STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN APPROVAL
Dear Mr. Ornelas:
On January 16, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification to
impact to 6110.34 acre of wetland and impact 315 linear feet of unnamed tributary to Clarke Creek in
order to construct the Ridge Road Middle School in Mecklenburg County.
In order to meet Condition 6 of the 401 Certification for this project, a stormwater management plan,
dated February 5, 2008, was received by the DWQ on February 11, 2008. This revised stormwater
management plan has been reviewed and satisfies the stormwater management conditions of the 401
Water Quality Certification.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be maintained
in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the DWQ. Stormwater easements shall be recorded for a distance of at least ten feet
on each side of all storm water conveyances on all lots containing these structures including future access
for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain the structures, perform
corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures from potential
alternations by future property owners.
This letter completes the review of the DWQ under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any
questions, please contact me at 919-715-3425.
Sincerely,
a-t'w4te, CQ-S
