High Density Commercial Stormwater Project
Dear Dr. McKeithan: New Hanover County -
The Wilmington Regional Office received the Stormwater Management Permit Application for Work Force Training
Center and Student Activity Center on January 23, 1996, with final information on August 9, 1996. Staff review of the
plans and specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set
forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000. We are forwarding Permit No. SW8 960120 dated September 4, 1996, for the
construction of the project, Work Force Training Center and Student Activity Center.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 4, 2006, and shall be subject to the conditions
and limitations as specified therein. Please pay special attention to the Operation and Maintenance requirements in this
permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for operation and maintenance of the stormwater management system will
result in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an
ajudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this permit. This request must be
in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this
permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Linda Lewis, or me at
[phone].

Additional Information

Dear Ms. Lewis:
Based on our recent site visit and your comments of February 12, 1996, we have revised the
project plans accordingly. We have calculated the existing impervious surface to be 2.8 acres.
The total proposed impervious surface is 3.3 acres which shows an increase in impervious
surface of 0.5 acres.
1. We have discussed the BMP's suggested by DEM with the project architect and
have made these changes. The 0.5 acres exceeding the existing impervious area
will be directed to a retention pond as required. All drainage from the new
parking area will sheet flow across the parking area to two segments of open
grassed swales before entering the existing drainage system. The total length of
grassed Swale is 235 feet. The roof drains from the south side of the training
center have been directed to a grassed Swale. We are concerned about erosion
from the runoff at the entrance road due to the steep grades and have elected not
to allow overland flow in this area.
2. We have enclosed a plan showing the drainage areas delineated.
3. Revised sealed design calculations are enclosed.
4. The surface area calculations are enclosed.
5. The permanent and normal pool contours are labeled.
6. A 6:1 vegetated shelf and forebay are shown.

Dear Mr. Norris:
As it followup to our visit this morning, I have listed below the items discussed:
1. Additional credit will be given for portions of the grass/gravel areas currently used for
parking.
2. The single large pond may be replaced by a series of smaller detention or infiltration ponds
or swales. I must also remind you that the regulations covering alternative design criteria
can be found in NCAC 2H.1008 (h). Guidance for construction of the alternative measures
can be found in DEM's BMP Guidance Document. If you need a copy, please let me know
and I will copy it for you. The review that I will do for compliance will include the
requirements found in the BMP Guidance Document.
3. For infiltration, please provide information on the seasonal high water table, the type of
soil, and the expected infiltration rate.
4. Some site parking may be relocated to make room for a detention/infiltration swale. As
discussed in my 1/4/96 fax to you, level spreaders, permenent check dams, cutting back on
piping, and vegetated filters should be utilized to reduce the pollutant load and velocity.

Dear Mr. Norris:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for CFCC
Workforce 'training Center on January 23, 1996. A preliminary review of that information has determined
that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater
review:
1. None of the BMP's suggested in my January 4, 1996 fax were implemented for this site.
This site was determined not to qualify as redevelopment since neither of the two conditions
for redevelopment can be met. You must provide treatment for the runoff from the site
because you are essentially collecting runoff where formerly a combination of sheet flow
and collection was used. As stated in the 1-4-96 fax, those areas that were collected by the
existing system can continue to drain into the system.
2. Please delineate the drainage area to the pond. Upon revisions due to #1 above, please
delineate the drainage areas for each BMP.
3. Please seal the design calculations.
4. What is the surface area provided at the storage elevation? By planimeter, the volume is
deficient. Please report this number in the calculations.
5. Please delineate and label the permanent pool and storage pool contours.

6. A forebay must be placed at each inlet into the pond. A 6:1 vegetated shelf must be designed
around the entire pond perimeter.
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 12, 1996, or the application will
be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items,
including the application fee.

Dear Phil:
I found my notes concerning the redevelopment of the Cape Fear Community College Training
Center project. Basically, the Raleigh group wanted to see less piping and more vegetated practices in
exchange for a smaller pond. They said that the site technically does not meet the redevelopment
definition because you are proposing to put back more impervious area than previously existed, albeit the
runoff from the excess is proposed to be treated in a detention pond. Redevelopment was designed for
existing small city lots, mostly impervious, that had no hope of having enough space to provide a
stormwater system. This project has the space and the ability to provide stormwater treatment.
Specifically, the group suggested that:
1. The concrete walkway between the parking lots be replaced by a depressed grass
filter/infiltration area with curb cuts. A catch basin could be located in the middle
of the grassed area to pick up the runoff and direct it to the pond.
2. The runoff from the entrance road could be directed to a curb break which could
distribute the flow over the gentle grassed slope at the eastern end and act as a
vegetated filter strip.
3. The runoff from the southwest parking area could be directed through a curbcut,
into a level spreader, and flow over a vegetated filter strip prior to entering the
pond.
4. The pipe run from the curb inlet behind the training center could be replaced by
a level spreader, vegetated filter and swale into a yard inlet (instead of a
manhole). Is it possible to direct the pond outlet structure into the swale behind
the training center building so that the 85% TSS table could be used? This will
allow a larger portion of the impervious area to be served by the existing amount
of pond surface area. No elevations for the outlet structure were given.
5. The portion of the site currently served by the existing stormwater piping can
continue to be served by this system.
6. The addition of the north side training center roof drainage into the existing system must
be altered so that the roof drainage is picked up by the pond after being pretreated in a
vegetated filter strip. The southside roof drainage can be picked up into a vegetated filter
strip as suggested in Item #4 above.
