Good Afternoon,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete Stormwater Management Permit
Application for the subject project on December 5, 2022. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined
that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 - 1062
rules. We are forwarding Permit No. SW4211102, dated January 30, 2023, for the construction, operation and
maintenance of the subject project and the stormwater system. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance
and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency
permit that may be required.

The original signed permit package and approved plans are being mailed to the permittees, Aiken & Charlotte Keppler,
at the following address (NOTE: An electronic version of this permit can be found in our online repository:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/Browse.aspx?id=494276&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources):

Aiken & Charlotte Keppler, Property Owners
721 Ancient Oaks Drive
Holly Springs, NC 27540

I will hold onto our hard copies of these projects for 30 days (in case any issues/typos with the permit are noticed and
corrections need to be made) after which point, they will be kept on file at the Winston-Salem Regional Office. If you
have any questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Jim Farkas at
[e-mail].

Good Afternoon,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the above mentioned project on 11/15/2021.
Reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 30 – 45 calendar days, but can take up to 90 calendar
days per statute (our other reviewer, Corey Anen, no longer works for the State, so this review will probably be closer to
45 days than 30). Please upload all documents that you mailed into our office through the link provided below. Be sure
to choose the Central Office as the Primary Contact office.

https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that each file is uploaded under its appropriate file type. Additional file types can be
entered into the electronic form by clicking on the “Add Another Post-Construction File Upload” link directly below the
“State Stormwater Information Uploads” section of the form. Please do not upload entire plan sets through this form,
3

but rather upload the relevant individual sheets under the appropriate file type. Selecting the correct file type ensures
that the files are properly named in the electronic repository and it helps expedite the review process.

Please type in permit #: SW4211102

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Farkas [e-mail] 919-707-3646.

Good Morning,

6

We received your application for a new post-construction stormwater permit on 10/22/2021. At this time, the
submission is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide
the following submittal items within 30 calendar days so that we may accept the project and begin the review process,
otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.

- 1x original signed & sealed hard copy of the Supplement-EZ Form. This item is required per Section V and
Section VI, 3 of the Application. The provided Sand-Filter Supplement is for a 401 Certification and is not
acceptable for a post-construction permit/approval (The correct supplement form can be found at the following
link: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-
program/stormwater-design)
- 2x signed & sealed hard copies of the plan sheets showing the following:
o Existing site conditions/contours (Required per Section VI, 8k of the Application)
o Drainage area(s) to the proposed sand filter (Required per Section IV, 8o of the Application & 15A NCAC
02H .1042(2)(g)(iv))
o On-site wetland determination (Required per Section VI, 8m & 15A NCAC 02H.1042(2)(g)(iii)).

If these items are received within the stipulated timeframe, we can accept the project and begin the review process.
Once accepted, reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 30 – 45 calendar days, but can take up to
90 calendar days per statute (one of our two reviewer positions is currently vacant so this review will probably be closer
to 45 days than 30).

Hard copies should be mailed to the following address:
For FedEx/UPS:
Jim Farkas
512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640E
Raleigh, NC 27604

For USPS:

1612 Mail Service Center
