Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application

Dear Ms. Poulis:

On May 29, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application for a 401
General Water Quality Certification to impact 225 linear feet of stream, 0.19 acres of wetlands, and 46,634
square feet of Zone 1 and 23,954 square feet of Zone 2 of Randleman Buffer to construct the Fedex Ground
Package System Inc, facility in Kernersville in Guilford County. We have reviewed this information and
additional information is necessary in order that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0500. The DWQ will require this information in order to process your application to impact protected
wetlands and/or streams on the subject property. Therefore, we will place this project on hold as incomplete
until we receive this additional information, and if we do not receive the additional information requested
below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506. Please
provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.

1. The stormwater management plan information provided to the Division on April 24, 2008 as
part of the request for a major variance to the Randleman Rules is incomplete. Specifically the
BMP checklists for the Wet Detention Basin and the Level Spreader identify items that are
noted with an asterisk to be submitted with the final construction plans. These items are
necessary for final approval of the Stormwater Management Plan. Please provide these items
for review.
2. The Level Spreader has been located perpendicular to contour lines at the southern portion of
the project. This may promote erosional features to form within the filter strip. Please relocate
the level spreader so that it is parallel with the contour lines to the east of wet detention basin to
ensure diffuse flow.
