REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Jackson:
On April 11, 2008, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated April 9, 2008,
to fill or otherwise impact 0.48 acres of 404/wetland to construct a residential development at the site. On
May 12, 2008, September 30, 2008, November 3, 2008, December 8, 2008, and January 9, 2009, the
DWQ received additional information from you, however, the DWQ has determined that your application
remains incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require
additional information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on
the subject property. Therefore, unless we receive five copies of the additional information requested
below, we will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. If we
do not receive the requested information, your project will be formally returned as incomplete. Please
provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
Please ensure that the weir that separates the high and low flows to the stormwater wetland is
correctly designed to direct the runoff from the one-inch storm into the wetland. The DWQ
recommends reconfiguring the inlet such that the swale receiving runoff from Drainage Area 4
discharges to the forebay of the stormwater wetland and the weir is placed on the opposite side of
the forebay. The DWQ believes that this design would more effectively separate the flows and
also would dissipate the energy of the runoff. Please provide the appropriate details and
calculations to support the design you select for the inlet structures.
2. Please show that the all discharges to the wetlands are at a non-erosive velocity of two feet per
second or less during the peak flow from the ten-year storm event.
3. The outlet device must be placed at the center of the micropool to reduce the chance of its being
clogged by vegetation.
