ORANGE COITNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> HILLSBOROUGH <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 27278 <br /> 6 .1t <br /> or <br /> 17 � 'S: <br /> * i:p.. <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Eddie Kirk , Planner <br /> FROM: Warren Faircloth, Erosion Control Officer <br /> SUBJECT: Dathene Terrace Stormwater Management Plan <br /> DATE: November 14 , 1986 <br /> I have reviewed the Stormwater Management Plan for this <br /> subdivision and find that it does not meet the Ordinance <br /> requirements. <br /> The plan submitted deals with controlling the rate of runoff <br /> from the development of these lots, which does not, in this <br /> case, address the Ordinance requirements of infiltrating and <br /> filtering the runoff. I foresee great difficulty in design- <br /> ing a stormwater management plan for this site. This site <br /> was filled with waste stone from Piedmont Minerals several <br /> years ago. I do not believe that this material provides any <br /> capacity for absorbing and filtering runoff from these lots. <br /> The topography of the site also restricts meeting the Ordi- <br /> nance requirements since the lots are split by a watercourse <br /> and runoff from roofs and drives can only be spread over a <br /> portion of the lots. The use of alternate methods, such as <br /> detention structures, appears to have limited potential <br /> because of the very flat topography and lack of space to <br /> accommodate the structure. <br /> • <br />
