sedimentation and erosion control plan as submitted to be unacceptable and
said plan is hereby disapproved by the authority granted to this office by North Carolina General
Statute (hereinafter abbreviated NCGS) 113A-54(d) and Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative
Code, 4A .004(a). The reasons for disapproval of the submitted plan and any recommendations are
listed and explained on the enclosed form which is incorporated as a part of this letter of disapproval.
There are two options which are available to you as a result of this disapproval. You may
submit a revised sedimentation and erosion control plan for approval covering those items as outlined
on the enclosed form. Under the authority of NCGS 113A-54(d)(4), this office has 15 days from the
date of receipt to approve or disapprove your revised plan. The second option is to appeal the
disapproval of your plan directly to the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission. Any
appeal must be made in writing within 15 days of your receipt of this letter of disapproval and should
be addressed to the Chairman, North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission, Post Office Box

REASONS FOR DISAPPROVAL
PROJECT NAME: Brunswick County Tract
PROJECT NO.: 961005BR
LOCATION: US 17 - Brunswick County
RIVER BASIN:Cape Fear

1. The plan does not indicate the depth or side slopes of the proposed ditches. Side slopes will
not be accepted if proposed steeper than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical, unless adequate soil
information is provided that will indicate that a steeper slope can be successfully stabilized
with vegetation, and ditch velocity calculations that prove erosion will not occur during the
bare earth exposure within the bottom of the ditch.
2. The "V" shape ditch appears to be ill conceived considering the ditch lengths and the proposal
to use them as sediment storage. A trapezoidal shape is probably necessary; however, if you
can provide ditch velocity calculations that support your proposal, we will accept them.
Otherwise, we request that you reconsider the shape of the ditch.
3. • The sediment storage proposal uses unacceptable assumptions. To divide sediment storage
in half and assume a six month storage capacity assumes uniform rainfalls throughout the
year. The past six month rainfalls have demonstrated that is obviously not the case. Sediment
storage must be based on a minimum volume of 1800 cubic feet per acre and include a
drainage area not to exceed 5 acres (see the "Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual" Section 6.60). Redesign your sediment storage areas accordingly.
4. Your grassing rates, both temporary and permanent , are inadequate to ensure establishment
of vegetative cover. Again, review the "Planning and Design Manual" and reconsider your
seed application rates. We suggest that you consider a seeding mixture using a variety of
grasses for your permanent vegetative cover.
5. The plan must clearly delineate your proposed limits of grading.
