Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pressley Farm Industrial Site
Dear Mr. Natale:
On June 14, 2023 the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401
Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project. 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:
The application states that Impact S4 is for the installation of a culvert. It appears that this
culvert is for the purpose of supporting fill slope. Please also provide justification as to why this
stream impact cannot be avoided by steeper fill slopes and/or the use of a retaining wall within
the area.
2. The application states that Impact S5 is for the installation of a culvert. It is unclear of the
purpose of this impact as it appears that a retaining wall is proposed adjacent to the stream.
Please clarify the need for this impact.
Please provide a detailed engineering plan, profile view, and cross-section of all proposed
culverts. These drawings must include details regarding stream alignment in relation to pipe
alignment, pipe slope, pipe burial, and dissipater pad (riprap) if required for velocity control. If
riprap is required, please enumerate and clearly label the temporary and permanent impacts on
the site plan and submit a channel restoration detail. Riprap must be located below the stream
bed elevation.
Please note that all work must be done "in the dry". Therefore, dewatering methods will be
necessary to temporarily dewater the stream channel during pipe installation. Please provide a
construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized at the site and the
sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this condition. In
addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary impacts are shown on the
construction drawings and clearly indicated in the revised impact table.

5. The impacts of wetland impact W1 appear to be beyond the limits of a proposed retaining wall.
Please clarify why permanent impacts are proposed beyond the retaining wall.
6. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H.0506(b) "a 401 Water Quality Certification may only be issued upon
determining that the proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards which
includes designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation
policy, as defined in rules of 15A NCAC 02B .0200... In assessing whether the proposed activity
will comply with water quality standards, the Division shall evaluate if the proposed activity: (2)
would cause or contribute to a violation of water quality standards; (3) would result in
secondary or cumulative impacts that cause or contribute to, or will cause or contribute to, a
violation of water quality standards;" In order to evaluate secondary or indirect impacts from
the proposed High Density development, please provide either:
A Complete Stormwater Management Plan which includes all appropriate supplemental
forms, O&M agreements, calculations, drawings, etc., that complies with the requirements
of the State Stormwater Program. The Stormwater Design Manual and applicable forms may
be found on the DEMLR's website at https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-
land-resources/energy-mineral-land-permit-guidance/stormwater-bmp-manual. Please also
submit the application form SWU-101; however, the application fee and last two signature
pages of this form are not required and may be omitted.
OR
b. The following items to document that the project will not cause degradation of downstream
surface waters:
A discussion on how the project will not cause degradation of downstream surface
waters when considering both the water quality and the volume/velocity of the
increased flows to the current size/condition of the receiving stream.
Delineation of each drainage area and accompanying calculations to show that flows
from every discharge point will be non -erosive to both the land surface and the
receiving surface water during the peak flow from the 10-year storm event. You may
refer to the guidelines from DEMLR - Sedimentation and Erosion Control to
determine an appropriate non -erosive velocity. The permissible velocities for
erosion protection are under Appendix 8.05 (i.e. Chapter 8).
iii. Calculations to demonstrate that for any discharge points proposed to increase flow
rate and volume, the structural stability and the water quality of the receiving
surface water will not be compromised.
iv. Designed drawings (both aerial and profile views showing the actual designed
dimensions) and calculations of any proposed diffuse flow or detention systems and
any vegetated conveyances (if provided).
If you have questions regarding this stormwater requirement, you may contact:
