Dear Phil:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a copy of the Sedimentation and Erosion Control plan for the subject
project. Staff of the Wilmington Regional Office has reviewed the application for the applicability of the Stormwater
Management rules to the proposed activity at this project. Based on our review, you do not appear to be
proposing a development activity on this site at this point in time that would be subject to the stormwater
requirements as provided for in 15A NCAC 2H.1000. Please be advised that other regulations will potentially
apply to your proposed activities.
If your project disturbs one acre or more and has a point source discharge of stormwater runoff, then it is subject
to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater discharge requirements. You are
required to have an NPDES permit for stormwater discharge from projects meeting these criteria.
This exemption applies only to the Coastal Stormwater Management Permit for the currently proposed grading
activity. If at any time, construction on or development of any part of this site is planned, as defined in NCAC
2H.1000, including, but not limited to subdivision, sale of the property in whole or in part, or if the proposed
activities differ in any manner from what is shown on the plans on file with the Division, then you must submit the
project for review of the applicability of the stormwater management rules prior to said construction or
development. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 796-
7215.

Ed Beck

Linda,
Yes, that's the existing situation. There are small drains all over the
course draining the little depressions in the fairway. According to the
surveyor, there are hundreds of pipes out there connecting those drains and
it would be very time consuming to try to trace them all. I can't even tell
looking at the inverts how they are supposed to flow, they seem completely
random. We had to water test the system to verify the final destination.
Somehow or another, everything winds up in the existing 10" CPP that goes to
the catch basin near Dye Lake and then through the 2.4" RCP to the lake.

One question- the existing conditions map shows a lot of little circles
marked as "Drain", but there are no pipes shown leaving the drains. Are
there existing pipes connecting these drains that just didn't get put
onto the drawing?

Linda,
I'll send the existing conditions to clarify. The surveyor could not
provide a complete as -built due to the number of lines. Oddly enough, the
golf course does not have a plan of any kind of what was planned or built
out there. The new design is based on the topography and the outlet we have
to work with; the existing lines will be removed and won't affect the new
layout.

Yes, please submit 2 copies of the existing conditions map, if you have
it. Was the surveyor not able to provide any as -built plans of the
existing system in Fairway #10? How did you know what to design without
knowing the existing condition?

Linda,
Thanks for looking into this so quickly. Sorry, I should have
included an
existing conditions sheet with the submittal to clarify things.
There are
existing inlets in all the locations where the new inlets are
shown. They
are all connected somehow to Dye Lake, but according to the
surveyor there
is such a multitude of pipes it would take his crew a month to
trace them
all out. We have tested the system draining fairway #10 in a few
locations
to verify that it drains to the lake. In our view, tracing the
specific
path of every drain line to the lake is unnecessary and would
create a
huge
Isurvey expense. The 8" PVC lines shown on the plan are proposed to�

Phil.
There appears to be a significant number of "new" inlets located on
Fairway #10. However the plans are not clear if the 8" PVC
collection
piping in Fairway #10 is existing or proposed along with the new
inlets.
It appears that there will be a substantial increase in the amount
of
runoff entering one of the ponds via this collection system. Is
that
pond covered by one of our permits? If it is, it will need to be
reevaluated for the potential increase in drainage area.
Phil wrote:
Linda,
This is essentially maintenance. We are replacing
drain lines to fix
problem areas where the existing piped drainage
system is failing. Let
me
know if you have any questions about what is
proposed or if you would
like
Ito meet to discuss the plan. Thanks.

Phil.
Whenever I can get to it. I need to do a littie
research first. I
believe Landfall is overall low density with
treatment for the pockets
of high density, so adding a bunch of piping within
a low density
project may not be allowed.

Enclosed are two (2) sets of plans for the subject project. Please note that this project
is for the installation of a new drainage system in an existing golf course. No new
impervious areas are proposed. Therefore, we are requesting an exemption from the
State Stormwater Regulations.
Please review this information for approval and contact us with any questions or
comments you may have. Thank you for your assistance on this project.
