IV. PROJECT INFORMATION
1. In the space provided below, briefly summarize how the stormwater runoff will be treated.
In addition to meeting the post development hydrologic criteria set out in Chapter 2 of the North Carolina
Low Impact Development Guidebook dated June 2009, the pre-construction drainage patterns will be
maintained and land disturbance will be minimized to the best extent possible. Compacting beneath arrays
and other pervious areas will be minimized. Permanent seeding will be implemented as specified on the
plans. Vertical clearance of the panels will be limited to less than 10 feet. Herbicides and fertilizers will be
used minimally to limit vegitation where necessary.
2. a. If claiming vested rights, identify the supporting documents provided and the date they were approved:
Approval of a Site Specific Development Plan or PUD Approval Date:
Valid Building Permit Issued Date:
Other: Date:
b. If claiming vested rights, identify the regulation(s) the project has been designed in accordance with:
Coastal SW – 1995 Ph II – Post Construction
3. Stormwater runoff from this project drains to the Neuse River basin.
4. Total Property Area: 44.6/31.6 LOD acres 5. Total Coastal Wetlands Area: 0 acres
6. Total Surface Water Area: 0 acres
7. Total Property Area (4) – Total Coastal Wetlands Area (5) – Total Surface Water Area (6) = Total Project
Area+: 31.6 acres
+ Total project area shall be calculated to exclude the following: the normal pool of impounded structures, the area
between the banks of streams and rivers, the area below the Normal High Water (NHW) line or Mean High Water
(MHW) line, and coastal wetlands landward from the NHW (or MHW) line. The resultant project area is used to
calculate overall percent built upon area (BUA). Non-coastal wetlands landward of the NHW (or MHW) line may
be included in the total project area.
8. Project percent of impervious area: (Total Impervious Area / Total Project Area) X 100 = (1.86/31.6)x100=5.9%
9. How many drainage areas does the project have?1 (For high density, count 1 for each proposed engineered
stormwater BMP. For low density and other projects, use 1 for the whole property area)
10. Complete the following information for each drainage area identified in Project Information item 9. If there
are more than four drainage areas in the project, attach an additional sheet with the information for each area
provided in the same format as below.

Coverage Hydrologic Fate Determination
Table 2-6. Allowable Tolerance of Hydrologic Fates (From Low Impact
Development: A Guidebook for North Carolina-2009, Chapter 2: Achieving
LID Performance Goals Using a Hydrologic Cycle Approach)
The above referenced tables and calculations have been provided to comply with the low density requirements ( < 6 percent built-upon area) and
also by meeting the post development hydrologic criteria set out in Chapter 2 of the North Carolina Low Impact Development Guidebook dated June
2009. This document (Table 2-2 Hydrologic fate of rainfall at Coweeta, NC, Water 02) allows for a target hydrology for the site of 5 percent runoff, 45
percent for infiltration, and 50 percent evapotranspiration. Table 2-6, Allowable tolerance of hydrologic fates in Chapter 2: Achieving LID
Performance Goals Using a Hydrologic Cycle Approach of the Low Impact Development: A Guidebook for North Carolina-2009 allows for a 15%
tolerance for a Greenfield-Commercial development in the Coastal Region, which would allow up to 20 percent runoff. As shown in the Post-
Development Table, the hydrologic fate falls within the allowable tolerance for a Greenfield-Commercial project within the Coastal Region.
