APPROVAL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN (SW)
Dear Mr. LaRowe:
On May 22, 2009, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification to you
and Guilford County Schools to place fill within or otherwise impact 130 linear feet of an unnamed
stream tributary to Deep River and 0.31 acres of wetlands, for the purpose of constructing a road crossing
for the proposed "Jamestown Middle School" project in Guilford County.
On May 28, 2009, the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) received your application dated May 20, 2009, and a stormwater management plan (SMP) dated
May 12, 2009, from Mr. Steven Miller of CLH Design, PA for the purpose of meeting Condition 5 of the
401 Certification for this project. On May 29, 2009, and June 5, 2009, the DWQ received revised SMPs
dated May 29, 2009 and June 5, 2009 respectively, and on June 9, 2009, the DWQ received a revised
Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Wet Pond 2. After reviewing the revised SMP, the DWQ
approves the final version dated June 5, 2009 along with Sheet 3.4 in the plan dated May 29, 2009 to
satisfy the stormwater condition required by the Water Quality Certification. You are required to meet the
following conditions:
The stormwater management system consisting of four wet detention ponds, all associated
appurtenances, stormwater conveyances, and the grading and drainage patterns depicted on the
plans, as approved by this office must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural
stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water
Quality. The stormwater management structures shall have maintenance access and at least a 10-
foot drainage easement on each side to allow for the ability to maintain the structures, and to
perform corrective actions. The stormwater easements shall be recorded to provide protection of
the structures from potential alterations by future property owners.
2. All operation and maintenance activities shall be followed as stipulated in the Operation and
Maintenance Agreements signed and notarized on May 20, 2009 (for ponds 1, 3 and 4) and on
June 9, 2009 (for pond 2), received in our office on May 28, 2009 and June 9, 2009 respectively.
