The additional parking lot will consist of approximately 7,000 new parking spaces, drive aisles, associated storm drainage and storm water management facilities. The proposed expansion will have a total land disturbance of approximately 120 AC. The proposed development primarily drains to Haley's Branch to the East. Haley's Branch is part of the Crabtree Creek basin which is part of the Neuse River Basin. The Project will be constructed in two main phases. The first phase will consist of the clearing and grubbing of the area for the project. The second phase will consist of the remaining portion of the expansion project which will encompass the final grading, curb & gutter, paving, lighting, storm drainage, and SCM installation for the proposed lot expansion areas. RDU falls under the jurisdiction of the State of North Carolina for permitting activities other than building permits, which is through Wake County, NC. RDU is required to adhere the NCDEMLR Post Construction Stormwater minimum requirements which consist of capturing and treating the first one (1) inch of rainfall over the impervious area of the project and releasing the runoff at a rate no greater than the pre-developed 1 YR-24HR storm event. This project is on airport property, where SCMs that require standing water are not allowed per FAA guidance due to the increase in potential for wildlife attractants, primarily birds. Additionally, this project was intentionally designed to avoid impacts to existing stream and wetlands, creating a "unique" parking lot shape. Other considered SCMs that meet the wildlife attractant criteria either do not provide adequate treatment for the project's goals or are not feasible due to site conditions. The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority(RDUAA) has also pursued a lengthy environmental review policy and proposes to significantly exceed the minimum requirements set forth by the NCDEMLR BMP manual for post construction stormwater requirements. RDUAA has not only set forth a plan to treat the first one (1) inch of rainfall across the impervious area but to treat the 1-yr, 24-hour storm event (2.83 inches). The SCMs shall also capture and release the following post construction storm flows at or below the respective pre-developed design storm flow rates: the 1 YR, 2 YR, 5 YR, 10 YR, 25 YR, 50 YR and 100 YR storm events. As a part of this Project, RDUAA is pursuing Envision certification through the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) to further their commitment to sustainable development and low impact design (LID). RDUAA will be using an innovative approach to water treatment and storage goals for the different storm events. The proposed primary treatment measure will be a Submerged Gravel Wetland (SGW). While this measure is currently adopted in various forms throughout several other states, it is currently not a standalone SCM in North Carolina. However, NCDOT is adopting the practice currently and several pilot programs have occurred throughout the state. These stormwater controls have been used in surrounding states for storm water treatment and nutrient removal with great success, achieving treatment results at or above current North Carolina standards in most scenarios. The proposed measures will not only treat the runoff through the use of the Raleigh-Durham Airport 1 August 2023 Authority PE3 Expansion forebay, the wetland plants, and the microorganisms in the gravel substrate, but will also provide the storage within the SGW to contain and release stormwater at or below the pre-developed storm events. A Submerged Gravel Wetland Implementation Strategy (Strategy) was developed and shared with NCDEQ earlier this year after a promising discussion with the NCDWR non-point source group, who expressed great interest in this technology's application for this project. The Strategy discusses the proposed approach for this project as well as synthesizes data on SGWs from North Carolina and other states. It is attached to this application RDUAA worked with Dr. William Hunt at North Carolina State University regarding the use of the SGW for this project. Dr. Hunt and his graduate students have studied this technology for several years and have confirmed its effectiveness. Additionally, RDUAA will be engaging a local university or consultant to monitor the installation and observe the efficiency of the measures for research use by NCDEMLR. RDUAA is seeking approval for this stormwater management approach as a one-off application for a project that can provide not only improved water quantity and quality management, but also valuable data for NCDEQ to use to hopefully adopt the practice for statewide use. RDUAA is looking forward to working with NCDEQ on this matter. NCDEQ's existing primary design criteria for bioretention cells and constructed wetlands have both been modified for application in this project. Raleigh-Durham Airport 2 August 2023 Authority PE3 Expansion EXISTING CONDITIONS This project lies within the Neuse River Basin. The existing terrain of the project location consists of a variety of differing slopes (2-30% slopes) and is currently woodland. Runoff from this area collects in a series of drainage areas that drain to Hailey's Branch to the east and an unnamed tributary to the west. Hailey's Branch is part of the Crabtree Creek Basin which is part of the Nuese River Basin. The soils within the proposed development area are classified by soils surveys as the following hydrologic soils group: CID soils. For this analysis, Group C soil type was used to be more conservative. A detailed Soils Survey Map for the Project is attached within this document. A Geotechnical Report for the proposed development has been performed by the RDUAA. The Seasonal High-Water Table (SHWT) Geotechnical Report is included in this document under Season High-Water Table at the locations for the SGWs. No groundwater was encountered in the bore holes. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This development program will consist of the installation of the proposed parking lot, lighting, storm drainage and submerged gravel wetlands. The total drainage area to the proposed seven (7) SGWs will be approximately 78 AC. The BUA area for this development is 78 AC of proposed impervious and 43 AC of proposed pervious area for a total of 121 AC which equates to a BUA for the immediate project site of 63.83%. EXISTING REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS This Stormwater Management Plan does fall in a NPDES Phase II Area. The RDUAA is a quasi-municipal government and is required to adopt the minimum stormwater requirements for the NPDES Phase II regulations as part of the Airport Authorities Stormwater Management Program. The requirements for the Stormwater Management Plan for this development require that the first 1" of rainfall over the site must be captured and released over a 2 — 5-day period. The Stormwater Management Plan quantity controls have been designed in accordance with the NCDEMLR BMP manual, current edition. The Project is not subject to the Post Construction ordinance water quantity provisions of the surrounding counties or municipalities. STORMWATER QUANTITY AND QUALITY ANALYSIS In addition to the minimum requirement for the treatment of the first one (1) inch of rainfall, RDUAA is proposing to treat the 1 YR-24 HR Storm. RDUAA would like to include the provision of capturing the post developed peak runoff rate for the 1-YR, 2-YR. 5-YR, 10- YR, 25-YR, 50-YR and 100-YR 24-hour storm events back to, or below the pre-developed rates for the same storm events. This design has also made provision for the post Raleigh-Durham Airport 3 August 2023 Authority PE3 Expansion developed 100 YR storm event volume to be attenuated in the management system and released over a 2 — 5-day period. The SGW design is based on the requirements for the bioretention cell with elements of constructed wetlands. For the 1-YR storm event, water will be contained above the surface of the plantings and wetland soil media and be drawn down within 48 hours through the media into an underdrain system and discharged through an upturned elbow within the outlet structure. Subsequent storm events will be controlled through a rectangular weir placed above the elevation of the 1 YR storm stage. All the remaining storm events use the rectangular weir and the media and have discharges that are well below the pre-developed flow rates for the differing storm events. The SCMs will each have an impervious liner beneath the gravel media layer and under the forebay areas. The different outlet structures consist of concrete riser structures with a primary 6" or 4" diameter drawdown orifice and a rectangular weir above the treatment volume for the 1- YR storm. Varying class III reinforced concrete pipe sizes have been designed for the outlet pipes. The outlet will drain onto a riprap outlet protection and overland flow to existing drainage features that drain to Hailey's Branch or the unnamed tributary. The outlet pipes from the SGWs are sized to attenuate the 100 YR Storm Flow. The riprap aprons for the outlet pipes from the SGWs are sized for the 100-YR storm event. The SGWs will not have an earthen emergency spillway; the emergency spillway will be the top of the concrete riser structure. The SGWs have been designed as a water quality and quantity measure to reduce the overall post developed flow for the 1-YR, 2-YR. 5-YR, 10- YR, 25-YR, 50-YR and 100-YR 24-hour storms discharging from the site. The 100 YR storm frequency has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. The SGW will pass the 1 YR storm event through the media without the use of the weir. The SGW will pass the 2-YR storm event with minimal use of the weir, and the majority of the storm event will pass through the media. A Geotechnical Report of the Seasonal High-Water Table (SHWT) for the Proposed Development has been performed and no ground water was encountered. The seasonal high-water table information is in the section called Seasonal High-Water Table. The soils on the project site typically have a SHWT greater than 6 ft. and no groundwater or wet soil was encountered during any of the borings for the site. The storm water management basins were analyzed using Hydraflow software. The drainage basins were modeled using the NRCS method to calculate runoff. The Pre- Developed NRCS curve numbers were determined based upon the existing conditions. The Post Developed NRCS number was determined based upon the proposed impervious areas and open spaces. TR-55 methodology was used to determine the Time of Concentration (Tc) used for the pre-Developed drainage areas and the Post Developed drainage areas was determined using the Kirpich Method and using a minimum time of concentration of 5 minutes for areas with a Tc less than 5 minutes. The SGWs have been designed to capture and release the post developed 1-YR, 2-YR. 5-YR, 10-YR, 25-YR, 50-YR and 100-YR 24-hour storm events at an equal to or less flow rate than the pre- developed storms. The SGWs for the post developed drainage areas are designed to have a release rate at or below the pre-developed runoff rates. Raleigh-Durham Airport 4 August 2023 Authority PE3 Expansion CONCLUSION The Project drains by concrete curb & gutter to a storm drainage system and onto the SGWs through a forebay area. The stormwater is collected in an underdrain system in the SGWs, exits through the outlet structure, and released as dispersed flow at the edge of the existing drainage features up stream of Hailey's Branch and the unnamed tributary to Hailey's Branch near the property lines.
