Dear Mr. Ragole:
On June 14, 2017, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application
dated June 12, 2017, requesting an Individual Water Quality Certification from the
Division for the subject project. The Division has determined that your application is
incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the
following information is received:
1. Per the application narrative, a portion of the stormwater runoff will be collected
within an underground detention stormwater system and the system will be
drained via a stormwater pump and drainage channel. Please provide
calculations of the storage volume that will be provided by the underground
storage system, and design details of the pump system. Please provide
calculations that show that the pumped stormwater will be discharged to the
adjacent wetland at non-erosive velocities. On plan sheet C5.0 the "proposed
underground detention" is identified with a note to refer to the Grading Plan. On
plan sheet C6.0, Grading Plan, the same storm pipes are identified in the legend
as "existing storm pipe". Please clarify existing storm pipes versus new storm
pipes and ensure that any existing stormwater that is directed to the
"underground detention" is accounted for in the storage calculations.
2. Please provide specific construction drawings for the riprap level spreader and
provide calculations to document that stormwater that sheet flows through this
area will be non-erosive.
