documentation of access for the proposed green area

Based on a comparison of Sheet C-800 to aerial photographs, the proposed green area contains
several ponds, a canal, and a marina, as well as areas what appear to be wetlands. Also, in some
locations the proposed green area appears to be shown to extend off the shoreline'west into the
sound. Please remove these areas from the proposed green area, and amend the plans and
application accordingly.
c. Per 15A NCAC 02H .0404(g)(7), the use of streets and roadways as green area are prohibited.
Plan Sheet C-800 shows streets, driveways, and parking lots included in the proposed green area.
Please remove these areas from the proposed green area, and amend the plans and application
accordingly.

Please clarify this designation, and amend the plans and application if necessary.

the upper portion of sand from the infiltration basin be removed and replaced this fall. Also, the notes

sand will be removed and replaced. Meanwhile, the comment responses for the Operation and
Maintenance Plan propose future inspection and possible maintenance of the basin, there is no
mention of any proposed work in the near future. Please amend the Operation and Maintenance Plan
to clarify the short term and long term maintenance plans for the high -rate infiltration basins.
