Salisbury Street, Office 625Y Raleigh, NC 27604 For USPS: 1612 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1612 Re: Stormwater Permit No. SW6231107 High Density Subdivision—2 Wet Ponds Kingston Village, Hoke County Dear Brianna: We have addressed your comments per your 2/13/2024 letter and updated the drawing set to reflect these changes. Below you will find your comments listed along with our responses in blue. Also included with this letter are additional calculation tables, NCDEQ forms, and the revised drawing set. Please don't hesitate to call or email with any additional questions or concerns. 1. The provided O&M Form is incomplete. Please use the most up to date form,which can be found on our website at the following address: https://www.deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land- resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/stormwater-design-manual (O&M EZ Form). Please note that a complete O&M Agreement Form will have 2 or more pages and uses macros to generate the relevant sheets based on the information entered into the cover page. NOTE: It is recommended to get a second copy of this form signed & notarized for the Applicant's records (it will be helpful when they go to record it with the Register of Deeds).This item is required per General MDC 11-12. A revised O&M form with macro generated pages is included with this submittal. 2. Ensure that General MDC 8 and 9 are met. Wet Pond B does not appear to have an easement/maintenance access that includes the entire SCM system. Wet Pond B has a 10' access maintenance aisle around its entire perimeter.This aisle will be grassed and have a 2%cross slope draining toward the pond. Access to the pond from the cul- de-sac is relatively flat except for the final approach to the pond perimeter aisle, where it has maximum 8H:1V slope for a short distance. The pond, including the 10' wide perimeter access, is located entirely inside a stormwater Responses to NCDEQ Comments,Page 1 of 5 control access and maintenance easement.The access from the cul-de-sac, the pond inflow pipe from the cul-de-sac, and pond outflow pipe are located inside 20' wide drainage easements. Refer to drawing sheet 4 (included with this submittal) of the overall plan set where these easements are shown and labeled. 3. Wet Ponds must maintain a permanent pool,therefore, a wet pond that infiltrates would not meet Wet Pond MDC 7. Each pond has been designed as a wet pond. Permanent pool elevations are 245' and 248.5' for Ponds A and B respectively. We have added a liner for Wet Pond B because of its elevation vs. the seasonal high water table. Refer to drawing sheet 23 of the overall plan set for additional detail. 4. Clearly delineate the drainage area that will be treated by each SCM on the main set of plans as required per the Application Section VI,80. Drawing sheet 4B (included with this submittal) of the overall plan set shows the drainage areas. 5. Application,Section IV, 10, Drainage Area 1:The 320,350 SF impervious area in the On-site Buildings/Lots category does not appear to correspond to the provided lot deed restrictions of 5,000 SF/lot. This figure has been recalculated to include updated information concerning the community parcel. It now sums to 320,800 sf.This considers 64 lots at 5,000 sf/lot impervious+800 sf building on the community parcel, 64 x 5,000 sf+800sf= 320,800 sf.The remaining 11 lots drain to Pond B. Included with this submittal are revised pages 3 and 4 from the application. Items IV.8 and IV.10 have been updated. 6. The Supplement-EZ was not provided and could not be reviewed for correctness at this time. The Supplemental-EZ is included with this submittal. 7. Design Requirements for High Density Projects a. As designed,the project does not appear to meet Runoff Treatment or RunoffVolume Match. In order for a project to meet Runoff Treatment,the net increase in BUA must be captured and treated within one or more primary SCMs and in order for a project to meet Runoff Volume Match,the annual runoff volume before development cannot increase by more than 10%(NOTE: This requirement refers to annual runoff volume, not a flow rate from a design storm). Please refer to 15A NCAC 02H .1002(43)&(44) and .1003(3)(a). Please ensure that all of the new BUA (or an area of BUA equal to the net increase in BUA) is being treated in one or more primary SCMs. Please revise as needed. b. Per General MDC 1,the design volume of SCMs shall take into account the runoff at build out from all surfaces draining to the system. Drainage from off-site areas may be bypassed.The combined design volume of all SCMs on the project shall be sufficient to handle the required Responses to NCDEQ Comments,Page 2 of 5 storm depth. See Part B of the Manual for information on how to calculate the volume of stormwater runoff. The ponds are sized for the net increase in BUA using the SA/DA method. It should be noted that Pond A is sized conservatively as it considers flow from the small portion of impervious near the entrance which cannot actually be conveyed to the pond due to elevation constraints. Pond sizing calculations are included with this submittal. Each pond is designed to handle the one-inch design storm above the permanent pool and discharge that storm between the required two and five days. 8. In order to verify storage requirements, please provide the Stage Storage information in tabular format,or label the points. These tables are included with this submittal. 9. The forebay must be excluded from sizing calculations, per Wet Pond MDC 1. Please clarify the provided calculations to show separate forebay and main pool calculations. a. Per Wet Pond MDC 5(a) Forebay volume shall be 15 to 20 percent of the volume in the main pool. The sizing information and stage-storage tables are included with this submittal. 10. Per Wet Pond MDC 1,The main pool of the wet pond shall be sized using either:The Hydraulic Retention Time(HRT) Method; or The SA/DA and Average Depth Method. Please provide clarifying calculations demonstrating the method used to size the wet ponds. The ponds were sized using the SA/DA method.The sizing information is included with this submittal. 11. Please provide average depth calculations. Per Wet Pond MDC 2,The average depth of the main pool shall be three to eight feet below the permanent pool elevation.The applicant shall have the option of excluding the submerged portion of the vegetated shelf from the calculation of average depth. At permanent pool elevation,the Pond A main pool will have volume of 106,290 cf and surface area of 25,834 sf.This is from elevation 240'which accommodates the required 6 inches of sediment storage below. Dividing the volume by surface area yields an average depth of 4.11'. At permanent pool elevation, the Pond B main pool will have volume of 15,546 cf and surface area of 4,702 sf.This is from elevation 240.5' which accommodates the required 6 inches of sediment storage below. Dividing the volume by surface area yields an average depth of 3.31. 12. Per Wet Pond MDC(3),The inlet(s)and outlet shall be located in a manner that avoids short circuiting. Wet Pond 1 has an inlet that bypasses the forebay, and therefore creates short Responses to NCDEQ Comments, Page 3 of 5 circuiting. The stormpipe that bypasses the forebay carries runoff collected at inlets ST-10 and ST-20. As the road slopes downward toward the entrance,these inlets are placed to maximize capture and conveyance of runoff to the pond.This placement, however, places the stormpipe too low to connect to inlet ST-50 and therefore the forebay. It should be noted that inlets ST-10 and ST-20 collect runoff from a combined 0.75 acres, 3.2%of the 23.49 total acres of drainage for which Pond A is sized and therefore should not materially affect the pond's overall functionality. We can construct a small forebay around that pipe inlet upon your direction. 13. Per Wet Pond MDC 5(b),the forebay entrance shall be deeper than the forebay exit, please revise the plans. The plans have been changed to reflect this. Refer to sheets 4, 22, and 23 (included with this submittal) of the overall plan set. 14. Provide separate tables for the volume stored beneath the permanent pool, and the volume stored between the permanent pool and temporary pool so that sizing calculations can be verified. a. Ensure that the sediment storage is excluded from these calculations per Wet Pond MDC 3. These pond stage-storage tables are provided with this submittal.The ponds have been sized per the SA/DA method from elevation at top of sediment storage. b. Ensure that the design volume(the volume between the temporary pool elevation and permanent pool elevation)shall draw down to the permanent pool level between two and five days, per Wet Pond MDC 7. The drawdown from each pond was modeled using AutoCAD Storm and Sanitary Analysis software. Included with this submittal are the tabular and graphical output for each pond drawdown. This information shows that the design storm will discharge from each pond within the required time frame of two to five days. 15. Per MDC 11(a)The dam structure, including front and back embankment slopes,of the pond shall be vegetated with non-clumping turf grass; trees and woody shrubs shall not be allowed. Per MDC 11(b)The vegetated shelf shall be planted with a minimum of three diverse species of herbaceous, native vegetation at a minimum density of 50 plants per 200 square feet of shelf area. Revise the planting schedule to remove plants,such as shrubs,that do not meet these requirements.Specify the specific plants(species,size, and number)to be used on the vegetated shelf and dam/embankments. The planting specifications on the pond detail sheets (sheets 22 & 23) of the overall plan set have been updated per these requirements and are included with this submittal. Responses to NCDEQ Comments,Page 4 of 5 16. Per General MDC 4,the inlets SCMs shall be designed to protect the SCM from erosion resulting from stormwater discharges.The outlets of SCMs shall be designed so that they do not cause erosion immediately downslope of the discharge point during the peak flow from the 10-year storm event as shown by engineering calculations. Provide these calculations and ensure that the protection shown on the plans has consistent sizing with the calculations. Sheets 12A and 12B of the overall plan set are included with this submittal. These plan sheets show rip rap and erosion control placement as well as flowrate, velocity, and rip rap sizing information throughout the project. Please don't hesitate to call or email with any additional questions or concerns.
