Dear Mr. Brown:
Division of Water Quality
Coleen H. Sullins Dee Freeman
Director Secretary
March 30, 2009
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight and Express Review Permitting Unit has reviewed the
Additional Information letter provided by Ward Consulting Engineers, P.C.
DWQ is concerned that given the small size of Wetland 3, this wetland may not adequately treat the water in the
UT, which flows through a cattle pasture on the adjacent upstream property. Based on a site visit by Sue
Homewood of the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office, cows currently have access to this stream.
Please provide a demonstration that Wetland 3 would adequately treat the water entering the UT by using the
sizing method outlined in the most recent version of the DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices manual.
If treatment is not proved to be sufficient due to the small size of the wetland, expansion of this wetland feature
may be needed to provide effective treatment.
We look forward to your response to the comments listed above. Please feel free to contact Eric Kulz at (919)
733-1786 if you have any questions regarding this project or our comments.
Sincerely, Cyndi B. Karoly, Program Manager
401 Oversight and Express Review Program
