Subject: Stormwater Review SW7070331
Vanceboro Fire Department
Craven County
Dear Mr. Midgette:
This office received a Coastal Stormwater permit application and plans for the subject project on March
28, 2007. A preliminary review of your project indicates that before a State Stormwater permit can be issued the
following additional information is needed:
1. The riser detail on page 4 of 8 shows a 2.5 inch diameter orifice while the calculations and the wet
detention pond supplement specify a 1.0 inch orifice. Please correct.
2. For the vegetated shelf please provide a written, detailed vegetation plan, prepared by a qualified
individual, that indicates a variety of suitable species, location, spacing, soil preparation, fertilizer
requirements, installation procedures, construction schedule, etc. Cattails are a dominant type
species and should not be included in the plan.
3. What is the estimated seasonal high water table in the area of the wet detention pond? The
permanent pool elevation should be close to the seasonal high water table elevation.
4. Wetlands should be delineated or include a note on the plans that none exist.
The above requested information must be received in this office prior to June 4, 2007 or your application
will be returned as incomplete. The return of this project will necessitate resubmittal of all required 'Items including
the application fee. If you need additional time to submit the required information, please mail or fax your request
for time extension to this office at the letterhead address.
You should also be aware that the Stormwater Rules require that the permit be issued prior to any
development activity. Construction without a permit is a violation of 15A NCAC 21-1.1000 and North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 and may result in civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at [phone].

PART III, ITEM 1. DETAILED NARRATIVE
VANCEBORO RURAL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, INC.
The site of the proposed retail and wholesale building supply store proposed by VANCEBORO RURAL
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, INC, is located on an existing parcel of land previously used as
agricultural fields. More specifically, the project site is located on the West side of NC HIGHWAY 43
across from the Foodlion, just before the intersection of NC 43 and NC 118. The site contains
approximately 2.27 acres and is in the Neuse River Basin.
The proposed development will consist of a building with truck bays and a meeting area, associated
parking, truck maintenance areas, and grassed perimeter. The proposed development will create a
impervious surfaces of approximately 1.46 acres of buildings, concrete and pavement.
The site is a single drainage basin with drainage from impervious surfaces collected using a system of
catch basins and pipes connected to a wet detention pond as treatment for stormwater runoff. The pond
outlets through decant structure with riser spillway connected with a pipe to a grass lined swale to the
existing drainage at the rear of the property.
The stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) proposed for the site includes a single wet detention
pond.
The wet detention pond is designed to retain the first inch of rainfall on the site and the excess rainfall will
be discharged through a riser in the main body of the pond, and discharge into the outlet swale that
connects with existing drainage.
The wet detention pond is configured for a vegalive shelf. The species, soil specifications, and planting is
outlined on SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET 9 and detailed in the BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES that
follow.

MANAGEMENT PLAN
NARRATIVE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project involves the construction of a volunteer Fire department building, parking and driveways,
and stormwater treatment area. The proposed development will create an impervious surface of
approximately 1.46 acres of buildings, storage, parking and driveways.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located in Craven County. More specifically, the project site is located on the
West side of NC HIGHWAY 43 across from the Foodlion in Vanceboro, just before the
intersection of NC 43 and NC 118. The site contains approximately 2.27 acres of grassed
field and is in the Neuse River Basin. There is a sign on the site indicating the proposed use.
ADJACENT PROPERTY
The site is bounded to the north by undeveloped property, to the east by NC HWY 43, to the
west by cut over timberland, and to the south by a mobile home.
SOILS
The site is located on the north side of NC Highway 43 in Vanceboro.
The site is a formerly cultivated field with a soil type, based upon the USDA SOIL
SURVEY OF CRAVEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, of Leaf (La), a mucky loamy
sand.
A hand auger was used to check the soils on 13 March 07 and the auger revealed the
following soils:
DEPTH Description
0"-12" Loamy silt somewhat granular
12"-36" yellow to grey mottled clay, somewhat granular, slightly plastic
36"-48" Brown sandy clay with streaks of yellow clay, cohesive, with some silt
Using a 4' Auger, the water table was approximately 3.5' below surface of the site(site
surface at boring was —elevation 27, water level found at elevation 23.5), evidence found
during the investigation suggests that this is the seasonal high water table within 6" +/-. The
soils found at the site suggest that the permanent pool will stabilize at the design level,
elevation 24, once stormwater is introduced into the pond. The Permanent Pool surface area
should remain static within 30 days of construction.

STORMWATER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A Wet pond with vegetated outlet is the BMP's proposed for this project. The site is graded
to catch basins and stormwater runoff is piped to the pond forebay. The wet detention pond
is located at the rear of the property.
The pond is designed with an overflow that discharges rainfall over the first 1" to an outlet swale and
then to existing drainage.
PLANTING SOIL
Planting soil in the vegative shelf of the retention pond shall be one foot deep and located as
indicated in the plans. The following specifications, adapted from the NCDENR Stormwater
Best Management Practices Manual, shall apply to the planting soil.
• The planting soil shall have clay content ranging from 10 to 25 % and shall have a
sandy loam or loamy sand texture with at least 35 % sand.
• The planting soil shall be of uniform composition, free of stones, stumps, roots, or
similar objects larger than one inch, brush, or any other material or substance which
may be harmful to plant growth, or a hindrance to planting or maintenance
operations.
• The planting soil shall be free of plants or plant parts of Bermuda grass, Quack
grass, Johnson grass, Mugwort, Nutsedge, Poison Ivy, or Canadian Thistle.
The planting soil shall be tested prior to installation and meet the following criteria:
pH range: 5.5 - 6.5
Organic matter: 1.5 - 3.0%
Magnesium (Mg): 35 Ibs/acre
Phosphorus (P2Os): 100 Ibs/acre
Potassium (K2O): 85 Ibs/acre
Soluble salts: not to exceed 500 ppm
Soil testing shall be performed at the following frequencies:
Sieve analysis, pH and organic matter two samples
magnesium phosphorus, potassium, and soluble salts one sample
Placement of the planting soil shall be in a single lift of 12 inches or less and lightly
compacted. Minimal compaction effort applied to the soil by tamping with a bucket from a
backhoe or similar method is acceptable. Soils shall be inspected and sampled by the
engineer prior to planting.

WET DETENTION POND VEGETATION
NCDENR recommends that indigenous wetland species be utilized to create a low
maintenance vegative stabilization of the 17, vegative shelf extending into the wet detention
basin. In the plan for the VANCEBORO RURAL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT, we
have specified three sedge species and one grass species from APPENDIX D, UPDATED
DRAFT MANUAL OF STORMWATER BEST MANAGAGMENT PRACTICES, NCDENR
DWQ July 2005. The sedge species will be planted at the waters edge and the prairie grass
will be seeded on the slopes of the wet detention pond.
The proposed sedge species include:
1: CAREX STRICTA (Upright Sedge/Tussock Sedge)
2: CAREX CRINITA (Long Hair Sedge)
3: CAREX LURIDA (Sallow Sedge)
The proposed prairie grass species is :
1:UNIOLA LATIFOLA (Upland Sea Oats)
A preliminary planting plan for these plants that is based upon the various recommendations
contained in the NCDENR BMP manual, to include the proposed plant density, is depicted on
the supplement to the stormwater plans. The engineer shall coordinate the final planting plan
with the landscaping contractor.
CALCULATIONS
Calculations are shown on sheet 4 of the drawings

MAINTENANCE
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The Owner shall ensure that all erosion and sediment control measures are installed prior to
the start of construction. Their proper operation shall be checked not less than once every
week during construction, and following every runoff -producing rainfall. All deficiencies shall
be repaired immediately and in accordance with the permitted Erosion and Sediment Control
plan.
The stormwater management system shall be constructed in its entirety, vegetated, and
made operational for its intended use prior to paving the proposed parking lot.
At least weekly during, and at the close of the construction phase of the project, the detention
pond area and peak flow control structures shall be inspected, repaired as needed, cleaned
of sediment and trash, and otherwise restored to the design grades. The inspections shall
include the following:
$ Check the embankments for erosion damage, (i.e., loss of vegetative cover,
piping, sloughing, settlement)
$ Check the overflow drains and their grates, and the pond discharge structure
for proper function, damage and/or blockages.
$ Check the areas for sedimentation, trash and other debris.
$ Check all plantings for health and damage.
Any damages discovered during an inspection shall be repaired immediately. Re-sod/replant
bare areas as needed to maintain specified vegetative coverage. Repair all damaged plants
if possible, and replace any plants that are dead or cannot be repaired. Regrading or
repairing of the side slopes shall include re -sodding, trimming and/or mowing, as needed. All
necessary repairs shall be performed prior to close-out of the construction phase.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Owner shall maintain a copy of the approved plans and specifications for a period equal
to the life of the permit unless otherwise required by the permit.
The Owner shall properly maintain and operate, or provide for the maintenance and
operation of the approved stormwater management system at all times to assure the
optimum working order, performance and efficiency of the system.
If there is a failure of this system to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, the Owner shall take corrective actions immediately, including those as may be
required by the Division of Water Quality, such as the construction of additional or
replacement stormwater management system.
The Owner shall maintain records of maintenance activities that shall be made available,
upon request, to authorized personnel of the Division of Water Quality. These records shall
indicate the dale, activity, the name of the person performing the work and what actions were
taken.

MAINTENANCE (cont'd)
Mowing
The side -slopes, planted with Upland Sea Oats, will require mowing one a year in
early spring. Other grassed areas shall be mowed as required to maintain a
maximum height of six inches during the main growing season and at least two other
times during the year to prevent woody growth and to control weeds.
Inspections
The Owner shall inspect the stormwater management system after every significant
runoff -producing rainfall event and at least;
Monthly for (but not limited to) the following:
sediment accumulation; trash accumulation; embankment or side slopes
stability, erosion, subsidence, cracking, bare areas; obstructions/clogging of
the stormwater riser;
Quarterly in addition to the monthly requirements:
for invasive plant growth
Semi-annually in addition to the quarterly requirements:
to ensure the intended function is still provided; for areas that might require
additional erosion control measures; for any modifications which have
occurred to the contributing watershed that will increase the amount of runoff
directed to the system.
Inspections shall be carried out with "Approved" plans.
Occasionally inspections shall be conducted during wet weather, or times of extreme
weather to determine if the system is functioning properly.
Deficiencies identified during inspections shall be corrected immediately.
Erosion Control
Corrective measures and repairs shall be done immediately to the project area and
stormwater management system where settlement, sloughing, and/or erosion have
occurred. Re -sod as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover. All repairs.shall
be done in accordance with the approved erosion and sediment control plan.
Sediment Removal
Sediment removal shall occur when accumulations affect system function and/or
designed grades approximately 1' of sediment in the basin and forebay. Riser
inspection and/or clean out shall be performed when runoff overtops the pond banks
during a typical rain event.
The Owner shall ensure that removed sediment is disposed of in an appropriate
manner and that it is handled in a manner that will not adversely impact water quality
(i.e., stockpiling near a wet detention basin, discharging into or near a stream,
wetlands, etc.) and in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Debris and Litter Removal
Debris and litter removal from the detention pond shall be included as a part of the
inspection process and periodic mowing operations. Particular attention shall be
paid to areas around drainage structures where debris may cause
clogging/obstructions. All trash and debris removed shall be disposed of according
to local, state, and federal regulations.

MAINTENANCE (cont=d)
NON -ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
Emergency Draining/Maintenance.
The Owner shall have a pump available that is capable of draining the detention
pond in the event that the overflow riser becomes clogged or for other emergency
situations . If the area must be drained in this manner, then the flushing of sediment
through the outlet shall be minimized to the maximum extent practical.
Structure Repairs and Replacement.
The Owner shall replace all deteriorated inlet/outlet works when deterioration from
use or age causes them to fail and/or function improperly.
MAINTENANCE COST:
The Owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with the maintenance (routine or
otherwise) and operation of the stormwater wet detention basin system.
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION:
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this Stormwater Management
System, the design Engineer shall submit to the Division of Water Quality a certification
stating that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with the approved plans,
specifications, and any additional supporting documentation.
