DWQ# 08-1217
Surry County
On August 14, 2008, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) received your application for a 401 General
Water Quality Certification to impact 0.039 acres of wetlands in order to develop property for a Holiday Inn Express in
Mount Airy, NC in Surry County. On October 6, 2008 and January 7, 2009 the Division received additional information
regarding this project. After review of this new information, additional information is required in.order that we may
determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The Division 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 soil specification must include the appropriate P index for the bioretention media (between 10 and 30).
2. The detail of the flow splitter needs to be scaled, with all elevations and pipe sizes specified.
3. A layer of filter fabric is required between the sand and stone layers in the bioretention cell.
4. The construction sequence on Sheet C-9 refers to the BMP as an "infiltration basin," not a "bioretention
cell." Please correct this and also please revise the portion that discusses seeding the BMP to state that sod
must be used.
