Thanks Glen.
I apologize, I now see that your earlier email was directed to my"junk" box, I'm not sure why. Hard copies are not
necessary.
I have reviewed the project and determined that it does meet the diffuse flow requirements of the Neuse Buffer Rule as
shown on the plans dated and signed on 6/30/16. As discussed earlier, please change the "bioretention" label to a
"sandfilter".
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

Jason,thanks for taking a quick look.
The BMP is meant to be a sand-filter. I do see the word bioretention labeled on the cross section. Which will be
changed. However, I believe what's drawn meets the requirement for a sand filter.
The splitter box routes everything up to the 1st inch into the sand filter. (18" pipe) Above the 1" storm, it spills over the
partition and continues in the 48" pipe to daylight

That is a wetpond we permitted with the Town of Garner. It has a 1" drawdown that discharges to a level spreader prior
to the Nuese Buffer. I can send you a plan of that if you would like?
Thanks

Mr. Morris,
I received a set of plans for White Oak SW and was asked to review the BMPs for meeting the Neuse River Diffuse Flow
requirements. After an initial review, I have a few questions:
• The plans specify a "sand—filter" in several areas, but the device appears to be more of a "bio-retention "
device. See the "Sand Filter" and "Bio-retention" chapters in DEQ's BMP Manual (link). The term "sand filter"
should be removed to avoid confusion.
• The plans show a splitter box that routes water to the bioretention area. From the stormwater drainage chart at
the top of the page, it appears that the splitter box routes anything beyond the first inch into the bypass. Is this
the case?
• The plans also show a proposed wetpond that borders a Neuse buffer. Where is the outlet and emergency
spillway for this structure located?
Thanks,
Jason
