Response to General Stormwater Comments on March 01, 2011 <br />Adequacy Issue #6 <br />Exhibits C-5 and C-8, vegetation and soils, respectively, only provide information within the <br />permit boundary. Run-on from upgradient contributing drainage basins (as delineated in Figure <br />SWMP-2) require soils and vegetation information to estimate storm water peak flows and/or <br />volumes. Please provide soils and vegetation information for all contributing drainage basins. <br />Response #6 <br />Soil and vegetation characteristics were considered for the entire drainage basin. The soils <br />and vegetation data is presented in exhibit I and J respectively. <br />Adequacy Issue #7 <br />Please clarify the meaning of, or remove "Sq feet" under the column labeled "Rainfall Amount" <br />and "Acres" under the column labeled "Runoff' as necessary on page 1 of Tables SWMP A, B, <br />C, D, G, and H. <br />Response #7 <br />As requested, "Sq Feet" was removed from all referenced tables. <br />Adequacy Issue #8 <br />Culvert Designs - Tables SWMP D, E, and F: Page one of each table references Haested's <br />CulvertMaster software package. However, it appears that Haested's F1owMaster software was <br />used to perform the culvert analyses. A full-slow pipe analysis is not appropriate for culvert <br />design or analyses. This approach fails to account for head loss at the culvert entrance and outlet. <br />It should be noted that a considerable amount of head is required to force a culvert on a relatively <br />steep slope (e.g. 3% in Tables SWMP D & F) to flow full. Standard engineering practice for <br />allowable head at a culvert entrance is 1.5 times the culvert diameter. Please use appropriate <br />methodology and engineering practice to size culverts. <br />Response #8 <br />Culverts are designed in accordance with referenced documents. The allowable head at <br />culvert entrance has been limited to less than 1.5 times the culvert diameter. All culvert <br />slopes are range from 2 to 5 % and D50 riprap has been specified. Culverts are designed <br />with rip rap energy dissipation at the outlets." <br />Adequacy Issue #9 <br />Please correlate or use consistent nomenclature for the storm water management structures <br />shown in Figure SWMP-1 with the elements designed in Tables SWMP 1 and SWMP A through <br />4 <br />5/11/2011 <br />
