IV. PROJECT INFORMATION
1. In the space provided below, briefly summarize how the stormwater runoff will be treated.
The portion of the Site that drains to ORW waters will be controlled by using extremely low BUA percentage.
Additionally, stormwater will be conveyed in stable, swales with 3:1 side slopes.
2.a.lf claiming vested rights, identify the supporting documents provided and the date they were approved:
❑ Approval of a Site Specific Development Plan or PUD Approval Date:
❑ Valid Building Permit Issued Date:
❑ Other: Date:
b.lf claiming vested rights, identify the regulation(s)the project has been designed in accordance with:
❑ Coastal SW— 1995 0 Ph II — Post Construction
3. Stormwater runoff from this project drains to the YADKIN River basin.
4. Total Property Area: 48.9 acres 5. Total Coastal Wetlands Area: acres
6. Total Surface Water Area: acres
7. Total Property Area (4)—Total Coastal Wetlands Area (5)—Total Surface Water Area (6) = Total Project

+ Total project area shall be calculated to exclude the following: the normal pool of impounded structures, the area between the banks
of streams and rivers,the area below the Normal High Water(NHW)line or Mean High Water(MHW)line,and coastal wetlands
landward from the NHW(or MHW)line. The resultant project area is used to calculate overall percent built upon area(BUA). Non-
coastal wetlands landward of the NHW(or MHW)line may be included in the total project area.
8. Project percent of impervious area: (Total Impervious Area/Total Project Area)X 100 = 6.4
9. How many drainage areas does the project have?1 (For high density, count 1 for each proposed SCM. For
low density and other projects, use 1 for the whole property area. If there are multiple receiving streams,
provide the drainage areas within the project area to each stream.)
10. Complete the following information for each drainage area directed to an SCM or low density area identified in
Project Information item 9. If there are more than four drainage areas in the project, attach an additional

***Report only that amount of existing BUA that will remain after development. Do not report any existing BUA that is to be
removed and which will be replaced by new BUA. See definition 15A NCAC 02H.1002(17).
