" Per the attached satellite imagery dated May 24, 2023, BUA(Painted Train, Cricket's Run, and several of the lots) appears to have been constructed. Please note that the construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and is subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A, including the assessment of civil penalties of up to$25,000 per day per offending property owner. This issue is being referred to inspectors in the Winston-Salem Regional Office for enforcement action. Please cease any further construction of impervious surfaces on-site until the site has received post-construction stormwater approval from our office." #1:Response: The approved sedimentation erosion control permit was closed by the Winston-Salem NCDEMLR Office in May of 2023. The erosion control permit covered the grading and erosion control for the road, roadside ditches, and culverts. The lots are permitted under individual permits with the NCDEMLR for Lot Grading and not a part of the original erosion control permit. 2. "Per the Davidson County Register of Deeds, Lots 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 22, 23, 29, 30, 31, 35, 36, 37, 38,40,41, 42, 43, &44 are no longer owned by Buel B. Barker,Jr.. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(a)(ix)the property owner(s) name, address, and contact information must be provided in Section 111,2 of the Application Form. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(c), please provide documentation (in the form of signed Section IX of the Application) indicating that the applicant has obtained legal rights to submit a stormwater permit application within the proposed project area. For your convenience, a page containing both Section 111,2 &Section IX of the Application has been provided as an attachment and should be completed by each property owner that has not already completed these sections of the application. Since there is no HOA planned for this subdivision, any further property sales in the covered project area will require a permit transfer per 15A NCAC 02H .1045." #2:Response: The Developer will be responsible for maintaining the road and roadside ditches until the project is accepted into the NCDOT system for Maintenance. According to the Davidson County Manager once the plat was approved and accepted by the County the Right-of-Way no longer is the property of the developer,it becomes property of the county. 3. "Original Comment 6—The Vactual for swale 22 (5.74 fps) exceeds the Vallowable for swale 22 (5.5 fps). Per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)(c)(ii), conveyances shall be designed so that they do not erode during the 10-year 24-hour storm. We are unable to permit a swale with a Vactual in excess of Vallowable as this demonstrates that this swale will be erosive during the 10-year 24-hour storm. Please revise as needed." #3:Response: Have revised calculation. This ditch is an existing drainage draw that is in a natural state with no grading. The Manning's 'n'value has been calculated using the NCDEMLR Estimating Roughness Coefficients spreadsheet. The revised calculation average velocity is 3.30 ft/s which is below the Vallowable of 5.5 fps. K E N N E R LY 12133 N.NC FIIAlY 150,Ste.F Phone:336.775.2118 Fax:336.76.0797 ENGINEERING a DESIGN.INC.

"Prior Comment 3—There are some issues with the rainfall intensity/flow calculations. For example, for swale 15 (based on the information entered into the Supplement-EZ Form), a "C" of 0.54, "i" of 6.87 in/hr, and an "A" of 1.89 ac would give a "Q" of 7.01 cfs whereas 6.43 cfs is provided.This issue is also present in the other swales (such as swales 2, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, & 20). Please recheck the calculations for all of the swales and ensure that this issue is addressed." #4:Response: Have revised all ditch calculation 5. "Prior Comment 5— Please specify on plan sheet C-702 which trapezoidal ditch cross section corresponds to which swale,there is no indication of which swale (21 or 22) corresponds to the swale with the 4 ft bottom width or the 8 ft bottom width). Please revise as needed." #5:Response: Have labeled the trapezoidal ditch cross section for the swale it corresponds with. 6. "There appear to be inconsistencies between the swale design information as shown in the Supplement-EZ Form/calculations and as shown on plan sheet C-702. Please revise as needed: a. The weighted rational coefficient("C")for swales 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 20, & 21 differ between the two. b. The flowrate ("Q")for swales 21 & 22 differs between the two. c. The longitudinal slope ("S")for swale 22 differs between the two. d. The flow depth for swales 1-21 differs between the two." #6:Response: Have revised swale information so that it is consistent between Plansheet C-702& the Supplement EZ Form. 7. "Provide PDFs of all revisions, 2 hardcopies of revised plan sheets, 1 hardcopy of other documents, and a response to comments letter briefly describing how the comments have been addressed. a.
