Alex Rosser 1000A Ted Johnson Parkway Greensboro NC 27409 Subject: REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GSO Rental Car Facilities Relocation Dear Mr. Rosser: On August 14, 2019, the Division of Water Resources — Water Quality Programs (Division) received your application dated July 12, 2019, requesting an Individual Water Quality Certification and Jordan Lake Buffer Authorization from the Division for your project. The Division has determined that your application is incomplete and cannot be processed. The application is on -hold until all of the following information is received: 1. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requests a response to any comments received as a result of the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE. 115A NCAC 02H .0502(c)]. 2. Please provide detailed site plans at a scale of no smaller than 1"=50' with topographic contours shown for the future aerospace development and Worldwide Dr. Please locate all wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers as overlays on the site plan. These drawings must include clear impact drawings and/or insets that include all permanent fill (fill slopes, road shoulders, dissipator pads, etc.) and any temporary fill as hatching or color coded. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)] 3. Please provide a detailed engineering plan, profile view, and cross-section of all proposed culverts. These drawings must include details regarding stream alignment in relation to pipe alignment, pipe slope, pipe burial, and dissipater pad. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)] 4. Please clarify whether the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources will require riprap within any stream channels or wetlands as part of the Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources D_E 512 North Salisbury Street 1 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 2 769 9 1617 o.��-' 919.707.9000 Piedmont Triad Airport Authority D W R# 20191081 Request for Additional Information Page 2 of 3 approval. If riprap is required, please enumerate and clearly label the temporary and permanent impacts on the site plan and submit a channel restoration detail. Riprap must be located below the stream bed elevation. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f) and (g)] 5. All work must be done "in the dry", therefore, dewatering methods will be necessary to temporarily dewater the stream channel during pipe installation. Please provide a construction sequence that details the method of dewatering to be utilized for any proposed culvert installation and the sequence of construction events to be followed to ensure compliance with this requirement. In addition, please ensure that the location of the temporary impacts are shown on the construction drawings and clearly indicated in the revised impact table. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(b)(3)] 6. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H.0506(a) a 401 Water Quality Certification may only be issued upon determining that existing uses are not removed or degraded by a discharge to classified surface waters. The application notes that impervious surfaces from the future aerospace development and Worldwide drive will be treated in Stormwater Pond F-1. Please note that the rerouting of any drainage area and surface flow has the potential to remove existing hydrology from features adjacent to this project and therefore remove existing uses of the stream channels or wetlands. Please provide a detailed hydrologic analysis of indirect impacts to the stream immediately below these impact areas. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02H.0506(a) a 401 Water Quality Certification may only be issued upon determining that existing uses are not removed or degraded by a discharge to classified surface waters. Based on the information provided in the application and associated documents, the current drainage area of Stream SB within the New Rental Car Facilities is proposed to be rerouted through multiple stormwater wet detention basins. Please note that the rerouting of any drainage area and surface flow has the potential to remove existing hydrology from features adjacent to this project and therefore remove existing uses of the stream channels or wetlands. Please provide a detailed hydrologic analysis of indirect impacts to the stream immediately below theis impact areas. 8. You have indicated that the future aerospace development and worldwide drive meet the definition of "Airport Facilities" per 15A NCAC 02B .0267 and that the impacts are identified within the Table of Uses as "Allowable with Mitigation". Please submit a buffer mitigation plan detailing the amount of buffer impact for Zone 1 and/or Zone 2 and how the impact will be mitigated. [15A NCAC 02B.0267] 9. The Division is currently reviewing the Stormwater Management Plan submitted for the New Rental Car Facilities and will send comments regarding the review by separate document. Pursuant to Title 15A NCAC 02H .0502(e) and 15A NCAC 02B [Neuse] .0267, the applicant shall furnish all of the above requested information for the proper consideration of the application. Please respond in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of this letter by sending one (1) copy of all of the above Piedmont Triad Airport Authority DWR# 20191081 Request for Additional Information Page 3 of 3 requested information to the 401 & Buffer Permitting Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 OR by submitting all of the above requested information through this link: https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/Supplemental-Information-Form (note the DWR# requested on the link is referenced above).
