APPROVAL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Simpson:
On January 12, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received the revised storm water
management plan prepared by your engineer, Mr. Gregory Antemann, of Carolina Wetland Services Inc.
This Plan has been reviewed and satisfies the storm water management conditions of the 401 Water
Quality Certification issued on October 19, 2005.
The structural storm water practices as approved by DWQ as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water practices shall be made without
written authorization from the Division of Water Quality. Storm water easements shall be recorded for a
distance of at least 10 feet on each side of all storm water conveyances on all lots containing these
structures including future access for maintenance. The storm water easements shall allow for the ability
to maintain the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of
the structures from potential alternations by future property owners.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone Mr. Samuel A. Aghimien at 919-733-3574.

SUBJECT: 11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site
APPROVAI, of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Simpson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill 80 in 0.33 acre of wetlands in
order to construct the Steele Creek Corporate Center in Mecklenburg County, as described in your revised application
materials received by the Division of Water Quality on October 4, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 (GC 3402) which can be
viewed on our web site at http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This Certification replaces
the one issued to you on March 15, 2004.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and
is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 21-1 .0506 (h). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
condition listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place
within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed
notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands ;
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased
borrow pits associated with the project.

C. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint
of the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the
design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices,
shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they
shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources
has released the project;
An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized
Operation and Maintenance Agreement) shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in
this Certification occur per Condition No. 4 in GC No. 3402. This applies to your modification request
received October 4, 2005, in which you proposed to downsize the extended detention wetland to 0.30 acre.
You must provide evidence that the proposed re-design will adequately treat stormwater runoff. The
stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities that are
appropriate for surface waters classified as Class C and designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent
version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to
treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality.
Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall
be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be
implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
6. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in
the 401 Certification has been completed.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask
for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Alan Johnson in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi
Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.

WET [WETLAND] DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREENIENT
[VIetland maintenance wording is bracketed. Please modify the document as appropriate.]
The wet [wetland] detention basin system is defined as the wet [wetland] detention basin, pretreatment
including forebays and the vegetated filter if one is provided.
Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly:
a. Inspect the wet [wetland] detention basin system for sediment accumulation, erosion, trash
accumulation, vegetated cover, and general condition.
b. Check and clear the orifice of any obstructions such that drawdown of the temporary pool occurs within
2 to 5 days as designed.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re-seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover, mow
vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (i.e. catch basins, piping, swales, riprap, etc.) quarterly to
maintain proper functioning.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the wet [wetland] detention basin system semi-annually or when
depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth (see diagram below). Removed sediment shall be
disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall be handled in a manner that will not adversely impact
water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a wet [wetland] detention basin or stream, etc.).
The measuring device used to determine the sediment elevation shall be such that it will give an accurate
depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
When the permanent pool depth reads. ^ feet in the main pond, the sediment shall be removed.
[For stormwater wetlands: If the elevation of the marsh areas exceed the permanent pool elevation, the
sediment should be removed to design levels. This shall be performed by removing the upper 6 inches of
soil and stockpiling it. Then the marsh area shall be excavated six inches below design elevations.
Afterwards the stockpiled soil should be spread over the marsh surface. The soil should not be stockpiled
for more than two weeks.]
When the permanent pool depth readsfeet in the forebay [and micro-pool], the sediment shall
be removed.

Remove cattails and other indigenous wetland plants when they cover 50% of the basin surface. These
plants shall be encouraged to grow along the vegetated shelf and forebay berm.
[For wetlands: Wetland planting densities in the marsh areas should be maintained by replanting bare
areas as needed. Wetland plants should be encouraged to grow in the marsh areas.]
6
If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the flushing of sediment
through the emergency drain shall be minimized to the maximum extent practical.
Pa,-,e 1 of 2
7. All components of the wet [4vetland] detention basin system shall be maintained in good working order.
8. Level spreaders or other structures that provide diffuse flow shall be maintained every six months. All
accumulated sediment and debris shall be removed from the structure, and a level elevation shall be
maintained across the entire flow spreading structure. Any down gradient erosion must be repaired and/or
replanted as necessary.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the seven
maintenance procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any
changes to the system or responsible party.

SUBJECT: 11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Simpson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill 80 in 0.33 acre of wetlands in
order to construct the Steele Creek Corporate Center in Mecklenburg County, as described in your revised application
materials received by the Division of Water Quality on October 4, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402 (GC 3402) which can be
viewed on our web site at htty://h2 o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This Certification replaces
the one issued to you on March 15, 2004.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and
is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
condition listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place
within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed
notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.tis/ncwetlands ;
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Alanual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Alanual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased
borrow pits associated with the project.

C. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint
of the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the
design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices,
shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they
shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources
has released the project;
5. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized
Operation and Maintenance Agreement) shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in
this Certification occur per Condition No. 4 in GC No. 3402. This applies to your modification request
received October 4, 2005, in which you proposed to downsize the extended detention wetland to 0.30 acre.
You must provide evidence that the proposed re-design will adequately treat stormwater runoff. The
stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities that are
appropriate for surface waters classified as Class C and designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent
version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to
treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality.
Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office) shall
be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall be
implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
6. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in
the 401 Certification has been completed.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask
for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Alan Johnson in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi
Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.
Sincerely,
Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

the one issued to you on March 15, 2004.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new
certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and
is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 211.0506 (h). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
condition listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place

Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC is submitting an addendum to Nationwide Pen-nit (NWP) No. 39 issued
for the 11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site approved on April 8, 2004 (Action ID No. 200430620,
DWQ No. 04-0324).
The Steele Creek Corporate Center Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the southeast quadrant of
the Sam Neely Road - Steele Creek Road intersection. Previous impacts associated with this project total
approximately 0.21 acre of Wetland AA (Figure 1). The site plan has been redesigned to include additional
buildings. The total building footprint will need to increase to allow for truck turn-around space and a fire
lane in the rear of the building. Total impacts will be 0.33 acre of Wetland AA. The revised plan is included
(Figure 2). Proposed mitigation under the original submittal included the construction of a 0.48 acre on-site
extended detention wetland. The new site design will not accommodate a detention wetland of this size.
Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC will resize the extended detention wetland to 0.30 acre. The additional
impacts will remain under the nationwide permit thresholds. Erosion control matting and proper sediment
controls will be utilized to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
If you have any questions concerning this project, don't hesitate to contact Gregg Antemann at
[phone]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Ms. Karoly:
Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC is submitting an addendum to Nationwide Permit (NWT) No. 39 issued
for the 11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site approved on April 8, 2004 (Action ID No. 200430620,
DWQ No. 04-0324).
The Steele Creek Corporate Center Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the southeast quadrant of
the Sam Neely Road - Steele Creek Road intersection. Previous impacts associated with this project total
approximately 0.21 acre of Wetland AA (Figure 1). The site plan has been redesigned to include additional
buildings. The total building footprint will need to increase to allow for truck turn-around space and a fire
lane in the rear of the building. Total impacts will be 0.33 acre of Wetland AA. The revised plan is included
(Figure 2). Proposed mitigation under the original submittal included the construction of a 0.48 acre on-site
extended detention wetland. The new site design will not accommodate a detention wetland of this size.
Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC will resize the extended detention wetland to 0.30 acre. The additional
impacts will remain under the nationwide permit thresholds. Erosion control matting and proper sediment
controls will be utilized to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
If you have any questions concerning this project, don't hesitate to contact Gregg Antemann at
[phone]. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I1-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site March 3, 2003
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2001-0565
Executive Summary
The 11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the
southeast quadrant of the Sam Neely Road - Steele Creek Road intersection. This project
proposes to develop approximately 11 acres of predominantly wooded area into an industrial
site. Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide permitting services for this project.
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there is one
jurisdictional wetland area (Wetland AA) located within the project limits. In an attempt to
minimize impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was conducted to
determine the least damaging site plan that still meets the goals of the project. Unavoidable
impacts associated with this project total approximately 0.21 acre of Wetland AA. On behalf of
Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13,
and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3362. An
approximately 0.48-acre extended detention wetland will be created to compensate for impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands and to provide necessary storm water treatment for the proposed
development.
11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site March 3, 2004
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2004-0565
Existing Conditions
The 1 I-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the
southeast quadrant of the Sam Neely Road - Steele Creek Road intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). This project proposes to develop approximately 11 acres of
predominantly wooded area into an industrial site. Steele Creek Corporate Center, LLC has
contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide permitting services for this project
(Attachment B). The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The project area is currently comprised of predominantly undeveloped forest. Dominant canopy
vegetation includes mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), red cedar (Junipents virginiana), red
maple (ulcer rubnon), sweetgum (Liquidatnbar styraciflua), wild cherry (Primus serotina),
flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), shagbark hickory (Catya ovata), willow oak
(Ouercus phellos), and hackberry (Celtis laevigata). Dominant understory vegetation consists of
poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), catbriar
(Smilax rotundlfolia), and grape vine (Vitis rotundifolia). According to the Soil Survey of
Mecklenburg County', on-site soils predominantly consist of Iredell fine sandy loam, 0 to 1
percent slopes (IrA), with a small area of Wilkes loam, 4 to 8 percent slopes (WkB) located in
the southeast corner of the site. The IrA soil type exhibits slow permeability, medium water
capacity, and slow surface runoff, and is known to contain hydric inclusions within Mecklenburg
County.' The WkB soil type is well drained and exhibits moderately slow permeability and very
low water capacity.
Jurisdictional Delineation
From May 20-30, 2003, CWS's Gregg Antemann, Kip Kerecman, and Ron Johnson delineated
on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.3 within the project area using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.' One wetland area (Wetland AA) was
delineated within the 11-acre project area. Routine On-Site Data Forms representative of

Wetland AA and non jurisdictional upland areas have been included as Attachment E. No
t jurisdictional stream channels were identified within the project limits. On-Site jurisdictional areas
were field-verified by Mr. Steve Chapin of the USACE during a field meeting on June 18, 2003. A
signed copy of the USACE Waters of the U.S. Survey/Delineation Verification Form is included as
Attachment D.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional wetland area
' (Wetland AA) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figure 3). Wetland AA is located
within the Polk Ditch watershed. Polk Ditch is part of the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103)5
' and is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ.
Wetland AA is approximately 0.60 acre in size and is located in the southern portion of the site
' (Attachment A - Figure 3). Dominant vegetation consists of pignut hickory, shagbark hickory,
willow oak, red maple, sweetgum, hackberry, poison ivy, and catbriar. Wetland AA exhibited
' saturation and inundation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile at the time of the field
investigation. This wetland also exhibited low ch roma soils (10YR 4/1) with no mottles
' (Attach mcnt E - DP 1). Photographs of Wetland AA are included as

11-Acre Steele Creek Corporate Center Site March 3, 2004
Natiow ide Permit No. 39 Application Project No. 2004-0565
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to develop the site into an industrial building with attendant
features (e.g., parking lot). These facilities are required to provide industrial space to a rapidly
growing section of Charlotte. This site offers close proximity to major interstates and similar
facilities.
Avoidance and Minimization
In an attempt to minimize impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas, an alternatives analysis was
conducted to determine the least damaging site plan that still meets the goals of the project. The
original site plan proposed to impact approximately 0.39 acre of Wetland AA to construct the
proposed building pad and extended detention wetland (Attachment G - Figure 4). The revised
plan reduces impacts to Wetland AA by 0.18 acre (54% reduction) by reconfiguring the
proposed detention wetland to avoid impacts to Wetland AA (Attachment H - Figure 5).
Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
Proposed impacts to Wetland AA will total approximately 0.21 acre and will result from
construction of a proposed building pad (Attachment H - Figure 5). On behalf of Steele Creek
Corporate Center, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with
attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to
Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3362 (Attachment C).
Compensatory Mitigation
To compensate for impacts to 0.21 acre of jurisdictional wetlands, an on-site extended detention
wetland will be created. This proposed wetland area is illustrated in Figure 5 (Attachment H).
This shallow wetland detention area will be approximately 0.48 acre in size and will provide
more than 2:1 mitigation for the proposed impacts. This area will be planted with native wetland
vegetation to improve its natural wetland functions and to provide wildlife habitat. A monitoring
event will be conducted one year post-construction to determine the success of the wetland
plantings.

1 Storm Water Management Plan
The site is currently undeveloped, and therefore is entirely comprised of pervious soils. The
' proposed site plan specifies the construction of building pads, roads, and parking areas, and will
result in the conversion of approximately 7 acres (64%) of the site to impervious coverage. To
adequately treat runoff from this impervious area, an approximately 0.48-acre wetland BMP will
be constructed to receive storm water from the proposed development.

XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The site is currently undeveloped, and therefore is entirelv comprised of pervious soils. The
proposed site plan specifies the construction of building pads, roads, and parking areas, and will
result in the conversion of approximately 7 acres (64%) of the site to impervious covera.e. To
adequately treat runoff from this impervious area, an approximately 0.48-acre wetland BMP will
be constructed to receive storm water from the proposed development.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
This development will be connected to an existing sanitary sewer system.
